The BBC has been accused of elitism over its 'rigged' University Challenge rules which treat non-Oxbridge universities as 'second class.'

The show's rules allow separate colleges from Oxford and Cambridge to enter while limiting all other universities to one team each.

The quiz show is in its 52nd series, with eight of its 28 teams from Oxford or Cambridge colleges.
