BBC Children in Need 2020. University Challenge Special. Stars from the BBC and ITV go head to head in this very special episode of University Challenge for Children in Need. 12 Nov 2020
Mr Pemberton got the Grange Hill theme just on the dates of the show given in the question... But perhaps also because it was used as a stripper's music in LoG 😂
I barely know anything about Brittish TV but this ongoing theme about the ITV guys being a bit thick and the BBC guys being "the better ones" is just killing me.
Nope, the names are live. You can hear it in the real show, Roger Tilling sometimes gets quite excited when shouting out the names at the end of a close match.
@@dionysusnu3881 That adds an element of human "error". If you have a long complicated name, you lose precious microseconds with real live name calling
@@varoonnone7159 not really, the name would be longer if pre-recorded too. On the other hand, it gives you that little extra time on early buzzes (helpful on calculation or logic starters)
'featuring shaggy and jaslene' hmm, dj flea does not translate well to these closed captions I nearly died when i saw this, i mean the whole thing is amazing in and of itself but dj flea aka jaslene is now something i hope lives in my brain for eternity. I wanna be dead a hundred years from now in the afterlife and just chuckle so hard and some spirit will ask what's up and I'll just be like you remember dj flea, aka Jaslene, and theyll be like why do i hang out with you ima go haunt someone
@@RIXRADvidz you're right, poverty is everywhere meaning every country, but no, whatever shutter your indignation means, l dont think so. Rich countries should not need charities to feed some of their children.
Fair play Dara you brought some intellectual integrity/ pride back home after the appalling performances of Catherine our great? and Delamere our spare on Ozmans house of horrors this fortnight. Though l did notice you were a bit lost without the help of smartie panse from England, Pemberton. Still.
Wow students having isolation parties? Do you think they are partying at 10 downing street? I hear its were all the hip conservatives and public servants go
It is shocking how much more sympathetic British light entertainers are compared with German ones. At the very least the British ones might not be laughed out off an elementary school.
Yes, that's how most charities work! Still means that there was 31 million left over for charity. If they didn't recoup the costs, then it would technically be the licence fee payers paying for the production costs and you would no doubt complain about that as well.
@@tommyb7318 they have no right to say as they do that "every penny you donate goes BBC Children In Need" When they don't mention the wage bill. Also the charity of Children In Need is a separate company to the BBC with a CEO on +£200k
@@RickRubinesque no one forces you to donate, I don't donate, infact alot of people clearly don't donate, I think most charities are scammers to be honest, so I agree with you, however obviously they have production costs to pay for its a massive production to put on.
And your starter for ten is; what mindless rubbish will be on ITV & BBC tonight which has a panel? No, I'm sorry you're both wrong it's every channel every night, all the time.
I had to mute and type this comment during the Tiktok round. It was absolutely horrendous for me. Other people might enjoy it but it's just not for me. And old people trying to "get on with the times" is just unpalatable for me.
O'Briain is the Irish for O Brien, meaning descendant of Brian, you'd think the British would at some stage get tired of Anglicising everything they found weird but obviously in your case no..
@@porcupineinapettingzoo you've suggested the British anglicise everything they find weird and that they still do. While use of "British" implies it's something than non British English speakers don't do.
You should work toward those ends. I agree that this is not the best possible option, but it IS actually happening. What are you doing to make the world better? Pissing and moaning? Nothing gets done until someone DOES it instead of just whingeing about it.
so basically they just wanted to use the UC set? these questions were nothing like UC, which I get because this is meant to be comedy, but why even make the association? just make it a quiz show. and the host didn't say "...is the correct answer!" once.
Dara feels so cool every time he answers a question, he has a swagger to him! It's adorable haha
I can't understand a word he says
Ripley and Dommett: I think ITV is hangry
Baptiste: I think the word you're looking for is H-uneducated 🤣
Goddamn, that burn 🙈
Love the fact that Steve Pemberton is worried about being there and then promptly answers all the first questions.
"When are the adverts" 😂😂 lands so well
"And the team BBC"
Now this version is more my level
Fun fact: Uni Challenge was originally on ITV (1962-1987).
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this! EXACTLY what's needed this evening!!!!!
Thank you, thank you for posting this.
4:22 - That's Dara Ó Briain playing Kyle MacLachlan playing Oscar Wilde.
Playing Ed Byrne
Alarmingly I think that early pic of Dara looks a bit like Dominic Cummings! Thanks Ovid for the upload
That was a giggle. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this, Ovid.
Enjoyed that more than I thought I would! Felt like it was over in five minutes, and left me wanting more.
Thank You for uploading💞
Dara really looked like John Cleese in that picture, but without the facial hair.
22:42 Did Stirling bump his knee into something when he pulled his chair back under the desk?
Great spot!
Mr Pemberton got the Grange Hill theme just on the dates of the show given in the question...
But perhaps also because it was used as a stripper's music in LoG 😂
Jeremy Paxman’s let himself go... 😂
Iain's energy at 25:27 is actually brilliant.
I always thought bae was just short for baby. Didn't know it was an acronym.
me too!
The acronym came after it was commonly used.
backronym
This would be way better if asked them normal UC questions and had a genuine competition.
Then it would be a normal show and not entertainment as such for the reason that they're having it
What you want is the Christmas Specials, then.
was there no little interview with baptiste?
That drop really got me
Roger Tilling being an absolute lad
the 'I think you mean uneducated' burn was sooo good
The reaction to when Iain knows bae 😂😂😂
this was hilarious, thankyou 🤣
taking the piss out of dara's appearance it really does feel right
Voldemort with hair, I'll never look at Dara the same again!
Lovely show, and great to see Roger!!
She said Pudsey was named after the town he came from then asked it as a question...
I expected BBC to win, but this was a bit of a bloodbath.
Is it just me, or did the young Dara look much more like Feargal Sharkey.
As a Northern Irish man I should have instantly thought Feargal Sharkey but my first thought was River Phoenix.
6:00 questions start
I have just got there. There should have been a spoiler to say skip the first six minutes!!!
Perhaps I misread the tone of the show!
The music round omg. Those songs are played to DEATH on the radio stations in nz
Every time the host said "very well done, BBC", I'm reminded of the meme of Obama giving himself a medal 😄
Steve Pembertons roast:
“I’m reading Will Iain win? Written by Betty Won’t”
Oof that burn.
Roger was a beast
A few lights for Stirling, please.
I wonder if they're gearing up K Wark as Paxo's replacement 🤔
Would ve never guessed that ending... 😜
I barely know anything about Brittish TV but this ongoing theme about the ITV guys being a bit thick and the BBC guys being "the better ones" is just killing me.
This entire episode is just one massive joke. With Huneducated as the punch line and everything before as a set up.
He calls out the name live? I thought they recorded the names once and pressed on a button everytime a contestant wants to answer

