0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello, and welcome to Only Connect,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26the show that puts the OC into OCD.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29And if you have OCD, you'll be thinking,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32"But what was it before they put the OC into it?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34"Just D? That doesn't work."
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Any viewers who are concerned that I'm poking fun at a condition
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I don't understand, don't worry -
0:00:39 > 0:00:41that's not how we think on this show.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44To be honest, I'm not really thinking about anything apart from
0:00:44 > 0:00:47whether I accidentally touched the light switch an odd number of times
0:00:47 > 0:00:49before I left the dressing room. I might have to go back.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52In the meantime, let's meet the teams.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54On my right, Rob Hannah.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57A company director and qualified lion tamer with
0:00:57 > 0:01:01degrees in linguistics, art history and philosophy.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Craig Element,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05a computer programmer with an interest in classical history, who
0:01:05 > 0:01:10enjoys fantasy sports competitions but is terrified of spiders.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13And their captain, Gareth Kingston,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17a marketing manager and cricket umpire who enjoys creative writing
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and leading walking tours of London.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24United by a passion for the past, they are The History Boys.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Now, Gareth, this isn't the team's first time on Only Connect, is it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30No, we took part in series 2,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34and came up against The Rugby Boys in the first round.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36The all-conquering Rugby Boys, as it turned out.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38They were series champions and we were a first round exit.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40But you're back for another visit?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Well, you know, you learn the lessons of history,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and we waited until you could play the first round and lose
0:01:46 > 0:01:48and still have another go before we'd come back.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50That's the spirit.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54You'll be playing the first round tonight against, on my left,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58John Jenkins, a medieval history tutor and keen record collector
0:01:58 > 0:02:01whose voice is featured on the audio tour of Torre Abbey in Torquay.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Ian Hughson, a law graduate who practises Chinese martial arts
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and enjoys amateur choral singing.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13And their captain, Justin Floyd, a history graduate who hails from
0:02:13 > 0:02:18Georgia and boasts a significant collection of ceramic dog figurines.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22They all live, work and study in Oxford. They are the Oxonians.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So, how have the Oxonians been preparing for Only Connect?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Well, John and his lovely girlfriend invited us over for dinner,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29we had a nice meal
0:02:29 > 0:02:31and then we did a bit of practice for a couple of hours,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34had some chat, so, all in all just pleasant practice,
0:02:34 > 0:02:35nothing too out of the normal for us.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38That sounds horribly relaxed. I'm not sure I approve.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Hey, this was in the evening. We watched Only Connect as well, so...
0:02:43 > 0:02:44That sounds better.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46That always takes the joy out of an evening, I find.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51In Round One I will be asking what is the connection between four
0:02:51 > 0:02:54apparently random clues but if the teams can tell me
0:02:54 > 0:02:57whilst seeing fewer than four clues, they will get more points.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00History Boys, you won the toss. You'll be going first.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Please choose your Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Could I have Lion, please? - You certainly may.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09The music question immediately.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13What is the connection between the clues you're going to hear?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Here's the first.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17MUSIC PLAYS WITH GERMAN LYRICS
0:03:17 > 0:03:18It's Mack The Knife.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Next, please.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23SONG WITH FRENCH LYRICS
0:03:24 > 0:03:27This is original versions of songs...
0:03:31 > 0:03:33THEY CONFER
0:03:34 > 0:03:36BELL
0:03:36 > 0:03:39It's the original language versions of songs that later became
0:03:39 > 0:03:42hits in the English language.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43That is exactly what it is.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Very well done, coming in after two clues. You get three points.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- What did we hear?- Mack The Knife.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Or rather...- Mack Und Knife?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Die Moritat von Mackie Messer.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And, erm, My Way.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Or...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Comme habitude, or something.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01It is Comme d'habitude.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05You didn't need to hear "Io che non vivo senza te", which would be...
