00:00Hello and welcome to University Challenge.
00:21Asking the questions, Anne-Laurent Roger.
00:24Hello and welcome to University Challenge,
00:30where two more teams are about to face off
00:32for one of the few remaining places in the second round.
00:35A win guarantees qualification,
00:37but there may still be hope for the losing team,
00:39provided they can score at least 145 points,
00:43which would put them, for the moment, in a repercharge place.
00:47What's now Harper-Adams University was founded in 1901,
00:50following a bequest from landowner Thomas Harper-Adams
00:53for the creation of an institution
00:55that taught theoretical and practical agriculture.
00:58It's since expanded its remit to include subjects
01:01such as engineering and veterinary science.
01:03When it gained university status in 2012,
01:05it became the only university in Shropshire
01:08and its notable alumni include the cricketer Boyd Rankin,
01:11politician Sarah Dyke and animal behaviourist Barbara Woodhouse.
01:15Tonight marks not only Harper-Adams' first appearance on this programme,
01:19but the first appearance of any agricultural university.
01:22Let's then meet the first ever team from Harper-Adams
01:25on University Challenge.
01:27Hello, my name is Alistair Ward.
01:29I'm from Suffolk and I'm studying rural enterprise and land management.
01:33Hi, my name's Rachel Henderson.
01:35I'm from Preston and I'm studying a PhD in fish immunology.
01:38And their captain.
01:40Hi, I'm John Owen. I'm originally from Chester
01:42and I'm studying for a PhD in entomology.
01:45Hi, I'm Will Jones. I'm from South East London
01:47and I'm studying for a master in automotive engineering.
01:50APPLAUSE
01:52The University of Strathclyde has its origins in an endowment
01:58made by natural philosopher John Anderson in 1796
02:01for a place of, quote, useful learning.
02:04It was designated as the UK's first technological university in 1964,
02:08at which time it was producing 10% of all students in Britain
02:12with university-level technology qualifications.
02:15Former students include John Logie Baird, Annabel Goldie
02:18and Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Capranos.
02:21And this is Strathclyde's 12th time on University Challenge
02:24with their best performance to date being a quarter-final finish in 2021.
02:28Let's meet the team representing it tonight.
02:31Hi, I'm Matthew Johnston. I'm from Dumfries and Galloway
02:34and I'm studying chemistry.
02:35Hi, my name's Kate Loughrey. I'm from Glasgow
02:38and I'm studying a master's in diplomacy and international security.
02:42And their captain.
02:43Hey, I'm Jack Sterling from Inverness studying chemical engineering.
02:46Hi, I'm Tom McHugh. I'm from Glasgow and I'm studying mechanical engineering.
02:54Well, a very warm welcome to you all
02:55and a welcome for the first time to Harper Adams.
02:57Good luck. Fingers on buzzers. Here's your first starter for 10.
03:01What single word title is shared by two films
03:05on the American Film Institute's list of the top 10 gangster films of all time?
03:10One is a 1932 film directed by Howard Hawks and starring Paul Mooney as Antonio Camonte.
03:16The other is a 1983 film directed by Brian De Palma and starring...
03:21Strathclyde Sterling.
03:22Scarface.
03:23It is Scarface, yes.
03:25Your bonuses then Strathclyde are questions on records broken at the 2024 UEFA Men's European Football Championship.
03:33Which winger became both the youngest player to appear at the Euros
03:37when he started his country's opening group game against Croatia
03:40and the youngest player ever to score at the Euros when he scored against France in the semifinals?
03:45Yamal.
03:46It is Lamine Yamal. His dad's younger than me which is terrifying.
03:49Which defender set a new record for the oldest player to appear in the tournament
03:53beating the previous record by more than a year?
03:55He was 41 years and 130 days old
03:58when he played in his country's quarter-final defeat against France.
04:02Did he lose to France in the quarter-finals?
04:04I don't know. I can't remember.
04:06He was ancient though.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Did he win the quarter-finals?
04:10I don't know. I think they might have.
04:12Pepe.
04:13Yes.
04:14Which Croatian midfielder became the oldest player to score at the European Championships
04:18when he scored against Italy in the group stage aged 38 years and 289 days?
04:23Modric.
04:24Where's the great Luka Modric?
04:25Yes.
04:26What two-word phrase links the following?
04:29A British electronic music group that formed following a lecture given by Delia Derbyshire
04:34and made the 1969 album An Electric Storm
04:37and a 1985 novel that recounts the Gladney family's response
04:42to the so-called airborne toxic event written by Don DeLillo.
04:46Both derive from a term used in electrical engineering
04:50for a signal that is uniform in energy over equal intervals of frequency,
04:55which in audio technology results in a continuous hiss.
04:59noise?
05:00No.
05:01Anyone from Strathclyde?
05:02You may not confer.
05:03Strathclyde Johnston.
05:04Distortion.
05:05No.
05:06Bad luck.
05:07It's white noise.
05:08We needed the two-word term.
05:10Bad luck.
05:11Let's start with a question.
05:12For over 18 years, Andrew Marvell sat in Parliament as the MP for which city?
05:18Also the birthplace of the poets Elsa Gidlow and Stevie Smith.
05:22A collection of Smith's works and manuscripts were purchased following her death by this city's
05:26university, where Philip Larkin worked as...
05:28Strathclyde Sterling.
05:29Hull.
05:30Hull.
05:31It is Hull.
05:32Yes.
05:33Larkin was a librarian there for 30 years.
05:35Your bonuses then, Strathclyde, are on cultural figures depicted in works by Salvador Dali.
05:40Which American actor, born in 1928, is depicted as a Sphinx in a 1939 work by Dali?
05:47The work's title describes her as the youngest, most sacred monster of the cinema in her time.
05:53I think that's Shirley Temple.
05:55I think Shirley Temple?
05:56Yes.
05:57A late work by Dali has the title, Painting of Gala, Looking at the Mediterranean Sea,
06:02which from a distance of 20 metres is transformed into a portrait of...
06:06Which US President?
06:07It was influenced by an image created by Leon Harmon at Bell Labs.
06:15Like 20s?
06:16Well, Dali's like...
06:17I mean, like 20s onwards, sorry.
06:19They were allowed to sort of like after the war, weren't they?
06:22Drew Wilson or something?
06:23No.
06:24Did you just have anything?
06:25No.
06:26Come on.
06:27Woodrow Wilson?
06:28No, it's Abraham Lincoln.
