St Edmund Hall, however, mounted a comeback of their own and took a 5 point lead with under a minute remaining. However, Campbell Hewson (Edinburgh) correctly answered the difficult ensuing starter question, identifying that the first three letters of the birthplace of William Gladstone, Beryl Bainbridge and Wayne Rooney (LIV of Liverpool) equalled 54 when spelt using roman numerals, to give Edinburgh a 5 point lead of their own. Edinburgh then successfully answered two bonus questions and allowed the clock to run down sufficiently to snatch victory.The trophy and title were awarded to the University of Edinburgh team comprising Matt Booth, Marco Malus\u00e0, Max Fitz-James and Robbie Campbell Hewson.The Edinburgh team are the first Scottish champions in the Paxman era and the first since 1983.The trophy was presented by Sebastian Faulks.Spin-off: Christmas Special 2018[edit]First round[edit]Each year, a Christmas special sequence is aired featuring distinguished alumni.
