I LOVED the quiz Britain's Brainiest Teacher .

The top 12 contestants were whittled down from thousands of applicants, and a great character won.

I was amazed at their chosen subjects, which included The Simpsons, 60's no 1 hits, Glam Rock, Carry On films and British racecourses.

Not exactly highfalutin specialist subjects, but at least they show that teachers have a life away from the classroom.

The questions weren't all that tough, but then again they're only easy if you know the answer.

I wouldn't say the winner deserves the brainiest teacher in Britain title, just the bravest under stress. However, he was a good laugh and a good ad for the profession.

It was one of the best quiz shows I've seen in a long time. Roll on Britain's brainiest nurse, policeman, etc.
