    Watching this now in 2022-2023 knowing it's paxman's last season on the show... makes me sad.

    22:16 - Paxman's hesitation in ruling the answer incorrect is due to the fact that the movie is a remake/version of Johnson's answer under a different name.

      He's overly hasty, argues, and gets it wrong twice on the same question, while - granted - being entertaining in the process. A portent of things to come?

      Extraordinary how some people's loathing of the good Mr Paxman makes them use just any old nastiness to describe his reactions. To describe his reaction at 9:57 as a sneer is not just wrong, it's simply st*p*d. Such corruption of the language is one of the worst manifestations of Wokery.
