+tommykl Nah, they'd always have the best two teams sure, but every team can have an off day. When you give them 10 teams each you're eliminating that statistical flux
Do you not have a similar television series in The United States ? Upon reflection, I think such a series would be well worth watching. I would love to see a pitch between the best of our Universities and yours. To wit, a competition between what many over here so often dismiss as a `dumbed down` Educational system and those Universities which are often placed amongst the very best in the world.
Steve DL I don’t know what you mean? Are you calling the US dumb? We have some of if not the smartest over here. MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, CalTech, Brown, UChicago, Northwestern, Cornell, Rice, etc.......
@ferzy09 I get 80-90 percent if they are from geography of India and Asia. And about Science and Maths. I not interested in politicians, actors, musicians of UK/Europe.
justlikeitsounds I am rooting for Bristol. But you are absolutely right, from the first minute on they looked listless, lifeless and strangely drowsy. As if they did not care at all. I am certain that they are actually a much better team.
You forgot about Bristol's previous performances - even the best teams can have a bad day, as we saw in the final last year. I don't mind CC, they don't waste time unlike other teams but about time for a different university to win I think. PS - Paxman not allowing 'macaroni' must have been a factor, made worse by him allowing 'elephantitis' to CC later on!
When they asked them to identify the composer of some lesser known classical music I was thinking "Oh man thats the calibre of student they're looking for on this show? Someone who listens to classical music in their free time?" but then later when the avengers and studio ghibli questions were asked, I got so excited that I was able to answer them! Even though I only answered two and they answered some 50 questions, I still felt like I was rubbing shoulders with amazing people
Yup. I'm a new watcher of these quizzes...but it seems to me like he favors Oxbridge colleges and gives them a lot more license and leeway and WAY less scorn when they cock up. At 12:06 Ventakesh is told "Varicella" but he says clearly, "FAricella", and blithely Paxman says, "Yes, Varicella is correct." How often has he scorned contestants saying, "You were correctly told [xyz] but you didn't say that"? Often. But not here. He pisses me off.
Thank you so much for the upload, Psi. You rock! Bristol have turned in a real stinker this time. Hope they can turn things around in their next match. Or are they really not all that good and merely had bad opponents in the previous two rounds?
27:18 Lol, Bristol decided to wake up after an eleven minute nap (last point gained around 16:00). I'm afraid, they chose a little late into the game to pick up the ball again but at least there was an effort, eh?
theres a UC video ive been trying to find where a picture round is the lineups for a sporting event. the starter is the 1999 champions league final. if anyone knows this vid, please put the link in the replies. im desperate ngl

The CC team are exceptionally charming but the Bristol team are in no way opposite, merely not as charming. The Bristol captain's sullenness does not reflect a sour woman for she smiles very sweetly a number of times in this contest.
Yoga is not a branch of Hinduism Yoga is the father and mother of all faiths and is at the basis of every institututionsl religion in the world (Except for palaeontology and evolution, of course, which are fictitious fields of study)
I often feel ashamed that there are people this intelligent in the world compared to me, but then again, I'm betting not one of them could put up a shelf.
it's nice to see these older episodes again, and a Jeremy Paxman who actually gives a shit about his job as a host. Nowadays he is phoning it in, and barely even that
19:10 *pushes up imaginary glasses*
love watching Corpus Christi - not taking it dead serious but putting up solid points and having fun in the mean time!
cheers for the upload!
what is this magical show ... and where has it been all my life
Clickbaited by University Challenge
@Karl Sinkovits lets not be perverts here, karl
😂
Ah I see you’re a man of culture as well.
Blonde would get smashed fr
Nit clickbait she was in the video
I can now see why Oxbridge colleges compete separately, the pool of talent they would be able to draw on otherwise would be unbelievable.
Indeed. People complain that they almost always win, but if they had just one team for the entire university, they would *always* win.

