How have we ended up in a world where Bobby Seagull is a University Challenge captain and not a southern lawyer in a Coen brothers film?

"Look at #Seagull's face when they ask a question." "He's thinking about chips." Got a laugh. Still not bored. #UniversityChallenge

Now, we wait for his next move

Bobby Seagull Investigates. I'd watch that! Ward could be his bookish secretary who helps out at the homeless shelter. #UniversityChallenge
