Well, fuck my old brown boots, it would appear that UC , that former bastion of erudition has now been sold down the Swanee by the quislings at the BBC lovers and has a new clueless melamine enriched host to replace the mighty Paxo.
A replacement for Bamber G was tricky but Paxo’s sneering superiority was magnificent and an absolute joy to watch whilst he belittled the ludicrous pap peddled by the latest intake of ‘uni’ stewdents.
I loved catching UC as a council house kid in the 70’s and it taught me much, however handing the reins to an ethnic who’s only ability is to read an autocue is tantamount to kicking the last brick from the wall of what once used to be the greatest country in the world.
Frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t give the gig to the mighty intellectual that is Rylan Clerk-Cunt. Wankers.
(Apologies for lack of link, I’m sure my fellow cunters will help me out..)

KK’s surprised they didn’t give the gig to Rylan Clark-Cunt.
Personally I’m surprised they didn’t give it to Sasha Johnson.

I’m surprised students have time for university challenge these days,
with all the protesting of endless causes..
should of utilised gary Lineker, he is another no nothing smug ethnic..

Your starter for 10…….
How many Somalians can you get in an RNLI lifeboat? ………have to hurry you……

There is a move to make UC international with foreign universities (sic) taking part.
Knowing the BBC, the first international UC will pit a British University against Jihad College, Gaza. Mind you, it will be difficult to tell the difference between the two sides.
21
Idris Elbowed out of Bond, surely should have being considered for the roll
Snack bar menu for the interim.
Idris will be Blek
13
They should put Benny from Crossroads in charge, given the intellectual level of todays students.
16
Alex Scott would have been a good choice surely? Innit. Someone with the common touch and not another Oxbridge grad.
10
Given the ludicrous subjects studied at university these days, so that foreign students can move their entire families here to scrounge, I think this cunt should fit in well.
I’m sure he does a nice line in cheap anoraks on the market too.
17
The only challenge I have is this present format.
I am still surprised so many people watches the BBC.
12
I have 2 questions:
1. Is anyone else having trouble with the link provided by AA (aka Awesome Admin)?
2. Anyone have former astronaut Frank Borman in the Dead Pool?
7
Frank Borman has died, General? What a shame. He was a legend. The ranks of astronauts who have either seen the moon up close, or walked on it, is thinning out. When they are all gone the moon landing deniers will have a field day, especially without Buzz Aldrin to punch their lights out.

I really respect your posts but did nasa ever go to the moon in that tin can covered in bacofoil , it protected them from 120C to -130C temperatures. The Van Allen belts as well as killing the men would have destroyed the photo record the one that would have meant every moon Walker took 2 photos every second they were on the moon, The best heavy launch platform ever made, nasa just lost the plans for it “the technology was lost” Truths protective layers indeed.

To add insult to injury, they filmed it all in blurry B&W!
It were rubbish compared to Star Trek.

Just think. One of those thick, entitled contestants with an unhealthy interest in subversive politics will soon be working for BBC Verify, most likely.
13
At least he is Indian British and Hindu. All the Hindus I know are hard working, family-orientated and look out for their friends. Amol is intelligent and educated and not the tinted albeeba stooge he may appear to be.
Now if he was a bud bud Mudslime Joe Daki from Parkingstanley, or an onion-headed buck-toothed chicken chaser from Mogadishu, I wouldn’t be so forgiving.
25
Omitted to state that the Hindus I know integrate and respect British values and culture.
21
I agree Paul. Hindus are not a problem and are often solid Brits.
20
Hindus are second only to Sikhs in the good egg immo stakes. Well, maybe Cantonese are in the mix too.
Certainly both better than da feckless Oirish

Good Morning Paul,
I hope the car is going OK I have put the TR into storage over winter.
I quite like Amol Rajan. On the The Today programme he doesn’t have the sneering attitude of Nick Robinson and Mishal Hussain. For once, it isn’t totally obvious how he would vote, he is unfailingly courteous to guests normally thanking them for coming on the programme.
I was doubtful about him doing University Challenge, I thought Lucy Worsley should have had the gig, but after a hesitant start he seems to have a nice interaction with the students. My only criticism is that he reads the questions and answers from the autocue, whereas Bamber Gasgoine would research each Q and A and throw in a bit of erudite knowledge as well. JP had the same fault but read questions from a card which would then head in the general direction of a bin.
Surprisingly the students still amaze me with their knowledge. Like all tertiary education it is stuffed full of foreigners being passéd on knowledge it has taken decades for this country to learn. On Monday they had a win double as they had a Thai ladyboy with an unpronounceable name. Occasionally they have some nice birds on it as well.

A starter for ten
Kneel and Look East ,was written by which famous author
Bizzz Buzzzz Biizzz Biizzz simultaneously, from all the scholarly students.
Amol smiles sideways directly on queue with the camera.
He steals the show.

The BBC is the Labour Party at play. You have to be q ueer, a bulldyke or a dark key or at least have a taste of the tar brush to get in and on.

Amyl nitrite will have his work cut if this is the level of students knowledge nowadays.

Totally clueless yet they have the vote.

I bet they knew their pronouns, which is far more important.

Of late, there has been a few unconvining trànnies on the teams.
10
Unconvincing.

I wouldn’t watch this bollocks if it was the only programme on TV..
it should be law that quiz shows are only presented by ladies in bikinis.

looks like they’ll need to find a new presenter for this student quiz..

it’s him….isn’t it?
Good morning

Let me know if they’re still doing the classical music guessing game, then I might give it a go.

I think Large Heads wrist watch is a fake.
2
Huw Edwards should have been given the gig as part of his rehab. As long as they took his mobile away so that he couldn’t send photos of his arse to the contestants.
Good morning, everyone.
10
The story of Huw has gone very quiet, any updates?
Not that I give a toss.
7
Will there now be a round on tearing down statues of universities’ founders and benefactors and then another one on Black History? Here’s your starter, it’s a bowl of boiled bush meat.
7
I think a guest questionaire, until they find the right one.
2
I’m surprised that UC is still on TV, I thought these woke days everyone was a winner….!

Scumbag College all the way.

University Challenge. Another Granada classic.
Of course, the Beeb have turned it to shit,

Only watched a couple of episodes but I had a mate who watched it every week to impress his parents with what he knew, although he might’ve impresed them more by not being on the dole for 5 years.

Funny enough for a good number of years I have tuned it to UC. Paxo was great, encouraging them, then knocking them down.
A beasting they called it in the old fashioned i army.
I am quite pleased with myself if I answer 1 or 2 correctly and they are generally common sense questions, which these posh cunts don’t have, Ha.
