Format

Two families, consisting of three family members, played a strategic board game with the moves dependent on correct answers to a wide variety of questions, put by Dr. Sue Kingsman of Trinity College, Oxford. The winners of the board game go on to play a computer game for prizes.[1] The prize consisted of record and book tokens, and the winning family then took on a new family until they were beaten.

The series was won by The Chiappino family from Southampton, and as there was never a second series commissioned, are the reigning champions.

gollark: https://github.com/drhagen/parsita is a Python library I found which looks okay and apparently does those.
gollark: As I said, I generally favour parser combinators for complex parsing tasks.
gollark: Regular expressions, strictly, can only parse regular languages. I don't know exactly how that's defined, but it may not include your chemical formula notation. It probably can be done using the fancy not-actually-regular expressions most programming languages support, but it might be quite eldritch to make it work right.
gollark: I'm not sure if this is a problem actual regexes (I mean, most programming languages have not-regexes with backreferences and other things) can solve, actually?
gollark: Oh, just formulae, not names? That's much easier!
