University Challenge S42E32 - Pembroke, Cambridge vs King's, Cambridge

[@Jimdixon1953]

I loved watching that, a classic match between two very likeable teams. I particularly enjoyed Gratrex’s celebrations when he got a question right. No restrained sips of water for him!

[@yugominier4452]

just at 14:56 he asks for a german composer but Schoenberg is austrian, no ? (even if he was maybe on German territory in 1933 and because of the influence of Hitler's accession to power in 1933 he was forced to quit is fuctions he still is meant to be austrian)

[@jamesmakey2792]

Yes, Schoenberg is Austrian. Strange that he was described as German.

Well done to go from 0 almost up to the competing team's score so fast. Average age 19 and 20 and they know so much. What did I know at that tender age? It would perhaps be interesting to know what school they came from.

This was a nail-biter. To echo N Stone, I felt badly for Pembroke. They were a team of really outstanding students. I think it was "bad luck" as Mr. Paxman sometimes says; i.e., a lot boils down to the subject areas of the starters and bonuses. On one day, the subjects touched on will be areas your team members are conversant in, on another day not so much.

King's is my fave team this series! They seem fun to hang out with

[@quothap]

12:30 was hilarious "yeah, I am"

[@Daga1946]

King's are real audience pleasers, really hope they make it through

[@Hadrianus01]

PEMBROKE SCANES!!

[@Iewkas]

"Glissay" ... "No its Glissade"... It is a freaking french word, that was all sorts of messed up.

[@Reberi96]

Iewkas but in Ballet, "glisse" and "glisadde" are two different moves. One just means brushing the foot against the floor and lifting it 45 degrees, and the other is (like described in the episode) a sort of "jump".

[@danawinsor1380]

@@Reberi96 That's an excellent example of a subject area most people won't be conversant in. Despite how close these two answers seem to be, only one is correct.

WTF is Gallant wearing? And that moustache...!
