Staff and students are invited to be part of an audience for a brand new BBC Radio 4 quiz show that is being recorded at the Turner Sims on Wednesday 10 November.
鈥楾he 3rd Degree鈥� is a new radio quiz鈥� to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in the New Year鈥� that pits three Southampton academics against three Southampton students in a battle of general knowledge and specialist subject. The show is hosted by Steve Punt (from Radio 4鈥檚 鈥淭he Now Show鈥�) and will take about an hour to record.
Who will come out on top? Will the young generation reared on Twitter and downloads use their lightning-fast minds to overcome their elders and betters? Or will the denizens of academia demonstrate superior knowledge?
The recording takes place on Wednesday 10 November at Turner Sims. Doors open at 5.30pm for a 6pm start (finishing no later than 7pm) and entry is free!
Please book your place in the audience by emailing info@turnersims.co.uk
The show is produced by Pozzitive Television, a company that specialises in scripted comedy and entertainment. Their shows include Victoria Wood’s “dinnerladies” and a lot of Steve Coogan鈥檚 work (like the “Paul & Pauline Calf Video Diaries” and “Coogan’s Run”). In radio terms, they produce shows for BBC Radio 4 like “Cabin Pressure”, “Armando Iannucci鈥檚 Charm Offensive”, “Another Case Of Milton Jones” and “Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off” to name a few.
