- Today's match is between Wolfson College, Cambridge and School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). It started off quite unpromising, but it definitely is a quite tense match. Delightful people too, although Monkman reminds me of those shady characters from 90s Japanese comics (and an unkempt European version of Mitsuhirato). On another note, Yang must have been in some Knowledge Bowl circuit back in the days. No one answer questions like that.
Original air date 19.9.2016
Love the way Monkman answers questions as if his life depended on it
Adrian Smith and how Cosgrove laughs about it as well
He's not sure the Brits' microphones work.
Monkman's fierce intensity and sheer dismissal of even attempting to use inside voice despite having a microphone. This is the stuff inspiration is made of.
Considering the limited spread of what SOAS was reading, I thought they pulled off an impressive performance. Thanks for the upload ^^
One of the best SOAS teams to appear on this show. Great team.
Of particular note: This episode was dedicated to the memory of SOAS student David Bostock, who died earlier that month -- just weeks prior to its airing. (See 29:24.)
His MA in South East Asian Studies was to be awarded posthumously at a future graduation ceremony. R.I.P. Sir.
nightowl7777 that’s so sad 😞 do you know how he died?
Edwards's nervousness adds such a charm to his intelligence.
Uttam Paudel he’s cute
the elder gentleman is sir david bostock, he was a retiree and a longterm public administration official who was an auditor for the EU, great man, sad to know that he died before this episode was aired
There's something otherwordly about Monkman...
He makes speaking look painful.
He resembles Matt Damon in The Talented Ripley.
He resembles Matt Damon from Team America.
He resembles Matt Damon
matt damon resembles monkman
Monkman is so serious and eager to answer the questions that he reminds me of Hermione Granger.
Both teams' performances are very, very impressive!!! Thanks psimanjuntak! PS It is sad to hear that Mr. Bostock from SOAS team died....
Enjoyed that. Monkman is probably the only person to have shouted at Paxo for 30 minutes and raised nothing more than a chuckle from him.
RIP Bostock! Never seen a student die midway through competition...
I'd be honoured if Monkman was my friend. He's a legend.
Edwards too, he seems like a very nice and intelligent gentleman
Very proper, which is so rare nowadays. Shaking hands with his fellow contestants after the win.
Wow, I am exhausted after that! What great teams--and interesting ones. Many thanks for the upload!
how did they get monkman-bot to even pass the turing test?
In a million years Monkman will be the finate product of evolution.
Unbelievable match. absolute corker. Funnily enough, at first I thought that the tie was going to be a dud. Thanks as always for the upload, psi. Stellar work.
Slow start, picked up near the middle, and an epic (!!!) finish. Thanks for the upload.
Well that was incredibly stressful! Worried they were going to have to bring in the medical staff for Edwards. Amazing from both teams!
Looking at this with half a year's hindsight... Cosgrove of Wolfson College seems to be the only one on his team who doesn't have a 'deer in the headlights' frozen countenance for the camera in the introduction.
Many thanks for uploading, and so soon after broadcast! Keep up the great work...
Well done Edwards, man of the match.
Monkman is slightly intense...
Slightly?
slightly is an understatement
Ha ha, that is IMHO an oxymoron (not sure that's the correct term). The same as saying slightly huge or somewhat unique.
It is a Monkman versus Edwards duel. Edwards was lightning quick on the buzzer and Monkman was hogging
away on the bonuses. Edwards should have been the winner but for the clincher by Monkman's sidekick,
Ben Choudary. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Really clutch performance by Edwards. Too bad they lost the tiebreak.
Thank you for sharing these videos.
Can somebody direct me to the specific score of Dvorak's which plays at 15:20?
I’m sure you’ve found it by now, but in any case: m.ua-cam.com/video/llB7NaWLUc4/v-deo.html
It's a pleasure to hear Edwards give his answers in a soft, measured tone instead of that shouting, declamatory style of Monkman.
One is worried he won't be heard, the other is worried that he will be heard.
26:26 on the right
best episode I've seen - thoroughly enjoyed this!
So the older gentleman on Soas died?
lol
Oh no! That is so sad!
That is really sad so sorry to hear of that
Bah who cares? He wasted his life reaching spastics in Indonesia then topping off his pointless life by doing a pointless degree at an abhorrent uni
James Golightly
there is nothing funny about death. I don't think you would say the same if it was someone close to you.
monkman reminds me more of craig middlebrooks from parks and rec
Edwards is absolutely immense!
SOAS just made me think about....... "Hi, my name is Luke Vivian-Neal, I'm from Lusaka in Zambia, and I study Chinese" with his psycopath staring look LOL
Great show tonight by the way
VanDerWylls which episode was that in?
Monkman finna beat the game up this time around
That was one intense game. Team Wolfson, you have my respect.
9:39 This man is not messing about.
STEPHEN!?!?
Is Monkman real or some elaborate character development?
Monkman answers as if he knew it's wrong... @monkmanisthebest
Was Cosgrove the mascot?
No, he was there to calm the captain with his eternal smirk.
Such a humble goodbye from Monkman.
Who thought chaudari out of everyone would have saved the team? Lol
This must be the University Challenge season with the highest overall average age ever.

