Tom Stevenson was referenced in a question on The Chase. Not strictly "on other quizzes", more "as other quizzes".
What was the question?
In 2022, university student Tom Stevenson scored a record 154 points on what TV show, not losing a single round?
A Mastermind
B Countdown
C University Challenge
Thanks. No idea.

Yes
I liked that the other two could be ruled out. One being impossible (not ending in 5 or 0) and the other simply not having the time to amass the points.

Kirk was on Eggheads today. Not sure if a repeat, but the value was a lot higher than Lauren/Aidan's show last week so I presume it was.

It seems a bit of a weird question. Like they conflated Colin's obsession with him not losing a round over his 8 games with his single game record score. I mean, he obviously didn't lose a round in that game but it's hardly a surprise and not something you'd normally bring up.

Yeh - I think if you somehow managed 154 without scoring every round that would be somewhat amazing

Zarte got 150 despite that prick taking a round off him!

Haven't seen it yet - but I'm rooting for my mate Jack (who also knows Sam C-L so is pretty well connected to countdown!)
