0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello and welcome to Only Connect.

0:00:24 > 0:00:25If knowledge is fashionable,

0:00:25 > 0:00:27then this show is the ultimate catwalk,

0:00:27 > 0:00:29in the sense that backstage,

0:00:29 > 0:00:32there's nothing to eat and everyone's throwing up.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34But knowledge ISN'T fashionable,

0:00:34 > 0:00:36as we'll find out in a moment.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Let's meet the teams.

0:00:38 > 0:00:43On my right, Mick Hodgkin, a crossword compiler and Arsenal fan

0:00:43 > 0:00:46who's written a history of the world in 100 limericks.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48John Tozer, a data scientist

0:00:48 > 0:00:52who's distantly related to the noted architect Charles Holden.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55And their captain, Richard Heald,

0:00:55 > 0:00:58a keen Scrabbler who's able to say and spell

0:00:58 > 0:00:59the longest place name in the world.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03United by a compunction for competitive crossword clue writing,

0:01:03 > 0:01:05they are the Cluesmiths.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Richard, you won your first game against the Operational Researchers,

0:01:09 > 0:01:11then lost to the Yorkers.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15More to the point, what IS the longest place name in the world?

0:01:15 > 0:01:19It's 85 letters long, Victoria. And let's hear it.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Oh, OK. Um... HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:01:22 > 0:01:26Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga

0:01:26 > 0:01:28horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32Easy for you to say. They must sell enormous postcards.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Have you been there or is this just a quiz fact? Never been there.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Maybe one day. Maybe you can treat yourself to a trip

0:01:38 > 0:01:41with the winnings from this show. Oh, no, hang on... That won't work.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44You are facing tonight, on my left,

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Chris Beer, an English graduate

0:01:46 > 0:01:48who enjoys reading biographies of Napoleon

0:01:48 > 0:01:52and was once interviewed as a Healthy Schools representative

0:01:52 > 0:01:54on BBC Radio Lincolnshire.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Ewan MacAulay, a chemistry student who was attacked by dogs

0:01:58 > 0:02:01owned by a local beekeeper in Kurdistan.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03And their captain, Sam Swift,

0:02:03 > 0:02:06a policy researcher who once had a detailed conversation

0:02:06 > 0:02:09about drink-driving with the British ambassador to Iceland

0:02:09 > 0:02:11and Tommy Walsh from Ground Force.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14United in spirit, they are the Mixologists.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17You lost your first game against the Spaghetti Westerners

0:02:17 > 0:02:20and then won against the Collectors. How was that last game for you?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Tense, close, harrowing

0:02:23 > 0:02:25and it was a good job we were all wearing dark trousers.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Is there anything that you might have revised before this next game,

0:02:29 > 0:02:33having learned from last time? Um, nothing particularly comes to mind.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Hopefully, we can have another good Wall.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38We've been scared of the Wall, but I think we can break it down.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Confident, fighting talk.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Before we get to the Wall, we're going play Rounds One and Two.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Let's start with you, Cluesmiths. You won the toss.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph. Eye of Horus, please.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55OK. What is the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Here's the first.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Next.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08An entry in a dictionary. Oh, OK...

0:03:08 > 0:03:12An entry in a dictionary... Definition? Definition?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Next, please.

0:03:14 > 0:03:19Your flexible friend. It's Access. It's Access. Yes.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Shall we go for access?

0:03:21 > 0:03:22BELL

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Is it access? Not the answer, I'm afraid,

0:03:25 > 0:03:28so I'm going to show the fourth clue to the Mixologists.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31You have the chance of a bonus point. OK, er...

0:03:31 > 0:03:33It was the Excel.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36No, that's not it either.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Now, the third clue is Access, the fourth clue is Excel.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh! The first one, Matthew Bannister's show, is Outlook.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44And entry in a dictionary is Word. You're groaning.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48Do you know the answer now? Yes, Microsoft Office programmes.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Microsoft software, yes.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Outlook, Word, Access, Excel.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Together they make Microsoft software.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Unlucky. No bonus point, but you do get to choose your own question.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Two Reeds, please. Two Reeds. These are going to be picture clues.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Something connects them, but what is it?

0:04:06 > 0:04:07Here's the first.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Grampa Abe and a bassoon. Bassoon Abe? Bassoon Simpson?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Bassoon Grampa? OK, next, please.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19That's a flute. Bird. Abe, bird...

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Are they jazz musicians and the instruments they played?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25And the instruments they played. Yeah, who's Abe?

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Bird is Charlie Bird Parker. Charlie Bird Parker. Did he play the flute?

0:04:29 > 0:04:32I don't know. Shall we get the next one? Next.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Top cat and a clarinet.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37I think it... Nicknames of jazz musicians?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Shall we just get the last one?

