Definitely the lowest combined score for awhile, right? Both teams seemed to have a lot of "pass" answers, or at least more than a normal match. Also, the music round w/ the song from the same year took f o r e v e r. That right there ate up a lot of the clock.
Why did two of the Bristol team feel the need to explain that they currently, do indeed live in Bristol? I think that's rather obvious from one's enrolment at the university...
You sir, are a mystic! A magician! If we were in anything less than the 16th century, you'd be burned at the stake for witchcraft! Many, many thanks. :-)
Amazingly weak teams and ironically the winning score of 140 will be lower than the usual 150 required for the highest scoring losers to playoff for R2! Both took way too much time to wrongly answer the bonuses Lol Total questions a paltry 15 + 2 misses. Bristol 9 starters: Iredale 5 and Basu 4 (incl. 2 Indian refs 'White Tiger' and 'Sanskrit.') Bonus conversion rate a lowly 48%. Queen's-Belfast 6 starters: Hooton 4 and Breen 2. Bcr 61%. Q-B Breen should have been penalized 5 points for an incorrect interruption at 26:40 same as Bristol's Sumner?!?
ITubaUTuba Hopefully not. This year's lot are coming off as under par though I'm guessing its undeserved and more to do with the question setters and buzzer 'skills'.
ec06aaj I'd ask when you're going to say the same under your real name but cowards don't, so I'm not holding my breath Lol Your comment seems personal, so I'm guessing u 'starred' in one of my videos ROFL
ITubaUTuba Your point about the 2nd team not getting ahead of the 1st therefore no penalty seemed the obvious reason to me as well, then I thought of all the looooong bonus questions everyone has to listen to even though they're impatient to give the answer, indicating that for the sake of the show and the viewers, questions must be heard in their entirety, hence my reason for asking about Breens unnecessarily incorrect interruption. I remember Paxman actually scolding teams who interrupted bonus questions too! No worries. Just thought I'd put it out there. Tks!
