Thank you thank you psimanjuntak. geez, it's only the second episode and Trinity College Cambridge against Bristol. Waua, no spoilers here but the loser aint coming back as a high scoring team. I really enjoyed myself. It wiz braw.
@11:15 Does he say all 4 elements are in the Platinum group? Because that’s definitely wrong - Osmium is Group 8, Rhodium and Iridium are Group 9. Only Palladium is in the same group as Platinum which is Group 10.
Good catch ... I thought exactly the same when I heard the opening bars. Not sure why Bowes (and his moustache) looked so smug considering it's one of the more well-known classical pieces ...
IS TIME MANIPULATED ON THE SHOW? Unbelievable that Bristol got ALL their Art bonuses wrong ... the Potato Eaters by Van Gogh ... c'mon! This is the first time I agreed with Paxo's WTF snort (11:01) before he declared 'Van Gogh' the answer. Thanks Psi, no need to apologize, just glad you are uploading this season of UC :) Enjoyed Wimbledon after Murray got knocked out ;P Bothers me that TIME is a crucial factor in determining the winning team. Last season saw the deserving SOAS team (among others) lose coz of a few less seconds to answer bonuses and now a repeat last Mon when Ulster lost to Edinburgh coz of a few less seconds to answer bonuses. S4701 had 19 (less 1 unanswered) Starter questions while 02 had 22 (less 2). If exactly the same number of (answered) questions were asked per episode it would seem fairer overall rather than the current format where Paxo can vary the speed (he sometimes does and does not) towards the end. Saw an article where the BBC UC crew admitted that the episodes were not shot in one sitting but often unanswered questions were edited out, toilet/water/makeup breaks etc.
Would it be wrong to say this is the worst team Trinity Cambridge ever fielded? Oh well, life is still good back at the richest college at the university.
If I was ever going to write an open letter to the BBC here's the changes I'd recommend to make University Challenge more accessible: 1. Make the questions less wordy and more easy 2. Include questions about pop culture and have pop songs in the music round 3. Have university students who look like they're in their twenties and enjoy themselves; half of them look so old they might as well have come on wearing togas 4. Get rid of Jeremy Paxman. He has about as much personality as a brick.
Clearly, the suggestions are a joke, not least because occasionally viewers from the US complain that there is no equivalent quiz in the US, only quizzes that are almost childishly easy. And making demands with regard to the students' behaviour is simply absurd. Lastly, the criticism of the popular Mr Paxman would suggest the one who has made this joke, is an American, because in the US, TV hosts draw attention to themselves, as if they are purpose of the show rather than their guests (Dick Cavett being an exception). In GB, however, a quizmaster doesn't draw attention to himself (unless it's a humorous quiz such as QI), since the show is not about him but the contestants.
You are a legend psimanjuntak 😉
I think Hosegood will be a standout this series.
Thank you so much for uploading it! 💕💕
Hooray! I enjoyed last week's offering, but was afraid to get my hopes up for a new season! Thanks for the entertainment!
Thank you for posting.

Thanks for uploading this, on holiday atm so can't watch on iPlayer
Thanks for uploading man. been waiting for this all day :D
I caught seagull in 28:24
David Lee and Powell
Thank you! Wow!
"These Bonuses are not going well" - no shit xD
psimanjuntak you are my new favourite person
Hosegood was incredible! And I felt bad for Trinity they weren't that bad at first but then they just let Bristol do their thing ...
Dude was on fire.
hewett: if kate micucci was a dude
I was wondering why he looked familiar!
HAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA
Thanks! :)

Yeah Bristol!
25:37 this is some Hapax Legomenon-level shit
Cheers
Trinity college is very dissapointing this season. I missed the 2014 team. They were so good.
Guessing Duchamp and Vermeer for 'The Potato Eaters' are more of the funny guesses from contestants who have no idea at all.
Hosegood looks like the adult Octavian from HBO's Rome.
That Mozart horn song was used in another episode.
Good catch ... I thought exactly the same when I heard the opening bars. Not sure why Bowes (and his moustache) looked so smug considering it's one of the more well-known classical pieces ...
Sandra27HK I was thinking of Flanders and Swann
Why?
Sandra27HK Because Flanders and Swan wrote a very funny song to the tune of a Mozart horn concerto.
Tks! Will have to listen to it.Classical music not my strong suite :)
Hosegood is amazing.
love that the laureated uni got wiped by a newer one :)
I believe Hewett didn't sleep so well that night. Magnificent player, though
"Sphygmomanomometer" haha
10:20 did he say 1885 for the potato harvest by Millet? it can't be, Millet died in 1875.
is it just me that's wondering what HoseGood was mumbling after he gets a buzzer question right every time ?
Is it just me or did Bristol colour coordinate?
Almost every one they got right I did not know. Half that they got wrong I did know. 🤔 Maybe it's because I'm American.
Surely "Man's" in Paradise Lost is an adjective, not a noun.
Adjectives describe something, like lumpy, soft, ugly, messy, mouldy, rotten...
@@adamwalker9796 Adjectives modify nouns.
That was seemingly weaksauce from Trinity. Hard Luck!
l'm prepared to let the delay go... just this once. Thanks for all the progs

THREE TIMES UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS, AND TRINITY PLAY LIKE THIS?! UNDESERVED VICTORIES!!!!!!!!
Can Hosegood marry me already?
Bristol will be a force

Who knows these things
Hewett's chin is strong af
Bear is kinda cute in a nerdy way.
A SEEMINGLY NERDY GIRL, AND SHE PLAYS LIKE THIS?! CUTE IS NOT A WORD FOR HER!
Bear reminds me of Mrs Brown for some reason.
Joseph Karl she reminds me of Sophie Rudd :-p
gnamp True that :)
Béar reminds me of Sophie Rudd too. Prepare for the transphobic shitheads any second now.
Correctrix well... she's a _lot_ prettier than him. XD
Ah, there’s the first one. I'm glad my assessment of your character in that other comment has been borne out.
It's boring without Monkman!
Irritating moustache
Irritating kind of comment.

Fred W why don't you like the changes I'm recommending
Satire4977273 Jesus! All I did was recommend some little tweaks and I'm being ganged up on
Why the fuck would you watch this show if you dislike all of the fundamental aspects of it?! Just go watch the fucking chase or something ☠️☠️☠️
no need to be offensive to JP.
