00:00MUSIC
00:04APPLAUSE
00:19University Challenge.
00:21Asking the questions...
00:23I'm all Roger.
00:25APPLAUSE
00:28Hello and welcome to University Challenge.
00:30Tonight, two more teams will be playing their first match
00:32in the quarterfinal stage of this year's competition.
00:35This is a double elimination round,
00:38meaning the winning team tonight will need to win another game
00:40in order to advance to the semifinals,
00:42while the losers will have a chance at redemption in a later match.
00:46This year's team from UCL have beaten next-door neighbours SOAS
00:49and the University of Lincoln on their way to these quarterfinals.
00:52Across the whole of those two matches, they have never once been behind
00:55and they've answered well on a wide range of topics,
00:57including flags, African textiles and cybernetics.
01:01In their second match, however, they did reveal
01:03that they don't know too much about the quarrying of limestone
01:06or the works of George Bernard Shaw.
01:08UCL's average score from their game so far is exactly 200 points.
01:12Let's meet them for the third time.
01:14Hi, I'm Zach Lakota-Baldwin.
01:16I'm from London and I'm doing a PhD in Science and Technology Studies.
01:20Hi, I'm Alice Lee. I'm from Kendall in Cumbria and I'm studying for a Masters
01:24in Russian and post-Soviet politics.
01:26And their captain.
01:28Hi, I'm Michael Dougherty. I'm from Derry and I'm doing a PhD in Optical Communications.
01:32Hi, I'm Manny Campion-Dye. I'm from Bath and I'm studying for a PhD in Philosophy.
01:41The team from Merton College Oxford are here tonight having seen off Durham University in their first match
01:46and Churchill College Cambridge in their second by a considerable margin each time.
01:51That second victory was perhaps a little less comfortable than the scoreline suggested.
01:55It had a couple of runs of unanswered bonuses and incorrect interruptions from both teams.
02:00But ultimately, Merton's very impressive knowledge of the plays of Thomas Middleton,
02:04the philosopher Hilary Putnam and the German house of Thurn und Taxis was enough to secure them the win.
02:10Their average score so far is just under 210 points.
02:13Let's meet the team from Merton once again.
02:15Hi, I'm Ciaran Duncan. I'm from High Wycombe and I'm doing a PhD in English Literature.
02:21Hi, I'm Eveline Ong. I'm from Singapore and I'm studying for an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Philosophy.
02:27And their captain.
02:28Hi, I'm Elliot Cosnett. I'm from Hatton in Warwickshire and I'm studying for an undergraduate degree in History.
02:34Hi, I'm Verity Fleetwood Law. I'm from Amersham in Buckinghamshire and I'm studying English and French.
02:39Well, welcome back. So this is one of those games that if you lose, you're not out.
02:45But do try to win because it'll make life easier, won't it?
02:48OK, fingers on buzzers. Here's your first starter for ten. Good luck.
02:51Which of Shakespeare's works did Samuel Taylor Coleridge call the most wonderful of his historical plays that should be perused in mental contrast with Romeo and Juliet as the love of passion and appetite opposed to the love of affection and instinct?
03:07Joyce Carol Oates notes that the lovers at its centre swear their love in impossibly exaggerated terms and argues that...
03:14Martin Duncan.
03:15Troilus and Cressida.
03:16No, I'm afraid you lose five points.
03:17And argues the tension in the play is between those who deal in lieutenantry and those to whom passion has become...
03:23UCL Lee.
03:24Anthony and Cleopatra.
03:25It is indeed, yes.
03:26Your bonuses, UCL, are on films whose titles contain the name of a chemical element.
03:32In each case, give the full title of each film from the description.
03:37First, a 2016 psychological horror film directed by Nicholas Winding Refn and set in the Los Angeles fashion world, starring Elle Fanning as an aspiring model.
03:47The element in the title is in Group 18.
03:50Nominate Lacket of Baldwin.
03:51The Neon Demon.
03:52Correct.
03:53Secondly, a 1944 black comedy directed by Frank Capra, starring Cary Grant as writer Mortimer Brewster and Josephine Hull and Jean Adair as his murderous maiden aunts Martha and Abby.
04:04The titular element is in Group 15.
04:07It's going to be like Arsenic and Old Lace or something, you know?
04:09Oh yeah, sure.
04:10I think.
