Odd comment of the day - I really enjoyed the first set of questions 😀 Obvious when you heard the answer, but just obscure enough to make me think a bit.
Thank you! This was rather enjoyable. Some of the questions not in my wheelhouse I still knew or recognised. The BBC could make this edition a more regular occurrence.
The normal student University challenge was filmed between February and May (if i recall) when Covid was higher. The christmas University Challenge was filmed a month or two ago ish
Ha! Good observation. I didn't notice it. So hopefully next year's students' version will be screenless. (However without Paxman, who, for all his faults, will be missed. So this in essence, is the last 'normal' set of episodes with Paxman.)
@@helenswan705 The next presenter was a disaster on his appearance on UC Christmas edition 2020. I do hope he's better at presenting compared to answering.
Whilst it's great to see the subtitles, and I thank you profusely for that. However, they do seem a little bit untidy. Otherwise, well done for putting this show on the road...
@@tybaltmacbeth I made a point of expanding my knowledge in different fields as I refused to become an expert. My first degree was in English and History. Then I joined the army. After being invalided out I gained a degree in Linguistics and then, by distance, in Law, followed by, at the age of 45, a PhD in Education. Not one of my qualifications has been of any direct practical help in my life, but they were all worth pursuing since my education taught me how to learn and how to apply knowledge. I retired 4 years ago at the age of 50 after a relatively short, but lucrative, career working for myself. My only regret is that I failed to pursue an interest in Anthropology. Maybe when things get back to normal I shall look into that.
@@reign3864 Yeah, I know. I sound like a geezer, but not quite a grandpa.. My biggest problem in recent times was having to correct the errors made by my kids' teachers, and we are talking about teachers at private schools who are supposedly among the elite.