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Yeah. Next.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46A fox and a French horn. BELL

0:04:46 > 0:04:49OK, jazz musicians and their nicknames and instruments.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53That is not the answer, I'm afraid. We'll come back to that in a minute,

0:04:53 > 0:04:55but Cluesmiths, do you want to go for a bonus point?

0:04:55 > 0:04:58We were thinking on similar lines. Wait. Is it Peter And The Wolf?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00The instruments representing the animals?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02It is Peter And The Wolf.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Right back at clue one, when you said, "Bassoon, Grampa",

0:05:05 > 0:05:07that was your way in.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15They are characters in Prokofiev's Peter And The Wolf

0:05:15 > 0:05:18and the associated instruments. Well done, Cluesmiths.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21You have a bonus point. Which question would you like?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Water, please. Water. What is the connection between these clues?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Here's the first.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Next.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46.ci. .ci... This must be... 101.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49It could be an internet domain... Next.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Epithet for Mary... Epithet for Mary?

0:05:54 > 0:05:58Virgin? Virgin Islands? Channel Islands, yeah.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Shall we go for it? BELL

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Is it islands? No, it is not,

0:06:03 > 0:06:07as you'll discover when I show the fourth clue to the Mixologists.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10A possible bonus point. Pff, er, um...

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Mary is Theotoki, I think. OK, we'll go for that

0:06:14 > 0:06:16cos that sounds good. Theotoki.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Not the answer either. Now, of course, when you see... Oh!

0:06:20 > 0:06:22What was tickled en masse by Liberace? Keys.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26There's only one possible answer to that. Ivories, the ivories.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28That's all he tickled, nothing else.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29In the first clue - that's a tricky one -

0:06:29 > 0:06:32it's the purity of ivory soap.

0:06:32 > 0:06:3899 and 44/100% was the boast of ivory soap.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40.ci is the internet domain code for the Ivory Coast.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43There are many epithets for Mary, of course,

0:06:43 > 0:06:48but Ivory Tower is one of them. And what did Liberace tickle?

0:06:48 > 0:06:50On a good day, it was the ivories. Mmm.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Mixologists, what would you like? Twisted Flax, please. Twisted Flax.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56What is the connection between these clues?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Here's the first.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02216 is 6 cubed. 6 cubed, so 666.

0:07:02 > 0:07:066 x 6 x 6. Yeah. That means evil.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Next, please.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11376. When was...? Oh...

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Are these amendments to something or designations or something?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Or acts? Acts. Next, please.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Polygraphy? Lie detection. Lie detection. OK.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Things about...? Next, please.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Three seconds. BELL

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Um, things that were outlawed by Cromwell.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43No, although I like the idea of outlawing evil.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45That's my kind of law.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49No, Cluesmiths, bonus opportunity for you.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Um... It's a numerical one. And...

0:07:52 > 0:07:54..we can't see it. You can't do it?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Is it something to do with 6? No, it isn't.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00I loved what you were doing at the beginning there with the 666

0:08:00 > 0:08:02and can you do it by maths?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05No, it's simply the Dewey Decimal System of classifying books.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07These are depreciated classifications.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12They are former Dewey classifications for books in libraries. Of course!

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Of course, now you look at it. It's all on computer now.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Yes, I think, initially, education of women was filed under evil

0:08:17 > 0:08:21and then they later got rid of all of them. Yes, the Dewey System.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Right, come on, everyone. Time to wake up and get some points.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Cluesmiths, you've got the last choice of the round. Lion, please.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Lion. What is the connection between these clues?

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Here's the first.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Is it Egyptian pharaohs?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Next, please.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Son of. Oh, son of. Yes, yes.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Is it son of? Yes. Shall we go for it?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51BELL Is it son of?

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Coming in after two clues, you get 3 points. Son of.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56What can you tell me about the clues?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58We can do the last one.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Son of Sam was the serial killer David Berkowitz. That's right.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07Son of... Son of perdition is an epithet for Judas.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Yes, who said that? Jesus.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Jesus referred to Judas as the son of perdition.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14The son of a preacher man was the only man who ever loved her.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17He was the only man who ever loved Dusty Springfield,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20according to that song. And Amenhotep was referred to

0:09:20 > 0:09:22as son of Hapu to distinguish him

0:09:22 > 0:09:25from King Amenhotep III in ancient Egypt.

0:09:25 > 0:09:30He was a sort of Egyptian official, later deified. All son of. Well done.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34OK, final question and last chance to score for you, Mixologists.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37It's the Horned Viper. MUSICAL CHORD

0:09:37 > 0:09:40The music question, of course. We should have known it was coming.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.

