22:16 - Paxman's hesitation in ruling the answer incorrect is due to the fact that the movie is a remake/version of Johnson's answer under a different name.
He's overly hasty, argues, and gets it wrong twice on the same question, while - granted - being entertaining in the process. A portent of things to come?
Mr. Paxman's got the answer in front of him and Boris still tries to bloody defend his mistake! He likes to be right but never had the smarts for it for sure
Extraordinary how some people's loathing of the good Mr Paxman makes them use just any old nastiness to describe his reactions. To describe his reaction at 9:57 as a sneer is not just wrong, it's simply st*p*d. Such corruption of the language is one of the worst manifestations of Wokery.
@@castelodeossos3947 I do not loathe Jeremy Paxman. He is as far as I know a perfectly decent and honourable man, but it cannot be overlooked that he is pompous and self-regarding, which possibly explains your affinity for him.
Sadly the CONcervative membership voted wrongly back in August but it would so good of Klaus Schwab to help the parliamentary party get the right answer second time round
@@BlueBlazer47 I guess so, but change has happened so rapidly in the lifetimes of old people alive today that anyone who didn't change their mind for a few decades might be considered arch conservative too

If only the studio had fallen into a pit of lava that day, we'd have been spared so many arseholes.
you sound like a fun guy
Keep Hitchens at least
@@Rootle2 fuck no
@@MrEggcake At least he's one of the only pundits who can think, whether you agree with him or not
Absolutely, Johnson particularly.
Watching this now in 2022-2023 knowing it's paxman's last season on the show... makes me sad.
Boris displayed the same behaviour he later brought to the Prime Ministership
Imagine if after watching this in '99 someone told you that in about 20 years Boris would be PM...
The funniest challenge I've ever watched so far. I love it😂
Johnson confidentally and wrongly arguing that Diana/Artemis were the Gods of Fertility and Love was pretty funny

An only connect episode did the same thing last Christmas. Much needed, I agree
Good point now that you mention it

I believe in fact a "gender swap"
Boris was very good at the Beano.
5:15-5:50 Trust Boris Johnson To Pick A Fight With Jeremy Paxman

We've been putting up with these shits for years!
20:48. It clicked as soon as cocaine was mentioned!
should be called Parsons vs. Johnson
Friday 1st January 1999
“…..and their team captain….” Oh dear 😅
Tony Parsons is more chipper and relaxed than I would've expected. Boris Johnson should've stuck with punditry. He was harmless then.
That lad Johnson is smart. He'll go far.
Paxo still in the chair as usual.
He's unfortunately stepping down after the next series due to parkinsons
@@WGOWeekdayGamersOfficial Amol Rajan Will Replace Paxman But It Won’t Have The Studio Audience
The rate at which Paxman used to fire off questions is in stark (but sadly understandable) contrast to his current pace.
Quark was a perfectly satisfactory guess, not sure why Paxo felt the need to sneer. Force of habit, I suppose.

I think he doesn't like Johnson for some reason. But yes, derision is just the Paxman style
@@castelodeossos3947: I agree with the gist of your comment, but you ended it by misusing the term "Wokery".
5:45 rare belly laugh from Peter Hitchens
Has Boris Johnson always dressed like a toe-rag (tow-rag?)?
Oh Boris, you are still the same
Does Bojo have ADHD? I am Canadian, so I haven't seen much of him on tv over the years.
He has Tosser Syndome.
@@aaropajari7058 i reckon he has NPD and ASPD hence why he reckons he's beyond the law
he is amazing 😉
Moore and Aitkenhead were crap.
Yes they were but very easy on the eye, which is probably why they were there.
Aitkenhead got several answers right. I suspect mild misogyny.
8:49 is Rishi Sunak

Boris is pretty cleaver
But not politician material. No integrity.

JP has not aged well, at all, has he….even considering the Parkinson’s
Did Peter Hitchens lose his sense of humour after the episode of this show was finished filming?
He became a parody of himself.
I think he just became progressively more depressed with the state of the country
