Terrific. Thank you for providing Indonesian subtitles, as well - it's a much less complicated language than I had expected. (I appreciate the morale boost; off to Jakarta in a few days).
Edinburgh seems to be such a nice team, all seem to like each other and genuinely enjoy the experience. i like monkman, but doubt hell be able to carry his whole team. although the loss here might spur wolfson through into the final
Terrific performance by Edinburgh who were flying a bit under the radar until now. I think they can beat anyone. Wolfson are a one man team. Anyway, thank you so much for the upload, Psi.
Diren, how dare you diss the Seagull? Lovely lad - from East Ham, in the London borough of Newham, you know. Seriously - top bloke, loads of enthusiasm, genuine disappointment when he gets 'em wrong. Still - I'm with you in backing the Edinburgh crew.
Monkman (especially with his new trim) looks exactly like Eugene Tooms in the X-files, who was a serial killer who made a nest under a shopping centre escalator and ate people's livers.
REALLY? Maratha (the name of the ethnic group) for Marathi (the language) is okay? Not where I'm sitting, here in Mumbai, Maharashtra. He's penalized people for FAR less. Paxman pisses me the fuck off.
Brushing up before this year's final and am horrified that Paxo lets Monkman get away with saying that the Grito de Dolores signified the beginning of the Mexican Revolution (1910) when in actual fact it was the beginning of Mexican Independence from Spain (1810), a hundred years earlier and a completely different historical event!
I thought I was pretty good in understanding accents from Britain, having lived there for many years. But I don't understand what Dale was saying in the introduction.
You can't get two more diametrically opposed team captains than Boyle and Monkman. One of them relaxed, playful, extremely manly (and sexy); the other none of the above. The outcome was a bit of a surprise but an entirely good way.
Urdu is the proper name for the language of Pakistan, not Pakistani, as far as I understand. One thing about University Challenge is they never seem to admit their mistakes
Monkman (kind of) passed the Turing test
Ewan Smith is ASTONISHING his speed and Knowledge are second to none! ::)
A great game. Glad for Edinburgh, nice team. Smith really pulled it out at the end, but they're all solid members - Boyle is quietly quite fierce
Monkman my man pure class on the grass right there
Paxman, don't pretend like you're above giggling at Titicaca.
and straddling rivers...
Yay! I love Edinburgh - they're so nice.
Monkman is terrifying
Scares the hell out of me.
MONKMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Boyle has everything...looks, brains,voice and personality!
I bloody love this Edinburgh team - a really likable bunch of all-rounders. Earnest Monkman and co. still potential finalists though.
thanks for the quick upload!

Arts Ambassador if you haven't picked it up yet, the uploader's probably from Indonesia as his name suggests
Boyle and Smith were amazing...
I think I burned more calories watching this than walking home from town with shopping...
Close comeback from Monkman. Really want to see more of him.

I'll pick it now - Edinburgh + Emmanuel for the finals, provided they don't meet in the semis. If this happens, I reckon it'll be a ripper!
I would have loved that to have been the case. Too bad, we had Monkman and Goldman instead.
Thanks so much for the quick upload! What a game!! Smith vs. Monkman!
Mexican War of Independence (1810) not Mexican Revolution (1910).
Monkman is definitely the sexiest man alive!
"This is getting embarrassing" LOL
Smith is a beast, and Boyle is a beast - but for entirely different reasons ;)
What a match.
SMITHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I just want Edinburgh to smash Seagull's giant ego in the finals :)
Diren, how dare you diss the Seagull? Lovely lad - from East Ham, in the London borough of Newham, you know. Seriously - top bloke, loads of enthusiasm, genuine disappointment when he gets 'em wrong. Still - I'm with you in backing the Edinburgh crew.
May the best team win! I must also disagree with you...Emmanuel is a terrific team, they are amazing!
lol its not Newham, its Newm
Feel sorry for Monkman, but Wolfson are a one man team.
Chaudhuri is good.
Liz Clegg chaudhri and monkman , the Liam and Noel of uc
monkman hype
Was Monkman born SHOUTING??????
I think you could be right.
Can you imagine him like that in real life?
Monkman is a potential serial-killer. You have been warned...
Monkman (especially with his new trim) looks exactly like Eugene Tooms in the X-files, who was a serial killer who made a nest under a shopping centre escalator and ate people's livers.
hes nice come on, first to clap
J Pimenta - offensive
Love those Shire questions!
There were several nicely imaginative questions in this edition - I liked the "microsuns" one too.
Really well played both teams :)
so close...
Epic!
good match, good sportpersonship too
Monkman is definitely a highlight of this series xD
and here I am admirin Boyle. anyone knows whether he's vegan by any chance? it's just 'cause he does environmental studies lol
who knows
I'm not a vegan personally, but we don't buy animal products in my flat I try to keep my consumption low otherwise.
Son S Sonson that was funny lol
Haha no stress, I never normally comment on TH-cam, but was sending this video to a friend and couldn't help myself. Thanks for the support!
Well done to your team- quietly brilliant and always composed. Impressive on the geography rounds I thought. Really enjoyed watching :)
This match was absolutely insane! I hope Edi don't play my precious Emma in the semi-finals.
Monkman was a few hundred Km out. Urdu is spoken across the border in Pakistan.
Whattagame!
Lord Paxman appears to be presenting himself in an alarming state of sobriety! Can this be true? Lose five points ........
That was VERY close...

At least two people on the Edinburgh team have a cold.
Monkman, no!

Mexican Revolution😀😀😀😀
Monkman only has one jumper
ITubaUTuba nice one
go edingburgh! :)
I only got shitting Punjabi correct
Ah, the schadenfreude, when the smug, supercilious Paxman trips over a simple phrase like "British statistician"! 06:40
Eric Cartman....;)
Goddard is a goddess...
Monkman :)
