I absolutely love difficult quizzes. What's the point in watching the dumb ones (most of them) and not learning anything…. On average I answer half of the questions on UC, but with the others I learn something and try to retain the info x thanks for putting this onto yt much appreciated as I try to drift off to sleep every night xxx 😊
5:46 There is a plot twist as Archer was not murdered but turns out to be one of the villains. Viewers of UC are not dippy enough to have missed the Bogart film.
Now, I don't know why, but I kinda guessed correctly on many of these questions.. Shocked myself. I am not British, so I struggle with British geography which wasn't a category this time..💃I loved both of these teams and am happy to see them again. Thanks CP!

An improvement for me — my best score yet with 4 starters and 14 bonus questions, surpassing my previous best of 4 starters and 9 bonuses from Bath vs City St Georges. This is my high score in my 4th match since I started tracking my own score
This was a really entertaining match. Love to see the confidence of the players build up as they get questions. Was happy for Morley when he got that question! I could see he was about a tenth of a second later than Kim on the IS-LM y-axis question; I expected LSE to get that first. Both teams were excellent. I really did think LSE would catch up – perhaps given another 5 minutes they would – but given their score I do hope we can see them again. Thank you for uploading.
I don't often get to see the 'new' editions, and the sole reason is Rajan. His delivery, including on his many radio slots, is often sloppy and demotic. Here, though, the LSE team struggled with one obscure answer, so threw in (Popa). Rajan's derisory snigger at this was unnecessary. Paxman would have had more class.

Unusually for me, I got a whole round right, perhaps the easiest one. Guessed Happy Together by the Turtles, as that seemed most likely for the film's subject matter. Unfortunately, lost my bet yet again that whether or not the two teams would get up and shake hands at the end. These seemed like favourites for the series to do this, but no, nothing 😁

Minnesota mentioned 🎉🎉🎉
I don’t even understand the questions, let alone know the answers, but I very much enjoy the show.

McLellan-Cassivi if you happen to read this, you are so lovely.
Only just catching up after a few days away in Cambridge 😁
Brilliant match 👏
Didnt want either team to lose 😢
Thank you as always CP 😘
The game between Birmingham and Leicester should have been broadcast. The BBC favours Oxbridge.

I like their both leaders, but the one with white shirt really need to alter his necj, it look delusional
Looks like Shukla ran a lawn-mower over his eyebrows before the match.
