💬 'Quizzing royalty' 💬 'Very generous and encouraging' ⬇️ University Challenge contestants pay tribute to Jeremy Paxman ahead of his final appearance as the show's presenter
Bobby Seagull, who shot to fame after appearing as captain of Cambridge’s Emmanuel College in 2017, said Mr Paxman’s departure was “the end of an era”.“The first time I met him I remember being in awe, in the sense that this is quizzing royalty.
“Having conversations with him before the match, and afterwards in the green room, he had a great sense of respect for students that put themselves out there for a show that’s ultimately just about academic knowledge. “Bamber Gasgoigne came across as more like a schoolmaster, someone that’s a bit more on your side, bit more affable,” he said.
