02:12I'm Kate Lockery, I'm from Glasgow and I'm doing a Master's in Diplomacy and International Security.
02:16And there, Captain.
02:17Hi, I'm Jack Sterling from Inverness, studying Chemical Engineering.
02:20Hi, I'm Tom McHugh, I'm from Glasgow and I'm studying Mechanical Engineering.
02:27Welcome back, nice to see you applauding each other and this is for a place in the quarterfinals.
02:31Good luck, fingers on buzzers, here's your first starter for 10.
02:36What occupation appears in the titles of all of the following television programmes?
02:40A 1986 serial written by Dennis Potter and starring Michael Gambon as a writer suffering from psoriatic arthropathy.
02:48A 2008 series starring Jill Scott based on a series of novels by Alexander McCall Smith.
02:54Detective?
02:56It is detective, yes.
02:58Three questions for you, Sheffield, on early romantic art.
03:02In an essay of 2004, the art historian Catherine Gallitz notes that,
03:05Though often posited in opposition to neoclassicism,
03:09early romanticism was shaped largely by artists trained in which French artist's studio?
03:14His works include Oath of the Horatii?
03:16Oh, David.
03:19David?
03:19Yes.
03:20Charles Brulot or Karl Brulov spanned the period of transition from neoclassicism to romanticism.
03:26In what country?
03:27His major works include the monumental Last Day of Pompeii, completed in 1833.
03:32Is it just Italy?
03:33I don't know.
03:37Switzerland?
03:38Sure.
03:39Switzerland.
03:41No, it's Russia.
03:41An early example of romantic art in the Tate collection,
03:44Snowstorm, Hannibal and his army crossing the Alps,
03:47is an 1812 work by which English painter?
03:50Turner.
03:51It is Turner.
03:52Well done.
03:52Go start with the question.
03:53Discussed in an 1852 essay by Karl Marx about a recent coup d'etat,
03:58what Western European family's name is the origin of a...
04:02Sheffield Assisi.
04:03Bonaparte.
04:04Well done.
04:04It is indeed, yes.
04:06Three questions for you, Sheffield, on prunes in literature.
04:11In an essay of 1929, which author wrote,
04:13One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
04:18The lamp in the spine does not light on beef and prunes.
04:20Before going on to ask, now what food do we feed women as artists upon?
04:25Virginia Woolf.
04:26Yeah, Virginia Woolf.
04:27Yes.
04:28Book two, chapter seven of which novel by Dickens is titled Mostly Prunes and Prism?
04:33Mrs General advises the title character that lips form a pretty shape
04:37when speaking the words papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism.
04:41Little Dorrit is set in a prison, so...
04:43You thought that she might nominate you.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Nominate Dobby.
04:46Little Dorrit.
04:46Correct.
04:47In which of Shakespeare's plays does Pompey refer to a pregnant woman's longing
04:51for stewed prunes, possibly alluding to the belief that they cure venereal disease?
04:56In this scene, he has been brought before Duke Angelo,
04:59accused of being a parcel board.
05:02Something in Italy.
05:04Twelfth night.
05:05Is it ancient or like...
05:07Two gentlemen of Verona.
05:08Two gentlemen of Verona.
05:10No, it's measure for measure.
05:11Let's start the question.
05:12Which photographer's work did Susan Sontag say was an occasion to demonstrate
05:17that life's horror can be faced without squeamishness?
05:21Known for her photographs of outsiders, such as those of drag artists and carnival performers,
05:25she became the first American photographer to be exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1972,
05:30the year after her death.
05:33Strathclyde Sterling.
05:34Cindy Sherman.
05:35No, you may not confer.
05:37Anyone want to have a go?

