Things containing four can often go badly wrong.

0:00:210:00:25

I'm thinking predominantly of the trial of the Guildford Four

0:00:250:00:28

and Superman IV, The Quest For Peace.

0:00:280:00:31

But here at Only Connect,

0:00:310:00:32

the satisfying concept of four linked elements has never

0:00:320:00:35

ended in disaster apart from

0:00:350:00:37

that one time our question editor

0:00:370:00:38

started daydreaming about what

0:00:380:00:40

four things he'd say to

0:00:400:00:41

Joanna Lumley if they ever met

0:00:410:00:43

and passed out

0:00:430:00:44

on the central computer.

0:00:440:00:45

But the concussion's now abated and he is raring to go

0:00:450:00:49

so let's see if the same applies to tonight's teams who are,

0:00:490:00:52

on my right, Innis Carson,

0:00:520:00:55

a PhD chemistry student who is the president of his university

0:00:550:00:58

brass band and once played a board game for 25 consecutive hours.

0:00:580:01:03

Lorraine Murtagh, an amateur fire dancer who hails from Dublin

0:01:030:01:07

and is engaged to their team captain who is Ian Volante,

0:01:070:01:12

an astrophysics graduate who keeps 75 spreadsheets detailing rugby

0:01:120:01:16

league statistics and has watched Flash Gordon over 100 times.

0:01:160:01:21

United by a love of laboratories, they are the Scientists.

0:01:210:01:24

You won your first game against the Builders. How did that go?

0:01:240:01:27

Well, we thought we might do OK, but then we did very well

0:01:270:01:29

so can't complain about that.

0:01:290:01:32

You are facing tonight, on my left,

0:01:320:01:34

Jon Sticher,

0:01:340:01:35

a philosophy graduate who has had 12 body parts X-rayed

0:01:350:01:38

and used to work for the Australian Yellow Pages.

0:01:380:01:42

Ben Holmes, a customer services adviser who was the proud

0:01:420:01:45

winner of a local Easter bonnet competition

0:01:450:01:48

and is studying for a history degree with the Open University.

0:01:480:01:51

And their captain, Amber Marshall, a law graduate

0:01:510:01:55

and mother of two who caught a fish with a Coke can

0:01:550:01:57

while holidaying in the Australian outback.

0:01:570:02:00

United by a passion for Athens, they are the Athenians.

0:02:000:02:03

You won your first game against the Road Trippers.

0:02:030:02:06

How are you feeling about tonight's opposition?

0:02:060:02:08

We are hoping to be solely humanities questions.

0:02:080:02:11

It's always possible. You've done well to begin with.

0:02:110:02:14

You've won the toss so you'll be going first.

0:02:140:02:16

Please choose a hieroglyph.

0:02:160:02:18

-Water, please.

-Water, OK.

0:02:180:02:20

What is the connection between

0:02:200:02:21

these clues? Here is the first.

0:02:210:02:24

-WHISPERS:

-Derek New. University Challenge.

0:02:240:02:27

Maybe the announcer.

0:02:270:02:28

No, it's not. Roger Tilling is the announcer so it's not that.

0:02:280:02:31

-I'd go for the next.

-Next, please.

0:02:310:02:33

Is that the announcer for Mastermind?

0:02:350:02:36

Could be the, I don't know.

0:02:360:02:38

-Oh, I think it might be.

-The originator?

-Could be.

0:02:380:02:41

Do we need another one or shall we guess?

0:02:410:02:44

-Shall we go for it?

-I don't know.

0:02:440:02:47

It's early days. I think we need another one.

0:02:470:02:49

OK, next, please.

0:02:490:02:50

-I think it's got to be, hasn't it?

-The originator? OK.

0:02:510:02:54

We think they are the originators

0:02:550:02:57

of the format of the quiz

0:02:570:02:59

show that is mentioned.

0:02:590:03:00

They are not those things

0:03:000:03:02

so I'm going to show the fourth

0:03:020:03:04

clue to the Scientists

0:03:040:03:05

for a possible bonus point.

0:03:050:03:06

We believe they wrote the

0:03:060:03:08

theme tune to these shows.

0:03:080:03:09

They wrote the theme tunes

0:03:090:03:11

to those shows.

0:03:110:03:12

Where did you recognise that?

0:03:120:03:14

I had actually played an arrangement

0:03:140:03:16

of the Blockbusters theme tune

0:03:160:03:17

in my brass band last year

0:03:170:03:19

and I remembered who'd wrote it so,

0:03:190:03:21

stroke of luck there.

0:03:210:03:22

That is a brilliant reason

0:03:220:03:23

for knowing the answer.

0:03:230:03:24

Sometimes people say, "I was just

0:03:240:03:26

"reading about that on Wikipedia,"

0:03:260:03:27

but you're out there in the world

0:03:270:03:29

playing the Blockbusters theme

0:03:290:03:30

tune with a brass band. Brilliant.

0:03:300:03:32

Yes, Derek New wrote the

0:03:320:03:33

University Challenge theme tune.

0:03:330:03:35

Do you know what that's called?

0:03:350:03:36

University Challenge?

0:03:360:03:37

It's not, it's called College Boy.

0:03:370:03:39

And the Mastermind theme is called

0:03:390:03:41

-Approaching Menace.

-Ah, yes.

0:03:410:03:43

I rather like that. And of course,

0:03:430:03:44

brilliant Evan Dawson and

0:03:440:03:45

Nico Sabatini wrote the Only Connect

0:03:450:03:47

theme tune. Very well done.

