University Challenge S47E23 Magdalen - Oxford vs Fitzwilliam - Cambridge

[@adroose]

Utterly shameful that Paxman's pronunciation of foreign languages is so bad. In German the difference between "sauber" (clean) and "zauber" (magic) is obviously significant. Fitz team were trying to work out something to do with clean. Maybe if Paxo had pronounced it properly they'd have had a chance of guessing.

[@terrystickland5770]

Paxman's consistently poor German pronunciation grates my cheese every time, and 11:05 supplies a prime example of how this can prove crucial for the contestants' chances.

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

What I thought - thanks, now I don't have to post it myself.

[@YoYoLandFill]

The real shame is that for years I thought I had a magic bum.

[@alejandroquesada]

1:17 3:08 Oxlade: - "We don't know, sadly" Paxman: - "Correct!" 12:16 This sort of banter is the reason l watch this show... also, Paxman's "whom" 14:30 After having listened to all four songs l learned that l like the Jamaican Dembow genre.

Great atmosphere, both teams looked quite relaxed. I was rooting for Magdalen, it's a bit unfortunate we won't see them again. Gibson is a fantastic captain.

[@louisadu-amoah1504]

Gibson is so animated. I love that

[@wanaheda]

Maloney was on fire.

Great to see you're back and thank you for uploading this so quickly.

[@gowikipedia]

these teams were too good to come up against each other at this stage

[@amandamorriss3658]

call me a dreamer, a fool or a sentimental old trout, but watching this program i sometimes get the feeling that for the world's future maybe all is not irrevocably lost....

[@sarah854r4h]

I'm really sad i really liked Gibson!

[@milesw7290]

to be fair the way paxman pronounced it it did sound more like sauber than Zauber. Sauber does mean clean.

[@Voroman]

Gibson carried hard to no avail!

[@lcflngn]

Would have loved more Gibson, sigh.

[@adamwalker9796]

Ironic isn't it? Episodes ago, someone referred to Gibson as "skin crawlingly creepy" then in this episode, they mourn him.

[@terrystickland5770]

I'm going to miss Gibson's tip-of-the-tongue moments. 19:18 23:03

[@istvanklein]

Howe's ribbon must be a dare.

[@Correctrix]

Not to mention the shirt.

Both teams are adorable haha

i'm more for cambridge as they are less clinical and less upper class tbh *thumbs up for tindall yuus

Maloney is frickin' great. Very knowledgeable dude

How did he get an Irish name like Maloney??

[@GRAND4x4AutoAccessories]

Gibson carried hard. The 2 other guys on Magdalen were sleeping tbh.

So its going to be howe vs mckeown this year

[@Sandra27HK]

kathirvel kumaresan Why?

[@ferngullyisme]

I feel like Paxman is glaring at Howe's shirt whatever chance he gets

[@ovieimoni5832]

Should have left STERN at home

[@staffordahoy679]

In reference to the very first question, really hope Oxlade says "great" in the exact same tone when his friends ask him for an opinion of a movie, song etc

[@ingaeubanks5737]

RE: HOWE. IMO standing out from the crowd is always preferable to being part of a crowd for reasons that may be more obvious to someone raised in Germany

[@adroose]

Good match! Although I kept being distracted by imagining Magdalen as a gang of crime-fighting kids in an afternoon TV series or eighties movie. I don't say this pejoratively, they just seem to fit the casting stereotypes for that sort of thing.

[@bewareofpigeons]

🤣

[@Crossbow933]

very good round!

Thank you for uploading simanjutak. Chill btw are you from Indonesia?

How bizarre to see a young Nicholas Soames on University Challenge in 2018.

I lost it when they couldn't get "lossless compression"

[@MrMadraMhor]

Oxlade looks like Odo from Deep space nine

I appreciate oxalate on the show but I feel like i meet be insufferable to be around in real lofe

[@louiss1625]

Has anyone ever seen lips smaller than Oxlade’s? I don’t even know if he has a lower lip

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Funnily, the more bizarre the attire, the less points a contestant scores. Given points are given in return for knowledge...

[@100Jim]

Jesus

[@JohnSheppard1]

Ugh, that music round. Dreadful stuff.

[@Sandra27HK]

I pity Howe, the team mascot, knowing that despite looking and being the dumbest on the team, he is seated on the right of the captain and in 4709 BBC gave him more closeups than the captain, all because he has a famous godfather that is in/out of BBCs revolving doors very often. It also explains why Fitz is the only all-male team allowed to get through to the QFs and prob win the damn thing! UC should be renamed 'Twitter Popularity Challenge'! #DemiseOfAGoodOlQuizShow #BBCisTwittersBitch Can anyone tell Im not having a good Sunday? :P

[@adamwalker9796]

Sandra27HK You realise UC is only half an hour, don't you? I ask because where did you get 4709 on a half hour video?

[@Sandra27HK]

Adam Walker If you realised that I realised UC was less than 30 minutes an spisode... what does 4709 mean? Do think before posting...

[@Sandra27HK]

Adam Walker The title holds a clue...
