Hello, and welcome to Only Connect,

0:00:210:00:23

the quiz where contestants have to find hidden connections

0:00:230:00:26

between clues so random and incongruent

0:00:260:00:28

they could be the ingredients of a Findus lasagne.

0:00:280:00:31

Obviously, the ingredients of a Findus lasagne

0:00:310:00:33

aren't random and incongruent. It's all horse.

0:00:330:00:36

It's not all horse, I'm sure our lawyers would like me to point out.

0:00:360:00:39

That was a long time ago.

0:00:390:00:40

The procedures have changed. It was never all horse.

0:00:400:00:43

The ingredients of a Findus lasagne are exactly as they should be.

0:00:430:00:46

So if you want to eat one, giddy-up!

0:00:460:00:49

Tonight's teams are, on my right...

0:00:490:00:52

Richard Bradley,

0:00:520:00:53

a software engineer with a degree in maths,

0:00:530:00:55

who has reverse-engineered a PlayStation game

0:00:550:00:58

to add extra levels.

0:00:580:00:59

Zoe Cunningham, a managing director

0:00:590:01:02

and competitive backgammon player,

0:01:020:01:04

who was once falsely accused of appearing in a film

0:01:040:01:07

with Katie Holmes.

0:01:070:01:09

And their captain, David Simons,

0:01:090:01:11

a software consultant and fitness enthusiast,

0:01:110:01:14

who has sprinted through London Zoo naked, painted as a tiger.

0:01:140:01:17

United by a passion for programming, they are the Coders.

0:01:170:01:21

How does a career in coding help a team prepare for Only Connect?

0:01:210:01:25

So, a lot of the work that we do

0:01:250:01:26

involves picking up vague requirements from our customers,

0:01:260:01:29

trying to find patterns and common themes with them,

0:01:290:01:32

and making it so simple a computer could do it.

0:01:320:01:35

So, hopefully, that will put us in good stead for tonight.

0:01:350:01:37

You are facing, on my left...

0:01:370:01:40

Filip Drnovsek Zorko, a Cambridge University student,

0:01:400:01:44

who is followed on Twitter by the President of Slovenia.

0:01:440:01:47

James Robson, a trainee teacher

0:01:470:01:49

who can read up to 1,000 pages of text in six hours.

0:01:490:01:53

And their captain, Frederic Heath-Renn,

0:01:530:01:55

a cryptic crossword enthusiast who has played ping-pong

0:01:550:01:58

in a salt mine and once saw a spoon used by Lenin.

0:01:580:02:01

United by a gift for gaming, they are the Gamesmasters.

0:02:010:02:05

So, Frederic, your team favours the more recreational side of gaming.

0:02:050:02:09

How does playing computer games help you prepare you for this quiz?

0:02:090:02:13

Well, we feel that Only Connect is a lot like a computer game

0:02:130:02:16

because there's a lot of puzzles, and if you don't solve them in time,

0:02:160:02:19

monsters come out of the floor and kill you.

0:02:190:02:22

Like a computer game... Let's see if it is.

0:02:220:02:25

We can't find out without playing the quiz.

0:02:250:02:27

Let's start with Round One.

0:02:270:02:28

What is the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:02:280:02:31

Coders, you won the toss. You're going first.

0:02:310:02:34

So, David, which hieroglyph would you like?

0:02:340:02:36

Can we have the Two Reeds, please?

0:02:360:02:37

Two Reeds will be the first question of this particular quiz.

0:02:370:02:41

The first clue is coming in now.

0:02:410:02:45

-Doctor... All kinds of doctors.

-Doctor Who.

0:02:470:02:49

Next, please.

0:02:490:02:50

There was a children's card game...

0:02:520:02:54

-Oh, yeah, yeah.

-Just like...

0:02:540:02:57

There's also been shows of Doctors and Neighbours.

0:02:570:02:59

-Soaps.

-I think we should go...

-Next, please.

0:02:590:03:03

-Friends.

-There we go.

-So they are...

0:03:030:03:05

-They're shows. When pluralised, they make TV shows.

-Yeah, OK.

0:03:050:03:08

BELL

0:03:080:03:09

When pluralised, they make TV shows.

0:03:090:03:12

You didn't need the last clue. Spook.

0:03:120:03:15

You can add an S to make a TV show.

0:03:150:03:17

Coming in after three clues, you get two points.

0:03:170:03:20

-Gamesmasters, your choice.

-Twisted Flax, please.

0:03:200:03:23

More properly known as the "wick of twisted flax".

0:03:230:03:26

What is the connection between these clues?

0:03:260:03:28

Here is the first.

0:03:280:03:30

-Next.

-Next.

0:03:320:03:33

Is there some sport in which you can score 155?

0:03:350:03:40

300 is the maximum score in bowling,

0:03:400:03:42

but that's completely... Want to try next?

0:03:420:03:44

I think so. Next.

0:03:440:03:45

27 up, 27 down.

0:03:480:03:49

-OK...

-I've no idea.

-No.

0:03:490:03:51

-Could it be scores?

-Just next...

0:03:530:03:55

Next, please.

0:03:550:03:57

-Yes.