0:03:470:03:48

You get a bonus point and the chance

0:03:480:03:50

to choose a question.

0:03:500:03:51

Horned Viper, please.

0:03:510:03:53

OK, what is the connection

0:03:530:03:55

between these clues?

0:03:550:03:56

Here is the first.

0:03:560:03:58

Don't know. No.

0:03:590:04:00

Doesn't mean anything to me.

0:04:000:04:02

Next, please.

0:04:020:04:03

-Mm.

-Mm.

-Mm.

0:04:050:04:08

-No.

-I'm not sure.

0:04:080:04:10

I'm thinking maybe mayors or something.

0:04:100:04:12

Mayors. Do they have a mayor?

0:04:120:04:15

-Could be but shall we do another one?

-MPs?

0:04:150:04:18

Next, please.

0:04:180:04:19

That rings a bell, but I don't know why.

0:04:220:04:25

It's not a word play thing, is it?

0:04:250:04:26

I don't think it is.

0:04:260:04:28

Do we think...

0:04:280:04:30

Next one, please.

0:04:300:04:31

Three seconds.

0:04:340:04:35

BELL

0:04:350:04:38

Gordon Brown. Maybe they all...

0:04:380:04:39

Are they all people that confronted

0:04:390:04:41

politicians in those locations.

0:04:410:04:43

-On television.

-On television.

0:04:430:04:45

I think I'll take that.

0:04:450:04:47

You could answer it a bit more generally.

0:04:470:04:49

Jennifer Bennett herself didn't confront politicians.

0:04:490:04:52

The existence of these people

0:04:520:04:54

confronted politicians.

0:04:540:04:55

Jennifer Bennett was the little

0:04:550:04:57

girl with a glue ear

0:04:570:04:58

and we were treated to the

0:04:580:05:00

unedifying spectacle of Labour

0:05:000:05:02

and the Tories arguing

0:05:020:05:03

about her treatment.

0:05:030:05:05

Sharron Storer, do you remember her?

0:05:050:05:07

No, I really don't. They've passed out of my memory.

0:05:070:05:09

She confronted Tony Blair

0:05:090:05:11

about beds in the NHS.

0:05:110:05:12

Dan Ware from Rochester,

0:05:120:05:14

you know that fella?

0:05:140:05:15

Is he the one who threw

0:05:150:05:16

the egg at John Prescott?

0:05:160:05:17

No, he's the one who had

0:05:170:05:19

-a George flag outside his home...

-Oh, yes.

0:05:190:05:21

..and a Labour lady tweeted

0:05:210:05:23

something a bit snide about it

0:05:230:05:25

and people thought, is this the

0:05:250:05:27

first time she has left Islington?

0:05:270:05:28

And that was a bit of a problem.

0:05:280:05:30

And Gillian Duffy from Rochdale,

0:05:300:05:32

I think you knew, Innis.

0:05:320:05:33

She confronted, well, she spoke

0:05:330:05:34

to Gordon Brown and he called

0:05:340:05:35

her a bigot and, well, not her face, but something like that.

0:05:350:05:38

No, he was very friendly to her face.

0:05:380:05:40

She said, "Is there

0:05:400:05:41

"an immigration problem?"

0:05:410:05:42

And he was very friendly and then got in the car

0:05:420:05:44

and said, "What a bigot."

0:05:440:05:45

Unfortunately his microphone

0:05:450:05:47

was still on. Very awkward.

0:05:470:05:49

My word, if they broadcast the things

0:05:490:05:50

that I said when I don't know

0:05:500:05:52

my microphone is still on.

0:05:520:05:53

They are all people who caused

0:05:530:05:55

trouble for politicians during

0:05:550:05:57

general elections. Well done.

0:05:570:05:58

Athenians, what would you like next?

0:05:580:06:00

-Two Reeds, please.

-Two Reeds, OK.

0:06:000:06:02

What is the connection between

0:06:020:06:04

these clues? Here's the first.

0:06:040:06:05

THEY WHISPER

0:06:070:06:09

Next, please.

0:06:110:06:12

-OK, half plus seven.

-Is it stars on the flag?

0:06:130:06:16

Cos it's got half at the top, half at the bottom

0:06:160:06:18

-and seven in the middle.

-Let's go with that.

0:06:180:06:20

We believe it is stars on their flags.

0:06:210:06:23

Very well done. Coming in after two

0:06:230:06:25

clues, you get three points.

0:06:250:06:26

This is stars on the flag.

0:06:260:06:28

You didn't even need to see

0:06:280:06:29

the next couple of clues.

0:06:290:06:30

We're talking about numbers of stars.

0:06:300:06:33

Six on the flag of Australia,

0:06:330:06:34

a couple of halves and seven

0:06:340:06:36

on the Bosnia Herzegovina.

0:06:360:06:37

Stars on the flag. Well done.

0:06:370:06:39

Scientists, your turn again.

0:06:390:06:40

What would you like?

0:06:400:06:42

-Eye of Horus, please.

-The Eye of Horus.

0:06:420:06:44

What connects these tricky

0:06:440:06:46

little clues? Here's the first.

0:06:460:06:48

-Chemical element.

-Yes.

0:06:500:06:52

Next, please.

0:06:520:06:53

Einsteinium is the 99th one or something along those lines.

0:06:570:07:01

Are there 99 names of Allah, or something?

0:07:010:07:04

-I don't know.