05:41Well done, yeah.
05:43Your bonuses in Sheffield are on real-world metal alloys
05:47that play a role in the magic system of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series of fantasy books.
05:52Name each from the description.
05:54First, a malleable metal alloy containing mostly tin mixed with antimony, copper and sometimes silver.
06:00Burning this material in the Mistborn series enhances physical characteristics such as brute strength.
06:05Well, copper and tin is bronze, but I don't think it's going to be that.
06:07Antimony is tin, antimony.
06:09Do we have any ideas?
06:10I don't have a pewter, it's not.
06:12Pewter pass.
06:13I don't think so.
06:14Try it.
06:15Pewter.
06:15It is pewter.
06:16Secondly, a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, usually containing trace quantities
06:20of other metals such as copper and platinum.
06:23In Sanderson's books, burning this alloy gives sight of one's own future.
06:27Yeah, definitely.
06:27Yeah.
06:27Electrum.
06:28Yes.
06:29Finally, an alloy composed of a larger quantity of copper and smaller quantity of zinc.
06:33In the Mistborn series, this alloy is burned by soothers to manipulate the emotions of others.
06:39Copper and zinc.
06:40Copper and zinc is not this.
06:40Copper and tin is bronze.
06:41It's not going to be that.
06:42It's not brass.
06:43It's got aluminium in it.
06:44We could go brass.
06:45Are you sure?
06:45Just try it.
06:46I don't think it's brass, but we can just try it.
06:47We've got nothing else.
06:48Brass.
06:49It is brass.
06:51Picture round now.
06:52For a picture starter, you're going to see an image of a passport.
06:55For ten points, simply tell me the name of the country that issues it.
06:58Some helpful wording has, of course, been removed.
07:03Singapore.
07:05Yes, it is Singapore.
07:05Well done.
07:07You just saw the passport for Singapore, rated as the most powerful passport in the world
07:11by the Henley Passport Index, granting visa-free access to around 195 countries and territories.
07:18For your bonuses, you'll see passports that feature towards the bottom of that index.
07:22In each case, I need the issuing country for five points.
07:25Some wording will have been redacted on each.
07:27First, this country.
07:29Oh, Assyria.
07:31Assyria?
07:31Yes.
07:31Assyria?
07:32Yes.
07:33Secondly?
07:34Eritrea?
07:35Yes.
07:36Eritrea.
07:37Yes.
07:37Finally.
07:39Bangladesh?
07:40It is.
07:40That is literally Bangladesh.
07:41Go for it.
07:41Bangladesh.
07:42It is Bangladesh.
07:42Well done.
07:43Let's start the question.
07:44Which French scientist, born in 1736, gives his name to all of the following?
07:51A so-called explosion that can occur in molecules when electrons are removed, a type of mechanical
07:57damping that relies on sliding friction, a potential energy barrier that particles must...
08:03Coulomb.
08:04It is Coulomb, yes.
08:05Well done.
08:06Your bonuses, Sheffield, are on leading clubs in the Australian Football League.
08:10That's Aussie rules football.
08:12Founded in 1859 and thus older than any club in the English Premier League, the Cats are
08:17said to be the second oldest AFL club.
08:19They are based in which city, a large seaport south-west of Melbourne?
08:24I was going to say that.

08:25Geelong.
08:26It is Geelong.
08:27With a joint record, 16 premiership titles, which club is known as the Magpies?

08:54It is indeed Brisbane, yes.
08:55That's our question.
08:56Plenty of time, Stratford.
08:56Let's see if you can get going with this.
08:58Who declared that, quote,
08:59This is no ordinary time in a speech intended to encourage the nomination of Henry Wallace
09:04as US Vice President in 1940, a phrase that would later be used by Doris Kearns Goodwin
09:09as the title of her Pulitzer Prize-winning historical biography of this figure and her husband.
09:15She later chaired the committee which drafted...
09:17Sheffield Dobby.
09:19Eleanor Roosevelt.
09:20It is indeed, yes.
09:21Your bonuses, Stratford, are on works that feature or mention
09:24chicken hypnotism.
09:27The streak of chalk bewitcheth the head is a line from which work by Friedrich Nietzsche,

09:34The work comprises the imagined discourses of an ancient Iranian religious figure.