-Oh, that's darts.

0:03:580:04:00

-That is darts.

-It's the amount of...

0:04:000:04:02

-the thing you want to get in a game.

-Aren't they...?

0:04:020:04:06

Press. BELL

0:04:060:04:07

Three seconds.

0:04:070:04:08

Are they the best possible results in sports?

0:04:080:04:11

Yes, I'll accept that answer.

0:04:120:04:14

They are known as perfect games. The third one isn't

0:04:140:04:17

exactly a result. What are we looking at?

0:04:170:04:19

501 in 9 is darts.

0:04:190:04:23

300 is a perfect game of bowling.

0:04:230:04:25

300 would be 12 strikes in tenpin bowling, yeah.

0:04:250:04:27

Um, 155...

0:04:270:04:30

-It's not...

-Snooker or some...

0:04:300:04:31

Snooker is 147. I think there is a break in snooker

0:04:310:04:34

where you can theoretically get bonus points for something.

0:04:340:04:37

In snooker, it would be a 147 break if, just before that,

0:04:370:04:40

-your opponent had fouled.

-Yes.

0:04:400:04:42

And that third one,

0:04:420:04:43

do you know what that is? 27 up, 27 down?

0:04:430:04:45

I don't think I do.

0:04:450:04:46

Professional stair climbers!

0:04:460:04:48

It's baseball.

0:04:480:04:50

It's when three batters are out in each of nine innings

0:04:500:04:52

and none of them have reached first base,

0:04:520:04:54

then the pitchers have had a perfect game.

0:04:540:04:58

So, highest possible scores or perfect games

0:04:580:05:00

is the answer for one point.

0:05:000:05:02

Coders, your turn

0:05:020:05:03

to choose a question.

0:05:030:05:04

-Can we have the Lion question, please?

-You certainly may.

0:05:040:05:07

-CHIME

-Oh, the music question.

0:05:070:05:09

You may be sorry you asked.

0:05:090:05:10

OK, you'll be hearing these clues.

0:05:100:05:12

Something connects them. I want to know what.

0:05:120:05:14

The time starts now.

0:05:140:05:16

# My friends don't come around me... #

0:05:160:05:19

-Some kind of jazz.

-Do you know it?

0:05:190:05:21

-# Because I've been so blind... #

-Do you think you'll get it? Next.

0:05:210:05:24

# Just hold me close... #

0:05:240:05:26

This is... This is one of these that everyone knows.

0:05:260:05:31

-Coldplay?

-I don't know.

-Take That?

0:05:310:05:34

Oh, yeah, it is.

0:05:340:05:36

# Cos I... #

0:05:360:05:37

Shine. Next, please.

0:05:370:05:39

# I don't ever want to feel like I... #

0:05:390:05:42

Red Hot Chili Peppers,

0:05:420:05:43

Under The Bridge.

0:05:430:05:45

# Take me to the place... #

0:05:450:05:46

Next, please.

0:05:460:05:48

# I want to roll with him, a hard pair we will be... #

0:05:480:05:51

-Card games.

-Yeah.

-BELL

0:05:510:05:53

They all contain card games in their title.

0:05:530:05:56

The answer is

0:05:560:05:57

card games in the name. What did we hear?

0:05:570:05:59

So, Under The Bridge.

0:05:590:06:00

Fantastic. Under The Bridge by...?

0:06:000:06:03

-Red Hot Chili Peppers.

-Mm-hm.

0:06:030:06:05

-Poker Face by Lady Gaga.

-Yeah.

0:06:050:06:07

We thought we heard Shine, but probably not.

0:06:070:06:09

-What, Take That?

-Yeah.

0:06:090:06:11

Patience was the Take That track.

0:06:110:06:12

And did you not know the first one?

0:06:120:06:14

-No.

-Did you know it over there?

0:06:140:06:16

-No.

-Ray Charles - Blackjack.

0:06:160:06:18

But they all contain the names of card games. Very well done.

0:06:180:06:21

That's a point for you. Back to the Gamesmasters

0:06:210:06:23

for a choice.

0:06:230:06:25

Horned Viper.

0:06:250:06:26

The Horned Viper.

0:06:260:06:27

These are picture clues. What is the connection between them?

0:06:270:06:30

Here's the first.

0:06:300:06:32

The Little Match Girl.

0:06:350:06:37

Next.

0:06:370:06:38

I don't recognise that, I'm afraid.

0:06:400:06:43

Next.

0:06:430:06:44

Um, it's definitely a band. I don't know who.

0:06:460:06:50

-Next.

-Next.

0:06:500:06:52

-That's the people from Little Britain.

-It is.

0:06:550:06:58

What are their names? The names of those characters?

0:06:580:07:00

Um... I'm not getting...

0:07:000:07:02

It's a girl band.

0:07:020:07:04

-What girl bands are there?

-All Saints.

0:07:040:07:06

-I don't think it's All Saints.

-Three seconds.

0:07:060:07:08

BELL

0:07:080:07:10

Are they all found on the Tube map?

0:07:100:07:14

They are not all found on the Tube map.

0:07:140:07:16

That is a nice quizzy sort of guess.