Holy cow it's Iain from CBBC's Iain and Hacker! 😍
Great stuff but not long enough!
Roger looks like Alexander Armstrong's stunt double.
Why did they substitute Paxman?
Low down on the list this one
Kirsty was brilliant! Well, they all were.
This is a local shop for local people!
'Universally Challenged'
So I was happy for another comedian filled show... then I saw Steve Pemberton. And I got even happier, despite knowing the ending to the show :)
this was fun!
If team itv chose to bring one of the chasers from the chase then they would have been better
25:43 Ignore this its for me
I don’t any of the team ITV and only half of team BBC.
That's more on you though.
Gru and Megabus man will be jealous
Jeremy Paxman should've hosted this.
How much did they spend on that ridiculous set?
Only watching for Dara
Edit:
No, I'm not.
Blimey!
After some Googling, equinology is actually the right answer...
You should have done more Googling
They really dumbed down the Qs for the "kids"
'featuring shaggy and jaslene' hmm, dj flea does not translate well to these closed captions
I nearly died when i saw this, i mean the whole thing is amazing in and of itself but dj flea aka jaslene is now something i hope lives in my brain for eternity. I wanna be dead a hundred years from now in the afterlife and just chuckle so hard and some spirit will ask what's up and I'll just be like you remember dj flea, aka Jaslene, and theyll be like why do i hang out with you ima go haunt someone
How the hell do you make "meeyorka" from Mallorca?
Well, that's how it's pronounced, so...
ll in Spain is pronounced Y , They're probably wondering why the B in doubt is silent.. they could go on to.. lol
By saying it with a Dublin accent.
@@raffitz It's pronounced ma-yorka
The Brits and Irish don't do foreign. They just shout in English to be understood.
27:21 The Rank Organisation spoof
I was expecting a fight to the death.
Kirsty did a great job. She should be the next presenter of UC if and when Paxman leaves
Someone from the Newsnight crew seems a shoo-in, all right. I'd prefer Emily Maitlis.
Winnie was named after Winnipeg. I have no idea where pooh came from 😂
My god this is painful
Wait up, BBC got team answers even though they lost the starter? Ok, the whole thing is silly fun, and that’s fine.
Is Anita Rani on drugs?
Usually! Love her! LOL!
shes always a blatant fake
Dara looks so uncomfortable!
Because it is just so horribly forced
He can't work without Hugh Dennis.
because hes sitting next to anita rani, poor guy
It's so shameful for a country like the UK that their children need charity just to feed them.
poverty is Everywhere, no one is immune. shutter your indignation
@@RIXRADvidz you're right, poverty is everywhere meaning every country, but no, whatever shutter your indignation means, l dont think so. Rich countries should not need charities to feed some of their children.
@Wubba Wubba u from Wagga Wagga?
@alphadawn2015 lennon No.

