Pity one of these teams has to leave. They are both quite good. I was pulling for UCL as I remember Walker was amazing in the 1st round. She was quite good again in this round. I really thought she had the Algonquin Hotel in the end. Had she, UCL would have won. Then again, her team really struggled with the bonus questions while Edinburgh used them well & answered fast enough to enable them enough time to catch up. Right team won in the end but I'll be said to never see Walker again. Quite a brain on her.
Jon Forsythe. Walker hasn't just got brains, she's got brains & beauty! Doing a Masters in Translation? I really need help with some French translation urgently! Happy to pay ha ha!
Odd observations aside: Hiding spoilers here, gimme a sec... Glad UCL went out. Didn't like the way they kept dragging out time on bonus question. Edinburgh's very late comeback was thrilling, though, so a great match to watch. Late turnarounds and all. The right winner in the end.
AnonymousGuyfromRome If Paxman gives them time to do that then it's his call - I don't think the students are counting how long they've got and it's up to Paxman to call them up if he thinks they're they're taking too long. (Mrs L)

I want to like the Edinburgh team but am not a big fan of the all-male teams. The last few years Edinburgh teams have done quite well -aren't they quite active on the UK student quiz scene? It shows, they clearly know how to 'use' the match and were right on top of the quizzing classics that were presented last night. Will they manage to reach the final though? Hopefully not as we need some girls on there!

The consonant 'r' is, in linguistic terms, an alveolar approximant (some would say fricative), pronounced with the tongue tip nearing the front of the palate (close to the upper teeth) to create a narrow air space. This happens inside the mouth (obviously) and the lips are parted. The consonant 'v' is a labiodental fricative, realized with the lower lip (almost) touching the upper teeth to create a narrowed air space. This happens in front of the mouth and is visible. It is this sound that Johnstone produces (you can hear and see it) , thus pronouncing a 'v' (distinctively different from 'r') and referring to the 20th century instrument 'clavinet'.
"and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye".
I love it, lol. Every time.
Love how the entire Edinburgh team falls back into their chairs in relief at 27:52 :D
you're a Teamspotter, you are!
Amazing heart from both teams. Stunning match.
Man, Fang has the same intense stare as the profile photo of some character in a fighting game. Real intimidating.

Walker is too sweet. My type.
Very exciting race to the finish this episode - and both teams were likeable. Thanks - this was great fun. I even got a few right. 😅
Only a matter of time before memes showed up in the questions!
Have to feel sorry for Walker.
trust me, she'll be fine. I'll look after her.

I thought University Challenge folks were "reading" instead of "studying"
As they are the same thing it doesn't really matter.
Only the Oxbridge lot.
Fitz-James just literally punching the buzzer at 27:31 lol

"What common four letter word is this..." ... if someone had buzzed early at that point and said "This", that would have been epic.
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never give up!
THEY MIGHT AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe they missed the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy reference.

Did anyone notice but there were four wrong answers in the last five minutes by UCL which cost them 20 points and therefore at least a tie.
Why is Fitz-James double-barrelled? Does that mean someone's surname was ... Fitz?
Sophie Walker.
If you've heard of the JonBenet Ramsey murder, she's from the town where JonBenet Ramsey lived.
@@aaronlewis8948 Do you think she did it then..
Hello
Is there a tutorial on how to marry Walker?
neogenesis. Well, if there is a manual, I'm going to be the first to read it! She's doing a Masters in Translation? I desperately need help with some French translation! How do you translate "Marie-moi!"?! Ha ha ha ha!
There's advice on A) how to stay out of the friend zone and B) slide into DMs providing sh's on any form of social media.
Wrongly earned point by Johnstone on the Denner instrument question: it is claRinet (18C), not claVinet (20C) - which he said (21:11).
IKR?!
No he didn't he said Clarinet I'm reasonably confident that just how he speaks
What? He clearly said clarinet.