0:07:160:07:17

I suppose they might have been, but no.

0:07:170:07:19

Coders, the chance of a bonus point.

0:07:190:07:21

Um, they are called Florence.

0:07:210:07:24

-One of them is called Florence.

-Or have members called Florence.

0:07:240:07:27

No.

0:07:270:07:28

Florence in the last clue would be one of the characters

0:07:280:07:31

in Little Britain.

0:07:310:07:33

But, no. You recognised Little Britain.

0:07:330:07:35

The first image is from the frontispiece

0:07:350:07:38

of the 1857 edition of Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit.

0:07:380:07:41

Second one, Jane Horrocks as the title character

0:07:410:07:44

in the film Little Voice.

0:07:440:07:46

Do you want to have a go at who the girl band might be now?

0:07:460:07:48

-Little Mix.

-Little Mix.

0:07:480:07:50

Little Dorrit, Little Voice, Little Mix, and Little Britain,

0:07:500:07:52

all known as "little" something.

0:07:520:07:55

No points are there. Coders, you have the last choice of the round.

0:07:550:07:59

-Water please.

-Water, OK.

0:07:590:08:00

What is the connection between these clues?

0:08:000:08:03

Here's the first.

0:08:030:08:04

-Little Yellow God...

-Isn't it a poem

0:08:060:08:08

-about Timbuktu or something?

-OK.

0:08:080:08:11

Next, please.

0:08:110:08:12

Faces. The jacks have different eyes.

0:08:160:08:18

Yeah. I've got a funny feeling that... And different weapons.

0:08:180:08:21

I think one of them has a beard. Next, please.

0:08:210:08:24

-Mascots for the Olympics.

-They have funny eyes, don't they?

0:08:260:08:30

-Oh!

-They've got one eye. They've only got one eye.

-Yeah. I'd go with that.

0:08:300:08:34

BELL

0:08:340:08:36

They only have one eye.

0:08:360:08:39

They only have, or had, one eye.

0:08:390:08:40

You didn't need to see the last giveaway clue. A darning needle.

0:08:400:08:43

What can you tell me

0:08:430:08:45

about what you're looking at?

0:08:450:08:46

Wenlock and Mandeville were the mascots

0:08:460:08:48

-for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games.

-That's right.

0:08:480:08:51

The jack of hearts has one eye.

0:08:510:08:54

Right. Which other jack has one eye?

0:08:540:08:56

-The other red one.

-It's not.

0:08:560:08:57

It's the jack of spades. It's the major suits,

0:08:570:09:00

the one-eyed jacks that sometimes people use as wild cards.

0:09:000:09:03

And what about that first one?

0:09:030:09:04

I think it's in a poem, an old Victorian poem

0:09:040:09:07

-about Timbuktu. I can't remember the name.

-Kathmandu.

0:09:070:09:09

"There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu."

0:09:090:09:12

It's a 1911 poem by J Milton Hayes,

0:09:120:09:15

sometimes misattributed to Kipling,

0:09:150:09:17

-but actually it's rather a parody of Kipling.

-Right.

-Very well done.

0:09:170:09:20

You get two points again.

0:09:200:09:22

And, Gamesmasters,

0:09:220:09:23

the last question of the round, the Eye of Horus.

0:09:230:09:27

Only one eye. What is the connection between these clues?

0:09:270:09:30

Here's the first.

0:09:300:09:31

It's The Frog Chorus by Paul McCartney and Wings. Er...

0:09:330:09:36

-Next.

-Next.

0:09:360:09:37

Er, oh, frogs,

0:09:390:09:40

-because that's what the frogs say in The Frogs.

-Yeah.

0:09:400:09:42

BELL RINGS

0:09:420:09:44

Frogs.

0:09:440:09:45

Coming in after two clues, you get three points.

0:09:450:09:48

They are all said by frogs.

0:09:480:09:49

We All Stand Together,

0:09:490:09:51

Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus.

0:09:510:09:52

Didn't need to see It's Not Easy Bein' Green, old Kermit,

0:09:520:09:55

and the traditional Ribbit.

0:09:550:09:57

But you noticed it at the second clue.

0:09:570:09:58

-What's that?

-Erm, it's what...

0:09:580:10:00

It's the onomatopoeia for what

0:10:000:10:02

frogs say in Frogs by Aristophanes.

0:10:020:10:04

That's right. Brekekekex koax koax,

0:10:040:10:06

Aristophanes' The Frogs. Well done.

0:10:060:10:09

At the end of Round One,

0:10:090:10:10

the Gamesmasters have four points,

0:10:100:10:12

the Coders have five.

0:10:120:10:14

Round Two is the Sequences Round.

0:10:170:10:18

There are still four clues and a connection between them,

0:10:180:10:21

but they come sequentially, and the fourth clue is

0:10:210:10:23

hidden from the contestants because I want to know what it is.

0:10:230:10:27

Coders, you'll be going first this time.

0:10:270:10:29

Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:10:290:10:31

-Can I have the Eye of Horus please?

-Yes, you can.

0:10:310:10:34

I would like to know what comes fourth

0:10:340:10:36

in this sequence. Here's the first.

0:10:360:10:38

-Galaxy.