06:29One of Dali's double image paintings depicts a slave market with, quote,
06:33apparition of the invisible bust of which French Enlightenment figure?
06:38Voltaire?
06:39Maybe?
06:40Yeah, could be.
06:41Voltaire?
06:42It is Voltaire, yes.
06:43Let's start the question.
06:44Introduced by its namesake in the 19th century, Tissot's Indicatrix is a mathematical tool used in what specific field of applied science to visualise the distortion caused by projection of a spherical image onto a flat surface?
07:00Other famous practitioners in this field include the Fleming's Abraham Ortelius and Gerardus Mercator.
07:06Strathclyde McHugh.
07:08Cartography?
07:09It is cartography, yes.
07:10Well done.
07:11Your bonuses, Strathclyde, three questions on the American molecular biologist Nancy Hopkins.
07:16With the Latin binomial Darnio Rerio, what model organism has Hopkins used to study the roles of various genes in development and cancer progression?
07:27This organism is so named for the striped pattern on its scales.
07:34Melanoma.
07:35Melanoma related.
07:36Skin cancer.
07:38Melanoma molecule from skin cancer.
07:41Nominate Johnson.
07:42Is it melanoma?
07:43No, it's zebrafish.
07:45Hopkins' early research looked at the effect of so-called enhancers on what cellular process, which involves the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template?
07:58Synthesis of RNA?
08:00What's that called?
08:01I can't remember.
08:02This is so hard.
08:03If I hold him on...
08:08Mapping?
08:10Mapping?
08:11Mapping?
08:12No, it's transcription.
08:13Hopkins played a key role in the move to re-examine gender equity in American academic science in the 1990s, in part from her activism at which New England institution, where she became professor in 1973?
08:26Harvard.
08:27Harvard.
08:28Harvard.
08:29No, it's MIT.
08:30Another starting question.
08:31Picture round now.
08:32And for your picture starter, you'll see a map.
08:34For ten points, tell me the name of the federal state marked on the map.
08:39Stratheglyde Stirling.
08:40Saxony.
08:41It is Saxony, yes.
08:42For your bonuses then, that was the German state of Saxony, the federal state that gives its name to the Saxony duck.
08:50For your picture bonuses, Stratheglyde, you'll see three maps indicating cities or towns that also share their names with breeds of duck.
08:57And you'll see a picture of the duck in each case as well.
09:00Five points for each city or town you can name.
09:03First, this French regional capital.
09:06Erm...
09:07Where are we?
09:08We're in the north.
09:09Is that Rhône?
09:10Yeah, it's a bit north of Paris, isn't Rhône?
09:12Or Metz?
09:13No, not Metz.
09:14No, Metz is further east.
09:15I'd go with Rhône.
09:16Rhône?
09:17Correct, yes.
09:18Next, this Italian city also serving as its region's capital.
09:22Oh, this is in...
09:24Is it Marche?
09:25The east...
09:27I don't know if it's here.
09:28I don't know if it's...
09:29Does anyone recognise the duck?
09:31No.
09:33Come on.
09:34Erm...
09:35Marche.
09:36It's Ancona.
09:37Finally, this UK county town.
09:39Erm...
09:40This is...
09:41Buckinghamshire, yes.
09:43What's the county of Milton Keynes or something like that?
09:45Buckinghamshire is probably what I went for.
09:47Yeah, we know, but it's the town.
09:48Oh, sorry.
09:49Cambridge Keynes.
09:50I've never heard of that.
09:52Erm...
09:53Not the Keynes.
09:54No, it's Aylesbury, which is in Buckinghamshire.
09:56Bad luck.
09:57Plenty of time, Harper Adams.
09:58See if we can get going with this one.
09:59It's a quote.
10:00The Peace Prize laureate's seat is empty.
10:02It won't be his voice we hear.
10:03Let us therefore try even harder to listen to the silent speech
10:06from his empty place.
10:08This quote, taken from a speech given at the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize
10:12ceremony, was made in reference to which laureate,
10:15described later in the speech as having raised a burning torch
10:18in the name of solidarity, in reference to a trade union
10:21he had co-founded.
10:22Harper Adams.
10:23Oh, him.
10:24Lech Fuenzer.
10:25Yes.
10:26Well done.
10:27Right, your bonuses then, Harper Adams, are three questions
10:30on Chinese political slogans.
10:32Dare to think, dare to act, was a slogan of what social
10:36and economic campaign launched in 1958.
10:39It led to disruption of agricultural production and contributed
10:42to a serious famine.
10:44Is that the Great Leap Forward?
10:47Yeah.
10:48Great Leap Forward?
10:49Yeah.
10:50The Great Leap Forward?
10:51Yes.
10:52Smash the four olds, these being old ideas, customs, culture
10:55and habits, was a slogan of what movement in which Mao
10:58attempted to re-establish his authority from 1966?
11:02The Cultural Revolution?
11:07Yes.
11:08During a power struggle after Mao's death in 1976,
11:11propaganda slogans called for the destruction of what anti-party
11:14clique that included Mao's widow, Jiang Qing?
11:18I need a three-word term here.
11:21I was going to say intellectuals, but I can't.
11:24I don't know.
11:25The intellectual party or something?
11:27The intellectual party?
11:28The intellectual party.
11:29The intellectual party?
11:30No, it's the Gang of Four.
11:32Let's start the question.
11:33The Burmese salad dish, Larpet Thok, has as its central ingredient
11:38the fermented leaves of which plant?
11:40This dish is a rare example of a preparation that treats these leaves
11:43as vegetables to be eaten.
11:45Around the world, they are much more commonly steeped to make a drink.
11:50Harper Adams, Henderson.
11:51Tea leaves?
11:52It is tea leaves.
11:53Well done, yes.
11:55Your bonuses then, Harper Adams, are three questions
11:58on the Scottish film director, Kevin MacDonald.
12:00In 2004, MacDonald won the BAFTA for best British film
12:04for which docudrama?
12:06It concerns Joe Simpson and Simon Yates' near-fatal descent
12:09from the first successful ascent of the west face of Ciula Grande.
12:15Sorry, we have to pass.
12:17That's touching the void.
12:18Which musician is the subject of a 2012 biographical film by MacDonald?
12:22Interviewees include his one-time bandmate Neville Bunny-Livingston
12:25and record producer Chris Blackwell.
12:31Scottish band, maybe?
12:33Sorry, pass.
12:34That was my hero, Bob Marley.
12:37MacDonald's recent films include a 2024 documentary about which
12:40former heavyweight boxer who was elected mayor of Kyiv in 2014?
12:44I need both given name and surname here.
12:46Chuck Kitsky, isn't it?
12:48One of the Ukrainian brothers.
12:50Chuck Kitsky, which one?
12:52Oh, I don't know, I can't remember.
12:54Chuck Kitsky?
12:55Chuck Kitsky?
12:56Uh...

