Sort of warms my heart that I am an American yelling at my computer screen "Asquith! Asquith!" Luck, I know, but thank you for Dreaming for delusions of IQ!
I did the same thing, but only because I've watched every episode of UC I could lay my hands on, and Asquith is a reasonably popular person to base questions on.

Entertaining. Beyond a certain age it takes some fortitude to stick your head above the parapet in public for others to mock and critisize. We know that we know (knew) the answers but it only surfaces when we wake up in the morning. Thank you all.
I don't think of myself as a cultural snob, but when absolutely noone identified John Rutter in the music round, I threw up my nose in disgust. Neanderthals I say! Neanderthals! 🙃
