The time loop category gave me that ever-so-rare opportunity to shout at my monitor an answer the team didn't know. (I haven't played Returnal, though; I don't own a powerful enough system!)
While Amol Rajan’s ties are striking, I think it might be better if he wore ones that were not orange-hued a bit more often. (He has several different orange ones but, after a while, they sort of all merge together into one.) Perhaps a plum- or burgundy-colored one would be nice.
Sorry, but since when has it been acceptable for University challenge to ask questions concerned with video games? Has the gene pool gone awry or something?
Well done to Manchester, although they drew out their deliberations a bit too much. Disappointed for Edinburgh, a very likeable team. Great match! Roll on next Monday ! Thanks.
Did I just hear the word Megadeth spoken on an episode of University Challenge? How I wish I was that contestant during that music round (I didn't actually know the Napalm Death answer. I guessed Venom which was a pretty good guess as it turns out).
Not impossible that the Edinburgh team's very high score in round 1 was due less to superior skills and more to weak opponents, 'cause this was not far from a drubbing. They just made it to 105 points.
Manchester looking really strong. Let's not forget that they defeated Trinity Cambridge, a team that returned as part of best team losers and that recently won agaisnt two strong teams

Amol breaks out the monogrammed cuffs. Big Stylee!
"tight contest"???
It was a walkover.
I bet the guy with the hat on will look back on this in ten years and cringe😂
It hurts to see my alma mater lose, but fair do's to Manchester.
pulling for Manchester this season. the trans bee mascot and de los Reyes-White's hat pins are excellent
Well done Manchester team..💐
So much wokeness and niceness, absolutely fucking love it!
Great match!! Thanks dear CP for our weekly dose of fantasticness!

A heavy metal set, finally. Unexpected result overall, but very well played!
It's almost bizarre that such young boys know Napalm Death. How can it be possible?

"A bit like this program" was very smooth by Amol Rajan.

Apologies for publishing these late. Life got busy this week.
I think the quizmaster gave Manchester too much time to answer their bonuses.