12:58Um...
12:59Ivor?
13:00Ivor?
13:01I can't remember.
13:02Ivan Klitschko.
13:03Ivan Klitschko.
13:04Bad luck.
13:05It was Vitaly Klitschko, brother of Vladimir.
13:07Bad luck.
13:08Fingers on buzzers.
13:09Here's another starter question.
13:10Which US state was the location of all of these?

13:17Strathclyde Sterling.
13:18Pennsylvania.
13:19It is Pennsylvania.
13:20Well done.
13:21Please notice a few Strathclyde on female antagonists in the Bible.
13:25After dancing for her stepfather at a banquet,
13:28Salome is given the opportunity to ask for anything up to the value of half his kingdom.
13:34Encouraged by her mother, what does she request?
13:37Isn't it John the Baptist's head on a platter?
13:40Nominate Lockery.
13:41John the Baptist's head on a platter.
13:43Exactly right.
13:44Which woman, wife of King Ahab and a worshipper of the cult of Baal,
13:49orders the death of the prophets of Yahweh,
13:52prompting the prophet Elijah to slay Baal's prophets in turn.
13:55In the book of Revelation, her name is used to refer to an immoral woman
13:59who refers to herself as a prophet.
14:02Is this like Doris or something?
14:03Is it Jezebel?
14:04Jezebel.
14:05Do you think?
14:06Are you sure?
14:07I don't know.
14:08I would go with Jezebel.
14:09Jezebel.
14:10Jezebel.
14:11Yes.
14:12Delilah.
14:13It is Delilah, yeah.
14:14Music round now.
14:15For your music starter, you're going to hear a piece of popular music.
14:17For ten points, I need you to name either the group performing or its lead singer.
14:31We've learned the day that we got to learn to be with each other.
14:38No, no matter what a race, critical love.
14:46I just can't be doing it.
14:48Operatums Owen.
14:49Jodie Mitchell.
14:50No, you're going to hear a bit more Strathclyde, but not that much.
14:52The world needs match, the world needs love.
14:56It's love and understanding.
14:58Strathclyde Lockery.
14:59Diana Ross.
15:00It's Gladys Knight and the Pips.
15:02We'll take your music bonuses in a second.
15:04Coined by Conrad Waddington in 1942 in his description of how one genotype can give rise
15:11to many different kinds of cell, which word is now generally used to denote persistent,
15:16sometimes heritable information that does not involve a change in the DNA sequence?
15:22Examples include DNA methylation, histone modifications and small RNAs.
15:28Stratclyde Sterling.
15:30Lipid.
15:31No, you may not confer Harper-Adams.
15:33Anyone want to have a go?
15:35Anyone want to go?
15:36Harper-Adams Ward.

