Light emitting diode! i thought that would be right up Tom's alley!

the is cheating, how can u have tom on your team!!!!!!!!

asking them about a no-name lata mangeshkar is an insult to them

2:00 while one of those places is closer to Christmas Island, for whatever reason it was managed by another tiny island!

0:46 mad capn tom tshirt !!

the (indiscernible) at 12:42 is gardenia

One can only be impressed at the fact he was able to answer this well since (at least I) mostly see him as a personality who knows a lot of interesting places and facts and not this niche stuff

The buzzer sound, albeit a different note, keeps reminding me of the intro music to Red Letter Media's "re:View" format, likely because I've watched too much of it.

Conn lowkey got carried

Wow, didn't know Winston Churchill hosted quiz shows

Fun fact, Tom Scott actually knew all the answers, but he's so self deprecating that he let the other team win out of polliteness.

Good grief this host is about as bland as unseasoned oatmeal

The new host, Amol Rajan, is fantastic, making the whole show a very different, more friendly and more fun experience. Bye Paxo, and thanks.

Be pretty bad if you were beaten by a worse team, Tom 😯

When the presenter said "Bessemer Process" we all said "Tom knows this one"

It surprised me that Tom (and his teammates) didn't know Light Emitting Diode considering how many engineering related videos he had made

Some of those answers are truly astounding Either showcasing an awe-inspiring knowledge base, or equally stupefying lacks of it Seriously, “The October Revolution that happened in November”, that’s one of the easiest WWI events to remember On the other hand, some of those movie or painter questions I couldn’t answer under threat of death

what alternate universe is this when the JWST was already launched??

oh the other teams are fucked big time, they have no idea the amount of random knowledge our man tom knows he's completed every side quest known to man

the way he sits there reminds me of thom yorke for some reason

Love the little nods they give each other 😂

1:08 idk, 1890 ? Nope, it was 1920's 1:32 Java ? Yes 1:58 Singapore. Yes 2:14 Australia. yes 2:27 didn't even process the question lmao. It was “sort” 2:42 Gāius Jūlius Cæsar. yes 3:03 Toms Scott said the answer before I could think about it, but I don't think I would have gotten it anyway. It was Jupiter 3:13 I think I remembered this one from watching this video the first time, but I probably would have tried Halley semi‐randomly and I would have been correct 3:25 LED ? yes 3:55 I would half‐randomly try Austria ? And I would have been right. 4:24 Liberia. yes 4:42 no idea. It was James Monroe, as in Monroeville 5:07 no idea. It was [didn't get that ; something like Ellen Johnson Serli] 5:35 no idea. It was “ethics” 6:21 idk, a playback singer? yes (although, I might have remembered that from the first time I watched the video, I'm not 100% sure I would have gotten that otherwise) 6:50 Pakistan ? Nope, made the same mistake as Tom Scott's team lmao 6:21 no idea. It was “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (don't even know that movie) 7:44 makes me think of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite yes that was correct (although I don't really consider that a Christmas music, but whatever) 8:20 no idea. It was Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Never heard that piece before. 8:33 still no idea. It was Good King Wenceslas. Also never heard 8:46 still no idea. It was [Oscar Peterson ?]. I don't know jazz. 9:13 again, no idea. it was [Harrison Berth‐something]. 9:39 peas ??? yes. 10:02 dominant genes. yes 10:20 probably DNA, otherwise chromosomes. Chromosomes was the correct answer, but DNA counts 10:41 I remember this one being the Indus, but I'm 90% certain I didn't think about that at all the first time I heard the question 10:54 no idea!. It was [Munk/Munch/something like that]. I don't know much about painting. 10:09 dunno. It was Van Gogh. 11:28 I think I remember this one being Hokusai, and I probably would have tried that if I didn't remember. 11:37 dunno. It was [Broigl ?] 11:52 blood pressure. yes 12:15 I'm a bit ashamed but nothing comes to mind. It was jackal (never would have thought of that) 12:34 Jasmine ? yes 12:59 caravan. yes 13:17 Robinson Crusoe. yes. 13:37 the October revolution. yes 13:59 the Winter Palace. yes 14:17 Shostakovitch. yes 14:41 I remember this one being Extinction Rebellion, but I most likely would not have gotten that. 14:56 dunno. I didn't get what it was 15:11 whatever the English translation of “choux” is. Yes (cabbage). Specifically it was red cabbage, idk if cabbage would have been enough. 15:24 dunno. It was turmeric (idk that word). 15:45 idk, steel ? yes 16:06 boar and bear. yes. I somewhat remembered that, but I think I would have gotten it anyway.

that diode question was literally GCSE

“A legume known binomially as peasum sativum” and out of her hunch of peas or corn she went with.. corn?

Sounds like an arpeggio in the beginning

Nostolgia from my childhood

Was blown away to see Sophie Woodward here.... Possibly doesn't mean much to other people, but she works in my office...!! (Now to see if Sophie sees this comment and wonders who I am 🤣 )

I’m honestly surprised how many I got from just naming random stuff lol

Alexander Fleming? he didn’t grow up far from where I live!

the dramatic zoom in whenever anyone buzzes is really funny

Wasn't the first transatlatic flight in 1919?

they caked his face in makeup holy shit

hapax legomenon!

“Presenter and broadcaster” Tom Scott 😎

no idea what the hell this means but having professional people and then internet funny tourism linguistics man is great

0:45 that's not Tom surely?

5:55 I don’t think the presenter could have mispronounced that worse if he had tried.

Jeremy Paxman speaks like he's blasted... Never heard anyone slur that much in regular speech. It's awful.

This makes me proud to study at york

15:39 Gary must be very disappointed that Tom didn't immediately guess the Bessemer Steel Smelting Process

Jeremy Paxman's slow droning voice makes this unwatchable. He used to be so sharp. I guess it happens to us all.

4:56 Monrovia not Monroville Thanks for the video, love a good quiz.

1:07 snayk - growing on me

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love song 😍

Today we have learned: Tom Scott can choose his quiz partners wisely and he is on point on the buzzer.

blimey! this is literally the best boss fight theme ever!

NICe

*buzzer noise* "York Scott" 🗣🗣🔥

0:59 my favourite part of the song

I didn't get a single question right... holy fuck.
