The trophy and title were awarded to the Christ Church team of Alex Bubb, Charles Markland, Max Kaufman, and Susannah Darby. The trophy was presented by Joan Bakewell. In March 2009, it was revealed that Charles Markland, a member of the winning team from Christ Church, Oxford, had transferred his studies to Balliol College halfway through the series. He claimed that his team captain had contacted a researcher concerning the situation, and had been told that this was not a problem and that the same team should be maintained for continuity purposes.
