University Challenge, especially Monkman

[Nettletheelf]

Is it just me who thinks that Monkman, the captain of the Wolfson college, Cambridge, team is the best thing on TV?

[Nettletheelf]

He was a bit smug & gloaty when he got an answer right but I put it down to his being the underdog against the nation's favourite, Monkman.

[TheRattleBag]

I guess I'm the only person who found Goldman to be annoyingly smug and sneery?

And I hated the way he interrupted Paxman (until it got nearer to the end and they were in front and playing for time).

Maybe he was just nervous.... but I'm not convinced!

We have so little practice at it, yatata

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Yup!

[MontalbanoFan]

I must say, all eight finalists appear to be thoroughly good eggs.

The Balliol team have officially become my heroes:

[BagelGoesWalking]

Nettle, wouldn't that be great?!

[mousymary]

Monkman and Bobby Seagull are apparently now good friends... awwwww.

Was supporting Monkman & crew all the way but all eight were smiling so nicely at the end when they got the trophy.

Really enjoyed this series!

[Nettletheelf]

Surely we have not seen the last of Monkman. Bobby Seagull is in talks to present a TV show on maths, Monkman could be the BBC's new economics correspondent!

However, in this article is a young Eric in a quiz in Canada.

Gracious in defeat, good old Monkman!

I would ruin Pope, I have decided. Especially now I've seen him standing up.

[Yatatata]

You Tabs are such sore losers

[Megatherium]

I thought Balliol thoroughly deserved the win. I love the faces their captain pulls.

[KarlosKKrinkelbeim]

At least the oxford tossers were made to go to Cambridge to get the trophy! Ha!

[MontalbanoFan]

Bugger.

[KarlosKKrinkelbeim]

Ooh now caius is on! Must be hawking!

[Helenluvsrob]

Ooh close but Goldman had the cooler head !

[EffinElle]

Shit! Say it ain't so

[KarlosKKrinkelbeim]

Smug Oxonian wankers 😡

[bookworm14]

Monkman is too trigger-happy tonight!

[MumBod]

[Iwanttoseethesea]

I bet his pulse is racing ....

[TroysMammy]

Aw look at Monkman's little face when he gets a question wrong.

[EffinElle]

It"s close!

[Iwanttoseethesea]

Exciting stuff !!!
