EVERY EPISODE OF University Challenge needs a hero and tonight’s was a young Canadian man named Eric Monkman of Wolfson Cambridge.
Monkman got off to a flying start with his exuberant introduction…
And he didn’t disappoint, delivering each and every answer with his signature vigour
“Stephen!”

EPISCOPALIAN!
The heartbreak on his face when he got this question wrong

Even his goodbye was entertaining!
Greatest sign off in television history. The Monkman is a real superhero. Goodbye Monkman....goodbye! #themonkman pic.twitter.com/52LW5zayeS

Many viewers noticed a slight similarity between Monkman and Corrie’s Roy Cropper.
Stick a pair of glasses on Roy and they’re they spit of each other.
Whoops!

Uncanny, tbh.
(There was also a bang of Dwight Schrute off him, if you ask us.)
In the end, Wolfson Cambridge slightly edged out SOAS to win…
But the evening’s real winner was Monkman.
Whoops!

See you in the next round, Eric!