04:11Arsenic and Old Lace.
04:12I don't know.
04:13Arsenic and Old Lace?
04:14Yes.
04:15It's going to be a 1999 animated children's film directed by Brad Bird based on a book by Ted Hughes about a boy named Hogarth who finds and befriends the titular creature after he crash lands on Earth.
04:26The element in the title is in Group 8.
04:28The Iron Giant.
04:29It is indeed, yeah.
04:30Nice question.
04:31What name used as both a surname and given name derives from the Irish for South Munster and links all of the following?
04:38A series of rebellions from 1569 to 1583 against encroaching English authority in Munster.
04:44A West Indian cricketer of the late 70s to early 90s known for his formidable opening batting partnerships with fellow Barbadian Gordon Greenwich.
04:52A Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae singer whose hits include the 1969 UK number one single Israelites.
04:59A British...
05:00UCL Lee.
05:01Decker.
05:02No, I'm afraid you'll lose five points.
05:03A British sitcom that aired from 1989 to 1994 set in a Peckham barbershop.
05:07And the South African human rights activist who was the first black Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town.
05:13Merton Cosmit.
05:14Desmond.
05:15It is Desmond.
05:16Bad like Alice.
05:17Your bonuses then, Merton, are three questions on a Jacobean play.
05:21Quote,
05:22Why man, we are all philosophical monarchs or natural fools.
05:25Those words are spoken by the title character, a deposed Duke named Giovanni Altofronto,
05:30in which play of 1604 by John Marston?
05:33Ooh, I've not heard of this one.
05:35I don't know this one.
05:36No, John Marston plays.
05:37There's one called The Malcontent.
05:39The Malcontent sounds good.
05:40There's a play from around that.
05:41The Malcontent.
05:42Yes.
05:43Very nice.
05:44The Malcontent is dedicated to which of Marston's contemporaries?
05:45Some years earlier this playwright had satirised Marston in the plays
05:48Every Man in His Humour and Poetasta as part of a public feud known as the...
05:53Ben Johnson.
05:54Yes.
05:55The Malcontent is set in which port city in Liguria?
05:57Though Marston stresses in a note to the reader that he has willingly erred in supposing this city has a Duke
06:03and in the names he gives to its major families.
06:05I'm guessing Genoa.
06:06Genoa?
06:07Yes, it is.
06:08Let's start with questions.
06:09While visiting London in 1820 and 21, which French artist produced a series of lithographs of daily life in the city,
06:16many of which illustrate poverty, unemployment and disability such as
06:20Pity the Sorrows of a Poor Old Man and The Piper?
06:24Shortly after he returned to France, he began producing a series of portraits depicting patients of the psychiatrist...
06:29Merton.
06:30Jimmy Kuhl.
06:31Correct, yes.
06:32Your bonuses are on Hollywood actors who appear in the top ten on the American Film Institute's list of screen legends of the 20th century.
06:40All three were born outside the USA.
06:43During the 1930s, who played notable roles in Blue Angel, Blonde Venus and Destry Rides Again?
06:49Marlena Dietrich.
06:50Yes.
06:51Having secured a Hollywood contract in 1925, whose US film career lasted just under 20 years?
06:56Her well-known films including The Kiss, Grand Hotel, Anna Karenina and Ninochka.
07:02Greta Garbo.
07:03Greta Garbo.
07:04Yes.
07:05Born in 1932, who won Academy Awards for her performances in Butterfield 8 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
07:10Her other films include Giant, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Suddenly Last Summer.
07:15Elizabeth Taylor.
07:16Elizabeth Taylor.
07:17Elizabeth Taylor.
07:18Yes, it is.
07:19Right on.
07:20And for your picture starter, you're going to see a map with the location of a town marked, accompanied by a photograph of a notable building located there.
07:30For ten points, simply name the town.
07:33UCL Lee.
07:34Preston.
07:35No.
07:37Merton Cosmet.
07:38Chester.
07:39No.
07:40They're both cities and Chester is absolutely nowhere near there.
07:42It was Blackburn.
07:43We'll take your picture bonuses when we get a starter right.
07:46I need a chemical compound here.
07:48In the 1860s, in an early attempt at molecular modelling, the German chemist August Wilhelm Hoffmann made models using rods and croquet balls, black balls for carbon atoms, white balls for hydrogen and so on.
