00:27Hello and welcome to
00:29University Challenge where two more teams are about to face off for one of the few
00:33remaining places in the second round. A win guarantees qualification but there may still
00:38be hope for the losing team provided they can score at least 145 points which would put them
00:44for the moment in a repercharge place. What's now Harper Adams University was founded in 1901
00:50following a bequest from landowner Thomas Harper Adams for the creation of an institution that
00:56taught theoretical and practical agriculture. It's since expanded its remit to include subjects
01:01such as engineering and veterinary science. When it gained university status in 2012 it
01:06became the only university in Shropshire and its notable alumni include the cricketer Boyd
01:11Rankin, politician Sarah Dyke and animal behaviourist Barbara Woodhouse. Tonight marks not only Harper
01:17Adams first appearance on this program but the first appearance of any agricultural university.
01:22Let's then meet the first ever team from Harper Adams on University Challenge.
01:28Hello my name is Alistair Ward I'm from Suffolk and I'm studying rural enterprise and land management.
01:34Hi my name's Rachel Henderson I'm from Preston and I'm studying a PhD in fish immunology.
01:39And their captain.
01:40Hi I'm John Owen I'm originally from Chester and I'm studying for a PhD in entomology.
01:45Hi I'm Will Jones I'm from South East London and I'm studying for a master in automotive engineering.
01:54The University of Strathclyde has its origins in an endowment made by natural philosopher John Anderson
02:00in 1796 for a place of quote useful learning. It was designated as the UK's first technological university
02:07in 1964 at which time it was producing 10% of all students in Britain with university level
02:13technology qualifications. Former students include John Logie Baird, Annabelle Goldie and
02:18Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Capranos. And 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 and I'm studying chemistry.
02:35Hi my name's Kate Loughrey. I'm from Glasgow and 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.
02:53Well a very warm welcome to you all and a welcome for the first time to Harper Adams.
02:57Good luck. Fingers on buzzers. Here's your first starter for 10.
03:02What single word title is shared by two films on the American Film Institute's list of the top 10 gangster
03:09films 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...
03:20Strathclyde Sterling.
03:22Scarface.
03:22It 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 when he started his country's opening group game
03:39against Croatia
03:40and the youngest player ever to score at the Euros when he scored against France in the semi-finals?
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, beating the previous record by
03:54more than a year?
03:55He was 41 years and 130 days old when 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.
04:06Did France win the quarter-finals?
04:06He was ancient.
04:08Yeah.
04:08Did he win the quarter-finals?
04:10I don't know. I think they might have.
04:12Pepe?
04:13Yes. Which Croatian midfielder became the oldest player to score at the European Championships
04:17when he scored against Italy in the group stage aged 38 years and 289 days?
04:23Modric.
04:23Where's the great Luka Modric? Yes.
04:25Now start with questions. Fingers on focus.
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.
05:00Harper Adams Jones.
05:02Noise?
05:03No. Anyone from Strathclyde?
05:05You may not confirm.
05:05Strathclyde Johnston.
05:06Distortion.
05:07No. Bad luck. It's white noise.
05:09We needed the two-word term. Bad luck.
05:11Now start 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
05:26by this city's university, where Philip Larkin worked as...
05:29Strathclyde Sterling.
05:30Hull.
05:30It is Hull, yes.
05:32Larkin was a librarian there for 30 years.
05:34Your 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.
05:52I think that's Shirley Temple.
05:54Shirley Temple.
05:55Shirley Temple?
05:56Yes.
05:56A 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 which US president?
06:07It was influenced by an image created by Leon Harmon at Bell Labs.
06:14What sort of hero would that be used in?