-So it could be...

-Chocolate!

0:10:390:10:41

The size of things?

0:10:410:10:43

Next please.

0:10:430:10:45

-OK.

-Universe.

-So after galaxy, universe,

0:10:460:10:48

the obvious thing would be multiverse or something.

0:10:480:10:50

They're getting bigger, yeah.

0:10:500:10:52

Or it could be some kind of pop culture use of these.

0:10:520:10:54

-I was going to say, it's not just sizes...

-Next please.

0:10:540:10:57

Everything for all time?

0:11:020:11:03

-What's bigger than everything?

-Unless it's, erm...

0:11:030:11:06

You could say multiverse, but...

0:11:060:11:08

Don't recognise this. I've got a funny feeling it's going to be

0:11:090:11:12

some pop culture reference to something.

0:11:120:11:14

-Yeah.

-I think it is.

-Three seconds.

-BELL RINGS

0:11:140:11:16

Multiverse.

0:11:160:11:17

Not the answer. That would be nice.

0:11:170:11:19

That's the kind of thing when you're a child you put as your address,

0:11:190:11:22

keep adding things. Multiverse you might get to.

0:11:220:11:24

But that's not a proper sequence by our standards.

0:11:240:11:26

Gamesmasters, you've got the chance of a bonus point.

0:11:260:11:29

We think it's fish.

0:11:290:11:30

The answer is fish, and why is that?

0:11:300:11:32

They're the last words in the titles of books from

0:11:320:11:35

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series.

0:11:350:11:37

That's right, they're the first four books in Douglas Adams' trilogy,

0:11:370:11:40

the last words in the titles, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy,

0:11:400:11:44

The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe,

0:11:440:11:45

Life, The Universe And Everything,

0:11:450:11:47

and then it would be So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.

0:11:470:11:50

It's actually a five-part trilogy.

0:11:500:11:51

-D'you know what the fifth book's called?

-Mostly Harmless.

0:11:510:11:54

And then there's the one written by Eoin Colfer

0:11:540:11:56

which is And Another Thing.

0:11:560:11:57

That's right, a sixth book written by somebody else after

0:11:570:12:00

Douglas Adams died. Well done, you get the bonus point.

0:12:000:12:03

-Which hieroglyph would you like next?

-Two reeds please.

-Two reeds.

0:12:030:12:06

What would be the fourth in this sequence?

0:12:060:12:08

Here's the first.

0:12:080:12:10

THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:12:120:12:14

Next.

0:12:140:12:15

-George Caff?

-George Best?

-Well, it could be, couldn't it?

0:12:180:12:22

-D'you want to go next?

-I don't think we're getting anything from it.

0:12:220:12:25

Is it a sound of the words one? Cos caff... Next.

0:12:250:12:28

Next.

0:12:280:12:30

THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:12:300:12:32

Erm, er, it's, L-O-O-N, Loon,

0:12:330:12:36

because it's Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh,

0:12:360:12:38

so it'd be Loon, is that right?

0:12:380:12:41

-Without the middle letters.

-Yeah.

-BELL RINGS

0:12:410:12:43

Loon.

0:12:430:12:44

The answer is Loon, and why is that?

0:12:440:12:47

They're the four capitals of the United Kingdom,

0:12:470:12:50

but only the first two and last two letters,

0:12:500:12:52

in population order presumably?

0:12:520:12:54

-Just alphabetical order.

-Oh.

0:12:540:12:56

They are gutted names of UK capitals in alphabetical order.

0:12:560:13:00

I say UK capitals, this is at time of recording.

0:13:000:13:02

By the time we broadcast the vote may have happened. Who knows?

0:13:020:13:06

But at time of recording these are the UK

0:13:060:13:08

capital cities in alphabetical order with their middles taken out.

0:13:080:13:11

Well spotted. Coders, your turn.

0:13:110:13:13

-The water, please.

-The water.

0:13:130:13:16

What would be the fourth in this sequence?

0:13:160:13:18

Here's the first.

0:13:180:13:19

THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:13:210:13:23

Next please.

0:13:230:13:25

-Don't know.

-She could have three faces?! That's what I'm thinking.

0:13:280:13:33

-Oh, OK.

-Next please.

0:13:330:13:34

A chess clock has two faces.

0:13:360:13:38

-Something with one face.

-BELL RINGS

0:13:380:13:39

Erm, yourself, because you only have one face.

0:13:390:13:43

I was hoping to hear an Ek Mukhi Rudraksha bead,

0:13:430:13:46

but I will accept "me".

0:13:460:13:49

You're absolutely right, it's to do with the number of faces.

0:13:490:13:51

What can you tell me about the clues you're looking at?

0:13:510:13:54

Mount Rushmore has four faces, the kind of four people that

0:13:540:13:57

have most shaped American... modern America.

0:13:570:13:59

Erm, a chess clock has two faces, one for each player.

0:13:590:14:02

We're not sure about Eve. Presumably she has three faces.

0:14:020:14:05

You could probably guess, the film was actually called

0:14:050:14:07

The Three Faces of Eve, so four faces,

0:14:070:14:09

three and two, I wanted to hear

0:14:090:14:11

something that has one face.

