      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?

    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.

      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.
