University Challenge.

Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:210:00:24

Hello. It's something of a David and Goliath fixture tonight

0:00:270:00:31

as a university college takes on a redbrick university giant.

0:00:310:00:35

At stake is a place in the second round.

0:00:350:00:38

Lincoln College, Oxford was founded by Richard Fleming, the Bishop of Lincoln, in 1427,

0:00:380:00:43

and it's said to be Oxford's best preserved college

0:00:430:00:46

because its relative poverty over the centuries spared it

0:00:460:00:50

from much rebuilding or, as the freshers' handbook puts it,

0:00:500:00:53

"There are no grotty '60s annexes to spoil the pretty bits."

0:00:530:00:57

One of its traditions takes place on Ascension Day

0:00:570:00:59

when hot pennies are thrown off the tower to local schoolchildren,

0:00:590:01:02

apparently in order to teach them about greed.

0:01:020:01:05

What a pity those nice people at RBS didn't go to school there.

0:01:050:01:08

Alumni include John Wesley, the children's writer Dr Seuss

0:01:080:01:12

and the novelist John le Carre, who based the character of George Smiley

0:01:120:01:16

on Lincoln's rector, the historian Vivian Greene.

0:01:160:01:19

Representing around 600 students,

0:01:190:01:20

and with an average age of 23, let's meet the Lincoln team.

0:01:200:01:25

Hi, I'm Victor Jones.

0:01:250:01:27

I'm from South Africa and I'm reading for a doctorate in plant sciences.

0:01:270:01:31

Hi, I'm Michael Hopkins, originally from Haywards Heath in West Sussex

0:01:310:01:34

and I'm reading biochemistry.

0:01:340:01:36

-And their captain.

-Hi, I'm Jacqui Thompson.

0:01:360:01:38

I'm from Orange County, California

Hi, I'm Hugh Reid.

0:01:430:01:44

I'm from Winchester and I'm reading for a doctorate in history.

0:01:440:01:48

APPLAUSE

0:01:480:01:49

Manchester University traces its roots to the early 19th century

0:01:520:01:55

and today claims to be the largest single-site university in the UK,

0:01:550:01:59

with about 40,000 students.

0:01:590:02:02

It has a distinguished record on this programme,

0:02:020:02:04

having won the competition three times and it is, of course,

0:02:040:02:08

the current holder of the trophy.

0:02:080:02:10

Among its teaching staff have been the Nobel laureates Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr,

0:02:100:02:15

and among its students have been the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein,

0:02:150:02:18

the novelist Anthony Burgess and, more recently, the physicist Brian Cox, who's now a professor there.

0:02:180:02:24

Representing a student body over 60 times the size of their opponents tonight

0:02:240:02:29

and with an average age of 28, let's meet the Manchester team.

0:02:290:02:32

I'm from Kingston upon Thames and I study economics.

0:02:340:02:37

0:02:370:02:40

and I'm studying physics with astrophysics.

0:02:400:02:42

And this is their captain.

0:02:420:02:43

Hi, I'm Richard Gilbert.

0:02:430:02:45

I'm from Warwickshire and I'm studying linguistics.

0:02:450:02:48

Hi, I'm Debbie Brown.

0:02:480:02:49

I'm from Buxton in Derbyshire

0:02:490:02:51

and I'm studying for a PhD in pain epidemiology.

0:02:510:02:55

0:03:050:03:09

Fingers on the buzzer, here's your first starter for 10.

0:03:090:03:12

What was defined by Buckminster Fuller as a...

0:03:120:03:14

0:04:140:04:18

Firstly, this country's lands were united under Mindaugus in 1236.

0:04:180:04:22

Over the next century, through alliances and conquest,

0:04:220:04:25

it extended its territory to include most of the present-day Belarus and Ukraine.

0:04:250:04:30

Would that be, like, Moravia or...?

0:04:310:04:34

INAUDIBLE

0:04:340:04:36

-Silesia?

-It's Moravia, I think.
