Leonard on University Challenge

Post by hydriot »

Leonard was the answer to one of the questions in the final of University Challenge last night. The team got the answer to 'famous Canadian' wrong, guessing Neil Young.
“If you do have love it's a kind of wound, and if you don't have it it's worse.” - Leonard, July 1988
