Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Many thanks Psi for carrying on the fine tradition of making these available for everybody!
Poor Parr-Reid really didn't enjoy that experience.
Was wondering why he was there?
Parr-Reid looks like some form of android stuck in this contest and he doesn't know anything apparently.
I love how Trinity-Oxford won with only 3 contestants
Parr-Reid is literally James Acaster's on-stage persona as an actual person
More like Bamber Gascoigne's love child?
Best match of the season so far, just nailbiting to the finish. Also, giving a music round about Hamilton to a bunch of college students in their 20s is just giving them 25 easy points.
I think Hamilton the musical was on stage in New York but it has not been on stage in the UK yet. So how did they know the answers to those questions?
There are many fans around the world who settle on just watching bootleg and pirated footage of the musical, plus they listen to the songs a lot.
In any case, that would be an easy 15 points, not 25. The starter has nothing to do with the bonus questions.
@@danielblanken4523 Except for the music round, where the starter is almost always related to the bonuses like in this case.
@@Ramboost007 yeah i know, I was messing around
Thank you for uploading this so quickly after it aired!
Love everything about the first bonus on Irish counties:
- UCL hopping round virtually every county and Cambridge college except the right one.
- "What, County Pembroke? That's in Wales, I think, isn't it?"
- UCL's reaction when told the right answer.
Thank you Psi, much appreciated!!!!!
UCL are easily the most likeable team in the competition, I'd have went for a pint with any of them

Too bad they were defeated. Then came back. And were beaten again.
parr reid looks like he doesn’t wanna be there lol
Many thanks Psi ☘️👍🏼
Read my review of the episode here: theuniversitychallengereview.tumblr.com/ And follow me on Twitter @TheUCReview (if you want to, obviously, there is no obligation)
Nobody cares.
Good game... I thought they were going to close the gap at the end, there. Don't know what the deal is with the introductions. Next, it'll be: "Asking the questions... Jeremy."
... except that he doesn't have a big sign in front of him saying "Paxman".
That's a good point. You should write to the producers with your suggestion.
thanks!
Trinity only had 3 live players on the team. The fourth ,Parr Reid , only opened his mouth twice and spent virtually all the programme looking like a drugged up robot. He was pure dead weight.
How do you drug a robot?
@@iHeartCoolStuff by short circuiting his wiring.
Simple.
Interesting how from time to time there is one of the members of a team who says virtually nothing, but is just there 'alone and palely loitering'.
Thanks psi! :)
Was also surprised that they introduced themselves by first name only!
Thanks Psi, as always, for the quick upload. As someone living in Melbourne it's great to see a fellow Melbournian in this series. Just wondering if there's a way to block Eddie Booth. Nobody wants to read his racist, homophobic dribble after every episode.
Troy: You can report him to TH-cam which is what I've just done for his comment on this page.
Fellow Australian (from Sydney) here. Wish there could be an Australian UC! As for little Eddie - don't feed the troll.
I'm now breaking my own rule and feeding the troll but here is some rare footage of Eddie:

+Elitist20 nice punch line... pretty close to what I imagined as well.
I want raii back he was great and so fun to watch
Are you Afghanistani by any chance?
Jo Do Indian most likely
hi aatmik lol
Hahahaha hello agrim
And he came back: th-cam.com/video/GcdBZt7zgfI/w-d-xo.html
Then he went off again.
Anyone knows the full list of University teams competing in the first round? No "meet the teams" album is available on the BBC website. Thanks for the upload, by the way!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_Challenge_2017-18
Only 18 teams?
I did not just watch the whole thing to see them talk about Hamilton for a minute...😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Hope Trinity isn't too smug about its 15-point win, thanks to a lazy question-setter (Thomas Benson?) who couldn't be bothered to google 'musicals based on history/historical figures' for the bonuses. (My sympathies if you were peed off coz your last check bounced or wasn't in the mail :)
Just ONE audio question yet all 25 points on the same source? It stands to reason that if a contestant knows the starter he'd know the following 3 bonus questions on the SAME current award-winning, record-breaking musical ...
Rant over ... feeling much better now!
Sandra27HK Yes, especially since the musical in question is rather new, which makes it likely that perhaps only one contestant, has seen it, and will have it fresh in mind
The subtitles give the answer before the spoken answer which spoils the challenge a bit!
Nice!
Gunn's a great contestant, but 1994 called and they want their clothes and hairstyle back. And Gray from UCL is the spit of Calum Scott from Britain's Got Talent 2015.
I got 14 correct , but I probably wouldn’t do half as well if I was on television.
Psi thank you 😉
HAMILTON. THOMAS JEFFERSON. AARON BURR. KING GEORGE III
Thanks again Psi! Thousands viewing this but not even a 100 likes ... C'mon people!
I remember (coz cuties were involved) when the S44 winners Gonville & Caius introduced themselves by their first names. Thought it made sense as we can see their last names?
Sandra27HK
Yes, Gonville and Caius did first name intros...but they did full names for half their matches (the matches against St Anne's Oxford, Manchester, and their first meeting with Durham.)
After their first match with Magdalen, then they did first name intros. Edinburgh have also done it last year and this year.
Dowell 😍😍
JAMES GUNN??
This was quite a slow game.
Say your surnames when introducing yourselves!
Durham Harmonics choir
UCL and Trinity Oxford aren't the only ones. Some other institutions are guilty of it since 2014 (Trinity, Cambridge who started the whole trend and Gonville and Caius who jumped on the Trinity bandwagon in their last three matches).
Some, like King's College London, however only have one person who doesn't say their surname.
Oh Gunn, marry me
Love PSI
I wanted UCL to win....
SPOILER MUCH?
Who reads the comments before the episode? You ruined it for yourself, Adrian.
Jo Do I do if my internet is slow
Consider your wish granted. Along with Ulster, they played again but this time against St Hugh's. And when they did, they didn't just defeat St. Hugh's, they annihilated them. Observe:

No one has been able to explain to me yet why universities with few tens of thousands of students cannot find teams to beat colleges of a few hundreds. It's mind boggling! On average I understand Oxbridge students could be better. But surely a large uni can find 4 people better than or as good as the best from a small college? I think UC shows the gulf between Oxbridge and the rest, including top unis like UCL and Imperial, which some people don't like to admit.
sunway1374 it's cos they can. Have more shots at it . I guarantee you if you get the top ones from Oxbridge and put em up against unis like UCL and Imperial the scores will be lower for Oxbridge cos they'll have less knowledge to pool on
There are many reasons, chief of which being that Oxbridge/Imperial/Durham/Warwick as well as a few others have much more of a history of competitive quizzing. Due to this, the perks of being in their respective quizzing teams are much higher ie sponsored transportation to tournaments, sponsored accommodation and sponsored entry fees. Not always the general rule, but this helps the quizzing societies to be much more attractive to potential participants.
My own theory is that those teams chosen for UC, and who win, do so just as much because of the contestants' pre-university schooling as for their specialised university studies. And since it is more difficult to get into Oxbridge colleges from school, the students from those colleges have on average a higher level of schooling than those from universities that demand less from their applicants.
'Hi, I'm Nicole... and I'm studying math' (1:41). Another Americanism become Standard British English?
British English in danger of extinction as Americanisms, 'like' and upspeak take over,
NEVER!!!!!
Study developments in the English language, and you'll see they are (apart from words that have appeared because of new technology or such) either infections from across the pond or because of illiteracy. E.g. the now widespread use of 'Wow' and 'awesome' among British English speakers.
She clearly said 'maths'
@@-Frameshift Clearly not clearly, since I obviously listened to it several times before writing my comment.
