The University of East Anglia is taking on the Open University in tonight's episode of University Challenge. 

The UEA team,  made up of Melissa Shiress, Bryony Yates, Owen Tobin and Matthew Jennings, will be competing in the second round.  

In a Radio Norfolk interview, Bryony said: "It's amazing, I've loved University Challenge ever since I was in school and to sit in the studio was a surreal experience."

It will be the second time the team of four has been on the show this series after a commanding victory over the University of Strathclyde in the first-round match.

The UEA team scored 235 points in the last match and will hope to repeat their success tonight to secure their place in the quarter-final. 

The show will air at 8.30pm tonight on BBC Two and the questions are being asked by Amol Rajan.

It comes after Viraj Seelam, a BA Film and Television Production student at UEA, was declared a "boy wonder" after winning the show last week with a score of 113 points.
