I’m Michael Hogan, the Telegraph’s Student Superbrain & Dodgy Knitwear Correspondent, and I’ll be live-blogging the build-up to tonight’s 45th grand final, rolling reaction throughout the show and post-match analysis.

So please watch along with me and join in - you can email your thoughts to michael.hogan@telegraph.co.uk or tweet me @michaelhogan. I’ll keep an eye on your comments and report the highlights here.

After nine months, 37 episodes and thousands of fiendish questions, we’ve reached the showpiece of this year’s quizathon and it finds those ancient academic foes renewing their cerebral rivalry. Peterhouse from Cambridge University take on St John’s College, Oxford for the coveted title.

The Peterhouse team have become cult favourites among fans, with their captain Hannah Woods' eyebrows and the expressive face of her team-mate Oscar Powell winning hearts on sofas and attracting copious comment online. Can they make it the third consecutive title for Cambridge?

Standing in their way are St John’s, captained by Angus Russell, who are marginal favourites according to the stats - they’ve scored better than Peterhouse in every round so far.

The final is pre-recorded and both teams will be watching in their colleges with friends, but the result is kept a closely-guarded secret. Staying tight-lipped (and arch-eyebrowed), Hannah Woods says: "Whatever the outcome, I imagine we’ll finish the night propping up the college bar.”

Angus Russell adds: "It was all recorded quite a while ago,so it’s been a bit strange not being able to tell anyone about it. In some ways, it’ll actually be nice to watch it next year with no idea of what’s going to happen and no pressure about appearing.”

It’s crunch time at 8pm on BBC Two but stay with us for build-up. With stakes high and pencils sharpened, it promises to be a close-fought contest. Bzzz! We’ll have to hurry you…
