TRIVIA:

This was Stephen Fry's second of three appearances on University Challenge. He appeared in 1979 with his university team. In 1993 a special episode was recorded featuring a current college team versus an team of celebrities who had competed with their university teams.

Bambi is a reference to University Challenge host Bamber Gascoigne whom Griff Rhys Jones is impersonating. Griff also impersonated Bamber on Not the 9:00 News.

On an episode of University Challenge, a contestant stumped for an answer responded "Toxteth O'Grady, U.S.A." causing the whole audience to collapse in laughter.
