Wow! Quality TV. Every time I get a question right I have a sip of my wine. No chance of getting drunk from the questions tonight though.

[@mscheckersv]

If I know 2 questions, I think I’m pretty bright; if I get three I figure they’re getting too easy. 🙂

[@perle9352]

XDDD

[@warsshan]

You are either broke or you are doing it wrong..... drink after incorrect answer instead......

[@ellystripes]

[@aidansmyth6480]

Pfff! The questions are so easy...it's coming up with the correct answers I have problems with.

[@hugorune766]

I'm an old fart, with memory problems, but I do recall watching these way back with Bamber Gascoigne, and surprising myself with how much I could answer... but now, hey Paxman is a great host, but I find I am unable to answer ANY.... thank you for this mein host, I will enjoy watching the rest, I will enjoy realising how stupid I am now..... genuine thanks. :)

[@jerseyinsd]

anyone else notice the time on mr paxman's watch?? specifically: it was 3:30 when the show started and he introduced warwick, but 4:15 when he introduced exeter!!!

[@aquapony]

Give me a break - I didn't even notice he was wearing a watch...

[@stemolfilmproductions4745]

13:38 you can see Wolfenden jump out of her seat when the guy presses the buzzer😂

[@ElitexSnipax]

Italian mathematicain : Euclid.. Okay there

[@Jim-fj7py]

[@hlm896]

[@TheMuslimdon]

[@jasminejones3648]

Thanks!!

[@davidholden3386]

Thanks for the upload, no access to the iPlayer in Ireland

[@cat_or_pillar]

As a Dylan fan, I giggled a little to see them all wince when the bonuses on him were announced. There was no way they were getting that first one!

[@Nightlake]

16:53 LOL instant answer

[@josephkarl2061]

Marat and David questions return again in UC. Hannah Woods and team had a similar set a couple of years ago - not that I remember because I have a bit of a crush on her... (slinks out)...

[@Sandra27HK]

David went to Monkman's team S46. Posted link in my comment above as quite funny :) Don't remember much of Woods coz Powell was soooooo distracting! He was quite 'normal' on Only Connect though. Wondering if it was just a stunt ... it worked!

[@stemolfilmproductions4745]

20:24 When you get your test result back

[@Isaac-yx2nd]

oh damn! Jacopo Sartori looks like chris evan's identical twin! He's such an eye candy! can't take my eyes off him.

[@UmerKhan-yj7wk]

Amazing warwick

[@Oliver-ub4gc]

Why does Gowers look exactly like Mark Francis

[@rickgammon8972]

Doing rubbish on science questions (as per usual) but smashing the arts ones. :)

[@arbitrarystuff1229]

Men-de-lee-ev. 8:27

[@diabl2master]

9:15 Paxton attempts to say "Leclerc" with a French accent

[@Sandra27HK]

Thanks! * Nice ref there to Bamber Gascoigne( 17:14), the original presenter of University Challenge from 1962. * S46 Monkman & team didn't know David's 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps' (06:00 above) in this funny clip :P kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpKzqYyhm6l6ock * Easy flag question decider at the end as Rwanda is the only African country beg with 'R' Lol

[@MajesticDemonLord]

- is called Beardsley - has no Beard...

[@Nico2000]

Where is my man Monkman?

[@adamwalker9796]

Where's Durham Harmonics Choir, complaining about contestants' first name only intros?

[@Sandra27HK]

Adam Walker Look in the mirror :P

[@adamwalker9796]

Sandroid Oh, hello Sandroid. What do you think about the first match this year?

[@Sandra27HK]

Adam Walker Hi there! Not bad :P

[@durhamharmonics2363]

Adam Walker. Durham Harmonics is here! And, yes, you know what I'm gonna say about Exeter... Obviously, they should not be allowed to re-appear as highest scoring losers for introducing themselves by their first names only ha ha ha ha! (See my post!) Good series so far though.

[@leopoldopetrieska6564]

how did they not get Blake correctly is beyond me

[@SvobodovaEva]

It's such a difference when you come from the S47 finals video. This was quite a disappointing round, also they all look like high school students, wth? 😳

[@Satire-yj9jq]

IKR?!

[@spakkakiwi1]

Lol first question. Mmm I have a night rash. But you're gorgeous so it's ok

[@20shourya]

Yes blud

[@seanolaoire7781]

👍

[@tbwatch88]

Brown, you prolly clean up nicely. ish.

[@Satire-yj9jq]

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zino1516]

Lol Waitland was so useless

[@MarcusAurelius-x9n]

How do these kids know this stuff, lol

[@octopus8420]

Just learning

[@gordygibson8776]

Education, curiosity and reading.

[@durhamharmonics2363]

Everyone, see how beautifully Mr Sartori introduces himself including his surname (even if you can't make out his first name)?! Contestants should be disqualified if they introduce themselves using only their first names! Mind you, try not to completely cock-up saying your full name like Mr Al Masri on the Leicester team (S44E09)! Watch him and try not to laugh your head off!

[@adamwalker9796]

Jacabo, I believe his name was.

[@GLBizzie]

This wasn‘t a Warwick win. This was more a Beardsley win. His Collegues were kinda useless and not that helpful tbh. They got lucky a few times but it was all Beardsley that knew his stuff. Congratulations to Beardsley here

[@astrophonix]

Sargon of Akkad question at 16:02! Hail Sargon!

[@Symbioticism]

I hope you are not referencing the misguided KZbin personality and rather the historical figure...

[@MajesticDemonLord]

I got that one because of the YT figure - funny how things work..

[@clonbanincork]

Nanu Nanu.

[@durhamharmonics2363]

Exeter University should not be allowed to return as a 'highest scoring losing team' because they introduced themselves using first names only ha ha ha ha! FFS, will somebody on University Challenge please bring in a rule to disqualify contestants/teams if they only give first name introductions?! It's really irritating and not cool at all! Contestants, say your bloody surnames! Merci beaucoup.

[@adamwalker9796]

Ah, Durham Harmonics. Exeter shouldn't return? Even with Jessica on their side? Speaking of Jessica, is there anyone you see as being like Stone from last year (i.e. loathed by Sandroid but adored by you)?

[@durhamharmonics2363]

Adam Walker. No question that Exeter should have been disqualified outright as soon as they gave only their first names, even with Jessica on their side ha ha ha ha! There'll never be another Stone!! : )

[@adamwalker9796]

Durham Harmonics Not now, but there may be as time goes by. I feel like you're going to hate this year and the next, because next year everyone will do the first name intros while more people are going to do it this year.

[@durhamharmonics2363]

Adam Walker. I fear you may be correct about that! If first name introductions continue to increase I will, sadly, stop watching University Challenge - unless Stone makes a re-appearance ha ha!

[@adamwalker9796]

Durham Harmonics Which she probably won't. Tell me, what makes Stone different from the other women on university challenge?

[@bestfullyy]

goddamn Warwick were an ugly team

[@adamwalker9796]

How, exactly?
