A challenge too far?
It seems that today is the day when we find out officially how our brave representatives fared under the withering gaze of Jeremy Paxman in a special edition of University Challenge. The Team of four AMs, Nick Bourne, Eleanor Burnham, Jocelyn Davies and Huw Lewis are going head to head with an all party team of MSPs. Although the programme was filmed before the publication of the Richard Commission Report into the powers of the Assembly it will be interesting to see if there are any questions on Primary Law-making powers. I suspect that u-turns will not be on this programme's agenda even though they are flavour of the week in the Assembly.
Update: OK, so the Welsh Assembly lost but 70 points to the Scottish Parliament's 115 was fairly respectable.
