University Challenge (also featuring Only Connect and other BBC quiz shows)

That working-out-the-numbers one, God, I thought I'd die of boredom. Paxo seems to let them away with it though.

Rudd shit ffs

Gave yerman enough time to add 120 to other numbers ffs

Rudd rallying ffs

Fuck off

roxy music and talking heads. ffs.

kids these days.

I'm angry too! What are we mad about!! lol xp?

Very soft questions throughout tbh

XP you kinda need to be watching it tbrrwu

You don't really need to be a darts expert to know that treble 20 isn't 120, ffs.

the way the girls just seemed to throw their hands up at the darts question was odd. it's just maths.

and the third of those questions (170) was by far the easiest.

And the linked sets of questions were cracked by knowing just one part

And the scores were still shit

Two poor poor teams

Yeah, no-one really covered themselves in glory. Clarke really never looked like she wanted to be there.

Anyone still watching Only Connect now they've shifted it to a Friday? Such an odd decision - they upped the number of episodes of the series to run it alongside UC then shifted it to Friday where no-one watches it.

Oh, I already said that.

Sorry we must accept your first reply

> to Friday where no-one watches it.

those of us without a social life still do!

Yeah, I watch it on a Friday too. But I think interest is dwindling. Based on nothing much, really.

I wish Only Connect had stayed on a Monday night.

I don't know if KOOGS knows that MASTERMIND had a CREATION RECORDS section last week.

I did remarkably badly at that considering the amount of Creation stuff I own (lots of it given to me by koogs)

But since when were specialist subject rounds so short? She only got 10 questions! (I got 6 too).

iirc it was because it was a semi-final (or a quarter-final? I forget), with 5 contestants and 90-second rounds instead of 3 contestants and two minutes each

(oops, it's 4 usually, isn't it? I am just an occasional MM watcher. I saw the Creation one and got v few tbh; 90s me might have got a few more)

xposts since they started making the questions brain-numbingly long.

Most of my Creation is also from KOOGS except the House of Love and Oasis and Teenage Fanclub and Ride CDs ... come to think of it maybe not that much is from KOOGS after all.

it's here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08fnrpq/mastermind-20162017-episode-29

and it's first up.

bernard butler lp track titles? gtf

that's odd he doesn't look like an ecologist

HI, MY NAME IS ERIC MONKMAN...

Not watching it fuck that clown i don't care if it's clinical or parental or involuntary fuck that clown

I feel the same and I usually have professional sympathy

I work hard to get that sympathy out from buried deep and fucked if that clown is getting a squirt of it

as I say yeah I concur, plus I spend half my life telling people we don't have to medicalize every outlier on the social scale

Oh settle down!

SEAGULL vs MONKMAN - IT'S ON!!!!

That was worthy of the buildup, UFC posters etc

the second UC semi final wasn't as good.

the Only Connect final, the pvr cut off the first 5 minutes so i missed the setup and the reason she was drinking all the way through (although i guess it was the final).

anyway, i laughed at the two nightmare-looking walls. except...

was pleased that Monkman lost but god bless him he looked genuinely congratulatory

he kept jumping in, his team-mate Yang didn't look happy at being shut down by him either

oh he played like a dick but i was hoping he'd look crushed at the end and he didn't

You would have to worry

about how much

Chaudurhi knew

About chloroform

But the best team won and fuckit, a team that let monkman do all the work can't complain when he shot his load a bit

Tho I've rarely seen such easy sets of five pointers, so missing the ten was costly every time.

yeah it did feel a bit easy for a final

<3 <3 <3

Pottsy OTM

I didn't see any of this series, so didn't see Monkman, I'm just glad he lost so I don't have to hear about him again.

Yeah, he gave away lots of five pointers.

Having said that, isn't it that he should only get five points deducted if he interrupted the question? Fair few times, Paxo passed it over with no more of he question to relate.
