The first regular episode after the Christmas season special, which may or may not be uploaded (I'm still thinking on it), we have St Peter's College Oxford against Selwyn College Cambridge. Original air date 5.1.2015
I am willing to place a bet that St. Peter's only thought they needed three players and when they found out it was four they grabbed Armitage from the audience.
His main function is to look posh and his secondary function is to sound posh because considering he's from Lancaster while everyone else on St. Peter's is from the South (Roberts and Trueblood are from Londoners and Smith is from Maidenhead in Berkshire), he's the only one to pronounce "mathematics" properly since Smith doesn't pronounce the "e".
Mr Armitage is very good at wearing a suit. Obviously just what the team needed at that time. Also shaking his head when asked if he had an answer. Really useful.
yaorito1 It is worthwhile saying that I couldn't have a grumble unless you posted these in the first instance, so many thanks, and keep up the great work! :-D
I don't know how the year ended--that was 2015 and this is 2021--because I haven't gotten that far yet in viewing every episode, but I'm hoping that St. Peter's-Oxford and the University of Durham ended up being the winners of the top two spots.
If I was sitting beside Trueblood, I'd tell him to stop fiddling with his clothes - how utterly off-putting it must be - just put your arms on the bloody desk, boy!