-I don't if that is exactly right.

0:07:040:07:06

I'd take another one just to be safe.

0:07:060:07:07

Next, please.

0:07:070:07:09

Is that a rugby thing? I don't know.

0:07:120:07:15

There's not much interesting about Einsteinium other than the name.

0:07:150:07:19

Yeah, I don't know.

0:07:190:07:21

Next one, please.

0:07:210:07:22

BELL

0:07:240:07:26

It's all 99 things.

0:07:260:07:28

99 is the right answer.

0:07:280:07:30

Tell me about the clues

0:07:300:07:31

you're looking at.

0:07:310:07:32

-Einsteinium is...

-Atomic number 99.

0:07:320:07:34

-Yep.

-Is right.

0:07:340:07:35

I assume 99 names of Allah.

0:07:350:07:37

99 names of God according to Islam, that's right.

0:07:370:07:40

-What about the third clue?

-Don't know.

0:07:400:07:42

It was in 1974, the British Lions

0:07:420:07:43

had a sort of policy where

0:07:430:07:45

if one of their team was attacked

0:07:450:07:47

by somebody on the other team,

0:07:470:07:49

the whole team would jump in

0:07:490:07:50

to retaliate.

0:07:500:07:52

We had a similar in my team. One in all in, sort of thing.

0:07:520:07:54

Yeah, exactly. It's an all in...

0:07:540:07:56

The idea being that the referee

0:07:560:07:58

can't send them all off,

0:07:580:07:59

although if I were the referee,

0:07:590:08:01

I absolutely would send them

0:08:010:08:02

all off just the fun of it.

0:08:020:08:04

But that was the policy and the 99

0:08:040:08:05

was the call that was that code.

0:08:050:08:07

And last clue, Neunundneunzig Luftballons,

0:08:070:08:10

of course, is the famous Nena song, 99 Red Balloons.

0:08:100:08:14

Well done.

0:08:140:08:15

Back to you Athenians for a choice.

0:08:150:08:16

Twisted Flax, please.

0:08:160:08:17

The Twisted Flax, OK. MUSICAL FLOURISH

0:08:170:08:19

Ah, there is the music question.

0:08:190:08:21

What do these musical clues have

0:08:210:08:23

in common? here's the first.

0:08:230:08:24

# I want some steam on my clothes... #

0:08:240:08:28

It's Nina Simone.

0:08:280:08:30

Next, please.

0:08:300:08:32

LIVELY JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS

0:08:320:08:34

That sounds Glenn Miller-y.

0:08:340:08:36

It's got to be the names

0:08:360:08:37

of the songs, hasn't it?

0:08:370:08:38

-It's Little Brown Jug.

-Little Brown Jug?

0:08:380:08:40

-Do we want to move on?

-Yeah.

-Next, please.

0:08:400:08:42

# I took all of his money... #

0:08:420:08:45

-Whiskey In The Jar.

-Right, so these...

0:08:450:08:47

Drinking vessels.

0:08:470:08:48

-BELL

-We believe they are all

0:08:480:08:49

drinking vessels.

0:08:490:08:51

Again, I'll take it.

0:08:510:08:53

Like they all confronted politicians,

0:08:530:08:55

you could be a bit more general.

0:08:550:08:57

All vessels.

0:08:570:08:58

I mean, the first one, Nina Simone's

0:08:580:09:00

I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl.

0:09:000:09:01

I mean, I personally love to

0:09:010:09:03

imbibe pure gin from a bowl.

0:09:030:09:05

Most people don't,

0:09:050:09:06

but you could, so, yes.

0:09:060:09:07

I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl. What else do we hear?

0:09:070:09:10

-Little Brown Jug.

-That's right.

0:09:100:09:11

And Metallica's version

0:09:110:09:13

of Whiskey In The Jar.

0:09:130:09:15

Absolutely so and you didn't need

0:09:150:09:16

to hear Genie In A Bottle,

0:09:160:09:18

Christina Aguilera.

0:09:180:09:19

-Such a shame(!).

-All vessels.

0:09:190:09:21

One question remaining then,

0:09:210:09:22

Scientists. Lion, that will be for you.

0:09:220:09:25

What is the connection between these picture clues?

0:09:250:09:28

Here is the first.

0:09:280:09:29

Don't know. Maybe an old mistress.

0:09:300:09:34

Next, please.

0:09:340:09:35

A weeping willow.

0:09:370:09:38

OK.

0:09:380:09:39

Another one, please.

0:09:410:09:43

-That is a stork.

-Stork.

-It's a stork.

0:09:440:09:48

Stork, willow.

0:09:500:09:51

Stork...

0:09:520:09:53

-Shall we take another one?

-Yeah, next one, please.

0:09:550:09:57

Shamrock.

0:09:590:10:00

Oh, these are emblems of countries.

0:10:000:10:03

I think that's Japan, India, Ireland.

0:10:030:10:05

-Try that.

-Three seconds.

0:10:050:10:06

No, no, no. Butter.

0:10:060:10:07

BELL

0:10:070:10:09

I think they're all different types of buttery products.

0:10:090:10:13

What do you mean by that?

0:10:130:10:15

-Butter, margarine, spreads.

-Brands.

0:10:150:10:17

-Edible spread things.

-Brands thereof.

0:10:170:10:19

I'll take that.

0:10:190:10:20

Buttery type products could apply to so many things.

0:10:200:10:22

Fair point, yeah.

