Series 46 of University Challenge began on 11 July 2016 on BBC Two, and is due to finish on 10 April 2017. This series of the long running quiz show has drawn larger audiences than usual thanks to a collection of interesting characters, most notably Eric Monkman from Wolfson College, Cambridge who has been described on Twitter by many viewers as "the most intense contestant ever".
