Happy Birthday to the legendary Bamber Gascoigne! Your wit and wisdom have made you a timeless icon, forever remembered as the quizmaster who could make even university professors sweat. Who else could deliver "starter for ten" with such charm that generations still imitate it at pub quizzes?

From your scholarly pursuits to authoring insightful books, you've proven brains can indeed be entertaining. May this birthday bring you joy brighter than contestants' faces when they finally got an answer right on University Challenge.

Here's hoping your celebrations are filled with laughter—and no tricky bonus questions! Cheers to another year of brilliance, Bamber!