06:16Well, Dali's, like, I mean, like, 20s onwards, or...
06:19So, people have to sort of, like, after the war, weren't they?
06:22Richard Wilson or something?
06:23I don't know.
06:24Did you sign anything?
06:25Come on.
06:26Richard Wilson?
06:26No, it's Abraham Lincoln.
06:28One of Dali's double image paintings depicts a slave market with, quote,
06:32Apparition of the Invisible Bust of which French Enlightenment figure?
06:37Voltaire?
06:39Maybe?
06:39Yeah, could be.
06:40Yeah, Voltaire.
06:41It 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
06:50used in what specific field of applied science to visualise the distortion caused by projection
06:57of a spherical image onto a flat surface?
07:00Other famous practitioners in this field include the Flemings Abraham Ortelius and Gerardus
07:05Mercator.
07:07Strathclyde McHugh.
07:08Cartography?
07:09It is cartography, yes.
07:10Well done.
07:11Your bonuses, Strathclyde, are three questions on the American molecular biologist Nancy Hopkins.
07:16With the Latin binomial Danio Rerio, what model organism has Hopkins used to study the
07:23roles of various genes in development and cancer progression?
07:26This 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,
07:50which involves the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
07:57So, what was that, like?
07:59Synthesis of RNA?
08:01What's that, what's that?
08:01I can't remember.
08:02Oh, God.
08:04Biolgemon.
08:07Mapping?
08:08Mapping?
08:09Hmm?
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
08:17in the 1990s, in part from her activism at which New England institution, where she became
08:23professor in 1973?
08:25Harvard?
08:26New England?
08:27Yeah.
08:28Harvard?
08:28Harvard.
08:29No, it's MIT.
08:30Another start of the 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.
08:41Strathclyde Sterling.
08:42Saxony.
08:43It is Saxony, yes.
08:44For your bonuses, then, that was the German state of Saxony, the federal state that gives
08:48its name to the Saxony duck.
08:50For your picture bonuses, Strathclyde, you'll see three maps indicating cities or towns that
08:54also 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.
09:07Where are we?
09:07We're in the north.
09:08Is 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 for the east.
09:15I'd go with Rhône.
09:17Rhône?
09:18Correct, yes.
09:19Next, this Italian city also serving as its region's capital.
09:22Oh, this is in...
09:24Is it Marchais?
09:26The east...
09:27Oh, I don't know what's here.
09:29Oh, I don't know what's...
09:30Does anyone recognise the duck?
09:31No.
09:33Come on.
09:35Marchais.
09:36It's Ancona.
09:36Finally, this UK county town.
09:39Oh, this is...
09:41Is this Buckinghamshire?
09:43Yes.
09:43What's the county's in Nottinghamshire?
09:44Or something like that.
09:46Buckinghamshire is probably what I went for.
09:47Yeah, I don't know, but it's the town.
09:48Oh, sorry.
09:49Not the Keenest.
09:50I don't know.
09:51I've never heard of that.
09:53Um, Nottinghamshire.
09:54No, it's Aylesbury, which is in Buckinghamshire.
09:56Bad luck.
09:56Plenty of time, Harper Adams.
09:57See if we can get going with this one.
09:58It's a quote.
09:59The Peace Prize laureate's seat is empty.
10:01It won't be his voice we hear.
10:02Let us therefore try even harder to listen to the silent speech from his empty place.
10:07This quote, taken from a speech given at the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, was made
10:13in reference to which laureate, who is described later in the speech as having raised a burning
10:17torch in the name of solidarity in reference to a trade union he had co-founded.
10:22Harper Adams, O.M.
10:24Lech Fuenster.
10:24Yes, well done.
10:27Right, your bonuses then, Harper Adams, are three questions on Chinese political slogans.
10:32Dare to think, dare to act was a slogan of what social and economic campaign launched in 1958.
10:38It led to disruption of agricultural production and contributed to a serious famine.
10:44Is that the Great Leap Forward?
10:48The Great Leap Forward?
10:49Yep.
10:50The Great Leap Forward?
10:51Yes.
10:51Smash the four olds, these being old ideas, customs, culture and habits, was a slogan of
10:56what movement in which Mao attempted to re-establish his authority from 1966?