0:04:05 > 0:04:06No idea.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You Don't Have To Say You Love Me,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10and of course Mary Hopkin's Those Were The Days,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12in Russian would be...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- I know it in the original... - Dorogoi dlinnoyu.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17You didn't need to hear them.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Well done. Three points for you.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Oxonians, please choose a hieroglyph.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- The Horned Viper, please. - The Horned Viper.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26What is the connection between these clues?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Here's the first.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31OK, Pope John XX, did he die in office?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34WHISPERING
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Next.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Did they have any hats? Did they have a new person involved?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- You know the album? - Not well, no.- Next.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Did it move somewhere? Was it held in January?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Next.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It didn't exist.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Five seconds.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07These are all things that did not exist.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10They did not exist. Very well done.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11What can you tell me about any of the clues?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Well, the Australian Open '86, that's when they moved from December
0:05:14 > 0:05:19to January, and so there was not a December '86 edition of that.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22The 3rd to 13th September 1752 is
0:05:22 > 0:05:25when the change of calendar happened in England, I think.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26It was the move from the Julian
0:05:26 > 0:05:27to the Gregorian calendar.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31And what about Pope John XX?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I guess that Pope John XX
0:05:33 > 0:05:36died before he could take office.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38No, it's actually John XXI
0:05:39 > 0:05:41thought there had already been
0:05:41 > 0:05:45a John XX so took XXI by mistake.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Not so infallible.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49And The Travelling Wilburys Vol. 2,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51there's a Vol. 1 and a Vol. 3,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54but they missed out the middle one, hilariously.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57So, that's a point to you, Oxonians, and back to the History Boys
0:05:57 > 0:05:58to choose a question.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Eye of Horus, please.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02The Eye of Horus.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04What is the connection between these clues?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Here's the first.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Don't know. Erm...
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Next, please.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19These are subtitles of well known books, so, I guess...
0:06:21 > 0:06:24But is there a connection between the titles?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Shall we go one more? Next, please.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Oh, unless...
0:06:32 > 0:06:36A definition of something. Is it history? It's got to be history.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Yeah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Shall we go for it?
0:06:41 > 0:06:42History.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45These are descriptions of history.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47You didn't need to see the last clue, "More or less bunk",
0:06:47 > 0:06:50that was Henry Ford, but various people describing history.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Very well done, History Boys.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55And Oxonians, it's back to you for a choice.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Could we have the Twisted Flax, please?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58You certainly may.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00What connects these clues? Here's the first.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06THEY CONFER
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Next.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Next.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Next.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41One second.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Are these titles of Beatles songs?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49They are not all titles of Beatles songs, so, History Boys, you've got
0:07:49 > 0:07:51the chance for a bonus point.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52All things that are yellow.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54They are all things that are yellow.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56The last one refers to the Beatles
0:07:56 > 0:07:57song Yellow Submarine.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Emberiza citrinella is
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- the yellowhammer, it's a bird.- OK.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Flavivirus febricis...
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Yellow fever?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Yellow fever, when you're all
0:08:06 > 0:08:08shivery and hot, although
0:08:08 > 0:08:09to be honest I am every morning.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10I think it's the gin.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And the first one, Henry Pym,
0:08:12 > 0:08:13who's that?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15That is Giant-Man, or Ant-Man.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Well, now, you see, he's not.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20He is a superhero, sometimes called Ant-Man.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Yellow Jacket is one of the things he was
0:08:23 > 0:08:24in the Marvel comics.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25And sometimes has was Ant-Man
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and his sidekick was a sexy wasp.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29OK, so, a bonus point for you, History Boys,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31and the chance to choose a question.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Two Reeds, please.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Two Reeds.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35What connects these clues?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Here's the first.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Could be anything. Next, please.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Again, could be anything. Could be breeds of cattle, but let's go...
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Next, please.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52They're items named after places.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Well, they're just places, aren't they?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Items of knitwear named after places?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Is Guernsey knitwear?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Do we want to see another one?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Next, please.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Let's say it's items of clothing named after places.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09BELL
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Items of clothing named after a place.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That's exactly what they are.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Do you know Guernsey?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18No, unless you wear a cow or something.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Do you know what a Guernsey is,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- in clothing?- No. A sweater?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It is a sweater, specifically it's worn by people
0:09:24 > 0:09:26playing Australian rules football.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Nobody play Australian rules football here?- No.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32No, we sit inside and read, like proper people.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36OK, Oxonians, one question remains.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I think you can guess it's going to be
0:09:38 > 0:09:40the picture question because we haven't had that yet.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41It's denoted by water.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Here's the first clue.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Ken Dodd's teeth. Buck teeth...
