A Jewish student was left smiling after his University Challenge team defeated their rivals by more than double points to win a place in the next round of the contest.
Jonathan Metzer was part of the Worcester College, Oxford team, which was one of four losing teams in the first round to achieve a high enough score for a special playoff.
The 19-year-old from Willesden Green helped his team see off St Andrews University with answers on Abbey Road Studios and the 2010 coalition agreement.
The Oxford team outdid their first-round score of 180, gaining 250 points to St Andrews’ 110.
