OK, I'm going to go on record now and say I wasn't actually as bad as I've made out in this edit. I got a bit carried away with the music and the pacing and thought it was funny. However it's backfired as I look rubbish and I'm constantly having to explain to people who watch the video that I DID score points!

The boring bit:

Liverpool John Moores vs. Leeds (eventual semi-finalists). Filmed June 14th, 2002 @ Granada Studios, Manchester. Transmitted October 2002.

  • quick question, are you actually top 4 at that uni or just people who want to be on the show, im just wondering as ive always wanted to knopw ^^.

  • Hi ry91an, yeah we're the top 4 as determined from a general knowledge test. Well, top 5 - a reserve is picked on standby too. Different unis have different ways of picking their teams, but this is the most common method.

    Once you've got a team you have to be in the top 28 of the 250 or so who enter each year. Easier said than done when half the teams are usually Oxbridge colleges! The production team run auditions with a harder general knowledge test at this stage.

  • Thanks for all the nice comments from people!

  • Look at the grin on Paxman's face when he says "Marmite is right". It's my redemption; a new dawn. If that game was 55 hours long we'd have won and that would have been the turning point.

  • I don't quite understand how such a rakish young waif could grow into such a bulbous, bespectacled behemothic blob in just 9 short years. The transformation from beautiful, preening flower into epic planet-eater is unimaginable. And you're crap at scoring points, Laycock.

  • John Moore's Laycock !!!!

    LMAO!!

    XD

  • Great editing! I love the format of Uni challenge. It was exciting quiz TV long before Who Wants to Be Millionaire came along.

  • Cool, but do you know the answer to the following question: How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
