Yes, dearly beloved, it’s time to present the award for best performance in a broadcast quiz. What a crop of worthy nominees we have, too. They are:-
Jonathan Taylor, Jonathan Williams, Joshua
Mutio – The Strigiformes
Harry Scully, Chloe Margaux, Alex Radcliffe,
Bea Bennett – Durham University
Stuart Field
Daniel Adler
To be honest any of our nominees would be worthy recipients
of a LAMMY. The Strigiformes won Only Connect, a massive achievement which
requires great all round knowledge. The University Challenge Grand Final back
in May was a replay of the first heat of the first round, as Durham saw off a
superb Bristol team to become the champions. As I say, all of these are worthy
champions.
In April Stuart Field beat the Clark prediction that he
would be second in the Mastermind Grand Final, where a brilliant specialist
round and a fine GK round gave him the won. Now, for fairly obvious reasons I
love Mastermind, and in a normal year Stuart would be adding a LAMMY to his
trophy cabinet. But it’s not a normal year. For this is the year that this year’s
LAMMY winner –
Daniel Adler
Added the Brain of Britain title to his Counterpoint title
won a few years ago. Serial finalist Daniel is also a LAM reader and
contributor. Who could ask for more?

As for that last question, my wife might have a few ideas.
Merry Christmas, Dan!