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Next.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Merv Hughes' moustache. Were they all insured?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Yes, insured things. Do we want to get the next one?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Insured parts of the body, it'll be Shane McGowan's teeth or something.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Shall we go with it?- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05BELL
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Insured parts of the body, or things that have been insured?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Well, I'll take it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Can you tell me anything else?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Um, they had something taken out with Lloyd's of London, perhaps?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19That's what it is. All insured by Lloyd's of London.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21The last clue was the Titanic, not a part
0:10:21 > 0:10:24of the body, but neither was it a great gamble by Lloyd's of London.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Ken Dodd's teeth, Merv Hughes' moustache,
0:10:27 > 0:10:28and who is that in the third picture?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30That's the million dollar legs.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Of...- Betty Grable?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It is Betty Grable, with the
0:10:34 > 0:10:36fabulous legs. Well done.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37All things insured by
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Lloyd's of London.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43That means, at the end of Round One, the Oxonians have four points,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45the History Boys have seven.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50In Round Two, the teams still have to work out
0:10:50 > 0:10:53the connection between four apparently random clues, but they
0:10:53 > 0:10:56may not see the fourth clue because I want to know what it is.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00The clues will come in sequence and I will ask what should be fourth.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02History Boys, you're going first again.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Which question would you like?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Could I have Lion, please?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Lion. OK. You will see
0:11:06 > 0:11:08the first in a series of clues.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11What would you expect to see fourth?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13The time starts now.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17These are the first James Bond films,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19starting with Moore, Dalton...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22So, it'll be Daniel Craig and...
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Casino Royale's baddie was
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Le Chiffre.- Shall we go for it?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Craig, Le Chiffre..
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It can't go back the other way, can it?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32There was Moore, Dalton, Brosnan.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- It can't go back the other way.- No.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38BELL
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Craig, Le Chiffre.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Goodness me, you've spent a lot
0:11:41 > 0:11:43of Boxing Days in front of the TV.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45The answer is Craig, Le Chiffre.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47They are the first villains
0:11:47 > 0:11:48encountered by successive
0:11:48 > 0:11:50James Bonds.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Dr Kananga, General Koskov,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Alec Trevelyan and the first
0:11:53 > 0:11:55villain met by Daniel Craig was
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Le Chiffre, the terrible poker
0:11:57 > 0:11:58player. But then again,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01James Bond in that film was also a terrible poker player.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Everyone in the film was a terrible poker player.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Let me tell you, I'd like to have got my hands
0:12:05 > 0:12:07on a suitcase full of money and joined that game.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Oxonians.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10The Horned Viper, please.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11The Horned Viper.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14What would you expect to see fourth in this sequence?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Here's the first.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Things the Romans did for us.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22THEY CONFER
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I can't think of the sequence...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Sanitation, healthcare, something like that.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Next.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Yeah, OK. It's either the roads or the healthcare, isn't it?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41We'd have to go for another one to be sure.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Next.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Five seconds.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53BELL
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Fourth, the medicine or the healthcare.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Not the answer, I'm afraid,
0:12:57 > 0:12:58so another bonus chance for you,
0:12:58 > 0:12:59History Boys.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I need your answer right away.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Education.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Not it either. Far more important.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Fourth, irrigation.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10I think you recognised these are
0:13:10 > 0:13:12things the Romans have done for us,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14according to The Life Of Brian,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16and fourth would be irrigation.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18OK, History Boys, what would you like now?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Eye of Horus, please.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Eye of Horus. What would be the fourth in this sequence?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Here's the first.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Is this circles of Hell?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Something like that?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Next, please.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35THEY CONFER
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Next, please.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42So, what's the ninth?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Is it something like Rake's Progress or something like that?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Possession is nine tenths of the law, is that what it is?- No.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Don't think so.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56These are sins, aren't they?
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Five seconds.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02BELL
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Ninth, drunkenness.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Not the answer, by any means.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Oxonians, you have the
0:14:08 > 0:14:10chance of a bonus point.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Ninth, treason.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'll take it. Treason, or treachery.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17These are the sixth, seventh,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19eighth and ninth circles of Hell,
0:14:19 > 0:14:20according to Dante,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22and what's the tenth circle of Hell?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Where Satan is, himself?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Chewing on the bodies of...
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Actually, no.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29In the published works of Dante
0:14:29 > 0:14:30there are only nine circles,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32and the ninth and final one
0:14:32 > 0:14:33is treachery. But in what they
0:14:33 > 0:14:34call the Lost Papers,
0:14:34 > 0:14:38tenth circle is The Connecting Wall.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40You'll be meeting that later.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Oxonians, what would you like as a question?
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Can we have Two Reeds, please?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Yes, you may.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46These are going to be picture clues.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Next.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02That is a person. He's a singer, probably.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Next.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Well, that's Iggy Pop.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Something pop. Snap, crackle, pop?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Don't recognise that.- No.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Who was the second one?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Five seconds.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31BELL
0:15:31 > 0:15:32A bottle of water fizzing.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And why would that be?
