University Challenge S52 Grand Final

[@tonywilde1709]

Thank you so much, Cosmic Pumpkin. You truly are a Godsend! Still rather shell-shocked about the dramatic fall-out and drama of before. Looking forward to making this our new abode ahead of the new series!

[@TheAngrychipmunk96]

Could someone please explain what's meant here?

@@TheAngrychipmunk96 Dave Garda used to upload most of University Challenge episodes but people had recently found out that its a fake name and the person behind it was trying to scam people money by pretending that "Dave Garda" is dying of pancreas cancer

[@TheAngrychipmunk96]

@chelsiewei1232 I managed to find out on Reddit in the meantime.. insane, I hadn't heard! I used to watch the show on his channel. He was even a contestants answer once on the show! Talk about a fall from grace

[@chelsiewei1232]

​@@TheAngrychipmunk96 i was a subscriber to him as well, what a shame :( didn't know that his name made it onto the show but i do remember some past players who used to comment on DG's videos.

[@shardulnikam9322]

Damn, I created a playlist specifically for University Challenge and it had all the videos from Dave Garda. What a shame greed can do 😔😔😔

The most Jeremy Paxman farewell possible. Great stuff.

[@lcflngn]

Omg, that was it? Impressive.

[@mrp4728]

Bennett and Scully were absolutely on fire in this !!

[@jamesmakey2792]

Thank you so much for posting these UC episodes. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

[@jamesmakey2792]

Just got to the end of this series. Thank you again for posting these episodes. I wasn't completely convinced that Durham were the best team in the series. Until the final. Harry Scully was particularly impressive in places. Though, for me, Jacob McLaughlin appeared to have possibly the broadest range of knowledge of anybody in the series. I am immensely grateful to Jeremy for the way that he has presented the show for the last 29 years.

[@peachfreude]

Farewell JP. Youre a legend. Congrats to the winner!

[@mrp4728]

you're an actual godsend thank u so much

[@harveyepstein8256]

the fact that they were the first and last episode is wild

[@donepearce]

Nice work from Jeremy. He was clearly struggling to enunciate clearly here. Fortunately Amol has taken over smoothly.

[@mlml984]

Guess this is our new home?

[@Tillywoot]

hahahaha I just found out about all the drama tonight when I wanted to watch this episode again. I really hope the guy who commented his dinner everytime and the match stats guy find their way to this channel

[@Thomas_basiv]

@@Tillywootwhat was the drama? haha

[@CasperTimor]

@@Thomas_basiv apparently the channel wich used to post UC episodes some years ago was owned by someone who was scamming people online, a channel by the name of Dave Garda, wich has since been deleted edit: apparently the whole story is weirder than I thought

[@FarhanHafizh]

@@CasperTimor thank you! I remember watching all UC episodes on Dave Garda’s channel. I was bemused I can’t find their channel anymore lol

[@bucksdiaryfan]

The Detectorists brought me here!

It's funnny how Kehler would be Doctor Kehler after his medical degree.

[@MaelstromsMonsters]

Yo where is dave garda channel?

[@Peter-xs2mu]

Perhaps not the most popular of opinions, but they might have switched presenters a few seasons earlier? I can hardly hear what the poort man says. Not his fault of course (Parkinsons a b*tch) but a piity nevertheless.

[@Dim4323]

Jearmy paxman will be the best host

[@biggdogg6196]

The questions are - for lack of a better word - more 'woke' nowadays compared to the notoriously difficult maths and science questions of the Freddy Leo, Ted Loveday etc heyday.

[@LINGWOW9]

What is "un-woke" about hard science question's?

[@biggdogg6196]

the more recent series' have less of the hard science questions and more questions that focus on making 'woke' statements and forwarding the 'woke' agenda that panders to feelings of this generation of students. @@LINGWOW9

[@Max_Griswald]

​@@LINGWOW9- I think they were referring to some of the questions talking about queet theory and stuff.

[@biggdogg6196]

@@Max_Griswald yes, and slavery and Black History Month and all that nonsense

@@biggdogg6196 Slavery is nonsense? What exactly do you mean by that?