0:09:43 > 0:09:48# Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day.. # Next.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51# Life goes on around him everywhere... #

0:09:51 > 0:09:55That sounds like John Denver, but I don't know.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Um, shall we get the next one? Yeah. Next.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02# Every... # Katy Perry, Domino.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04No, it's Jesse J, Domino.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Wizard... Wizard, Jesse J, Domino...

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Wishing it was Christmas every day, domino...

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Another. Next, please.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17# Let me take you down cos I'm going to... # Strawberry Fields Forever.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Three seconds.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23BELL

0:10:23 > 0:10:29Um, let's go that they are all films with Keira Knightley in them.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32I'm afraid they are not all films with Keira Knightley in them.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35So, a last bonus chance for you, Cluesmiths.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Are they all related to games?

0:10:37 > 0:10:42No... Computer games? The middle two are but not the first and last.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46It is more about films. Now, this is a difficult one.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50The first tricky, oblique one, I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Christmas is the key word. Next one is Solitaire, then Domino.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57They're Bond girls. Then Strawberry Fields Forever. Oh!

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Once again, you're going, "Oh!" At the last minute.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Do you know now? Are they Bond girls? It is Bond girls.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05We're thinking about Christmas Jones from The World Is Not Enough,

0:11:05 > 0:11:12Solitaire from Live And Let Die, Domino from...? Oh, um, er...

0:11:12 > 0:11:14That one. Exactly, Thunderball.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17And Strawberry Fields from the recent one, Quantum Of Solace.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19It was Gemma Arterton. Poor boys!

0:11:19 > 0:11:23You have spent the whole round going, "Oh!", just at the last minute.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25And there again, Bond girls.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27That means, at the end of Round One...

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Round Two isn't going to be any easier, I'm afraid.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38There are still four connective clues, but this time,

0:11:38 > 0:11:42they come in a sequence and I want to know what the fourth one is.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46Cluesmiths, you'll be going first again. Please choose a hieroglyph.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Two Reeds, please. Two Reeds. You will see the first in a sequence.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51I want to know what comes fourth.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52Time starts now.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Next.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:12:03 > 0:12:06INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Is it, um...absolute zero? Don't know.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Um... Next, please.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Um, we can't get a sequence.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Any ideas at all? Do you recognise those numbers? Three seconds.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34That's it, I'm afraid. You're out of time.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38So, another bonus opportunity for you, Mixologists.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Ewan, as our token scientist, is going to take a stab in the dark.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Let's hear it. Um, it's the...

0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's the boiling and melting points of iodine.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48Um, so...

0:12:48 > 0:12:52I'm afraid this is far too long for your scientific brain

0:12:52 > 0:12:54to come to the point.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57No, the answer is Top: 100 and 212.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58You're in the right area.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01It's the marker points of Celsius and Fahrenheit

0:13:01 > 0:13:03and it's the bottom and then the top

0:13:03 > 0:13:07and we want to hear 100 and then it's equivalent 212.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12Celsius and Fahrenheit marker points, expressed in both scales.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13All right, Mixologists.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17Is this going to be the moment you get off the blocks? I feel it is.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20What is the hieroglyph of glory? Eye of Horus. The Eye of Horus.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Here's the first.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29General Grievous in Revenge Of The Sith. He's got four light sabres.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33He's got four light sabres. Next, please.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37Captain America. Easy Rider?

0:13:37 > 0:13:41Easy Rider. Captain America is played by Chris...

0:13:41 > 0:13:45Chris... Evans. Chris Evans. Next, please.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Three wheels? Ooh.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Cos he rides a one-wheel thing, two wheels,

0:13:52 > 0:13:55three wheels and four wheels. OK, so Batman. Yeah, Batman.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58BELL So, Batman. For what reason?

0:13:58 > 0:14:02The Batmobile has four wheels. Then it's an acceptable answer.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04We were thinking of Mr Toad from The Wind In The Willows,

0:14:04 > 0:14:07but anybody with a four-wheeled vehicle. And why?

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Because General Grievous, as Ewan... Has a one-wheeled vehicle.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13A sort of giant hamster wheel, isn't it, his vehicle?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Easy Rider is Captain America's motorbike.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17That is the motorbike movie.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19The famous yellow Robin Reliant.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Del Boy in Only Fools And Horses has a three-wheeled van,

0:14:22 > 0:14:27so one, two, three and four wheels. Well done. At last, 2 points.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Enjoy that water. It's well-earned!

0:14:29 > 0:14:32OK, Cluesmiths, what would you like? Twisted Flax, please.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35The Twisted Flax. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Here's the first.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Next.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:14:49 > 0:14:53Shall we get one more? Yeah, get another one. Next.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Corsica? Let's just go for Corsica.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01Is it islands in the...? BELL

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Is it Corsica? Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07So, Mixologists, your chance to have a go. Sicily.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Sicily is the right answer. And why's that? Islands that...

