University Challenge S46E07 Imperial vs Balliol-Oxford 

They went on to WIN the series.

Thanks for the spoiler

I watched the final episode before this. At first I was like: "WTF is this the series's fucking winner?"... 😕 And then : "Holy shit..." 😓 "This is beyond science" 😨 "K, I'm convinced now" 😒

No, of course, not. He's clearly lying and we're glad you know something so personal about him which he himself doesn't know.

They’re all put in studio make up beforehand

They asked for an entire name. Swift could've been anyone. The last name she shares with Jonathan Swift and her first name with Elizabeth Taylor. Usually when asked "who did so and so" surnames are enough, but when the question specifically describes their name, the entire name is required.

please don't.

Is that American English for subtitles? There are a good many viewers of UC on RU-vid who are not native speakers of English (excl. myself), which is why one may in comments see how they greatly appreciate it. Don't know how difficult it is to add subtitles, however.

Agree but the old formula that one's home country is also the country of one's mother tongue and the culture within which one has grown up and therefore identifies with, is invalid in very many cases.

Yeah... And Imperial's lack of knowledge is sometimes quite exasperating. Post-war chancellor of Germany? (Well, I admit it's something I know a somewhat better) It's a little shame because I really like the last Imperial team. I think this the previously dominant teams are getting eliminated early this series.

Yeh! Manchester was pretty dreadful this year and Oxbridge teams are doing well. Imperial teams are always quite well-rounded and a likable bunch. I find that Scientists can be incredibly well-informed on Arts and Culture..while Humanities students are mostly rather ignorant on the Sciences.

aortablue true - I'm a PhD candidate in political theory but I'm absolutely useless in anything science related. I just don't understand it, and I honestly haven't had any classes in maths and/or science since I was 17.

What do you think is the main reason that a university of 30000 students cannot find a better team than a college of a few hundreds? Whatever the answers, it's a sign that the country continues in the trend of increasing inequality for at least another 50 years. These Imperial kids will become doctors, engineers, and scientists earning decent but relatively low wages. The Oriel kids will be writers, tv presenters, bankers, journalists, lawyers, politicians, making millions.

***** ...Imperial College is quite a prestigious institution...Probably on par with Oxbridge in STEM subjects, which is what Imperial focuses on. To attribute Imperial's loss to inequality (you have zero evidence) is just playing politics

The 13 -16 year old frustrated teenager demographic

Yeah, because the question specifically says 'shares a surname' and then goes on to describe the first name. So yeah, both are required.

@@benjaminpike Ah whoops. I'll have to rewatch the episode to check what I was smoking.

@@sebastian-benedictflore Ahaha fair enough, I'm not sure what I'm doing commenting on 4 year old episodes of Uni Challenge any way

nice euphemism, laddie.

@@tbwatch88 how are your mother's?

Frustrated 13-16 year olds ...

Ballantyne Moyes As a college sophomore, for the most part, I listen to classical music while I study, but it's passive and it's on the radio so I don't associate the composer with the piece. I can tell you if I've heard a piece before or not, but I can't tell you who the composer is most of the time, let alone what it is called.

Christian: Thank you for your response. At least you are listening to such music. It's a bit like me with the popular music of today - I can recognise the tune but often have no idea of the artist and, indeed, when I see some names written, I don't know how to pronounce them as many radio stations just play the song as if everybody is in on the secret of who is singing/playing. :-)

Ballantyne Moyes In a way, I relate to that too. Today I just got back from driving around with my friends, and they were playing these songs that they all knew word-for-word, but I hadn't heard them before. I guess my music taste of classic rock, showtunes, and jazz is too eclectic in company.

Have since boyhood been keen mainly on classical music but (call me a barbarian if you will) have hardly ever been able to say who composed the pieces (incl. favourites), even less what the particular piece was called. It's simply of no interest to me.

@@garygramm6533 She is someone's sister or daughter.

@@gordygibson8776 Jesus Christ, dude. I said she was gorgeous, that's all. If you think that's going to offend her brother or parents, then maybe you're the one who needs to grow up. Peace.

@Fred W ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iGLh9hRmRcM.html !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE IMPERIAL'S PERFORMANCE WAS UNACCEPTABEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Is there more than one Imperial team in one season of UC?

first performance on tv. Probably very nervous and you can see him visibly grow more confident as the episode progresses.

Nominate you for a loner award, what a wanker, do fuck off with your childish comments..