0:14:110:14:12

For example, the bead that could represent

0:14:120:14:15

Lord Shiva,

0:14:150:14:18

the Ek Mukhi Rudraksha bead, but you said "me" and that's fine too.

0:14:180:14:22

Well done. Gamesmasters, your turn for a choice.

0:14:220:14:25

Er, twisted flax.

0:14:250:14:26

The twisted flax. These are going to be picture clues.

0:14:260:14:29

What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?

0:14:290:14:31

Here's the first.

0:14:310:14:32

THEY WHISPER

0:14:340:14:36

Next.

0:14:360:14:37

-Red Arrows.

-So, bow, arrow...

0:14:390:14:43

-Right.

-Where's that going?

0:14:430:14:45

-Erm, shall we next?

-Yeah.

-Er, next.

0:14:450:14:47

Spear? A spear, yeah.

0:14:490:14:53

Bow, arrow, spear.

0:14:530:14:55

What would come next?

0:14:550:14:56

Oh, is it the quote about wars being fought with...?

0:14:560:15:00

Bows, arrows...

0:15:000:15:02

Nuclear bombs or something?

0:15:040:15:06

Chemicals?

0:15:060:15:09

-Three seconds.

-BELL RINGS

0:15:090:15:11

Is it nuclear bombs?

0:15:110:15:13

It so incredibly isn't.

0:15:130:15:17

-So there's a bonus chance for the Coders.

-A chariot.

0:15:170:15:20

-A chariot of fire.

-A chariot of fire. The picture might look a bit like

0:15:200:15:23

a nuclear explosion

0:15:230:15:25

but it represents a chariot of fire, and why is that?

0:15:250:15:27

These are the things that you have to bring me in the song Jerusalem.

0:15:270:15:31

That's right, in Blake's Jerusalem.

0:15:310:15:33

It's a song now, originally it was the preface to Milton,

0:15:330:15:35

his poem Milton.

0:15:350:15:37

But in Jerusalem, as we know it, we sing,

0:15:370:15:39

Bring me my bow of burning gold

0:15:390:15:42

My arrows of desire

0:15:420:15:43

Bring me my spear O, clouds unfold

0:15:430:15:46

Bring me my chariot of fire.

0:15:460:15:47

Things that must be brought

0:15:470:15:49

in the poem Jerusalem.

0:15:490:15:51

You get the bonus point and you get the last choice of the round.

0:15:510:15:54

-Er, the lion, please.

-The lion.

0:15:540:15:55

What would be the fourth in this sequence?

0:15:550:15:57

Here's the first.

0:15:570:15:59

THEY WHISPER

0:16:010:16:03

Er, next please.

0:16:050:16:06

-Don't know who they are.

-Yeah.

0:16:090:16:12

I don't know who he is either.

0:16:120:16:14

Er, next please.

0:16:140:16:15

THEY WHISPER

0:16:190:16:21

It's got to be something recent as well.

0:16:250:16:28

Oh, do you think colleges, people who founded colleges?

0:16:280:16:30

Who founded the most recent college?

0:16:300:16:32

No, it's not, he didn't found one, so...

0:16:320:16:35

Three seconds.

0:16:350:16:37

BELL RINGS

0:16:370:16:38

Erm, 2013,

0:16:380:16:41

Sidney Sussex.

0:16:410:16:43

I would say that's not quite as wrong as a nuclear bomb

0:16:430:16:45

in the last question but it's very much not right.

0:16:450:16:48

So, Gamesmasters, your chance for a bonus now.

0:16:480:16:51

2014, Cameron Clegg.

0:16:510:16:54

VICTORIA LAUGHS

0:16:540:16:56

-I've taken a year and I've put some names after it.

-That's our stratagem.

0:16:560:17:00

Well, given that the connection is that they are royal dress designers,

0:17:000:17:04

let me tell you that Cameron and Clegg, I mean,

0:17:040:17:06

that's a dress I'd like to see.

0:17:060:17:08

I wanted to hear 2011, Sarah Burton, for the House of McQueen.

0:17:080:17:12

They are dress designers. In 1947,

0:17:120:17:15

Norman Hartnell designed the dress for the Queen,

0:17:150:17:17

then Princess Elizabeth.

0:17:170:17:18

1981, David and Elizabeth Emanuel designed a dress for...?

0:17:180:17:22

Diana perhaps?

0:17:230:17:24

Lady Diana Spencer, that was the next royal wedding.

0:17:240:17:28

And in 2005, Camilla Parker Bowles

0:17:280:17:30

wore Robinson Valentine.

0:17:300:17:32

Sarah Burton designed for Kate Middleton.

0:17:320:17:35

They are designers of wedding dresses for future monarchs,

0:17:350:17:38

coming sequentially.

0:17:380:17:40

Gamesmasters, one question remains, the horned viper.

0:17:400:17:43

What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:17:430:17:45

Here's the first.

0:17:450:17:47

Next.

0:17:490:17:50

-New states.

-But is it New Mexico?

-Is it the date? Then New Mexico's last.

0:17:520:17:56

-Shall we just do next and go to the other one?

