Person of the Week - Gail Trimble

A week ago no one had heard of her except the followers of University Challenge . She led her team, Corpus Christie Oxford to win the series. There then followed some rather unpleasant comments about her which I thought were totally out of order. I think it is great she has managed to lead that team and amass the amount of knowledge that I think gave her the all time highest tally of point in the series. The funny thing about this story is that a men's magazine called Nutz contacted her brother ( I don't know how they knew how to do that ) and asked him to provide them with her email address so they could contact her to discuss being in their magazine - which was promised to be 'tasteful'. He declined.
