‘I hope you don't expect us to win': rival Irish University Challenge captains join forces for a fiendish pub quiz
Oscar Despard and Kevin Flanagan were recent opponents on a semi-final of the long-running BBC show. Louise McLoughlin takes them to a London pub to see how they fare with a less academic test I've never been great at pub quizzes. So the opportunity to team up with two of Ireland's best and brightest minds promised some vindication – even if only as part of a team. On a personal level, a friend had suggested beforehand that the experience had the potential to be humiliating. I suggested 'humbling' was perhaps a better word. A win is a win, after all. In all honesty, I expected my contribution to be minimal. The two other members of my team were Dubliners Oscar Despard (22) from Portobello and Kevin Flanagan (29) from Dundrum, who recently went head-to-head in the semi-finals of University Challenge. Despard, who is studying for a PhD in molecular biology, went on to lead Christ's College Cambridge to its first ever victory on the show, winning a tense final by just five points. Flanagan captained the team from Bristol University, where he is doing a PhD in AI.

Today's top TV and streaming choices: A Bruce Springsteen evening, House of Gucci and Bono's Stories of Surrender
Pick of the week: Bruce Springsteen Night BBC Two, from 8.30pm Here's a treat for fans of 'the Boss' – an entire evening dedicated to the man himself and his amazing songs. It begins with Bruce Springsteen at the BBC, a delve into the broadcaster's archive for clips featuring the performer in action. It's followed at 9.30pm by arguably the programme of the night – When Bruce Springsteen Came to Britain, a brand-new documentary exploring his first tour on this side of the Atlantic. Springsteen was just 26 when he arrived in London in November 1975 for sold-out performances at the Hammersmith Odeon, during which he played tracks from his then new album Born to Run. However, in an interview recorded for the programme, he reveals how disappointed he was – with himself: 'I went to a party that was supposed to celebrate my triumph, but I felt I'd been terrible and so I was embarrassed to even go in... I had PTSD from the first Hammersmith show!' Celebrity fans Michael Palin, Rob Brydon, Sting and Peter Gabriel, as well as E Street Band member Stevie Van Zandt, are on hand to offer their opinions. Afterwards, at 10.35pm, there's a chance to see the gig itself ahead of Bruce Springsteen: A Secret History at 12.45am, in which the Boss can once again be heard discussing his life and career. Finally, the night ends with Blinded by the Light at 1.45am, which charts the teen years of an avid fan. Returning to Silence RTÉ One, 5.30pm Comedian Tommy Tiernan and Myozan Kodo Kilroy, a priest at the Dublin Zen Centre, discuss the benefits of Zen Buddhist meditation, revealing how it has given their lives a positive boost, awakening an inner peace crucial to their wellbeing. Britain's Got Talent: Live Final Virgin Media One, 7pm It's time to find out who will be this year's winner. But first, those remaining in the competition perform once again in front of the judges including Alesha Dixon, each desperate to win the cash prize and a chance to appear at the Royal Variety Performance. RTÉ2, 7pm ADVERTISEMENT We're off to the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, for the final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan. PSG's one and only previous appearance in the showpiece match came in 2020, when they lost to Bayern Munich. Can they finally lift the trophy, or will three-time winners Inter prove too strong? House of Gucci RTÉ One, 9.20pm Ridley Scott's outlandish true-life drama focuses on the marriage between the fashion house's heir and an ambitious woman from humble origins. It begins as a love story, but spirals into disaster. Lady Gaga, Adam Driver and Al Pacino star. The Blues Brothers TG4, 9.40pm Star-studded comedy with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as criminal siblings who reform their old band and hit the road in the hope of raising the money needed to save the orphanage where they grew up. However, chaos follows them everywhere they go. Dept. Q Netflix, streaming now DCI Carl Morck may be an excellent investigator, but there's no hiding from the fact that he's a terrible co-worker. There's the small matter of his scathing sarcasm, which has left him without a single friend in the Edinburgh police force. Then there's the rather more serious issue of him having fatally shot a young officer and permanently injured his partner. Unsurprisingly enough, following this tragic turn of events, Morck is relegated to Department Q: a cold-case unit which was created as a publicity stunt. Although the force is thrilled to see Carl go, he soon sets about assembling a group of outcasts who are all keen to prove themselves. Yes, it does sound a bit like Slow Horses, which is quite the gauntlet for Netflix to throw. Only time will tell if it's worthy of comparison. With yer man from Leap Year (Matthew Goode) essentially playing a hybrid of Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb and Jack Lowden's River Cartwright, I wouldn't hold my breath. Bono: Stories of Surrender Apple TV+, streaming now Behold Bono's one-man stage show, exploring the personal experiences that have shaped him as a son, father, husband and activist.