11:07Yes.
11:08During a power struggle after Mao's death in 1976, propaganda slogans called for the destruction
11:13of what anti-party clique 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.
11:25Intellectual parties, isn't it?
11:26Intellectual parties.
11:28The intellectual party?
11:29No, it's the Gang of Four.
11:31Now, let's start the question.
11:33The Burmese salad dish, Larpet Thok, has as its central ingredient the fermented leaves
11:38of which plant?
11:40This dish is a rare example of a preparation that treats these leaves as vegetables to be
11:44eaten.
11:45Around the world, they are much more commonly steeped to make a drink.
11:49Harper Adams, Henderson.
11:51Tea leaves?
11:52It is tea leaves.
11:52Well done, yes.
11:54Your bonuses then, Harper Adams, are three questions on the Scottish film director, Kevin

12:06It concerns Joe Simpson and Simon Yates' near-fatal descent from the first successful ascent of
12:11the West face of Sula Grande.
12:16Sorry, 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 and record producer Chris
12:27Blackwell.
12:34Sorry, pass.
12:35That was my hero, Bob Marley.
12:37MacDonald's recent films include a 2024 documentary about which former heavyweight boxer who was
12:42elected mayor of Kiev in 2014?
12:44I need both given name and surname here.

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, orders the death of the
13:50prophets of Yahweh, prompting 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 who refers to
14:00herself as a prophet.
14:01Just like Doris or something.
14:03Is it Jezebel?
14:05Jezebel.
14:05Do you think?
14:06Are you sure?
14:07I don't know.
14:08I would go with Jezebel.
14:09Jezebel.

20:59and leaves the world
21:00to darkness and to me.
21:0218th century,
21:03is this weird period?
21:06Is this something like,
21:07like, Pope or...
21:08I don't know what Pope did.
21:10Is it the poet or the poem?
21:11It's the poem, isn't it?

21:46No, it's Naples.
21:46A poem by Wordsworth
21:48includes the words,
21:49I have felt a presence
21:50that disturbs me
21:51with the joy
21:51of elevated thoughts.
21:53This poem's title is
21:54lines written a few miles above
21:56which ruined building?
21:57Ruined building?
21:58Is it a cathedral?
22:00Or a graveyard?
22:02A church?
22:03Perhaps a cathedral.
22:04I don't know.
22:04Come on.
22:05Do you know?
22:06No.
22:07Pass.
22:07It's Tintern Abbey.
22:08Another start of the question.
22:09Picture round now.
22:09For your picture starter,
22:10you'll see a painting
22:11and for ten points,
22:12name the artist.
22:17Botticelli.
22:17It is Botticelli.
22:18Well done.
22:19For your picture starter,
22:21you saw Botticelli's
22:22depiction of the Annunciation
22:23and for your bonuses,
22:24you're going to see
22:25three more paintings
22:25on this theme.
22:27Name the artist
22:28in each case.
22:29First,
22:30this Italian artist.
22:33Looks kind of
22:33Renaissance.
22:36I don't know.
22:37Maybe it's...
22:39I don't know.
22:41Kitchen?
22:42No, that's by Leonardo.
22:43Secondly,
22:44this artist,
22:44also Italian.
22:45This looks quite old.
22:48I'd be able to go
22:49with Titian for this one,
22:50but I mean...
22:50I don't know.
22:52Only if you don't have
22:52any other ideas.
22:53I just don't know,
22:54to be honest.
22:55Come on.
22:55Titian.
22:55No, it's Crivelli.
22:56Finally?
22:57Oh, this is like...
22:59This is like El Greco
23:00or something.
23:01It looks weird.
23:02Yes, El Greco.
23:03Maybe.
23:03Go with that.
23:04El Greco?
23:04It is El Greco.
23:05Well done.
23:06Now, let's start with the question.

23:20three questions on early setters
23:21of cryptic crosswords.
23:24Edward Poes-Mathers,
23:25author of the puzzle book
23:26Kane's Jawbone
23:27and the first person
23:28to publish crosswords
23:29compiled exclusively
23:30of cryptic clues,
23:31used the name
23:32of which Dominican friar
23:34and leader
23:35of the first Spanish Inquisition
23:36as his pseudonym?
23:39It's for Spanish Inquisition.
23:41Is this like De La Casa?
23:42It's the guy over and then...
23:43Yeah, I would go with that.
23:45De La Casa?
23:45No, it's Torquemada.
23:46Derek Somerset McNutt,
23:48known as a cryptic setter
23:50by the pseudonym Jimenez,
23:51served as Torquemada's successor
23:53at which weekly paper
23:54whose crosswords
23:55are today set by Jimenez's
23:57immediate successor,
23:58Azed?
24:03You got an idea?
24:05At least Monas is a follow-up.
24:07No, it's The Observer.

24:27Um...
24:27No, I don't know.
24:28Come on.
24:28No, fast.
24:29It's Companies by Sondheim.
24:31Stephen Sondheim.
24:32Now start the question.
24:32I'm looking for the name

