Hello, Mark. You are brilliant in this episode. I was wondering if it is possible to watch the second-round match between Heriot-Watt and whichever team you guys were put up against. Thank you.
Thanks Avik. I don't have a copy of the 2nd round match unfortunately. I didn't own a video recorder at the time and my Mum didn't tape it as... ... SPOILER... ... she didn't think I would want to watch it again given that we lost. We were somewhat less sharp after a late night with the Middlesex team the night before filming. Not that I think we would have won even if we had gone to bed at our intended sensible hour!
I think he just butchered the question. It should have been delivered as two distinct sentences along lines of “The top two pro US football teams compete for the Super Bowl. What’s the equivalent bowl for the top two college teams?”
Ah, my fellow alumni. I went to Heri O'Twatt in 1994, and left two terms later before they could kick me out for non-attendance and failing all my exams, managing a magnificent 0% in one of them.
@@lightningmcdweeb I'm afraid not. The following year, I went to the University of Ulster where I _was_ kicked out for failing all my exams and non-attendance; which I blame on a predilection for a local fungus.
@@RUBBER_BULLET hahaha 😂 you sound like you had a lot of fun times in the 90s. Well, nice to have interacted with you old -timer, i hope you're doing well today wherever you are
Hickey started a bit cocky,but turned out to be quite good,he should have got the Phil lynott question tho, fellow Irish man and all.p.s.paterson was a total babe.

These early Paxman episodes were absolutely electric.
Watched this in my Halls TV room (Linlithgow C) in 1995 in my fresher year. These were great times!

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_Challenge_1995%E2%80%9396 has all the scores from this series.
It would be good if Heriot-Watt made a comeback in a future series of University Challenge
I look at this and it’s quite weird realising the majority of the people on the show today weren’t even born when this series aired
12:50 question about American football confounds professional and college versions.

A gentleman AND a scholar.
Did you finish a degree later from elsewhere?

hey so there was a time when paxman didn’t hate being a part of this program
I think he was trying to emulate Bamber Gascoigne a bit in the beginning, just got progressively more grumpy and senile in recent years.

Anyone know where Burtt is these days ....?
Wood's nervousness is genuinely affable.
4:45 did she really get that from date of birth and country 😂 it could have been anybody.
'Mon the Hoops !! 🍀💚
Voltaire was a horrible answer in an early round & spot on near the end. Hickey & Paterson were quite good!!

Yeah he is just like that in real life as well. And so is she!! (not that I can claim to have seen her recently)
2:16 13:21 & 27:36 No Conferring!
I think someone had to remind him about the music bonuses 😂
The captain of one of the teams is a somewhat giggly and entirely unhelpful.
I can't believe that thick Welsh fella studying Physics didn't know what a hadron was.
Oof, yellow suits!
Christ, imagine wearing a football top on University Challenge. Cringe.
