  • Today's match is between Wolfson College, Cambridge and School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). It started off quite unpromising, but it definitely is a quite tense match. Delightful people too, although Monkman reminds me of those shady characters from 90s Japanese comics (and an unkempt European version of Mitsuhirato). On another note, Yang must have been in some Knowledge Bowl circuit back in the days. No one answer questions like that.
    Original air date 19.9.2016

    Love the way Monkman answers questions as if his life depended on it

  • @tbirdparis
    @tbirdparis Před 6 lety +46

    Monkman's fierce intensity and sheer dismissal of even attempting to use inside voice despite having a microphone. This is the stuff inspiration is made of.

    @jaspergriffin Před 7 lety +192

    Considering the limited spread of what SOAS was reading, I thought they pulled off an impressive performance. Thanks for the upload ^^

      One of the best SOAS teams to appear on this show. Great team.

    the elder gentleman is sir david bostock, he was a retiree and a longterm public administration official who was an auditor for the EU, great man, sad to know that he died before this episode was aired

  • @nightowl7777
    @nightowl7777 Před 7 lety +96

    Of particular note: This episode was dedicated to the memory of SOAS student David Bostock, who died earlier that month -- just weeks prior to its airing. (See 29:24.)
    His MA in South East Asian Studies was to be awarded posthumously at a future graduation ceremony. R.I.P. Sir.

    Monkman is so serious and eager to answer the questions that he reminds me of Hermione Granger.

  • @stephennelson7884

    Enjoyed that. Monkman is probably the only person to have shouted at Paxo for 30 minutes and raised nothing more than a chuckle from him.

  • @mistery4437
    @mistery4437 Před 7 lety +17

    It is a Monkman versus Edwards duel. Edwards was lightning quick on the buzzer and Monkman was hogging
    away on the bonuses. Edwards should have been the winner but for the clincher by Monkman's sidekick,
    Ben Choudary. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

      Aha!! Makes sense -- because your times didn't fit with Bostock -- however at 20.01 (instead of 19.01) -- it looked like he was almost asleep -- so then I just figured that whatever player you used was "out" in the time department!! It's all good!! Was a great match -- that went down to the wire. :)
