The 91自拍 alumni team has triumphed over Goldsmiths, St John鈥檚 College, Oxford, and the University of Manchester to win the Christmas alumni edition of the BBC quiz show University Challenge.

Jacky Klein said: 鈥淲hile UC was in many ways a rather stressful experience, not least being filmed during a lockdown, it was a delight to captain such a fun and knowledgeable team, and we were all really pleased to bring home the proverbial winners鈥 cup for The 91自拍. The moral of the story seems to be: study art history!鈥