0:10:220:10:23

The state of my make-up collection, for example,

0:10:230:10:25

but, yes, spreads and margarines.

0:10:250:10:27

What are we looking at?

0:10:270:10:29

First one, I still can't...

0:10:290:10:30

-Would that be Flora then?

-Could be

0:10:300:10:32

-Flora.

-Flora MacDonald, is it?

0:10:320:10:34

Flora MacDonald, well calculated.

0:10:340:10:35

And the others, of course, are...

0:10:350:10:37

-Weeping willow.

-Just Willow.

0:10:370:10:39

-Willow, Stork and...

-Clover.

-Clover.

0:10:390:10:41

I mean, I weep when someone gives me

0:10:410:10:42

something that isn't butter,

0:10:420:10:44

but, yes, Willow, Stork,

0:10:440:10:45

Clover and Flora,

0:10:450:10:46

they are brands of margarine

0:10:460:10:48

or spreads in the UK. Well done.

0:10:480:10:50

At the end of Round One

0:10:500:10:51

the Scientists have four points,

0:10:510:10:53

the Athenians have five.

0:10:530:10:56

Onto Round Two, the sequences round.

0:10:580:11:00

This time, the teams will remember from their first heat,

0:11:000:11:02

I want to know what is fourth in the sequence.

0:11:020:11:04

Athenians, you will be going first again.

0:11:040:11:07

Please choose a squiggle.

0:11:070:11:08

-Water, please.

-Water.

0:11:080:11:10

What would come forth in this picture sequence?

0:11:100:11:13

I'd like to know what sort of thing you'd expect to see depicted.

0:11:130:11:15

Here is the first.

0:11:150:11:16

Yes Prime Minister. That's Jim Hacker.

0:11:180:11:20

-OK, shall we move on?

-Yes.

0:11:200:11:21

Next, please.

0:11:210:11:22

OK, that is Boris Becker.

0:11:240:11:26

Becker.

0:11:260:11:27

Ha-Be.

0:11:270:11:29

Oh!

0:11:290:11:31

It's letters. Ha-Be.

0:11:310:11:34

-Go for the next one.

-Next, please.

0:11:340:11:36

OK, that is Alan Wicker.

0:11:380:11:40

Wicker. Becker.

0:11:400:11:42

B-E, something with I.

0:11:420:11:44

Got to be H, hasn't it?

0:11:440:11:45

Wicker, Becker. Wicker, Becker.

0:11:460:11:50

H, H. Aren't they...

0:11:510:11:53

Three seconds.

0:11:530:11:55

-BELL

-So they...

0:11:550:11:57

-Just say...

-HE MUMBLES

0:11:570:11:59

Something-O. Ocker?

0:11:590:12:01

Someone Docker. Mr Docker.

0:12:010:12:02

Mr Docker?

0:12:020:12:04

Wouldn't it be Ocker, not Docker?

0:12:040:12:06

Ocker or Docker, they're both fine.

0:12:060:12:07

I'd like to hear a better example.

0:12:070:12:09

We went with Jarvis Cocker.

0:12:090:12:10

-Oh, yeah.

-There we go!

0:12:100:12:11

I mean, you could have had Joe Cocker, but, yes,

0:12:110:12:13

what is it that I want to hear? What is the sequence?

0:12:130:12:16

So, the first one is Hacker.

0:12:160:12:18

That is Jim Hacker from Yes Minister.

0:12:180:12:20

-The second is Becker.

-Mm-hm.

0:12:200:12:22

-The third is Wicker.

-Exactly.

0:12:220:12:23

I want to hear someone

0:12:250:12:26

with ocker in their name.

0:12:260:12:27

For example, Jarvis Cocker, Joe Cocker

0:12:270:12:29

or old Mr Docker.

0:12:290:12:30

-LAUGHTER

-It'll be a TV show one day.

0:12:300:12:32

Yeah, exactly. No, I look forward to that.

0:12:320:12:34

Mr Docker And His Magical Hat.

0:12:340:12:36

I'll be pitching that later.

0:12:360:12:38

Scientists, what would you like?

0:12:380:12:40

Can I have Lion, please?

0:12:400:12:41

Lion, you absolutely may. What is the fourth in this sequence?

0:12:410:12:44

Here is the first.

0:12:440:12:45

What's that? 4,5. 4,5.

0:12:470:12:51

Next, please.

0:12:520:12:53

That's...

0:12:550:12:56

-Leadership changes in the Conservative party?

-Yeah.

0:12:580:13:03

Still not too sure.

0:13:050:13:08

It was changes in Prime Minister as well.

0:13:080:13:10

Mm, yeah.

0:13:100:13:12

-Take another one.

-Next, please.

0:13:120:13:14

2010.

0:13:170:13:19

Something something. I'm can't...

0:13:200:13:22

Three seconds.

0:13:220:13:23

BELL

0:13:230:13:26

2010...

0:13:260:13:28

3,5.

0:13:280:13:30

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:13:300:13:31

So, Athenians, a bonus chance.

0:13:310:13:33

I'm going to pass it to Ben.

0:13:330:13:34

2010: 5, 7.

0:13:340:13:36

Is the right answer and why is that?

0:13:360:13:39

Because it is the years that prime ministers took office

0:13:390:13:42

and it's how many letters are in each of their names.

0:13:420:13:45

That's right.

0:13:450:13:46

John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown

0:13:460:13:47

and I want to hear the letters

0:13:470:13:49

of the name of David Cameron, five, seven.

