In each case the members are listed as viewed left to right. Consequently the team captain is the third name listed.
The 2016 champions, Peterhouse, Cambridge, consisted of three historians and a geologist, only the second time (after 1979) that there have been three winning contestants studying the same subject. Their appearance continues a tradition of winning historians, comfortably the top subject studied by series champions, with (up to and including the 2024 series) 39 historians having taken the trophy. A distant second is English with 25, followed by Mathematics (19) and Classics (15).
Soon after the 2016 final, The Guardian ran a brief article on how many women have won the series, presumably based entirely on the contents of this page.
