Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
Hello. Tonight's match sees the beginning | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
of the quarterfinal stage of this contest, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
compared to which the winter term at Dotheboys Hall | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
is like a fortnight in Magaluf. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
The eight teams still in contention | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
are Somerville College, Oxford, Queen's University, Belfast, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
Clare College, Cambridge, Southampton University, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Cardiff University, the School of Oriental and African Studies, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
and tonight's teams, Trinity College, Cambridge | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
and Manchester University. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
From now on, we're making the questions harder | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
and the rules more brutal. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
To get to the semifinals, a team must win two matches. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
A team that loses two matches goes home. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
A team that loses one match and wins another must play again and win | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
to stay in the contest. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
Now, in their first-round match, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Trinity College, Cambridge won by 300 points | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
to Christ Church, Oxford's 150, and in the second round, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
they beat Peterhouse, Cambridge with 240 points to 110. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
This was despite taking a while to wake up. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
But when they did, they impressed us with their knowledge of presidents | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
of the Royal Society, national anthems and Ivy League universities. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
With an accumulated score of 540 points so far, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
let's meet the Trinity College, Cambridge team for the third time. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |

have had victories in round one against Brasenose College, Oxford, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
with 215 points to 105, and in round two, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
when they beat Queens' College, Cambridge by 325 points to 110. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
On that occasion, they excelled on Neo-Palladian architecture, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
the Palme d'Or and Chancellors of the Exchequer. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Pleasingly, their accumulated score of 540 points is | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
the same as their opponents tonight, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
so this might be a pretty even match. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |

the Chandrasekhar limit, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
