The best host of University challenge
Monkman was brilliant but Morley was brillianter
Everybody hates Monkman!!!!
I can't believe you didn't include "Hapax Legomenon", "Wednesday" or "1 6 15 20 15 6 1"
The bloke @0:35 looks exactly like Sheldon lol!
Its very funny that they were only able to find 1:30 of bits in the whole show
How did I never know boris Johnson was on university challenge?
Whats the answer to the last one?
HAPAXLAGONAMANON
Rather disappointed not to see ‘Cheesemongers, Bob’s Own and the Immortals’ mentioned here 😂
Any top five MUST include the cheesemongers answer
“Inspector Cluseau” 😂😂😂😂😂
Paxo was useless on University Challenge. Bamber was miles better.
I remember I got a question correct once and felt like the smartest person alive….. then the rest of the quiz humbled me and showed how poor my education was.
Monkman and Goldman were legends. Paxman, thank you for your service sir!!

Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree?
Bring back Paxman !!!
I'm going to miss him terribly. He really had some amazing zingers, especially when he was a little faster. The glimpses of his old self we've seen in the last few years were bittersweet – "that's enough from the Uzbek tourist board" (or something like that), etc.
Really missed some classics never watching an episode of that…
3×3 vibes with Morley (question is also in 3×3 – surely not a coincidence).
Best of luck to Jeremy on his retirement. I wouldn’t wish Parkinson’s on my worst enemy.
Life will never be the same again, we've been watching UC since Dave Garda (thanks Dave) started posting episodes on YT and Paxman has become like a member of the family. Being Australian this is really the only thing Jeremy is known for, apart from his interview with David Bowie. Looking forward to watching the final of finals and I hope he's going to do the Christmas specials one last time.
I will always remember you.
“It’s housed in Italy…somewhere…”
Oh, Saint Monkman 😂😂😂