07:59Which of his molecular models takes the form of a cross with a black ball at the centre and white balls at the ends of the forearms?
08:07Merton.
08:08Merton.
08:09It is indeed.
08:10Your picture bonuses then, Merton.
08:11For your starter, you saw Blackburn and its cathedral.
08:13Blackburn is one of the few places in England and Wales that has an Anglican cathedral but lacks city status.
08:19For your bonuses, you'll see maps showing the locations of three more such towns, along with photographs of their cathedrals.
08:25Five points for each you can identify.
08:27First.
08:28Ooh.
08:29Where's Dan there?
08:30No.
08:31Anything.
08:32Is that in Suffolk?
08:33That is in Suffolk, I think, yeah.
08:34What's in Suffolk?
08:35King's Lynn, maybe?
08:36Try that.
08:37King's Lynn.
08:38No, that's Rochester.
08:39Second.
08:40It's not Haverford West.
08:41Maybe.
08:42I have no idea.
08:43Haverford West.
08:44No, that's Brecon.
08:45And finally.
08:46Ooh, OK.
08:47My geography's terrible.
08:48God.
08:49Is it East Anglican?
08:50That is in East Anglican.
08:51That's not a county.
08:52I don't know what that could be.
08:53King's Lynn.
08:54I don't know.
08:55King's Lynn.
08:56King's Lynn.
08:57King's Lynn.
08:58Now you're quite right to say your geography's terrible because that's Bury St Edmunds.
09:02Another question.
09:03In 1783, who wrote that the influence of David Hume, quote...
09:09Emanuel Kant.
09:10It was indeed.
09:11Well done.
09:12Three questions for you on veterinary medicine.
09:15In sheep and goats, which common contagious condition is principally caused by Dichalobacter
09:25Acctonodosis bacteria in conjunction with a warm and wet environment.
09:29Symptoms include inflammation and lameness.
09:32Is it like anthrax or ringworm or I don't know?
09:35I don't know.
09:36What's specific to those?
09:37Foot and mouth.
09:38Foot and mouth is an animal thing, but is that for sheep and goats or...?
09:40Yeah.
09:41Oh, do you want to try that?
09:42Oh, no.
09:43I think it's for everything.
09:44No, it's for cows as well.
09:45No, BSE is for cows.
09:46Just try foot and mouth.
09:47OK.
09:48Foot and mouth.
09:49No, that's foot rot.
09:50Which infectious disease seen particularly in sheep and causing fever and ulcerations around
09:54the mouth and lips is caused by the serotypes of the orbivirus genus known as BTV?
10:01BTV.
10:02Cusing sores around the mouth.
10:05I don't know.
10:08The name of the disease?
10:10Yeah.
10:11I don't know.
10:12I don't know.
10:13Anthrax?
10:14It's blue tongue.
10:15Blue tongue.
10:16The various related parasitic infections generally known as mange are caused by which arthropods?
10:22Could it be like...
10:23Mites?
10:24Ticks?
10:25Or are mites?
10:26I mean...
10:27I think they'd go with mites.
10:28Mites?
10:29Well done.
10:30It is mites.
10:31Yeah.
10:32Let's start the question.
10:33Between 1699 and 1701, the naturalist and nature artist Maria Sibylla Merian carried out a landmark
10:40study of the insects of which South American country?
10:44Her expedition is believed to have been the first purely scientific expedition to this country
10:48and she had to seek permission for it from the city of Amsterdam.
10:52Suriname?
10:53It is Suriname.
10:54Well done.
10:55Your bonuses are on Plutarch's parallel lives.
10:59In each case, I need the Greek figure being described who is the pair to the given Roman figure.
11:05Five points for each.
11:06First, the parallel to Cicero, a Greek statesman and orator who is vocal in his support of the Athenian cause against Alexander the Great.
11:14Plutarch says that he overcame a speech impediment by practising his addresses while holding pebbles in his mouth.
11:19Nominate Campion Day.
11:21Demosthenes.
11:22Yes.
11:23Secondly, the parallel to Cato the Elder, an Athenian general and statesman who commanded the Athenian forces at the 479 BCE Battle of Plataea and who was nicknamed the Just.
11:36Is it Themistocles?
11:39Could be.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Nominate Campion Day.
11:42Themistocles?
11:43No, that's Aristides.
