After watching the latest episode, BBC viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about the new revived series. <\/p>\n

One fan wrote: "I am so disappointed that after years of enjoying #universitychallenge I am giving it up. <\/p>\n

"Amol Rajan is awful. He speaks way too fast and mumbles way too much. So sad he's ruined a previously great show."<\/p>\n

A fourth wrote: "I've been watching it on mute and with subtitles. Makes him much easier to manage."<\/p>\n

A fifth added: "Totally agree with you. Cannot understand a word he says. He is not my starter for Ten."<\/p>\n