24:45capital of its country
24:46since...
24:47Strathclyde McHugh.
24:49Madrid.
24:49It is Madrid, yes.
24:50Your bonus is then,
24:51Strathclyde.
24:52Three questions on a physicist.
24:54Which Italian-American physicist
24:55born in 1905
24:56gives his name to a chart
24:58on which the known nuclides
24:59of chemical elements
25:00are plotted
25:01and which provides
25:02a visualisation
25:03of nuclear stability?
25:05Fermi.
25:05Fermi.
25:06Fermi.
25:07No, Segre.
25:07Early in his career,
25:09Segre was one of a group
25:09of young scientists
25:10known as the
25:11Via Panisperna Boys,
25:12working at the University of Rome
25:14under which nuclear physicist?
25:16The group helped
25:17extend his work
25:18on using neutron bombardment
25:19to induce radioactivity.
25:24Erm...
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.
25:34In 1959,
25:35Segre shared the Nobel Prize
25:37in physics with
25:37Owen Chamberlain
25:38for producing and identifying
25:39which antiparticle
25:40composed of two up-anti-quarks
25:43and one down-anti-quark.
25:45Erm...
25:46Antiproton.
25:46I got an apatocytron
25:48or is that an antiproton?
25:49Or no, an antineutron.
25:51Antineutron.
25:51No, but neutron.
25:52Antineutron.
25:53Will that have...
25:54Oh.
25:55Is that an antiproton?
25:56Antiproton.
25:57Antiproton.
25:58Antiproton.
25:59Yes, it is antiproton.
26:00Listen carefully.
26:01Name the two chemical elements
26:03that are both found
26:05in all of the following compounds.
26:07Thiazole,
26:08pyridine,
26:09sodomide
26:09and salammoniac.
26:11They are also both present
26:12in an amino-functional group.
26:15Strafkline, sterling.
26:16Nitraton, hydrogen.
26:17It is indeed.
26:18Yes, well done.
26:19Three questions on the Lake District.
26:21Grant Wood, near Coniston Water,
26:23was the home of what prominent writer
26:25and artist?
26:26In 1851,
26:27he published a pamphlet
26:28defending the Pre-Raphaelites
26:29against hostile abuse.
26:31Rossetti?
26:32Or Wordsworth?
26:33I think he's dead then.
26:35Oh, right, please.
26:35Maybe Rossetti,
26:36because he's Pre-Raphaelite.
26:37Come on.
26:37Is he associated with...
26:38Rossetti?
26:39No, it's John Ruskin.
26:39Blackwell,
26:40above Lake Windermere,
26:41was designed by
26:42Mackay Hugh Bailey Scott
26:44from 1898

26:51Oh, arts and crafts.
26:52Yeah.
26:52Arts and crafts.
26:53Yes.
26:54What smaller lake
26:54shares its name
26:55with a village
26:55that is the location
26:56of Dove Cottage,
26:57where William and Dorothy Wordsworth
26:59lived from 1799?
27:01I think this is Grasmere.
27:02Nominate Lockery.
27:03Grasmere?
27:04It is Grasmere.
27:04Well done.
27:05Another started question.

27:11of which American
27:11political theorist
27:12born in Chicago
27:13in 1952?
27:16Strife-like McHugh.
27:17Fukuyama?
27:18It is Francis Fukuyama, yes.
27:21Three questions on geology.
27:23In 2024,
27:24scientific findings revealed
27:25that the altar stone
27:26of Stonehenge
27:27was transported
27:28not from Wales
27:29but from the north of Scotland,
27:30more than 700 kilometres away.
27:32It is composed
27:33of a sedimentary rock
27:34known as O-R-S.
27:37For what do these letters stand?
27:39Arkney something?
27:40Like Arkney something stone?
27:42Arkney?
27:43O?
27:43Like north of Scotland?
27:45Yeah.
27:46Arkney.
27:46Arkadian.
27:48And out of the goal.
27:49Half-Random is at 45.
27:50The trust slide of 205.
27:55Well, the answer to that last one
27:56was Old Red Sandstone.
27:58Bad luck.
27:59Half-Random,
28:00the thing that is so brutal
28:01about this game
28:01is that when they're quicker
28:03on the buzzers
28:03you have to sit through
28:04the bonuses
28:04which you knew
28:05all the answers to
28:05and I could see
28:06that there were so many
28:07bonus questions
28:07which you guys did know
28:08the answers to
28:09but they were just
28:09slightly quicker
28:10on the starters
28:11so I think in a way
28:11that scoreline
28:12somewhat misrepresents you
28:13but thank you so much
28:14for coming along
28:15and playing so well.
28:16Strathclyde,
28:16that was a brilliant performance
28:17and I know I'm not meant
28:18to pick out individuals
28:18but I've got to say
28:19Captain Jack Sterling
28:20you seem to know
28:20a lot of answers
28:21and that was really,
28:22really impressive
28:22so very well done.
28:24We shall see you again
28:25and I hope you can join us
28:26next time too
28:27for another
28:27first round match
28:28but until then
28:29it is goodbye
28:29from Harper Adams
28:30goodbye
28:31it's goodbye
28:32from Strathclyde
