I already mentioned University Challenge, so I'll mention Mastermind too. There was a gentlemen on the show last week, George Twigg, who claims to have been on Mastermind, Only Connect and University Challenge. He also claimed this is called the Quizzy Monday Hat-trick. Is that a real thing? Did he really achieve it? How common is that? Is he unique?=

I think its more of an unofficial strand than anything else, though I wouldn't be surprised if it had its roots in Mastermind and University Challenge, before they stuck Only Connect there (OC aired on Fridays for a time for some reason I can't remember why, and then was shifted back to the Monday again. They have moved it on occasion or dropped it for some other stuff on Monday though).
