University Challenge student panics and blurts out 'whore'

Here’s the thing though. HE WAS RIGHT.

THIS JUST GOES to show, confidence is key. Even on University Challenge, with the studio lights beaming down and Jeremy Paxman glaring at you and all your classmates willing you to get it right.

The sad thing is, he was exactly right. A short word for frost formed from freezing fog is ‘hoar’.

Don’t worry, Perriam. You’re a bit of a dish. You’ll bounce back.
