On last nights University Challenge, the Birmingham University captain - Cheema from the Punjab, struggling to come up with the name of a sixties film from which a piece of jazz came, blurted out “A Blanket in my Muesli!” (which is of course the name that Mighty Baby gave to their jam at Glastonbury immortalised on the rare triple album). He even silenced Paxman for a moment. The Brummies won, so in future programmes look out for answers like “Uncle Harry’s last Freak Out!” when he’s flummoxed by a question on Chaucer, or coy references to “Quark, Strangeness and Charm” when he’s struggling with a quantum physics round.