09:58I don't know.
10:00I don't know if I'm really good.
10:01Pass.
10:02To sleep with anger.
10:04Well, that's like hypnotising chickens is a line from which 1977 song by Iggy Pop?
10:09It was re-released in 1996 after featuring in the soundtrack to the film Trainspotting.

10:13It is lust for life.
10:15Fingers and buzzers, here's another start to 410.
10:18What surname is shared by all of the following?
10:21The 19th century author said by T.S. Eliot to have written, quote,

10:28a genre invented by him and not by Poe.
10:30The character from Pride and Prejudice who's, quote...

10:37Three questions for you, Sheffield, on tourism.
10:39In 1782, clergyman and author William Gilpin published an influential travel book
10:45titled Observations on Which British River?
10:48It established the tour of the river as an essential for those unable to take the grand tour
10:52because of the wars in Europe,
10:54and notable sites included the ruins of Goodrich Castle and Tintin Abbey.
10:58Oh, it's Wales.
10:59Is it Seven?

11:05Oh.
11:06Observations on the River Wye attempted to guide travellers to, quote,
11:09examine the face of a country by the rules of what type of beauty?
11:14Gilpin popularised this 11-letter term,
11:16referring to the aesthetic pleasures available through the contemplation of landscape scenes
11:20and now particularly associated with tourism.
11:24No idea.

20:57you can name.
20:57First, this fruit.
20:58It's not like a mangosteen
21:02is it?
21:03Is that what mangosteen is like?

21:19The term custard apple
21:21is applied to
21:21a number of related fruits
21:23but I needed to hear
21:24the specific fruit
21:25which is soursop.

21:33Yeah.
21:34It could be.
21:35Papaya?
21:36No, that's a cashew.
21:37Let's start with a question.
21:39In the 17th century
21:40Nzinga Mabande

21:43of...
21:43Angola.
21:45Well done.
21:46Well done indeed.
21:47Three questions for you,

21:52given to a cat
21:53that was on board
21:54which German battleship
21:55when it was sunk
21:56during the 1941
21:57Operation Reinerbung?
21:58The cat was picked up
21:59by the crew
22:00of the HMS Cossack
22:01which would later also sink
22:02with Sam surviving
22:03a second time
22:04and a third time
22:04in a later shipwreck.
22:05Bismarck?
22:06Yeah.

22:07saw the arrival
22:08in Lisbon of Ulysses,
22:10the first example
22:11of what animal seen
22:12in Europe since antiquity?
22:14It was immortalised
22:14in a woodcut
22:15by Albrecht Dürer
22:16but would later die
22:17in a shipwreck
22:17while being sent

22:21Yes.
22:22The Coton de Tuleyar
22:23is a small dog breed
22:24named after Toliara,

22:28The breed is said
22:29to be descended
22:29from a group of dogs
22:30that were shipwrecked
22:31there centuries ago.
22:32I think Honiara
22:33is Micronesia.

22:36No, it's Madagascar.
22:37Another starting question.
22:38What word is common

28:01it's an unbelievable team
28:02in the form of their life
28:03who were incredible on the buzzers,
28:05and that was just incredibly bad luck.
28:07I'm so sorry.
28:09But it was very obvious
28:10how enormously clever you are
28:11when you got a chance
28:12to answer some questions.
28:13So well done.
28:14It's been wonderful getting to know you.
28:15Sheffield,
28:15I think you just need to try
28:16and capture that
28:17and take that form
28:19into the next stage
28:19because that will terrify
28:20everyone you're up against.
28:21I mean,
28:22290 is absolutely phenomenal
28:23and you were amazing really
28:25in your range of knowledge
28:26and your speed on the starter.
28:27So well done.
28:28That was a fantastic performance.
28:30I hope we'll see you again
28:31for another second round match.
28:32But until then,
28:33it is goodbye from Strathclyde.
28:34Bye.
28:35It's goodbye from Sheffield.
28:37Goodbye.
28:38And it's goodbye from me.
