University Challenge mentions Daily Mail-o-matic

[suenaamy]

WARNING TO ALL STUDENTS: You are strongly adviced to STAY AWAY from a private tutoring company called University and Academy Tutors (UAT), based at Jesson House in Coventry, England. This company was previously known as ICUT (UK), but the owner of the company, "Dr." Vincent McKee, was outed by Sky News in January 2011 as a FRAUDSTER. McKee then changed his company's name to UAT (GB) and his OWN name to "Patrick Murphy." Sky News AGAIN exposed him in March 2011. He now calls himself PATRICK KELLY

[luckydan2412]

@DobbyKing1 I got "ARE BRUSSELS BUREAUCRATS TURNING THE MEMORY OF DIANA GAY?" This thing is awesome!

[HaHaHamHammer]

0:08 - 'headlieins'?

[CinnabonChan]

Maybe next time the question will be: "What is the name of the most notable racist lunatic old biddy with a strong repressed butch lesbian vibe?" "Melanie Philips is correct."

[edaines]

0:10 jesus fuck that is a massive chin

[nowoolovermine]

The mail screwed the World cup bid, the tossers

[ficklefiend]

It couldn't be the Sun, because the don't rhyme!

[TheConciseStatement]

I'm actually amazed at how consistent you got the clips of Paxman's voice to sound.

[kitchenaut]

I think the Sun is a little different (not defending the Murdoch rag), as it is patently absurd and seems jokey and blokey, whereas the Mail has pretentions of being a serious newspaper, albeit one that uses hysteric knee jerk reaction as a mode of analysis.

Any paper with tits in has no right being serious about anything, although it has a large readership, which is worrying.

[kitchenaut]

The Daily Express, who are equally obsessed with Diana, peadophiles and immigrants. They get off lightly, but I think the Mail's columnists given them the edge in the madness stakes, with Philips, Littlejohn and Hitchens stoking up the fires for the burning of gays and pagans.

[kp996]

And the Sun are like 'Are you a pedo?, Are you a pedo?'

[waIIflower]

Let's face it... what else could it possibly have been?

[anondude25]

I love the way they say Daily Mail so casually, as though 'what else would it be?'

[DanHBowen]

"it is indeed, yes"

[oompaloompajesus]

shit

[ckay12345678gh]

the guy second from the left used to get on my bus. not that exciting have a link to someone who's been on university challenge, but meh

[acekingie]

WOW!!! I'M IMPRESSED!

[deathbunny218]

yes it was i just looked it up

[deathbunny218]

My favorite people from this are Patel, Fanshaw, Partridge (He terrified paxman) and a guy in his 40's or something who had no expression, who i call the robot guy, i remember his team was getting thrashed and his team mate made light of the situation by giving an obviously wrong answer and then robot guy glared at him.

[deselmes]

Do you remember which university this 'robot guy' represented?

[deathbunny218]

sadly not, all i remember was that he was on a team with someone called Waddington and was the team leader, i think it was in the last series of it but am not completely certain

[deselmes]

The York team in the 2007-8 series had a player named Waddington - might it have been this team that 'robot guy' led?

[deathbunny218]

Bull, he was the captain, robot guy

[narcher91]

i met paxman when i went to be in the university challenge audience... he is so funny when the cameras arent on.. and when they are of course...

00;16 to 00;18 hhahah

[bertyblue]

0:08 loool!

[deselmes]

There were two more humorous moments in this match. The first was a Manchester bonus question about division algebra during which Hawken, Clark and Lavin all turned to Elliott who struggled to come up with an answer, prompting Paxman to go, "You're not doing much conferring." The second was when Durham answered "Tuscany" to each of three bonuses asking for the regions of Italian wines (getting it right third time), at which Paxman quipped, "Is Durham a teetotal institution?"

[shevek06]

VG to see this again - many thanks
