Hello again! This game was notable in that both team captains were non-Britons. Don't know if I've ever seen that before, certainly not recently. The winners of this match were never in doubt. The losing team made a game of it in the middle, but the winning team more than met the challenge. The only question was if the losing team could score at least 125 to have a chance to come back. My best to both teams, and to each individual
Despard's haircut took me back to the late 70s/early 80s, so I watched a couple of episodes from 83/84. UC has definitely got harder, especially the STEM questions. These kids are impressive.
I am always disappointed that any question remotely related to Scotland is usually met with a stunned silence. Shocked that Bonnie Prince Charlie was answered, but 'Mons Meg'? Come on, only in Edinburgh!
Lively match.. congratulations to both teams, especially the winners. Bethlehem (( wonderful name!) did Christ,s proud. Very knowledgeable young man. Thanks C.P. !
I think my comment is going to get lost in the crowd. Bethlehem (Brendan) is a very good friend of mine who has worked so hard for this moment – an absolute angel of a person. I am so proud of him and will treasure seeing him watch it live forever. ❤
Thanks Cosmic P! Christ's did pretty well on starters but their fairly low bonus question stats (<58%) might let them down against some of the Bigger Guns!
8:24 minor linguistic gripe here but in Amol’s correction I’m pretty sure the past perfect would be“I am glad to have had a fox friend” rather than “glad I had a fox friend” – the past perfect in Spanish requires an auxiliary verb, right?
EDIT: leaving my own error in, but the clause in question is in the present perfect, not the past perfect. Either way it would have an auxiliary verb and I think Amol is missing a word in his correction, hahah.
The person doesn't know the difference between "composed for" and "dedicated to" and rejects an answer based on a verb form? It's not the first instance of misinformation in this questions. I was sure we'll hear Schosti in this round.

wonderful episode congratulations to both teams. You are young and brilliant. Thanks CP for bringing this us this episodes.
Has anyone appeared in more than one series? Given you are at university at least 3 years unless the rules prevent it, surely somebody would?

Good match. Felt like both teams were really carried by the two guys in the middle.

Love that Despard looks like a Weasley brother.
I didn't know the Weasleys did UC
The foreigners from first world, USA, Ireland, and Netherlands, always say where they are from. Indians and Chinese always say they are from the UK.

Firman looks Indonesian (not to mention the name), but I might be wrong. Not surprised since there's tons of Indonesian descendants there though

Poor Gray, he was so nervous that his French pronunciations sounded kind of butchered. He knew the answers though!

my sister has studied all of these pieces on the piano (starting 15:49) and yet I could name exactly none of them 😢
