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

imagine living a life where you are familiar with George Ezra but not Tori Amos

can someone pick up Ollard on loan

Gee, these two sure are charismatic presenters.

this is a rejected Partridge programme idea

you let one French team in...

wasn't paying attention at the beginning so I'm not sure what they were meant to be studying but I'm guessing "nothing"

'synthesiser' is the greatest answer given on any quiz show ever.

That was why Jeremy was all "Zut Alors", bloke was wearing a beret..

They (well, some) introduced themselves in 'language', to general amusement, then proceded to sit back and watch the telly...

I met Golfinos from the other week in the pub a couple of weeks ago. Well, I say "met", he was across from us with my assorted quiz nerd mates going "look, it's Golfinos from University Challenge" in his general direction. We didn't speak to him.

french wankers

I share some facebook groups with the Goldsmiths team captain, she's cool.

Come on Pembroke

That's a moustache!

Alt right as fuck

Lol kiss of death

"I haven't finished the question". I don't think Paxo quite understands how a buzzer quiz works.

Was that the one where he gave one correct answer but paxo wanted two? I can see why paxo would think that was a dumb mistake, but only because he knew the whole question, which the guy didn't.

Beret girl was quietly impressive, especially with the literature, but that didn't stop the walrus leaning away from her towards the other guys every single time.

And he got spanked for it! "That's not what you were told... But the answer you gave is wrong so.."

Beret girl was quietly impressive, especially with the literature, but that didn't stop the walrus leaning away from her towards the other guys every single time.

"The biologist is on the other side of you, mate!", quote my partner.

The captain of the other team was quite pleased to be answering the Kinks questions, mostly correctly.

However, after that they went back to watching the telly, prob had some pizza or something.

this was so bad that even i commented on it quite early on, after he chose to pass rather than try her guess.

dickhead.

First mistake of the night, describing de Botton as a philosopher.

another male captain seemingly reluctant to listen to his teammate...

Yeah I wondered about this one, and she was clearly their best player.

Before I go there has this Only Connect team got any ilxor connections?

second team didn't seem to get that picking the third row also completes the fourth row and you can use that as a sanity check, rather than randomly picking 4 out of 5 shakespeare-based things.

pvr didn't pick up the new series so i missed the first half...

and there's no repeat

there's iplayer. which i could use to answer this question: what was the watt west tungsten won connection? got distracted. & was the arsonists thing just a poorly formed 'joke'?

W

all can be "abbreviated" as W

Chippy is my specialist subject

Yeah I nailed those v quick

tactical error from manchester, east london don't listen to the questions. they should both lose.

That "pairs of words, one beginning with At" set was embarrassing

"Means"

Poptimists on OC are friends of mine, and were unaware of Poptimism.

Dead Kennedys finally got the UC recognition they deserve.

Io! It's fucking Io you prick!

theyre turning me feminist these dense fucks

On the sequences round on tonight's OC I was trying to think of someone who's middle initial was H.

christmas alumni contest nightly on bbc4

ah, looks like it's from 2014

so any correct answers would be somewhat tainted

Also all celebrity alumni are pig thick or ordered to play it that way

God bless that little chump getting all over-excited