I wonder if these folks see "Jeopardy" as a children's programme.
Not embarassed to say that the first question made me shout as loudly as Monkman
Daniel Kahneman was born and raised in France...went to Israel as a young teenager.
27:10 What happened?
thanks for the up
13:04
Does anybody know exactly how David Bostock died?
I wasn't expecting SOAS to do so well.
Cosgrove reminds me of Martin Shkreli
monkman is terrifying, but in a good way, if that makes sense.
What's an emfil
Try MPhil
thank you
This my favorite match.

"Don't say mother hubbard, don't say mother hubbard."
Monkman is da man. Seriously, he's a sharp edge. Some here are mocking him, why? I thought he was intense, competitive, and very knowledgeable.
Edwards looks exactly like Slovenian handball player Jure Dolenec, google him and see for yourself.
mmmmmmmmmmmmother-fuckin monkmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Edwards was brilliant
That is the whitest, most ginger haired, Jewish looking Chaudhri I've ever seen......new dad perhaps?
Loool Cosgrove at 19:01 and 19:54 hahahaha
This episode was dedicated to the memory of SOAS student David Bostock, who died earlier that month -- just weeks prior to its airing. (See 29:24.)

Yeah, I knew this, I meant Cosgrove looking at Yang, have changed it
Aha!! Makes sense -- because your times didn't fit with Bostock -- however at 20.01 (instead of 19.01) -- it looked like he was almost asleep -- so then I just figured that whatever player you used was "out" in the time department!! It's all good!! Was a great match -- that went down to the wire. :)
Monkman you are the dude!!!
Cosgrove is literally me!
Even Algebra is terrified of the legends of the Monkman.
I enjoyed that.
Very odd that the Cambridge team congratulated each other rather than applaud the other team.
Monkman is Dr Evil
Monkman the GOAT
My g monkman, killin the game 💯💸
Keith haring chaudhri
straight up edwards vs monkman
DISCWORLD!!!! I'm telling ya, Monkman is a serial killer in waiting.
wtf how did SOAS do so good? Cambridge schools usually demolish other unis
They could have even won if they hadn't of had that 5 points deduction.
Monkman calm it!
13:37 lolllll
IN CANADA, EVERYONE TALKS LIKE THIS.
But there's another Canadian on your-
LISTEN TO ME, I AM MONKMAN.
Not really fair allowing a wizard, a very intense Harry Potter (Garret Monkman) on the Wolfson team!
Eric Monkman.
Galit na galit si Monkman! Haha
The fall of the Berlin Wall 💀💀💀
yay ...ya'll get all MUNKADELIC
Aneskubai Furmikubai
cosgrove bothers me, looking so smug
These Indonesian Subtitles are fantastic :P
26:20 shame his mother didn't teach him it's rude to point...what a nasty presenter...
Always enjoy Mr Paxman's impeccable manners, the way he apologises when having to deduct points for a wrong interruption, encourages the contestants and is sympathetic when they get it wrong. A superb and charming quiz master.
i don't understand why people hate Monkman i mean he is different but i don't think it's arrogance
Have now read many comments and have so far seen not a single comment expressing hatred for Mr Monkman nor any suggesting he is arrogant.
50% of the OPPs squad are women.. hah, they bring women to fight monkman.. how cute
Steffi Graf wtf.
Chalaby is so beautiful
Too many Canadians.
At the time, Queen Elizabeth was also queen of Canada, so it's all right.
Sheldon Cooper would walk it on his own.

Cosgrove bothers me so much
No finalists there.
it's early days....in the past, losing teams from the first round have gone on to win the whole series.
If ever there was a team on UC that gave a face to high-functioning sociopaths, Wolfson is it!
Why sociopaths?