0:13:490:13:51

You a crossword fan, Ben?

0:13:510:13:53

No, I'm a...I want to say politics fan, but that sounds...

0:13:530:13:55

LAUGHTER

0:13:550:13:57

There is nothing that shows up a

0:13:570:13:59

true politics fan more than knowing

0:13:590:14:01

the number of letters in the names

0:14:010:14:02

of successive prime ministers.

0:14:020:14:03

It shows a real love of the genre.

0:14:030:14:05

Very well done so you get a bonus

0:14:050:14:06

point and your chance

0:14:060:14:07

to choose a question.

0:14:070:14:08

-Twisted Flax, please.

-The Twisted Flax.

0:14:080:14:11

OK, what will come fourth in this sequence?

0:14:110:14:13

Here's the first.

0:14:130:14:14

-THEY WHISPER

-Next, please.

0:14:160:14:18

Deal with a capital as well.

0:14:200:14:22

New Deal?

0:14:220:14:23

-Yeah, go for it.

-Next, please.

0:14:260:14:28

Oh, God.

0:14:290:14:30

Oh, yes! It's something old, something new,

0:14:370:14:39

-something borrowed, something blue.

-Blue.

0:14:390:14:41

Old hat, New Deal. So, something that's blue.

0:14:410:14:43

Blue suede shoes.

0:14:430:14:44

-So, just suede shoes would be fine?

-I think so, yeah.

0:14:440:14:47

-It's blue time?

-What? No, it's borrowed time.

0:14:470:14:49

-So, blue suede shoes.

-OK.

-Yeah.

-BELL

0:14:490:14:51

Dot, dot, dot suede shoes.

0:14:510:14:54

That's so much cooler

0:14:540:14:55

than what we've got, which is cheese,

0:14:550:14:57

but I will accept suede shoes.

0:14:570:15:00

-And why?

-It's old hat, New Deal,

0:15:000:15:03

borrowed time and blue cheese.

0:15:030:15:05

It's something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

0:15:050:15:08

Exactly so. Something blue.

0:15:080:15:10

Well done.

0:15:100:15:11

Scientists, your turn. What would you like?

0:15:110:15:14

-Eye of Horus, please.

-Eye of Horus.

0:15:140:15:16

-MUSICAL FLOURISH Ah!

-Oh, God.

0:15:160:15:18

It's a music sequence.

0:15:180:15:19

That's very good news,

0:15:190:15:20

not least cos it might mean a singing opportunity for you later.

0:15:200:15:23

What would come fourth in this musical sequence?

0:15:230:15:25

Shout next when you want to hear another one. Here's the first.

0:15:250:15:28

# If you should return

0:15:280:15:33

# To that black barren land that bears the name of Xanadu... #

0:15:330:15:37

-Next, please.

-# Our house... #

0:15:370:15:40

Xanadu. That is Traffic, I think.

0:15:400:15:42

# Is a very, very, very fine house... #

0:15:420:15:43

Or was it Canned Heat? No, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

0:15:430:15:46

-# With two cats in the yard... #

-The first...

0:15:460:15:48

-# Life used to be so hard... #

-The first one was...

0:15:480:15:51

-# Now everything... #

-Next, please.

0:15:510:15:53

# Puff, the magic dragon... #

0:15:530:15:55

That's three people, so we need a pair of people.

0:15:550:15:57

# Lived by the sea... #

0:15:570:15:59

# And frolicked in the autumn mist...

0:15:590:16:01

-Definitely sure.

-OK.

0:16:010:16:02

# In a land called Honah Lee... #

0:16:020:16:04

-BELL

-Um...

0:16:040:16:08

Renee and Renato.

0:16:080:16:10

I will accept that answer.

0:16:100:16:12

For what reason?

0:16:120:16:13

We've got, in the first one, five performers -

0:16:130:16:16

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

0:16:160:16:18

Took me a while to think. Four... The second one has four performers.

0:16:180:16:21

Third one has three and...

0:16:210:16:23

The second one was Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young,

0:16:230:16:25

then Peter, Paul & Mary, so I wanted to hear a duo,

0:16:250:16:28

for example, Renee and Renato.

0:16:280:16:30

What did they sing?

0:16:300:16:31

I can't even remember their hits.

0:16:310:16:33

-Can you remember any of their songs?

-Save Your Love.

0:16:330:16:36

Save Your Love. Let's hear it.

0:16:360:16:37

Feel free to join in.

0:16:370:16:39

One, two, three, four.

0:16:390:16:41

# Save your love, my darling Save your love... #

0:16:410:16:45

-Oh!

-I should have thought of somebody else, really, shouldn't I?

0:16:450:16:48

I can see why you're engaged to him.

0:16:480:16:50

-I know. Such a catch.

-I mean...

0:16:500:16:52

I nearly said Lennon and McCartney. I really should have done.

0:16:520:16:54

What would you have given us

0:16:540:16:55

if it had been them?

0:16:550:16:57

-THEY LAUGH

-I don't know.

0:16:570:16:59

-Can't think of anything.

-Yes, brilliant.

0:16:590:17:01

Something sung by a duo, like...

0:17:010:17:03

I mean, we thought of Chas & Dave, but Renee and Renato -

0:17:030:17:06

even more beautiful.

0:17:060:17:07

So, well done, Scientists.

0:17:070:17:08

I'd give you 20 points for that if I could, but I can't.

0:17:080:17:11

Athenians, what would you like?

0:17:110:17:12

-Two Reeds, please.

