Seriously impressive librarians!
We did.. My bet beforehand was 3 to 2 on OUP team on the grounds that OED people would know the meaning of more words than the BL team. BL team leader in the red shirt (a Mr Smith) was the only one to declare he was a librarian.  Can't discover if he's a CILIP member, but if not he should be given an honorary life membership and a medal.
Programme tended to justify my frequent assertion that any good librarian should be able to talk with absolute certainty on anything for six seconds and outstanding ones for longer and with pinpoint accuracy.

I don't how many people watched The British Library team win The Final of University Challenge's Professionals contest on BBC2 last night but I for one was seriously impressed by their knowledge, speed and teamwork!