17:50It is golf, yes.
17:51Your bonuses then, Strathclyde, are three questions on metaphor and analogy in 20th century science.
17:57Todd's syndrome is a neurological disorder in which objects appear distorted or to be larger
18:03or smaller than they really are.
18:05It's also named after which 19th century fictional character and known by the abbreviation A-I-W-S?
18:12Like, 19th century fictional character?
18:16Like, it's just like a Dickens character.
18:18I'm over my way off here.
18:20It might be, but it can be A-I-W-S.
18:23Like, it's just A.
18:25Come on.
18:26Um, Oliver Twist.
18:28For A-I-W-S.
18:29That's, no, it's Alice in Wonderland syndrome.
18:31In 1936, the US psychologist, Saul Rosenzweig, proposed a conjecture by which all forms of psychotherapy are seen to be equally effective.
18:41He named it after which character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, who pronounces that everybody is one and all must have prizes.
18:49Is that the Mad Hatter?
18:51Mad Hatter.
18:52Mad Hatter, isn't it?
18:53Mad Hatter.
18:54Mad Hatter.
18:55No, it's the Dodo.
18:56In a 1981 paper, the US physicist John Wheeler likened the fading away of stars falling into black holes to the fading away of which character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?
19:07Cheshire Cat.
19:08Oh, yeah, it might be the Cheshire Cat.
19:10Yeah.
19:11Cheshire Cat.
19:12Yeah, it is the Cheshire Cat.
19:13Well done.
19:14Let's start the question.