-Two Reeds.

0:17:120:17:14

What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:17:140:17:17

THEY WHISPER

0:17:190:17:26

Shall we...? Next, please.

0:17:280:17:30

Oh!

0:17:300:17:31

-WHISPERS:

-Shall we go next?

0:17:340:17:35

Next, please.

0:17:350:17:37

-The Fountainhead.

-Well, that's a book.

0:17:380:17:41

-Um, Ayn Rand.

-SHE WHISPERS

0:17:410:17:45

It could be the statute of Lincoln. That's what it sounds like.

0:17:450:17:48

I don't think that's the anthem.

0:17:480:17:50

I'd go for the Declaration of Independence.

0:17:500:17:53

-Shall we?

-Three seconds. BELL

0:17:530:17:55

The Declaration of Independence.

0:17:550:17:57

So very far from the answer,

0:17:570:17:59

you can't imagine, but worth a try.

0:17:590:18:02

-Scientists, do you know?

-Is it Atlas Shrugged?

0:18:020:18:04

It is Atlas Shrugged.

0:18:040:18:06

-What is this sequence?

-I only knew the third one,

0:18:060:18:09

but I guessed they must be the successive novels of Ayn Rand.

0:18:090:18:12

They are the novels

0:18:120:18:13

by the libertarian writer Ayn Rand.

0:18:130:18:15

Very much not the author

0:18:150:18:16

of the Declaration of Independence

0:18:160:18:18

and Atlas Shrugged would be the next in the sequence. Well done.

0:18:180:18:22

OK, so, you get the bonus

0:18:220:18:23

and the last question, the Horned Viper.

0:18:230:18:25

What would be the fourth in this final sequence?

0:18:250:18:28

Here's the first.

0:18:280:18:29

Could be footballers. Next one, please.

0:18:310:18:33

That is a footballer as well.

0:18:350:18:36

Mm-hm. Could be Brazilian captains.

0:18:360:18:40

-Hey?

-SHE WHISPERS

0:18:410:18:43

Probably need the next one. Um, next one, please.

0:18:430:18:46

-Andres. Oh!

-Could be the first names of...

0:18:470:18:51

They're not, like...

0:18:510:18:53

Are they people, like, who are known by one name?

0:18:530:18:57

THEY WHISPER

0:18:570:19:01

Are they successive heads of state or something?

0:19:010:19:04

Three seconds. BELL

0:19:060:19:08

I'm going to go for...

0:19:090:19:13

Costa.

0:19:130:19:14

Are you just trying to think

0:19:140:19:15

of a foreign name?

0:19:150:19:16

-Foreign footballer who possibly played for Barcelona.

-I see.

0:19:160:19:20

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:19:200:19:21

You have a bonus chance now,

0:19:210:19:23

-Athenians. Do you know?

-I'm going to ask Jon.

0:19:230:19:25

We're going to try Lionel.

0:19:250:19:27

That's not it either. Why?

0:19:270:19:28

We were thinking first names of the Golden Boot...

0:19:280:19:30

Best player of the tournament at the World Cup.

0:19:300:19:33

Oh, it's the scorer of the winning goal.

0:19:330:19:34

-It is the scorer of the winning goal.

-It's Mario.

0:19:340:19:37

It's Mario. Mario Gotze.

0:19:370:19:39

Yes, we're looking at successive World Cups

0:19:390:19:42

and Ronaldo scored

0:19:420:19:43

for Brazil in 2002.

0:19:430:19:44

We're going forwards through time.

0:19:440:19:46

2014 World Cup - Mario Gotze.

0:19:460:19:49

Horrifically, seconds too late. Unlucky.

0:19:490:19:53

So, at the end of Round Two,

0:19:530:19:55

the Scientists have seven points,

0:19:550:19:56

the Athenians have ten.

0:19:560:19:58

Time to put the Scientists up against the Wall

0:20:010:20:03

as they do in the very worst of revolutions,

0:20:030:20:05

but it's just the Connecting Wall - that's all it is -

0:20:050:20:08

and you've got the choice - Lion or Water.

0:20:080:20:10

-I think I'll go for Lion today.

-OK.

0:20:100:20:13

See if you can find the four connected groups in this Wall.

0:20:130:20:16

Your time starts now.

0:20:160:20:19

-OK, Edinburgh has the dog.

-Dog. Dog. Nipper.

0:20:200:20:24

-Next one could be...

-Could be down to Colleen.

0:20:240:20:28

Um, Colleen's a good one.

0:20:290:20:31

-Plus Maude, possibly? I don't know.

-Most of them are dogs.

-Lassie.

0:20:310:20:35

-Lassie would fit in dogs as well.

-Lassie.

0:20:350:20:37

-Fruit fly, damselfly, horsefly.

-Crane fly.

-Mayfly.

0:20:370:20:41

Yeah, that's another set of five.

0:20:410:20:43

Fox, Hachiko.

0:20:440:20:46

Some Japanese character, I suspect.

0:20:460:20:52

-HE LAUGHS

-Let's keep that one.

0:20:520:20:55

-Oh, yeah.

-Dragonfly.

-Yeah. So, that's... Oh!

0:20:550:20:59

Keep thinking about other stuff.

0:20:590:21:01

Hachiko, Fox, dragon.

0:21:010:21:04

They seem to me - well, certainly those two -

0:21:040:21:06

-relatively oriental.

-Shall we try one

0:21:060:21:09

with the names of the girls - the damsel...?