0:15:34 > 0:15:35I think it might be the sequence
0:15:35 > 0:15:37snap, crackle, pop, fizz.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I think I'm combining two different merchandise slogans, though.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42That's not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43History Boys, bonus chance for you.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45A picture of a pup.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47It is a picture of a pup.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49A lovely seal pup, we've gone for.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50And why is that?
0:15:50 > 0:15:57You've got Pep Guardiola, Pip, as in Gladys Knight and the Pips, Iggy Pop.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01So, you've got P and P with an E, I, O and then U for Pup.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03That's right, we're changing the
0:16:03 > 0:16:05vowel going through the alphabet.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Pep, pip, pop, pup.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08History Boys, your turn.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Twisted Flax, please.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Twisted Flax. What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Types of territory, erm,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20African territory.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23What would come fourth? Next.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Are these women's names?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36But what would be next?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42These are the Queen's grandkids.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Are they?- Could be.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45George is the most recent.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47There's a new one, isn't there?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Yes, it's...
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Five seconds.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54BELL
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Mia Grace.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Mia is all we need to hear
0:16:58 > 0:17:00because, as I heard you muttering,
0:17:00 > 0:17:04these are the Queen's great- grandchildren in order of birth.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07George is the one that would be ahead in line to the
0:17:07 > 0:17:09throne in that list,
0:17:09 > 0:17:10and Mia is the latest daughter of
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Zara Tindall and her husband Mike.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19Well done. Oxonians, one question remains again. I believe it's water.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22What would be the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26John Mortimer?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Emily Mortimer?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Next.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38THEY CONFER
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Next.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Oh, these are British champions...
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Female tennis champions?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, they're British as well.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Three seconds.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02BELL
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Murray, 2013.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06That is the answer.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Yes, when Andy Murray won Wimbledon
0:18:08 > 0:18:09and everybody said,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11"Oh, we haven't had a champion since Fred Perry."
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Not the case, we had Mortimer, 1961.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Haydon Jones, 1969. Wade, 1977.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Those noble women who were British Wimbledon singles champions.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27That means at the end of Round 2, the Oxonians have seven points.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29The History Boys have 15.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Time now for that tenth circle of Hell. It's the Connecting Wall.
0:18:35 > 0:18:3916 clues that need sorting into four connected groups of four.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Oxonians, your turn to go first this time,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45and you have the choice, Lion or Water?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- We'd like the Water Wall, please.- OK.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50You have got two and a half minutes to solve the Water Wall,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52starting now.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58OK, Carrie is a Stephen King... Grease and Hairspray are both...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Macaroni penguin, Emperor penguin.- Yes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Rockhopper penguin and... King penguin.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07There's four, but do we have a fifth one that could be...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09The Bolt penguin, is that one?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Holding position.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Bolt.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Oh, these are Jamaicans. Holding and Bolt.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Bolt, Marley...
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Holding and...Jones?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31OK, elbow grease, elbow room, elbow joint and elbow spin.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34So those four are the only four it can be, I think.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Elbow spin?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39So, fairy...liquid?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Basic is a computer language.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Shall we get the elbow things out the way?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Then we only have three guesses left.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Let's try the penguins. Rockhopper, Emperor, Macaroni and King.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Do we have a fifth it could be?
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Fairy penguin?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I can imagine a fairy penguin.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03OK, we'll try it with that.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Three strikes now.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Elbow joint, elbow room, elbow grease, OK...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16They're all musicals, aren't they? Oh, no.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Hairspray is a musical. Macaroni...and cheese.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Macaroni was the name for toffs in the 18th century.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Basic is a programming language.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- Carry on films. Carrie Fisher.- Cary Grant?- No, it's different spelling.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Hairspray is Ricki Lake. John Travolta...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Who starred in Carrie, in the film? - You've got 30 seconds.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Two strikes now.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Elbow macaroni?
