Starter for Ten (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Starter for Ten by David Nicholls is a novel first published in 2003 about Brian Jackson in his first year of university (1985–6), his attempts to get on the Granada Television quiz show University Challenge, and his tentative attempts at romance with Alice Harbinson, another member of the University Challenge team. The title is taken from an opening question to a round on said quiz show worth ten points, known as the teams' 'starter for ten'.
It was adapted as a film in 2006 - see Starter for Ten (film).
