anyone else notice the time on mr paxman's watch?? specifically: it was 3:30 when the show started and he introduced warwick, but 4:15 when he introduced exeter!!!
I'm an old fart, with memory problems, but I do recall watching these way back with Bamber Gascoigne, and surprising myself with how much I could answer... but now, hey Paxman is a great host, but I find I am unable to answer ANY.... thank you for this mein host, I will enjoy watching the rest, I will enjoy realising how stupid I am now..... genuine thanks. :)
Marat and David questions return again in UC. Hannah Woods and team had a similar set a couple of years ago - not that I remember because I have a bit of a crush on her... (slinks out)...
David went to Monkman's team S46. Posted link in my comment above as quite funny :) Don't remember much of Woods coz Powell was soooooo distracting! He was quite 'normal' on Only Connect though. Wondering if it was just a stunt ... it worked!
Adam Walker. Durham Harmonics is here! And, yes, you know what I'm gonna say about Exeter... Obviously, they should not be allowed to re-appear as highest scoring losers for introducing themselves by their first names only ha ha ha ha! (See my post!) Good series so far though.
It's such a difference when you come from the S47 finals video. This was quite a disappointing round, also they all look like high school students, wth? 😳
Thanks! * Nice ref there to Bamber Gascoigne( 17:14), the original presenter of University Challenge from 1962. * S46 Monkman & team didn't know David's 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps' (06:00 above) in this funny clip :P ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XaPxYkfDGkg.html * Easy flag question decider at the end as Rwanda is the only African country beg with 'R' Lol
This wasn‘t a Warwick win. This was more a Beardsley win. His Collegues were kinda useless and not that helpful tbh. They got lucky a few times but it was all Beardsley that knew his stuff. Congratulations to Beardsley here
Everyone, see how beautifully Mr Sartori introduces himself including his surname (even if you can't make out his first name)?! Contestants should be disqualified if they introduce themselves using only their first names! Mind you, try not to completely cock-up saying your full name like Mr Al Masri on the Leicester team (S44E09)! Watch him and try not to laugh your head off!
Exeter University should not be allowed to return as a 'highest scoring losing team' because they introduced themselves using first names only ha ha ha ha! FFS, will somebody on University Challenge please bring in a rule to disqualify contestants/teams if they only give first name introductions?! It's really irritating and not cool at all! Contestants, say your bloody surnames! Merci beaucoup.
Ah, Durham Harmonics. Exeter shouldn't return? Even with Jessica on their side? Speaking of Jessica, is there anyone you see as being like Stone from last year (i.e. loathed by Sandroid but adored by you)?
Adam Walker. No question that Exeter should have been disqualified outright as soon as they gave only their first names, even with Jessica on their side ha ha ha ha! There'll never be another Stone!! : )
Durham Harmonics Not now, but there may be as time goes by. I feel like you're going to hate this year and the next, because next year everyone will do the first name intros while more people are going to do it this year.
Adam Walker. I fear you may be correct about that! If first name introductions continue to increase I will, sadly, stop watching University Challenge - unless Stone makes a re-appearance ha ha!