0:21:090:21:10

Yeah, I'm happy to go with that.

0:21:100:21:12

Damsel, maiden, lassie...

0:21:120:21:14

-Colleen?

-..and colleen.

-Oh, OK.

0:21:140:21:16

That might narrow it down a bit.

0:21:160:21:18

Um...

0:21:200:21:22

But, yeah, definitely, there has to be... Lovely.

0:21:220:21:24

Three strikes now. You're halfway through the time.

0:21:240:21:26

Laika and Greyfriars Bobby.

0:21:260:21:28

So, what about Maude, May?

0:21:280:21:30

Fox, Hachiko, um...

0:21:300:21:33

-Powerpuff Girls?

-HE LAUGHS

0:21:330:21:35

-I don't think so.

-I don't know.

-I genuinely don't know,

0:21:350:21:37

but it sounds something like that, just from the Japanese.

0:21:370:21:40

-Any idea what Hachiko is?

-No.

0:21:400:21:42

-It's a Japanese word or name, obviously.

-Yeah.

-Well, reasonably.

0:21:420:21:45

-It seems obvious to me.

-Fox.

0:21:450:21:47

-Um...

-Hmm. Shall we go for that anyway?

0:21:470:21:51

-Try and make sure we get the dogs.

-Yeah, actually, we better try it.

0:21:510:21:54

-30 seconds.

-Nipper, yeah?

0:21:540:21:56

-No? Wow. OK.

-Right, so, Maude, I think.

0:21:560:22:01

Possibly Maude sounds reasonable. But quick. Time's...

0:22:010:22:03

-Would any of these other ones fit?

-They're definitely all...

0:22:030:22:06

-15 seconds.

-Maude.

0:22:080:22:11

-We've tried that already.

-OK.

-One more go.

0:22:110:22:15

-It has to be Greyfriars Bobby...

-I think...

0:22:160:22:18

-..and...

-I'm trying to think.

0:22:180:22:20

No, that's your third go

0:22:210:22:23

and the Wall is frozen,

0:22:230:22:24

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

0:22:240:22:26

I'll give you more for the connections.

0:22:260:22:28

Damsel, maiden, lassie, colleen?

0:22:280:22:31

They're all colloquialisms for ladies.

0:22:310:22:34

That's it. They just mean girl. And the green group starting horse?

0:22:340:22:38

-Flies.

-Horsefly, crane fly, fruit fly, dragonfly.

0:22:380:22:41

That's right. You can still get points

0:22:410:22:43

for the connections of the groups you didn't find.

0:22:430:22:45

So, let's resolve the Wall.

0:22:450:22:47

There you go. That's how it should have been.

0:22:470:22:49

Nipper, Laika, Greyfriars Bobby, Hachiko.

0:22:490:22:52

-They'll be famous dogs.

-Dogs, yeah.

-Famous dogs.

0:22:520:22:54

Yes. Hachiko, you didn't know. It was a Japanese dog.

0:22:540:22:57

-Waited for 11 years at a railway station.

-Ah.

0:22:570:23:00

Like Greyfriars Bobby, but Japanese. A loyal dog.

0:23:000:23:04

And the last light blue group - Maude, May, Pickles, Fox?

0:23:040:23:08

Conservative cabinet ministers?

0:23:080:23:10

I think I have to take that. It's not exactly what I wanted to hear,

0:23:110:23:15

which is chairs of the Conservative Party.

0:23:150:23:17

But, yes, those names can all be attached

0:23:170:23:20

to cabinet ministers for the Conservative Party.

0:23:200:23:22

So, that is two groups that you found and four connections.

0:23:220:23:26

It's a total of six points. Time to bring in the Athenians now,

0:23:260:23:29

give them the other Connecting Wall - the Water Wall -

0:23:290:23:31

and see what they can do about solving it.

0:23:310:23:33

Two and a half minutes, of course, to solve the Water Wall starting now.

0:23:330:23:38

-OK, it's plum pudding.

-Plum pudding.

0:23:400:23:42

-Christmas pudding. Sponge pudding.

-Black pudding.

0:23:420:23:45

OK, you sunk all those.

0:23:460:23:47

Yorkshire pudding as well. There's six. Let's not worry.

0:23:470:23:50

-Um...

-Angel Falls. Angel... Any other angel?

0:23:500:23:53

Sea urchin. Sea coral.

0:23:530:23:55

-Hydra has so many heads.

-Yeah, seven heads.

0:23:580:24:01

Beckham. What's Beckham?

0:24:010:24:02

Is there anything other than David and Victoria?

0:24:020:24:04

The kids. Romeo.

0:24:040:24:06

-The jab is boxing.

-Boxing.

-Boxing.

-Jab.

-Line. Hook.

0:24:070:24:11

-Must be another...

-Hook?

-What's bolo?

-Yeah, there we go.

0:24:120:24:16

-What about the puddings?

-Right, I'll do the puddings.

0:24:170:24:19

You keep thinking.

0:24:190:24:21

Hydra's got nine heads, but anything else got nine of?

0:24:210:24:24

-You get a sea urchin. Sea sponge as well.

-OK. Go on, then.

0:24:250:24:28

Are there any other...? Sea coral?

0:24:280:24:29

Sea hydra? There we go. Slow. Slow down.

0:24:290:24:32

Three strikes now.

0:24:320:24:33

-Sponge pudding's gone.

-We've got five puddings.

0:24:330:24:36

-We've still got five puddings.

