University Challenge.

0:00:190:00:20

Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:220:00:24

Hello.

0:00:280:00:29

The 2016-2017 University Challenge begins tonight as we meet

0:00:290:00:34

the first two of the 28 teams who will be entertaining us

0:00:340:00:38

over the coming months.

0:00:380:00:39

They will be drawn from all over the world, Salford to Sichuan,

0:00:390:00:42

studying everything from the Vikings to new ways of X-raying cheese.

0:00:420:00:47

They'll all be here to fight for the honour of their university or

0:00:470:00:50

university college

0:00:500:00:51

and for the right to call themselves series champions.

0:00:510:00:54

Now, one of the original red bricks, Sheffield University was

0:00:540:00:57

founded by Edward VII and now has around 27,000 students.

0:00:570:01:02

Among those who studied there are the novelists Lee Child

0:01:020:01:05

and Hilary Mantel, the Olympian Jessica Ennis-Hill,

0:01:050:01:08

the Nobel laureate Sir Harry Kroto

0:01:080:01:11

and the politician David Blunkett, who now holds a professorship there.

0:01:110:01:14

Scarcely less distinguished than the four who took Sheffield to

0:01:140:01:17

the final match of our last Christmas series for alumni.

0:01:170:01:21

Let's see if tonight's team of students,

0:01:210:01:23

with an average age of 23, can do as well or maybe even better.

0:01:230:01:28

Hi, I'm Amy Fedeski, I'm from Solihull,

0:01:280:01:31

and I'm studying history and politics.

0:01:310:01:33

Hello, I'm Jack Lewis, I'm from Sheffield and I'm studying biology.

0:01:330:01:36

-And here's their captain.

-Hello, I'm Edward Pemberton,

0:01:360:01:38

I'm originally from Stroud in Gloucestershire

0:01:380:01:40

and I'm studying economics and politics.

0:01:400:01:43

Hi, I'm Ben Cotton, and from Haworth, West Yorkshire,

0:01:430:01:45

and I'm studying physics and astrophysics.

0:01:450:01:47

APPLAUSE

0:01:470:01:50

Playing them, the University of Bristol.

0:01:510:01:53

It received its Royal Charter in 1909 after endowments

0:01:530:01:57

from the Wills and Fry families and now has around 21,000 students.

0:01:570:02:02

Alumni include the writer and creator of The Gruffalo,

0:02:020:02:05

Julia Donaldson, the performers Matt Lucas, David Walliams

0:02:050:02:09

and Simon Pegg and the novelist David Nicholls,

0:02:090:02:11

who fictionalised his experiences there in the catchily titled novel

0:02:110:02:16

Starter for Ten.

0:02:160:02:17

Bristol crashed out of the last series in the first round,

0:02:170:02:20

so hoping to improve on that and with an average age of 24,

0:02:200:02:24

let's meet the Bristol team.

0:02:240:02:26

Hi, I'm Joe Rolleston, I'm from Tamworth in Staffordshire

0:02:390:02:43

Hi, I'm Michael Tomsett, I'm from Hinckley in Leicestershire

0:02:430:02:46

and I'm doing a PhD in organic chemistry.

0:02:460:02:48

APPLAUSE

0:02:480:02:50

Well, you all know the rules.

0:02:530:02:54

I'll just remind you of the significant danger that

0:02:540:02:57

if you interrupt a starter question incorrectly,

0:02:570:02:59

you lose the five points automatically.

0:02:590:03:02

So fingers on the buzzers, here's your first starter for ten.

0:03:020:03:05

Meanings of what four-letter word include the excrement

0:03:050:03:08

of an earthworm, a rigid casing immobilising a broken bone...?

0:03:080:03:12

-Cast.

-Cast is correct, yes.

0:03:130:03:16

APPLAUSE

0:03:160:03:18

You get the first bonuses, Bristol, they're on novels.

0:03:180:03:21

Dorothy Hare is the title character of which early

0:03:210:03:25

Is it The Clergyman's Daughter?

0:03:290:03:31

0:03:330:03:34

A Clergyman's Daughter is correct.

0:03:340:03:36

"What business had she, a renegade clergyman's daughter,

0:03:360:03:40

"to turn up her nose at you?"

0:03:400:03:42

In which novel of 1855 does Mrs Thornton speak those words

0:03:420:03:47

referring to Margaret Hale?

0:03:470:03:48

Is it Hardy?

0:03:560:03:57

Hale...

0:03:570:03:59

-Mayor of Casterbridge something?

-Mayor of Casterbridge?

0:04:000:04:03

No, it's North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell.

0:04:030:04:06

And finally, "What vile creatures her parsons are."

0:04:060:04:09

These words of the theologian John Henry Newman refer to

0:04:090:04:13

the novels of which clergyman's daughter who was born in 1775?

0:04:130:04:17

0:04:190:04:22

0:04:220:04:26

"but sacred scripture tells us

0:04:260:04:28

"that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still and..."

0:04:280:04:31

-Galileo.

-I'm afraid you lose five points.

0:04:320:04:35

"..commanded the sun to stand still and not the earth."

0:04:350:04:38

These words of Martin Luther refer to which astronomer

0:04:490:04:53

From the Greek for turning, what seven-letter term denotes the response or orientation

0:04:530:04:57

of a plant or lower animal to an environmental stimulus?

0:04:570:05:01

-Maybe something like trophism?

-Trophism?

