Monday 11th November BBC Radio 4’s quiz show, The 3rd Degree.
Our very own Dr Sarah John will be one of the academics competing in the program as a team of academics and students from Kent pit their wits against each other.
The recording will take place at Darwin Conference Suite, Canterbury campus. Places in the audience are available for students and staff, with seats allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors will open at 5.30pm, for a 6pm start.
Whilst the show will have all the rigour of a formal quiz, with questions and scoring approached in serious fashion, there will also be a lighthearted and witty angle, as the students attempt to get one over on their more learned opponents. The 3rd Degree is hosted by comedian, Steve Punt, known for ‘The Now Show’ and ‘Horrible Histories’. The 3rd Degree travels to universities around the country, and Kent is one of six venues chosen for the current series. The episode is scheduled to air on Radio 4 early next year.