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Five seconds.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18That's it. You've solved the Wall with just a few seconds to go.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21And you'll get extra points for the connections.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24So, Jones, Marley, Bolt, Holding.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Those are all Jamaicans, I believe.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Celebrated Jamaicans. It was Grace Jones at the beginning.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Bob Marley, of course. Usain Bolt and Michael Holding the cricketer.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And the next one. Rockhopper, Fairy, Emperor, King.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Types of penguin, or names of penguins.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Those are the penguins.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Spin, Macaroni, Joint, Room.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46All can be prefixed by elbow.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48That's right. It's elbow macaroni you hadn't come across.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50It's just a little tubular pasta.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Oh. Yes.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57That's it. I've come across most types of pasta,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00as the viewers in HD can probably see.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02And the last group,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Carrie, Basic, Hairspray, Grease.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Are these all musicals?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10They are not all musicals.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Now, I heard you muttering this while you were playing the wall, so
0:22:13 > 0:22:16you'll kick yourselves. They are all films featuring John Travolta.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I just said it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Yes, but you do get four points for finding the groups,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23three bonus points for the connections.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24That is a total of seven.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27So, a fresh torturous Connecting Wall has been prepared
0:22:27 > 0:22:30for the History Boys, who'll be coming back in for their turn.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Still need to sort it out into four connected groups of four.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36You'll be getting the Lion Wall, because Water's been taken.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40You have two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Bath buns, Chelsea buns...
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Doge, Venice. Cathode ray...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Madeley. Richard Madeley.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Boarding. Snowboarding? Oh, no.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Ski boarding.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Wellington boots. Gum boots.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07What other types of boots...
0:23:07 > 0:23:10What's Ludlow going to be? That's in Shropshire, isn't it?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Shrewsbury's in Shropshire.- Yeah.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Unless we go for buns...
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Noel Coward.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Are these dogs? Wellington, Churchill dog.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- Bolt's a dog, isn't it? - Yes, it is, yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Oh, yeah. Doge is a dog from the internet, it's like a meme.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Churchill's a dog.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Snow...Snowy?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43What would Cathode be?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well, you have cathode ray, you have...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51We've still got buns. Bath bun, Chelsea bun...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59What could Coward be?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Words at the end? You've got now, ode...
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Maybe.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05It's a bit tenuous.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You've got a minute left.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Is Bolt that dog from... Are we still on dogs?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Girls' names. Cath...
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- You've got animals. - Oh, yeah. Cow, dog...
0:24:29 > 0:24:30We've got two cows now.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Bat.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35And Boar.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42And Cat, you've got Cat.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Don't forget Cat.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Ten seconds.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Three strikes.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Cowboy, snow, gum...
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Three seconds.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04That's it. The time is up.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05But you found two groups
0:25:05 > 0:25:07and you can get bonus points for the connections.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Shrewsbury, Wellington, Ludlow, Madeley.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Places in Shropshire.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14They're all in Shropshire.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Bath, Boarding, Doge, Cathode.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22They've all got animals' names in them. Bat, Boar, Dog, Cat.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25That's right. Hidden at the beginning, Bat, Boar, Dog, Cat.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Animal names at the start.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29And you can still get points for the connections
0:25:29 > 0:25:31in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Chelsea, Gum, Snow, Cowboy.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It's boots, is it?
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Boots.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Those are the boots.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42You started looking for that group early and gave up.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- You didn't look for Chelsea. - Didn't know Chelsea.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47And the last group. Bolt, Bond, Churchill, Coward.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Are these fictional dogs?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54They are not dogs.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57What they are is English playwrights.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Robert Bolt, Edward Bond, Caryl Churchill, Noel Coward.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Playwrights.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05But you get two points for finding the groups
0:26:05 > 0:26:06and three more points for connections.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08That is a total of five.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Let's have a look at the scores going into Round 4.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21The final round is the Missing Vowels round. We've taken well-known
0:26:21 > 0:26:23names, phrases and sayings, taken out the vowels
0:26:23 > 0:26:25and squidged up the consonants.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I want to know what the hidden words are.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So, fingers on buzzers.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33The first group are all things that come in twelves.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41BELL
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Labours of Hercules.

0:27:22 > 0:27:23BELL
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Opportunity Knocks.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Indeed, so, the next category.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30They include or contain cabbages.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06END-OF-ROUND JINGLE
0:28:08 > 0:28:10No time to give me the answer to the last one,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13which would've been Boiled Beef and Carrots.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Not sure how many old music-hall songs you guys know over there.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20But that is the end of the round, and the final scores are...
0:28:25 > 0:28:26So, very well done, History Boys.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28You are straight through to the next round.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31But, Oxonians, you're also through to the next round.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Just a slightly worse next round.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37In our structure that I still don't completely understand.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41But we'll be seeing all of you again, and that's it for tonight.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44The next confrontation will be between host and wine glass.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Goodbye.
