It's taken around 21 years of using the internet for me to realise a sad truth - that internet-users become more annoying than their public selves at the slightest 'provocation'. They (I should say "we", probably) also become more predictable. University Challenge comments always feature: 1. Misogyny. If a woman gets a question wrong, there will be a psychotic reaction. The inverted form exists too; 2. Racism. One genius on here is proud to be unwilling to comprehend that we're all allowed to identify as being from more than one place; 3. Badly-written posts along the lines of "there stupid I knew all the ansers and i didnt go to univercity!!!!! (sic)"; 4. "I can't BELIEVE they didn't recognise that tune from my favourite movie! They are beyond help!"

Ha ha, Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' suggested for Ennio Morricone's haunting theme for 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (16:32). Sometimes the guesses are pretty wild.

I thought that said Lady Margaret Hall Oxford vs Downing Street, but then realised how unlikely that would be.........😃

JP's horror at their answers of Godfather and Ratatouille will never not be hilarious

Good to see Robert Shaw is up and about again.

Jones kept turning to the right and ignoring her other teammates. I thought she was annoying and not that great.

not just mullan, what an excellent team. the others will probably win but damn what a great episode

damn, mulann was excellent. if she was was on the opposing team they would win the thole thing. maybe they do i haven't seen it yey

Loved this episode. And the Sandman. I laugh as I had read an article earlier in the day which mention Gaiman writing about Duran Duran early in his career.

Wtf I nailed those city map questions and have no idea why or how to use this pointless skill 😭

Here i'm, still learn 🌐🇬🇧♥️

At least i gotta some Knowledge 🌐🇬🇧♥️

Thank you so much!

Oooooo bad luck Brasenose, you were stronger than that score suggests .... good game. Yes, let's toady up to the Oxbridge College. Typical Paxman.

It's amazing, it doesn't matter how smart or talented someone is on this programme, there's always someone who doesn't like their attitude or demeanour... boggles the mind

Irtysh. Watching this from Kazakhstan, this is pretty impressive

Brooks is my favorite.

7:26 That's not a picture! It's some Spanish words.

10:04 r/watchpeopledieinside prime candidate

170 all and then Wolfson win on a tiebreak, saves you watching.

Not entirely surprised they didn't get the Jainism question. We are only 0.04 % of the entire Indian population!

Having both Marx and Capital as answers in such close proximity seems a little unfair, and probably threw Jackson off at 9:52. In fairness though, it is a very famous quote and they should have known it anyway!

This was more of a competition between Brandon and Rich than between the two teams lol

bizarrely I got 9 questions right in the first 9 minutes (Spanish round was a gift) and only two right in the entire rest of the show

Really wish to meet the one person who disliked this video. And ask the person why.

So leading up to the show are they given an idea of what subjects are going to be coming up ?

It looks like Brandon’s brain is so powerful it causes him migraines.

10:05 what is the answer, please? wave shaped. nurdle? and hello and thanks from connecticut for the upload . cheers!

Baffled how they were oblivious to the most obvious Western sounding music in film.

Another great one and so close.

Brandon's not cocky, he's just got quiz-face. Switches off all pretense of looking good or looking attentive and puts it all into brain and buzz.

Brooks is so hot

25:29 botanical man Brooks

That conclusion, Shiiiiii....! And here's the sight-bite: 15:50

I've binge-watched several seasons of UC in the last few days - that's what a Corona outbreak does to you! (bless the uploaders)

I actually enjoyed this one, some good performances BUT... NO ONE GOT COLE PORTER?!?!? I mean, what's the world coming to??? ;p And one of this episode's sight-bites: 25:29

Woodbridge looks like he is wanted for murder, and it looks like Holmes has something to do with it. Look on from about 4:57.

weren't expecting the high pitch voice from cahill

well hello there mullan

I'm gassed cos I got Hexyl right as a pure guess. I should probably be studying atm though

9:34 That was pretty horrible.. that look of disgust

I thought it was a bit unfair of Paxman to get so exasperated when they didn’t know the theme from the Third Man. It’s not that famous and younger people today are probably less likely to have watched it.

When you can actually answer the picture questions but only because you play Paradox games. 😂😂😂

Goodo! Some decent clunge this week.

Jones certainly didn't get any help on questions relating to Britain from the two British men on her panel!
