In 2010, Scott and the Technical Difficulties troupe began the "Reverse Trivia Podcast" series on the Technical Difficulties website wherein Scott would read the answer to a 1984 trivia question card while his fellow panellists attempted to guess the question. He captained the Hitchhikers in series 3 of BBC Four's Only Connect in 2010 but was knocked out by the Strategists in the semi-finals, and, in 2012, was a presenter in the Sky 1 series Gadget Geeks alongside Colin Furze and Creative Technologist Charles Yarnold, where he was responsible for the creation of software solutions. Īfter graduating, Scott made several appearances on British television shows both as a contestant and presenter. The show later won the Kevin Greening award at the Student Radio Awards.
That same year, Scott and three friends formed comedy troupe The Technical Difficulties, with whom he hosted a radio show of the same name on University Radio York.
When he was on the podcast Corridor Cast, he said that it was terrible as he did not know what to do, so his team would fill in for him. Despite running as a joke, he won the election and served as the organisation's 48th president. In 2009, Scott became the UK organiser of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and was subsequently nominated by his friends to run for student president at the University of York Students' Union, under the guise of his Talk Like a Pirate Day persona, "Mad Cap'n Tom Scott".
This resulted in the Cabinet Office demanding the site be taken down Scott sent a "polite response declining to take down the site" as of September 2022, the site is still live. While at university, in 2004, Scott produced a website parodying the British government's " Preparing for Emergencies" website, including a section explaining what to do in case of a zombie apocalypse. Originally from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, Scott graduated from the University of York with a degree in linguistics.