19:28Harper Adams here in...
19:29Ian Banks.
19:30Well done.
19:31It is Ian Banks.

23:03Maybe.
23:04El Greco?
23:05Well done.
23:06Let's start the question.
23:07The resort town of Liszt, on the low-lying island of Silt, is the northernmost municipality in which European country?

23:43Yeah, I would go with that.
23:45De La Casa?
23:46No, it's Torquemada.

24:54Which Italian-American physicist, born in 1905, gives his name to a chart on which the known nuclides of chemical elements are plotted, and which provides a visualisation of nuclear stability?
25:05Fermi.
25:06Fermi.
25:07No, Segre.

25:16The group helped extend his work on using neutron bombardment to induce radioactivity.
25:23Erm...
25:25There's a nuclear physicist.
25:27Oh, I don't know.
25:29I don't think it's going to be Fermi.
25:30I don't have anything else.
25:32Come on.
25:33Fermi.
25:34Yes.
25:35In 1959, Segre shared the Nobel Prize in physics with Owen Chamberlain for producing and identifying which anti-particle composed of two up-anti-quarks and one down-anti-quark.
25:45Antiproton.
25:46Antiproton.

25:51Name the two chemical elements that are both found in all of the following compounds.
26:07Thiazol, Pyridine, Sodomide and Sal Ammoniac.
26:11They are also both present in an amino-functional group.

26:26In 1851, he published a pamphlet defending the Pre-Raphaelites against hostile abuse.
26:31Rossetti?
26:32Or Wordsworth?
26:33I think he is dead then.
26:34Oh, right.
26:35Rossetti?
26:36Because he is Pre-Raphaelite.
26:37Rossetti.
26:38No, it is John Ruskin.

27:21Three questions on geology.
27:23In 2024, scientific findings revealed that the altar stone of Stonehenge was transported
27:28not from Wales, but from the north of Scotland, more than 700 kilometres away.
27:32It is composed of a sedimentary rock known as O.R.S.
27:37For what do these letters stand?
27:39Orkney something?
27:40Like Arkney something stone?
27:42Orkney.
27:43Oh?
27:44Like north of Scotland?
27:45Yeah.
27:46Orkney something.
27:47Orkney something.
27:48Come on.
27:49And out the goal of Harper Adams at 45.
27:50The Trust Glider 205.
27:52APPLAUSE
27:53Well the answer to that last one was Old Red Standstone.
27:58Bad luck.
27:59Harper Adams, the thing that is so brutal about this game is that when they're quicker on the
28:03buzzers, you have to sit through the bonuses which you knew all the answers to.
28:06And I could see that there were so many bonus questions which you guys did know the answers
28:09to, but they were just slightly quicker on the starters.
28:11So I think in a way that score line somewhat misrepresents you.
28:14But thank you so much for coming along and playing so well.
28:16Strathclyde, that was a brilliant performance.
28:17And I know I'm not meant to pick out individuals, but I've got to say, Captain Jack Sterling,
28:20you seem to know a lot of answers and that was really, really impressive.
28:23So, very well done.
28:24We shall see you again.
28:25And I hope you could join us next time too for another first round match.
28:28But until then, it is goodbye from Harper Adams.
28:30Goodbye.
28:31Goodbye.
28:32It's goodbye from Strathclyde.
28:33Goodbye.
28:34And it's goodbye from me.
28:35Goodbye.
28:36APPLAUSE
28:54Bye.
28:55Bye.
28:56.
