I secretly enjoyed Paxo mocking Woods' whining "oh I don't know" stance (though it was a little mean).

We noticed Woods totally ignoring Powell for large parts of the show. I reckon she developed the supercilious left eyebrow to mock him out of his line of vision.
― ailsa, Monday, 22 February 2016 21:58 (eight years ago) link
She was definitely there to keep the boys inline as a Captain should. And 'Warfarin' was definitely delivered to say the least...

It's my life's work to cultivate an eyebrow like that

I got the fastest interruption, when Paxo said 'Bodrum" I said 'Halicarnassus'.

Yes and yes. Also I'm not sure I can bear to watch Peterhouse again.

Well, that was a touch one-sided. And I get irrationally furious when Paxo refers to Powell as Oscar, it's quite unnecessarily paternalistic.
― ailsa, Monday, 18 April 2016 19:37 (eight years ago) link
Is that the lowest team score ever?
― Mark G, Monday, 18 April 2016 20:16 (eight years ago) link
xp Wasn't Paxman just making fun of Woods?
Woods was my favourite this season. Glad to see her win.
― jmm, Monday, 18 April 2016 22:06 (eight years ago) link
I liked Woods too. Plus I can't abide all-male teams, am always rooting for them to fuck up.
― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 18 April 2016 22:15 (eight years ago) link
Whatever it was, it was annoying. He did it earlier in the series too. Also Peterhouse seemed to get longer before he gets exasperated with the time taking conferring. I did feel he was quite well-disposed towards them xp
Woods was great, yes. Really good at going "shall I just say that?" and listening to the rest of the team as well as being pretty useful at answering questions. Felt sorry for Clegg as he'd been really good the rest of the series, but he and his team just never got started.
― ailsa, Monday, 18 April 2016 22:31 (eight years ago) link
I forgot about Brejevs. He was really good too. Unfortunately his team was not as strong.