11:44Finally, the parallel to Fabius Maximus, an Athenian general who fought in the Peloponnesian Wars and took command of the Athenian army in 429 BCE, shortly before his death from plague.
11:54The historian Thucydides recounts a notable funeral oration supposedly given by this man at the end of the war's first year.
12:01Pericles.
12:02Yeah.
12:03Pericles.
12:04Well done.
12:05Let's start the question.
12:06Following the introduction of a three-note orchestral motif, which opera, first performed in 1909, opens with a maidservant asking,
12:14or where stays the title figure?
12:17Another...
12:18Mersin Ong.
12:19Electra.
12:20It is Electra, yes.
12:21Your bonuses are on three plays that contain the word God in their titles.
12:24OK.
12:25Yes, which 2006 play by Yasmina Reza depicts a confrontation between two sets of parents over a playground incident involving their children?
12:33It has God in the title.
12:35I've heard of this.
12:36The only one by her I know is art.
12:38Oh, my God.
12:39Do we know?
12:40Are we just passing?
12:41Pass.
12:42God of Carnage.
12:43The 2015 play Indecent by Paula Vogel is partly based on the introduction of Broadway's obscenity laws following the 1906 production of a Yiddish drama entitled God of...
12:52What single word?
12:54Um...
12:55I don't know.
12:56Pain.
12:57Tears.
12:58Yeah.
12:59Tears.
13:00Loss.
13:01Tears.
13:02No, it's vengeance.
13:03Lastly, Mark Medoff's play, Children of a Lesser God, set in a school for the deaf, takes inspiration for its title from a line in which Victorian poet's narrative cycle, Idols of the King?
13:13I believe it's Tennyson.
13:14Tennyson.
13:15It is Tennyson, yeah.
13:17Another starter question.
13:18Titulus Regius, meaning royal title, was a statute passed by Parliament that established which man as King of England.
13:25It declared that the offspring of a previous king were illegitimate.
13:29Martin Cosnett.
13:30William III.
13:31I'm afraid you lose five points due to what it claimed was the ungracious pretenced marriage between that recently deceased king and the children's mother, Elizabeth Woodville.
13:40Henry IV.
13:41No, it's Richard III.
13:42The illegitimate children were the princes in the tower.
13:44I'll start with a question.
13:45In the course of their studies of the tobacco plant, the Russian Dmitry Ivanovsky and the Dutchman Martinus Bayerink are among those credited with the discovery of what biological entities originally named Contagium vivum fluidum for their ability to pass through all known filters?
14:05Viruses.
14:08It is.
14:09Well done.
14:10Your bonus is then, UCL, three questions on women honoured in the Pantheon in Paris.
14:14In each case, I need you to name the person from a description.
14:17First, the first woman to act as President of the European Parliament, who, as France's Health Minister, instituted a law legalising abortion that is commonly named after her.
14:28I don't know.
14:29I don't know.
14:30Pass.
14:31Simone Vale.
14:32Secondly, an ethnologist and freedom fighter who acted as a mediator during the Algerian War of Independence and published a first-hand account of her experiences in the Ravensbrook concentration camp.
14:42I don't know.
14:43I'm sorry.
14:44I can't think.
14:45Pass.
14:46It's Germaine Tillion.
14:47Lastly, an American-born singer and actor whose role in the 1927 film Siren of the Tropics made her one of the first black women to star in a studio feature.
14:59A cenotaph was established in the Pantheon in 2021 to honour her service to the French resistance.
15:05Josephine Baker.
15:06It is indeed.
15:07Yeah.
15:08Music round now.
15:09And for your music starter, you're going to hear an excerpt from an opera.
15:13For ten points, I need you to name its composer.
15:16It is indeed.
15:17Very good.
15:18For your music starter, you heard the flower duet from L'Acme, an opera whose libretto was co-written by Philippe Gilles.
15:29For your bonuses, Merton, three more musical works with words written by Gilles.
15:34In each case, I need you to name the composer.
15:36First, the composer of this piece.
15:38It sounds like Offenbach.
15:46Offenbach?
15:47Yes.
15:48Nice.
15:49Secondly, this composer.
16:00Poulenc?
16:01Pardon?
16:02Poulenc?
16:03No, that's by Lily Boulanger.
16:04Lastly, this is an excerpt from an opera by which composer?
16:08Do you think it could be Gounod?