+tommykl Nah, they'd always have the best two teams sure, but every team can have an off day. When you give them 10 teams each you're eliminating that statistical flux
i think there should only be one team from Cambridge and one from Oxford actually
I don't think that is true
Corpus Christi are very entertaining, especially Emma Johnson and Nikhil Venkatesh
I love how Venkatesh just goes with his gut half the time.
@@terrystickland5770 And doesn't allow himself to be distracted.
My first time watching this and whooo boy this is so genuinely entertaining all the way through!
Great game, thanks Psi for uploading!! Looking forward to watching Corpus Christi hopefully go all the way!
Good to see Joy Division represented.
Can't wait for Venkatesh v Monkman
gjcauilan if Monkman (slightly) won Goldman, Venkatesh will be no problem for him.
If we were in the old format (straight knockouts for the quarter finals), then we would have had Venkatesh vs. Monkman.

Lucas M Do you realise how ironic your comment is?
This is the most fun I've seen Paxman/the audience have..normally it's so tense
Why am I now addicted to binge watching UC? This is the 7th episode I've seen in 2 days and only got ONE answer right 😩
But you'll learn so much from watching these. Don't worry about it dude and keep nerding😎
@@thomasjenkins2555 😂😂😂👍 that's true! Might watch a couple now, it's been a few weeks
I don’t even understand the answers let alone the questions looool

i hope things have changed in the 4 years
I'd love to see Corpus go all the way. They work well together as a team, all contributing. Bristol looked like they feel asleep at the halfway mark.

Towards the end there, Clarke seemed to spend several minutes texting, e.g. 23:18 ;-)
Id love to see Johnson go all the way..
Jeremy Paxman sounds so disappointed when they get it wrong
thanks again for the upload!
Venkatesh is so smart
I think Corpus Christi are one of my favourites this season :) Love watching them!
I only came for Emma Johnson tbh XD Plus she is increadibly intelligent which makes her attractiveness level go off the charts!
I came as well

The thirstiness of people in the comments section for UC will never cease to amaze me.
It's TH-cam algorithm's fault for pushing the episodes with cute girls in the thumbnail
You look quite thirsty yourself with that picture
@@cdsbz3314 I think she looks more moist than thirsty.
Amirite?
God Johnson is such a qt π
DonSwami totally, she's a knockout
DonSwami i was thinking the exact same
She's a stunner.
Same goes for Clarke. Both stunning.
I always thought Peterhouse Powell was the cute one
Corpus Christi team very well balanced, good bet to win all the way!
Paxman should have accepted macaroni. He has accepted much less accurate answers.

I tend to agree his decisions do come across a little arbitrary at times but to be fair for this question he specifically asks for the adjective
...stuck a feather up his bum and called it macaroni ....i agree ....
No. The correct adjective would be macaronic.
No, for God's sake! He's doing God's work by insisting that the kids know their Goddamned grammar. God! We can't give up on the grammar
Corpus Christi Venkatesh
Saying that took longer than the question
Bristol team looks extremely exhausted, especially Clarke.
Trivia. Let's all get excited.
Clarke is my University Challenge waifu
Thank you so much for the upload, Psi. You rock! Bristol have turned in a real stinker this time. Hope they can turn things around in their next match. Or are they really not all that good and merely had bad opponents in the previous two rounds?
The questions get harder don't they? So they are only so good up to a certain level of difficulty, perhaps.
Yeah it's at the point now where I don't even understand some of the questions.
5:57
"pAsTa"
What is a trouser role? is someone wearing trousers?
THATS WHAT MAKES ME WATCH UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE
27:18 Lol, Bristol decided to wake up after an eleven minute nap (last point gained around 16:00). I'm afraid, they chose a little late into the game to pick up the ball again but at least there was an effort, eh?
Very brilliant people🤯
Who dresses Paxman ???!!?? That tie hurts my eyes....