Dommet is hot and funny
This has been fun to watch
didn't quite manage to mention every tory prime minister.
Wow students having isolation parties? Do you think they are partying at 10 downing street?

Dara you're a comedian not a college professor , just have fun.
He is also a reasonably bright graduate

They recoup £6million in production costs before they pay a penny to charity.

Ian Stirling showing off his Taskmaster-style competitiveness…funnier here than it was by week 8 of TM.

No, I'm sorry you're both wrong it's every channel every night, all the time.
Of course have to get a woman to host because you know diversity
Hasn't Marcus Rashford done enough already !!!!!
Celebrities
Bring back Paxman --- or this programme's finished.
Domett is no comedian...😅😅
They've dumbed these questions down for the celebs, jesus
If they can't answer any question, will it be fun?
I had to mute and type this comment during the Tiktok round. It was absolutely horrendous for me. Other people might enjoy it but it's just not for me. And old people trying to "get on with the times" is just unpalatable for me.
when you put a 'T' into , ''O'Briain'' you get o' Britain. now you know why an Irish man has such a weird name.
O'Briain is the Irish for O Brien, meaning descendant of Brian, you'd think the British would at some stage get tired of Anglicising everything they found weird but obviously in your case no..
@@porcupineinapettingzoo is that real outrage from ignorance or fake outrage at an obvious joke? 😋

Oh, Paxman's had a sex change..? I'm still nursing a semi.
A challenging wank
Naive to think that there are other ways of making a fairer world than giving away free food.
You should work toward those ends. I agree that this is not the best possible option, but it IS actually happening. What are you doing to make the world better? Pissing and moaning? Nothing gets done until someone DOES it instead of just whingeing about it.
@@zhazhagab0r Bravo! Your aggressive, ignorant, judgemental tweet corresponds perfectly with your choice of USA Patriot as a handle.
i don't feel so bad as an american. they have trouble understanding the dialects as well.
I am glad BBC won, Fay Ripley is a horrible person, so yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
H uneducated….

You must be great fun at parties...
@@Christopher_Clark most definitely if theyre quiz show parties...
I’m betting backstage beforehand, they were all “ Lovie like” hugging & kissing. Cameras on, Perspex screens & social distancing. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Don’t forget to look up the wages payed to the staff of said charities before you donate. 👍
one Englishman on the BBC team , representative of the UK demographic ?
I guess you meant, ethnic English
But you've got a point. What about the presenter?
