University Challenge s28e16

A play-off between the highest losers of the first round matches, featuring City University and Balliol College, Oxford. Transmitted 5 January 1999.
I've left in the trailers before and after - includes an interesting Newsnight promo before, and a trailer for the first episode of the League of Gentlemen from 30:11.

Is it me or are all these questions a lot easier than the questions nowadays

[@WildXstElementZ]

Yes. It’s ironic since people are actually getting less intelligent

Why is Paxman being so urgent with 2 or 3 minutes to go? City were CLEARLY too far behind to catch up at that stage.

[@uchai3016]

Are you sure? Paxman made the game more interesting for us. City were to far behind, but the game still go on. That what we want. I feel so boring when UC pace now are so slow. I hope Paxman or new quizmaster make the game faster like before. Yeah, the good old day.

People being so sensitive nowadays, probably there have been complaints, leading to a slower pace.