well meme'd, friend
Aww Venkatesh is a cutie patootie. And very smart.
I'm struck by the fact the medical students missed three obvious enough medical questions- right atrium, elephantiasis and ringworm
Odds on Venkatesh getting the first question right?
I'm Indian and i didn't know it either
6:13 it’s not macaroni, it’s ‘macaronic’!!
25:27 220 points, but 25:31 215 points. How does that work?
Kazi Siddiqui Someone messed up with the graphics. After their 1st bonus question they had 225 points which is correct. @25:55
My guess is it's just editing. Paxman's voice over a separate camera shot of the team.
25:40 ”They keep the kilometre in Paris” 🤣
Slip of the tongue, I'm sure.
Bristol was completely out of depth :-(
I thought he swore that they won @ 1:42
Exactly
This is my very first UC video watched.
Paxman’s in a good mood
That was a cardboard cutout … 👎
3 roses in a bed of weeds😂. Sorry boys.
oh wow, that's a huge margin
No one beats the Monkman
Clarke is so fit
Bit of a miseryguts, though.
That's what makes her so fit. ;-)
You're absolutely correct - her expression is sexual dynamite.
She looks tired
Johnson's got better front though
How did I guess that Fleets name would be Tom lmfao
21:44 finally a question that I could actually answer 😌😌😌
Could also add 24:20 to that 😅
lovely
I only got one answer right. This game is hard!
Tomsett sounds like David Mitchell
Joe Lycett actually
Not surprisingly the best looking gets chosen as the thumbnail.
Why does Bristol's Clarke looks irritated.
Bristol? what is Bristol?
Nope. You lose five points.
19:28
All fatigue in the world is on her shoulder.
the plant questions are easy af for us south east asian folks xd
Everything is easy for you in White man land.
That Ghibli reference
Hmmm Johnson 👀
Goodbye Emma Johnson
NICE TO SEE U
Good game.
Bristol ❤️
Two medstud and cant even answer right atrium fast enough, lol
4 strong players for Corpus!
love how fucking disappointed Jeremy sounds when they get it wrong
Cool teams

@@adamrules01 thanks bro
She's so cute ❤☘
It surprises me every time Paxman makes a joke.
Paxman IS a joke, and not a particularly amusing one … 👎👨🎓
He often makes jokes, and then people get offended and say he's arrogant and a bully, etc. Always says something about them and nothing about him.
@@castelodeossos3947 He is an arrogant man without any justification for his arrogance.
I watched this for Johnson 👌
I click for the thumbnail
Corpus Christi are such a pleasant team, the exact opposite of the Bristol team. I'm delighted with this outcome.

Johnson for the win! Giggidy
Does no-one "read" a subject anymore?
The relentless Americanisation of British English.
Why do they always play opera and classical music? Surely this isn't they only music uni students listen too
DafR_ The answer to that sweeping question is - they don't!
I often feel ashamed that there are people this intelligent in the world compared to me, but then again, I'm betting not one of them could put up a shelf.
ss ss they are smart so they must be inpractical? Great logic.
Izabella Wilas - I think you'll find that statistically speaking my assumptions are validated.
ss ss many participants seem to lack social skills as well
creating a sheugh needs know how too.
Pretty damn sure Mr Venkatesh can put up a shelf. His charm suggests a Renaissance man.
it's nice to see these older episodes again, and a Jeremy Paxman who actually gives a shit about his job as a host. Nowadays he is phoning it in, and barely even that
He's been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease so that is probably he is not so energetic in the later episodes
I like Johnson. She is beautiful..
true say
Clarke has a very strange manner to her...very off hand and avoiding eye contact. Maybe it's shyness...
Could be nerves but could just be autism, at least 50% of the contestants on this show have gotta be autistic or adhd
For being smart, they're not that smart.
Venaé cavaé
Got baited by the beaut
fleet guy aint doin nothin mang
aydoooo Just as I read your comment, he answered a starter correctly.
