This took place well before Sinha joined "The Chase", which was only in 2011. He was pretty good here but I think he has raised his game a lot. University Challenge is usually fairly fast-paced but this episode seemed to run on steroids; Paxman is definitely a lot more sedate these days.
This was apparently the inspiration for Sinha taking quizzing more seriously. A couple of comments including Paxman's at the end about them being good sports for taking part supposedly irked him enough to start practicing and competing properly in quiz tournaments.
Paul Sinha, top bloke.
This took so long to get started I nearly lost the will to live.........................

5:30 is the actual start after the preramble.

The level of the quiz was really high...

cool to see Paul Sinha on this
Paxman has slowed down a lot these days.
Ex Essex hes 70
Natalie Haynes is awesome, her « stands up for the classics » on bbc sounds is the best and funniest thing about Ancient Greece.
Indeed, but she was square root of useless here. Contributed nothing, despite half a dozen questions that had classical roots.
Good video
Is Sinha one of the chasers on The Chaser?
Yep, his nickname is The Sinner, Paul Sinha
sooooo many mistakes in one post. 😂😂
Timbuck618 nope, his nicknames the sinnerman
Nope he’s a chaser on the chase
Paul can't get over 20 in a row, in this game
Some of these misses are quite poor, Kaliningrad is basic stuff and Wind in the Willows was fairly easy too.
240....really 240 in 2021 one would have thought 720 is the absolute minimum for uploads.....Unbelievable....
Natalie was dead-weight!
Over five minutes was wasted on the teams introducing themselves. What a bore.
Paxman really is an unpleasant sort ! I stopped watching before the end. He really is obnoxious.
Don't feel threatened by everything efficient. It is not an indictment of how you choose to live your life.
@@araucariapasquale1No but he is rather condescending though isn’t he? He has always been that way
@@terrortower666 oh he's harmless. Everyone knows he is just a little gruff, but a softie really.
Bring back Bamber Gascoigne! Jeremy Paxman is an insufferable prat!
Bit difficult. He is dead.
