University Challenge.

0:00:190:00:21

Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:220:00:25

Hello. Boris Johnson once thought he'd insulted me

0:00:280:00:31

by calling me a swot.

0:00:310:00:32

But it's a rather treasured accolade for the two teams

0:00:320:00:35

competing in this second round match for a place in the quarterfinals.

0:00:350:00:38

Only one of them will go through -

0:00:380:00:40

for the losers, it'll be the final good night.

0:00:400:00:43

Now, the last time we saw them, the team from Newcastle University

0:00:430:00:46

put themselves on -5 with the first question.

0:00:460:00:50

But when they remembered that the object of the exercise

0:00:500:00:52

is to try to get things right,

0:00:520:00:54

they took the lead and managed to keep it throughout the entire match.

0:00:540:00:57

At the gong, they were ahead of their opponents,

0:00:570:00:59

Sheffield Hallam University, by a margin of 170 to a mere 40.

0:00:590:01:05

With an average age of 29, let's meet the Newcastle team again.

You had a good run there towards the end,

We shall look forward to seeing you in the quarterfinals.

Congratulations.

0:27:560:27:57

I hope you can join us next time for another second-round match,

0:27:570:28:00

but until then, it's goodbye from Southampton University.

0:28:000:28:02

-Goodbye.

-It's goodbye from Newcastle University.

-Goodbye.

0:28:020:28:05

And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