16:09Maybe?
16:10Gounod?
16:11No, it's Massanet.
16:12Another start of the question.
16:13Located on the island of Funen, which city was the site in 1086 of the murder of King Canute IV, whose remains are in the cathedral now named after him, and of the birth in 1805 of the author Hans Christian Andersen?
16:37Merton Cosmit?
16:38Uh, Copenhagen?
16:39No, I'm afraid you'll lose five points.
16:40It is the third most popular city in Denmark after Copenhagen and Aarhus.
16:44Utsil Lee?
16:45Odense?
16:46It is Odense, well done.
16:47Your bonuses are on statistical mechanics, UCL.
16:48In thermodynamics, the words canonical or grand canonical may precede what eight-letter word to refer to a collection of many sets of particles that each represent a possible state of a physical system?
17:04Ensemble?
17:05Yes.
17:06What ten-letter compound word is given to a single possible configuration of a system's energy across the particles in the system?
17:13The natural logarithm of the number of these configurations is proportional to entropy via Boltzmann's constant.
17:18It's a state.
17:19I think it's microstate.
17:20Is that...?
17:21Or is it macrostate?
17:22Microstate.
17:23They both have.
17:24Yeah.
17:25I think it's microstate.
17:26Microstate?
17:27Well done.
17:28Born in 1839, which US scientist coined the term statistical mechanics?
17:31He gives his name to a type of free energy that must decrease over the course of a chemical reaction for a reaction to be able to occur spontaneously.
17:38Gibbs.
17:39It is.
17:40Now to start the question.
17:41Listen carefully and spell your answer.
17:44Derived from the Sanskrit for to yoke or join together, what short word is used in Hinduism to designate time periods within the larger cosmic cycle?
17:54This word may follow Satya, Treta, Dwapara or Kali to designate the individual...
18:01Martin Duncan.
18:02Y-U-G-A.
18:04Yes, Yuga.
18:05Well done.
18:06Your bonuses then, Merton, are on the poems of Shakespeare.
18:10In which long narrative poem published in 1593 does one of the two title characters rebuke the other after being forced into a kiss?
18:19Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, but lust's effect is tempest after sun.
18:23Venus and Adonis.
18:24Yes.
18:25Venus and Adonis is dedicated to Henry, Earl of Southampton, a favourite candidate for the identity of the addressee of Shakespeare's sonnets 1 to 126.
18:34Scholars usually refer to this addressee by what two words?
18:37Is it the something youth?
18:39Oh.
18:40Beautiful youth, I don't know.
18:42Dark youth?
18:43Dark youth.
18:44Dark youth.
18:45Bad luck.
18:46It's fair youth.
18:47Bad luck.
18:48Instead of remaining with Venus, Adonis goes to hunt which animal which fatally injures him?
18:52In the Henry IV plays, Falstaff holds court in a tavern named for this animal's head.
18:56The boy, presumably.
18:57I think it's the boy.
18:58I think it's the boy.
18:59A special heart.
19:00I don't know.
19:01I think it's the boy.
19:02I think it's the boy.
19:03The boy?
19:04Yes.
19:05It's a sports level.
19:06In the Knights to the Wasteland, T.S. Eliot describes which figure as a mere spectator, yet the most...
19:11UCL champion by...
19:13Tyresius.
19:14Well done.
19:15It is indeed, yes.
19:16Your bonuses are on Japanese authors whose surnames include the word kawa or gawa, meaning river.
19:22Born in 1892, which author's works include Rashomon and Inner Grove?
19:27He gives his name to a prestigious Japanese literary prize.
19:32Hasegawa?
19:33Yes.
19:34That sounds right, yeah.
19:35Hasegawa?
19:36No, that's Akutagawa.
19:37Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
19:39Who won the Akutagawa Prize in 2008 for Breasts and Eggs, a novel about working-class women from Osaka?
19:46Her other works include Miss Ice Sandwich and All the Lovers in the Night.
19:50Any idea?
19:51Ruth?
19:52I think this one has a kawa in it.
19:53Oh, right.
19:54It's got to have a kawa.
19:55It is one or the other, but I think this one is actually something kawa, but I can't get the rest of it.
20:00Yeah.
20:01I would have to pass.
20:02Can you think of a kawa name?
20:03Hasegawa.
20:04Hasegawa?