-I suppose we could.

0:17:560:17:59

-Also it might be different so go next.

-Next.

0:17:590:18:02

-So...

-York.

-York. It's probably in, like, age order.

0:18:020:18:05

-Can't be anything else.

-Yeah, it can't be anything else.

0:18:050:18:08

BELL RINGS

0:18:080:18:09

York.

0:18:090:18:10

The answer is York, and why?

0:18:100:18:12

They're the four American states that begin with "New"

0:18:120:18:15

in some order.

0:18:150:18:17

Alphabetical order.

0:18:170:18:18

It's alphabetical order again.

0:18:180:18:20

They are the American states that can be prefaced with "New".

0:18:200:18:23

There are only four of them,

0:18:230:18:24

and fourth in the sequence would be York, well done.

0:18:240:18:27

At the end of Round Two,

0:18:270:18:29

the Gamesmasters have nine points,

0:18:290:18:31

the Coders have eight.

0:18:310:18:32

Time for the Connecting Wall, a jumble of 16 clues that the teams

0:18:350:18:38

must sort into four connected groups of four.

0:18:380:18:41

There will be red herrings that come into more than one category

0:18:410:18:44

but there's only one perfect solution.

0:18:440:18:46

So, Gamesmasters, you'll be going first this time.

0:18:460:18:49

Would you like Lion or Water?

0:18:490:18:50

Erm, Lion, please.

0:18:500:18:52

OK, you have 2½ minutes to solve the lion wall,

0:18:520:18:55

starting now.

0:18:550:18:58

THEY CONFER

0:18:580:19:00

The Soup Dragons are a band, as are the Mock Turtles, as are the Pastels.

0:19:050:19:10

I don't know what...

0:19:100:19:12

Oh, the Smiths, they're indie bands from that sort of time, and the La's.

0:19:120:19:15

Can you do them? Erm, I think there might be...

0:19:150:19:18

-Wear, Wen, Hoo and Watt are obviously...

-Yeah, Wear, Wen...

0:19:180:19:22

Remember it's three strikes and you're out. Plenty of time.

0:19:220:19:25

-Caterpillar...

-Oh, it's characters from Alice In Wonderland.

0:19:250:19:28

So who are they? Mock Turtle, Caterpillar, Dodo and Pat.

0:19:280:19:31

-Is that right?

-Yes, and articles.

-Articles.

0:19:310:19:34

-Aren't they all "the?"

-Yes, they are. They're definite articles.

0:19:340:19:37

When you put an S, when they start with "the"

0:19:370:19:40

-and you put an S on the end, they become sort of jangle-pop bands.

-OK.

0:19:400:19:43

Wear, Hoo and Watt, homophones for question words,

0:19:430:19:46

and then it's Alice In Wonderland.

0:19:460:19:48

Yes, characters.

0:19:480:19:50

That's it, you've solved the wall - didn't give you too much trouble.

0:19:510:19:54

That's four points immediately for the groups.

0:19:540:19:56

I'll give you more points for the connections.

0:19:560:19:58

What about the first group, starting with Y?

0:19:580:20:01

They're all "the"

0:20:020:20:03

in foreign languages.

0:20:030:20:05

I'll accept it, can you be more specific?

0:20:050:20:07

Il and El are going to be in, like, Italian and Spanish?

0:20:070:20:10

-Mm-hm.

-And Y is Portuguese maybe?

0:20:100:20:12

-It's "uh" and it's Welsh.

-Ah!

-Oh!

0:20:130:20:15

So, actually, European languages,

0:20:150:20:17

they're all words for "the" in European languages.

0:20:170:20:19

And the green group, starting Soup Dragon?

0:20:190:20:22

They're all...

0:20:220:20:24

If you put a "the" at the start and an S on the end,

0:20:240:20:26

they're all bands,

0:20:260:20:27

and they have a sort of similar aesthetic.

0:20:270:20:29

-Jangle-pop you might call it.

-I think that people

0:20:290:20:32

-generally call it indie music.

-Indie.

0:20:320:20:34

And what about the pink group, starting Wear?

0:20:340:20:37

Erm, they're all question words,

0:20:370:20:39

they're homophones of question words, "where," "when," "who" and "what".

0:20:390:20:42

-And "why," that's in there.

-Oh, yeah.

0:20:420:20:45

That's right, where, when, who and what, and why could have been in it.

0:20:450:20:49

Interrogative pronouns, that's what you'd say, homophones for those.

0:20:490:20:53

And the last blue group, starting with Mock Turtle.

0:20:530:20:56

Erm, they're all characters from

0:20:560:20:57

the Alice In Wonderland books.

0:20:570:20:59

That's right, they are characters in Alice's Adventures In Wonderland.

0:20:590:21:03

Pat is a very obscure one, it's the White Rabbit's gardener.

0:21:030:21:07

Oh, that is very obscure.

0:21:070:21:09

Doesn't do much. I mean, I'm very familiar with those books

0:21:090:21:12

and I didn't remember Pat.

0:21:120:21:13

Quite an obscure character but that's what they all are.

