Thank you so much for posting versions with subtitles. UK pronunciation is so different from US when it comes to such blizzards of proper names and scientific terms, it can all be a bit difficult to parse out without them.
Harris, being from Bath, may have been thrown by the St Martins question, as that is the name of a specialist hospital near Bath University. It used to be Maternity, so people's grandparents were born there.
There's a sentence I never thought I'd read - now I can't look at her without imagining she's wearing a nightdress and reclining on a bed or a boat or something :D
I'm more for saying a striking sort of beauty myself - The Lady of Shallot has been an image that has stayed with me since I first laid eyes on it - but fair call! This conversation has been very enlightening. Many thanks.
THE BLUR QUESTION IS DUBIOUSLY PLACED IN THAT ROUND! LAETITIA SADIER SANG THE FRENCH PARTS - SHE'S FRENCH AND NOT PART OF THE BAND, SO IT'S WRONG TO SAY AN ANGLOPHONE ACT SANG THE REFRAIN IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
He (James McAvoy) was actually in the film 'Starter for 10' in which McAvoy's character wins a place on Bristol University's University Challenge quiz team.
Nice to see a female on 4/4 teams so far. The BBC certainly sent a very strong message last season when every all-male team was knocked out before the semis Lol
Adam Walker U need servicing or a reboot/upgrade bot :P S46 both finalists, Balliol & Wolfson (who were in the semis too) did not have any females. Neither did St John's in S45, or S44, when hotties G&C beat Magdalen, if memory serves me right ... Oh dear, what happened to u?
The Glasgow captain has that mannerism that I can’t stand, answering questions with a statement like “it’s/that’s ______.” It comes across as so smug to me
When at school did you never have teachers tell you to stop answering questions with 'is it...' and start being certain. Paxman also does tell people to stop asking him the answers so this is probably something he just learnt at school.
Erik Bakker you need some common sense, history and cultural education. His name is vedanth Nair, it is a typical Hindu name. He is most probably linked to South India and brahmin caste because Nairs are from there and is a brahmin caste. Dude, in india names gives you so much info, you will not understand.

"Hegel was a bit miserable." "Schopenhauer was VERY miserable." XD XD
A rather fierce looking conversation in the closing credits with Cugini.
I'm no expert but I got:
"That's no help"
and
"Let him finish... _something_ "

That was a really good game - and questions I did a lot better with than E1! Thanks for upload
Love the "Crash Course: History" t-shirt worn by Herbert
Whiteford - "I'm studying astrophysics and being a 19th century Pre-Raphaelite artist's model."
Would that it were a more common style, and not just existing in beautiful paintings.

I'm thinking more Beata Beatrix or The Bridesmaid. Wonderful that the young lady's elegant style has turned our minds to timeless beauty.

Agreed. Same with me re Shalott (I did get your reference). Best wishes.
Glasgow Barn was on OC with Peterhouse Powell!
The Dandies, right? I knew I had seen his face before.
Yep, alongside Jack Bennett from Liverpool in 2016
The Crash Course Mongols tshirt wore by Herbert!!
Why is Modric there?
Yessssss glasgowwwww!
Barn was on a team from a couple series ago... I can't remember which exactly.
He was in Only Connect.
@@NearCry91 THAAANK YOU. I was hoping the answer would be here, it was driving me mad
Two good teams, both of them.
That is some epic hair!

The answer to the last question was Arne. ( I had to look it up)
175 should be enough for Emmanuel to get through to the next round. Credit to Cugini, she really wants to do well in this.

I always wondered what cousin it looked like underneath.
james mcavoy doing pretty well.
He (James McAvoy) was actually in the film 'Starter for 10' in which McAvoy's character wins a place on Bristol University's University Challenge quiz team.
Cugini a shoe-in for UC all-babe calendar. SHOO in!
Good game. Can't warm to the Glasgow team and found myself supporting Emma. A Cambridge team with normal, likeable people. Very strange!
Schopenhauer was right.
Zip!
Nice to see a female on 4/4 teams so far.
The BBC certainly sent a very strong message last season when every all-male team was knocked out before the semis Lol
Sandroid
A woman on 4/4 teams so far...just like last year. And the year before.
Adam Walker
Good to know :)
When was the last time a SF had a female on each team? Tks!
Sandroid
Last year. And the year before that. And the year before that.

U need servicing or a reboot/upgrade bot :P
S46 both finalists, Balliol & Wolfson (who were in the semis too) did not have any females. Neither did St John's in S45, or S44, when hotties G&C beat Magdalen, if memory serves me right ...
Oh dear, what happened to u?
You know a strong message is being sent as well when the first all male team to be fielded into University Challenge is knocked out.
The Glasgow captain has that mannerism that I can’t stand, answering questions with a statement like “it’s/that’s ______.” It comes across as so smug to me
Why so irritable?

He is a manipulative covert narcissist
Nair didn't able to answer questions about Hinduism and india, lmao.
Erik Bakker you need some common sense, history and cultural education. His name is vedanth Nair, it is a typical Hindu name. He is most probably linked to South India and brahmin caste because Nairs are from there and is a brahmin caste. Dude, in india names gives you so much info, you will not understand.
He's from Norfolk.
He also went to a private school and his sister got all Grade 9's in her new 9-1 GCSE's this year.
He's more British than Indian considering he's from Norfolk (which is how he should be) so give him a break!
Karthik K C 'how he should be'? What does that mean?
Don't worry lads, Cugini looks better in real life
And she called you out for being a total prick on Facebook you melt
Cugini is a trans man nowadays
I'd like to see her tits
I hope cugini looks better in real life
she's a man now
It's always a shame when an Oxbridge college loses.

For Oxbridge people, it is.
Pipster for us from Glasgow it's kinda good