0:05:060:05:09

No, it's tro-pism.

0:05:090:05:11

Secondly, the tap-root systems of carrots and beets grow vertically

0:05:110:05:15

downwards and are positive examples of what form of tropism?

0:05:150:05:19

Water, so would you say like

0:05:230:05:26

hydrophilic maybe?

0:05:260:05:29

Hydrophilic? Hydrophilic.

0:05:290:05:31

No, it's geotropism.

0:05:310:05:33

And, finally, geotropism can mask another form of tropism,

0:05:330:05:37

that of directed growth in response to water or moisture gradients.

0:05:370:05:41

What name is given to that form of tropism?

0:05:410:05:44

-Try it.

-Yeah, I'd say hydro...tropism maybe.

0:05:440:05:48

-The gilded age.

-Correct.

0:06:270:06:29

APPLAUSE

0:06:290:06:31

So you get a set of bonuses on the study of community.

0:06:330:06:36

Firstly, for five points, in 1916,

0:06:360:06:39

the US social reformer LJ Hanifan popularised what two-word term

0:06:390:06:44

to describe intangibles such as good will, fellowship and sympathy?

0:06:440:06:49

-I think social capital. Do you think?

-Yeah.

0:06:490:06:53

-Social capital?

-Correct.

0:06:530:06:54

The political scientist Robert D Putnam described

0:06:540:06:58

the decay of social capital in US society in an essay of 1995,

0:06:580:07:03

its title referring to what recreational activity being

0:07:030:07:06

conducted alone?

0:07:060:07:08

-Bowling.

-Correct, tenpin bowling.

0:07:080:07:10

In 1996, Putnam established a seminar initiative at Harvard

0:07:100:07:14

named after which cactus, native to Arizona, California

0:07:140:07:17

and north Mexico, on the basis that both, quote,

0:07:170:07:21

"Take a long time to develop and then serve lots of unexpected purposes"?

0:07:210:07:27

I don't know any cactuses.

0:07:270:07:29

-The Joshua tree? Joshua tree? Joshua tree.

-No, it's saguarp.

0:07:290:07:34

Ten points for this.

Often used colloquially as a term of affection or approbation,

0:07:350:07:40

what term is formed by concatenating to the chemical symbols of

0:07:400:07:43

0:07:430:07:46

below strontium and above magnesium?

0:07:460:07:49

-Babe.

-Babe is correct, yes, it's barium and beryllium, of course.

0:07:570:08:01

Well done. APPLAUSE

0:08:010:08:03

Took a while but you got there. Your bonuses are on icebergs, Bristol.

0:08:040:08:08

What name is given to the process by which large pieces of ice

0:08:080:08:11

-become detached from glaciers or ice shelves to form icebergs?

-Carving.

0:08:110:08:16

-Carving.

-Carving is correct.

0:08:170:08:20

Often formed from larger icebergs, what two-word term denotes

0:08:200:08:24

smaller ice pieces still visible on the surface of the sea?

0:08:240:08:27

They are usually between one and five metres high.

0:08:270:08:31

Probably ice flow? Do you think?

0:08:310:08:33

Yeah, when they're little pieces floating through.

0:08:330:08:35

-I would go with that.

-Ice flow.

0:08:350:08:38

No, they're called Bergy Bits, apparently.

0:08:380:08:40

And, finally, what name is given to even smaller iceberg remnants

0:08:400:08:44

that are usually less than a metre high and are often almost

0:08:440:08:47

completely submerged below the surface of the sea?

0:08:470:08:50

They share their name with that of the village constable

0:08:500:08:52

in the Rupert the Bear stories.

0:08:520:08:55

-What's he called?

-No idea.

0:08:560:08:58

Pass.

0:09:010:09:02

They're Growlers. We're going to take a picture round.

0:09:020:09:05

For your picture starter, you'll see a map of London showing

0:09:050:09:08

the locations of the London Underground stations

0:09:080:09:11

-Jubilee line.

-It is the Jubilee line, yes.

0:09:180:09:20

APPLAUSE

0:09:200:09:24

So for your picture bonuses, you're going to see

0:09:240:09:26

the locations of the stations of three more London Underground lines.

0:09:260:09:30

Five points for each you can identify. Firstly.

0:09:300:09:33

-Victoria.

-Victoria.

-Victoria Line.

0:09:360:09:39

That's right. Secondly.

0:09:390:09:41

-Is that Northern?

-Central, isn't it?

0:09:430:09:45

It's not the Central cos the Central goes out of London.

0:09:450:09:47

-That's Hammersmith and City.

-Hammersmith and City?

0:09:470:09:51

Correct. And, finally.

0:09:510:09:52

It is the Circle line, yes. A bit of a giveaway that.

0:09:560:09:59

APPLAUSE

0:09:590:10:01

Right, you've taken the lead

by Stensen's duct...

0:10:120:10:16

Submandibular?

0:10:160:10:18

No, I'm afraid you lose five points.

0:10:180:10:19

They are on words made by adding a single letter to

0:13:490:13:52

the end of a scientific term.

0:13:520:13:54

Volt and...is it Volta? Would it be?

0:14:280:14:31

West Africa? Erm, yeah, go for that.

0:14:310:14:34

Volt and Volta.

Correct, well done.

0:14:350:14:37

APPLAUSE

0:14:370:14:38

Time for a music round. We're going to hear a music starter,

0:14:400:14:42