0:21:130:21:15

So, four points for the groups you found,

0:21:150:21:17

four points for the connections,

0:21:170:21:19

and an extra two points for getting it all right -

0:21:190:21:21

that is the maximum of 10. Very well done.

0:21:210:21:23

Time to bring back the Coders now and give them a new wall,

0:21:230:21:26

16 different clues,

0:21:260:21:27

see if they can decode it using the exact same principles.

0:21:270:21:30

You'll be getting the Water Wall cos the Lion's been taken.

0:21:300:21:33

You have 2½ minutes to solve it, starting now.

0:21:330:21:37

OK, Karma Police, is that...? No.

0:21:380:21:42

-Erm, Belle de Jour is a prostitute.

-OK. Erm...

-Banksy is an artist.

0:21:420:21:45

-Yeah, The Stig is anonymous, we don't know who it is, as is Banksy.

-OK.

0:21:450:21:49

-Maybe Belle de Jour would be as well.

-Oh, yes.

0:21:490:21:51

-The Banker's from Deal Or No Deal.

-Yeah, OK, good. Is this an album?

0:21:510:21:56

It could be, cos Creep's...

0:21:560:21:58

Oh, Karma Police, yes, maybe it's Radiohead? No, something...

0:21:580:22:01

And No Surprises?

0:22:010:22:03

Creep is a single, it's definitely a song.

0:22:040:22:07

-Nude, Buff, Raw...

-Altogether...

-Being naked, or...?

-Erm...

0:22:070:22:12

-Oh, yeah.

-Is There There a name for being naked?

-I don't know.

0:22:130:22:17

-No Surprises?

-What's Scud?

0:22:170:22:18

No Surprises could definitely be naked,

0:22:180:22:21

so Buff, No Surprises, Nude and Raw was the other one.

0:22:210:22:25

-Altogether! In the altogether.

-Oh, yes, yeah.

-Did you think...?

0:22:250:22:29

I think it's that one, that one, that one.

0:22:290:22:31

OK, so we've got five here, d'you want to do that?

0:22:310:22:33

Erm, so there's probably albums.

0:22:330:22:35

I think Creep was U2, but it's also Radiohead it sounds like as well.

0:22:350:22:39

-I wonder if Deep Throat's an anagram.

-Erm, yeah...

0:22:390:22:42

It's not any of those.

0:22:420:22:43

Plumbers, erm, Mario and Luigi are the main characters

0:22:430:22:46

in the Mario video games.

0:22:460:22:47

-Yes.

-But I can't see any...

0:22:470:22:49

Is there a video game about the Karma Police?

0:22:490:22:52

Surely not.

0:22:520:22:54

Did we have songs, have we had...?

0:22:540:22:56

No Surprises and Creep.

0:22:560:22:58

-You've got a minute.

-So you said...

0:23:000:23:02

-Did we do this one?

-Yeah.

0:23:020:23:04

You said in the altogether, in the nude, in the buff, in the...

0:23:040:23:08

-In the there there?

-In the raw?

-In the raw, in the scud...

0:23:080:23:13

Erm...

0:23:130:23:15

OK, let me try this, you keep going with the other ones.

0:23:160:23:19

Erm, so, Buffy, Vampire Slayer, Creepy...

0:23:190:23:23

What could Deep Throat be? Oh.

0:23:230:23:26

Three strikes and you're out now.

0:23:260:23:28

-OK, so we think there's songs...

-We think there's songs,

0:23:280:23:30

so isn't it Creep, No Surprises...

0:23:300:23:33

-Karma Police.

-..Karma Police, and then...

0:23:330:23:36

So, Expletive Deleted, oh...

0:23:360:23:37

-I think it's a song.

-OK, so what are the others?

0:23:370:23:40

Surely might as well start guessing.

0:23:400:23:42

-You've got ten seconds.

-Yeah, let's just guess.

0:23:420:23:44

That's it, you've used your three strikes, and the time is up,

0:23:490:23:52

but you found two groups so that's two points.

0:23:520:23:54

What about the connections?

0:23:540:23:56

The blue group, The Stig, Belle de Jour, Banksy, the Banker?

0:23:560:23:59

They're all anonymous.

0:23:590:24:01

Their identities are hidden.

0:24:010:24:02

That's it, The Stig from Top Gear,

0:24:020:24:04

Belle de Jour, the writer,

0:24:040:24:05

Banksy, the artist,

0:24:050:24:06

and the Banker from Deal Or No Deal.

0:24:060:24:08

Some people know who some of them are

0:24:080:24:10

but the idea is that they are hidden identities.

0:24:100:24:13

And the green group, Scud, Buff, Altogether, Raw.

0:24:130:24:16

Er, terms for being naked, or nudity.

0:24:160:24:19

That's right, "in the" added at the beginning means naked.

0:24:190:24:21

You weren't sure about "scud," it's a Scottish expression,

0:24:210:24:24

"in the scud."

0:24:240:24:25

You can also get points for the connections in the groups you

0:24:250:24:28

didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.

0:24:280:24:30

Karma Police, There There, Nude, No Surprises.

0:24:310:24:36

-So...

-Songs, I think.

-Songs.

0:24:360:24:39

By...

0:24:400:24:42

It's the next word that's key.

