This evening a group of chums and I will be gathered round the TV [post-barbecue if the weather holds] cheering on my ex-housemate Lisa as she adds to the collective intellect of the fifty-strong “Rocket Scientists” team on Test the Nation, pitting her wits against teams of other professions and trying hard not to whither under the glare of Anne Robinson. In a fit of stereotyping, the BBC have decreed that the scientists must all wear lab coats, completely ruining any opportunity to show that not all physicists are geeks. [Just most of them.] I just hope this policy doesn’t also mean that the team of plumbers will have to sit with their cracks showing…
Update: Well done to Lisa and her cohorts, coming in joint first place with the team of paramedics. Our home team of eight scored 60 out of 70. Adding the bizarre adjustment according to our age group, we got 69 out of 70. We rock.