-What are line, Beckham and Falls?

0:24:360:24:39

-David Beckham.

-Right, let's put them in a...

0:24:390:24:41

-David Beckham. Victoria Beckham. Victoria Falls.

-Falls.

0:24:410:24:43

-BOTH:

-Victoria line. Victoria...

0:24:430:24:46

Christmas? Victoria Black?

0:24:460:24:48

-Victoria Plum?

-Victoria Plum! It was a kids toy!

0:24:480:24:51

There you go.

0:24:510:24:52

You solved the Wall. Very well done.

0:24:520:24:54

That is four points for the groups. What about the connections?

0:24:540:24:57

The first blue group starting hook?

0:24:570:24:59

They're all punches in boxing.

0:25:000:25:02

They're all punches in boxing.

0:25:020:25:04

And the second green group starting urchin?

0:25:040:25:07

They can all be preceded by the word sea.

0:25:070:25:09

You're close, but no good, I'm afraid.

0:25:090:25:11

The hydra is actually a freshwater predator. That's not it.

0:25:110:25:15

Invertebrates - that's what I wanted to hear.

0:25:150:25:17

Invertebrates that live in water.

0:25:170:25:19

And the next group - line, Plum, Beckham, Falls?

0:25:190:25:23

-They can all be preceded by the word Victoria.

-Yes, they can.

0:25:230:25:26

The light blue group - black, Yorkshire, Christmas, summer.

0:25:260:25:30

-They're all puddings.

-They are all puddings.

0:25:300:25:32

-And which is the most delicious?

-Christmas.

-A Yorkshire.

0:25:320:25:35

Actually, it's all of them mixed together in a bowl with custard.

0:25:350:25:39

So, that is four points for the groups you found

0:25:390:25:42

and three connections. That's a total of seven.

0:25:420:25:44

Let's have a look at the overall scores.

0:25:440:25:47

The Scientists have 13 points. The Athenians have 17.

0:25:470:25:51

Time for the missing vowels round. We've taken the vowels out

0:25:520:25:55

of names, faces and sayings and squished up the consonants.

0:25:550:25:58

Teams, I want to know, just like I did last time,

0:25:580:26:00

what are the disguised clues?

0:26:000:26:02

The first group are all words or phrases in English and Spanish,

0:26:020:26:07

for example, welcome and bienvenido.

0:26:070:26:09

-Athenians?

-Yes and

-si. Correct.

0:26:120:26:15

-Athenians?

-Don't speak English and no hablo espanol.

0:26:190:26:21

Not it, I'm afraid. Scientists, do you know?

0:26:210:26:23

-Don't speak Spanish and no hablo espanol.

-Is correct.

0:26:230:26:26

-Athenians?

-White and black

0:26:300:26:33

-and black y negro.

-Blanco y negro.

0:26:330:26:35

Not it, I'm afraid.

0:26:350:26:36

Scientists, do you know?

0:26:360:26:37

White and black and blanco y negro.

0:26:370:26:39

That's right.

0:26:390:26:40

-Athenians?

-Hat and sombrero.

0:26:440:26:46

That's it.

0:26:460:26:47

Next category - members of the Only Connect crew.

0:26:470:26:51

-Well done.

0:26:550:26:57

0:27:010:27:03

No, it isn't.

0:27:030:27:04

Scientists, do you know?

0:27:040:27:06

-Juliet the make-up artist.

-Beautiful.

0:27:060:27:08

Juliet the make-up artist. Next clue.

0:27:080:27:10

Athenians?

0:27:120:27:13

Huw the graphics p...

0:27:130:27:15

Too long, I'm afraid. Scientists, do you know?

0:27:150:27:17

Huw the graphics operator.

0:27:170:27:19

WELSH ACCENT: We'd say Huw,

0:27:190:27:21

but, yes, that's it. Next clue.

0:27:210:27:22

-Athenians?

-Hannah the assistant producer.

-Thank you.

0:27:220:27:25

Next category - films featuring Hugh Grant.

0:27:250:27:28

-Scientists?

-Sense And Sensibility.

-Correct.

0:27:300:27:33

-Scientists?

-America?

0:27:360:27:37

Not it, I'm afraid. No.

0:27:370:27:39

END OF QUIZ MUSIC PLAYS

0:27:390:27:42

No such film with Hugh Grant in it

0:27:420:27:44

and no time to throw it over.

0:27:440:27:45

Would have been Maurice.

0:27:450:27:47

Maurice, the old EM Forster.

0:27:470:27:49

Hugh Grant was in that film.

0:27:490:27:50

But after a dramatic Round Four,

0:27:500:27:53

in which we found out exactly who remembers whom,

0:27:530:27:55

having met them all this morning when you came in,

0:27:550:27:58

I can tell you that the winners

0:27:580:28:01

and straight through to the quarterfinals with 18 points

0:28:010:28:03

are the Scientists.

0:28:030:28:05

Very well done.

0:28:050:28:06

Athenians, bit unlucky there.

0:28:060:28:08

You are still in the competition, of course.

0:28:080:28:10

You'll get another chance to make it to the quarterfinals later on.

0:28:100:28:13

Well played, everybody.

0:28:130:28:15

Please join us next time for another episode of the quiz so hard

0:28:150:28:18

that we all end up scratching our heads,

0:28:180:28:20

though that might be the nits.

0:28:200:28:22

What? They live in clean hair. It's clean. Don't tease me.

0:28:220:28:24

Please still come to my party. It's clean.