0:24:420:24:45

-Erm...

-Is it Coldplay?

-Coldplay.

0:24:450:24:48

I'm afraid it's Radiohead.

0:24:480:24:49

-Singles by Radiohead.

-Cos Creep is there.

0:24:490:24:53

Creep is a red herring for that group,

0:24:530:24:55

but its own group, Creep, Expletive deleted, Deep Throat, Plumbers.

0:24:550:25:00

Er, are they all films?

0:25:000:25:04

I'm afraid they're not. It's interesting.

0:25:040:25:05

Deep Throat there is a red herring for the secret identities group

0:25:050:25:09

because, of course, most of us when we hear Deep Throat,

0:25:090:25:11

we think immediately of the Watergate scandal.

0:25:110:25:15

These are all terms from Watergate.

0:25:150:25:17

Creep is an acronym for

0:25:170:25:19

Committee To Re-elect The President.

0:25:190:25:21

Expletive deleted, that's the redacted transcripts,

0:25:210:25:23

they'd be taken out.

0:25:230:25:25

Deep Throat was the whistleblower who was anonymous

0:25:250:25:27

but revealed in 2005 to be Mark Felt.

0:25:270:25:30

And plumbers? Now you know it's Watergate, do you know?

0:25:300:25:33

Were they in the office at the time, discovered the break-in?

0:25:330:25:37

It was a covert unit set up by Nixon, yes,

0:25:370:25:40

all terms connected with Watergate,

0:25:400:25:43

but two points for the groups you found

0:25:430:25:45

and two points for those connections,

0:25:450:25:47

that is a total of four.

0:25:470:25:48

Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.

0:25:480:25:51

Time for Round Four, the Missing Vowels Round. We've taken

0:25:570:26:00

the vowels out of well-known names, phrases and sayings.

0:26:000:26:02

We've squidged up the consonants

0:26:020:26:04

and I want to know what are the disguised clues?

0:26:040:26:06

They'll still come in connected groups of four,

0:26:060:26:08

but I will tell the teams the connections before we start.

0:26:080:26:12

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:26:120:26:13

Remember, if you get anything wrong,

0:26:130:26:15

even by a single letter this time,

0:26:150:26:16

I will be taking points away,

0:26:160:26:19

so be careful.

0:26:190:26:20

The first group are all...

0:26:200:26:22

-Masters?

-Glass eye.

-Correct.

0:26:260:26:28

-Masters?

-Wooden leg.

-Correct.

0:26:310:26:33

-Masters?

-Artificial heart.

0:26:360:26:37

Yes, it is.

0:26:370:26:38

-Coders?

-Dentures.

-Correct.

0:26:410:26:43

Next category...

0:26:430:26:44

-Masters?

-Who Do You Think You Are?

0:26:500:26:52

Correct.

0:26:520:26:53

-Coders?

-Are You Being Served?

0:26:560:26:57

That's right.

0:26:570:26:58

-Gamesmasters?

-Would I Lie To You?

0:27:010:27:02

Correct.

0:27:020:27:03

Gamesmasters?

0:27:080:27:09

Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?

0:27:090:27:11

Indeed. Next category...

0:27:110:27:12

-Masters?

-Sir Alex Ferguson.

0:27:170:27:19

That's right.

0:27:190:27:20

-Masters?

-Lorraine Kelly.

0:27:230:27:24

Yes.

0:27:240:27:26

-Masters?

-Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

0:27:310:27:32

Yes, it is.

0:27:320:27:33

-Gamesmasters?

-John Barrowman.

0:27:360:27:38

Goodness me. Next category...

0:27:380:27:39

-Gamesmasters?

-Sudoku.

-Yes.

0:27:440:27:46

-Coders?

-Classifieds...ads.

0:27:490:27:51

I'm afraid that's not the answer.

0:27:510:27:54

Gamesmasters, do you know?

0:27:540:27:55

END-OFQUIZ JINGLE

0:27:550:27:57

No time for you to give me

0:27:570:27:58

the answer even if you know it

0:27:580:28:00

because the bell has gone

0:28:000:28:01

for the end of the quiz.

0:28:010:28:03

Looking at the final scores, the Coders, who were a bit

0:28:030:28:06

unlucky at the end there, finish with

0:28:060:28:08

an otherwise excellent 13 points.

0:28:080:28:10

But the winners, with 30 points,

0:28:100:28:12

it's the Gamesmasters.

0:28:120:28:13

Very well done.

0:28:130:28:15

An almost frightening

0:28:150:28:16

Missing Vowels Round for you.

0:28:160:28:17

Unlucky, Coders, but, of course,

0:28:170:28:19

you will get another chance.

0:28:190:28:20

We don't send anyone home

0:28:200:28:22

after one episode,

0:28:220:28:23

so you'll be playing again in another heat later on.

0:28:230:28:25

Good luck with that.

0:28:250:28:26

Join me when another set of quiz gladiators will fight to the death

0:28:260:28:31

and by "fight to the death", I mean everyone stays friendly

0:28:310:28:34

and the losers get a second chance.

0:28:340:28:36

It's health and safety gone mad. Goodbye.