0:15:10 > 0:15:14Do they all belong to Italy, in terms of size? That's it.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18It's simply largest Italian islands. A standard geography question.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21And the next in the sequence would be Sicily.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Mixologists, you get a bonus point and your chance to choose.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27Horned Viper, please. OK. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:15:27 > 0:15:28These are going to be picture clues,

0:15:28 > 0:15:31so what would you expect to see in the fourth picture?

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Here's the first.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35It's a glass of wine, red wine. Next, please.

0:15:37 > 0:15:38That's Patrick Moore.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41INAUDIBLE MURMURING

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Um... Next, please.

0:15:47 > 0:15:53Who's that? With the two of them as well. I don't know who it is.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Wine, Moore, red wine...

0:15:56 > 0:16:00Famous Moores. Famous Moores. Bobby Moore. Henry Moore.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Is it the England back four?

0:16:03 > 0:16:06I think we should just go football or something? Stiles...

0:16:06 > 0:16:08BELL

0:16:08 > 0:16:12Um, let's put a picture of Damien Hirst. For what reason?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Because that could well be representative of Bobby Moore

0:16:15 > 0:16:16and then that could be...

0:16:16 > 0:16:20er, Dorothy Stile, so there's Stiles

0:16:20 > 0:16:23and then Geoff Hurst, played up front in '66.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25With that logic, I'm afraid Damien Hirst

0:16:25 > 0:16:28is not an acceptable answer, so Cluesmiths, do you want to have a go?

0:16:28 > 0:16:32No. No, sorry. I really like this question. I think this is great fun,

0:16:32 > 0:16:35but if you don't recognise the person at clue three,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38you never stood any chance at all. That is Cybill Shepherd.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Shepherds. You're all too young for Moonlighting, I think.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43That was her big show. And there's two of her. Shepherds.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46So, we're looking at Red, Sky At Night,

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Shepherds. Oh!

0:16:48 > 0:16:51We want an image of delight, for example,

0:16:51 > 0:16:55Only Connect and some jubilant scenes from that delightful show.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Oh, dear. That was fun, that question.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03Mick, have you written a limerick about Only Connect? I hear you have.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07I have got one, if you like, yes. Come on then. OK.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Contestants on Only Connect Are never sure what to expect

0:17:10 > 0:17:13We'll pass Eye of Horus Then Lion will floor us

0:17:13 > 0:17:15With something we can't recollect.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17APPLAUSE

0:17:17 > 0:17:20I think that's very good. Update - ALL the clues will floor us.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24Yes, that wasn't accurate in terms of...what's happened.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25I like that tremendously.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28OK, I'm so pleased I'm going to give you the chance to choose a question.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Lion, please. Lion. MUSICAL CHORD

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Will the Lion floor you? It's a music sequence.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35We just heard the little chord.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38So, what would you expect to hear in fourth place?

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Here's the first.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43# Don't, don't you want me...? # Human League. Next.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46# Save your love, my darling, save your love... #

0:17:46 > 0:17:48It's successive Christmas number ones.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51BELL It's Band Aid,

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Do They Know It's Christmas? I don't know what you mean.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56You're going to have to perform it for me so that I understand.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00I will give you 3 points, but let's hear it. One, two, three, four.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04# It's Christmas time There's no need to be afraid. #

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Absolutely lovely. In that case, 3 points, very well earned.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09Can you explain why?

0:18:09 > 0:18:12They're the Christmas number ones of '81, '82, '83 and '84.

0:18:12 > 0:18:13Absolutely right.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15And the moment you heard...

0:18:15 > 0:18:18And the third one was Only You by the Flying Pickets, I believe.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Only You by the Flying Pickets, yes. But you only needed to hear two.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Is that because you're a big fan of the charts

0:18:24 > 0:18:27or you've just boned up on your Christmas number ones?

0:18:27 > 0:18:28I'm still living in the '80s.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32I see. Very well done. Back to you, Mixologists,

0:18:32 > 0:18:34for the last question. It's Water.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37They were not floored by Lion.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Can you cruise down the Water to point success?

0:18:40 > 0:18:41What will be fourth in this sequence?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Here's the first.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48These are... The Pevensie children. So, Peter the Great.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51In age. So, Lucy's the youngest. So, Peter's the oldest.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Yes, are you sure? Um... I'm willing to go for it. I'm willing.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59I'm willing to go for it.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01BELL Peter the Great.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05I love your gambling spirit, but I'm afraid that is not the answer.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07ALL: Oh! So, Cluesmiths, I'm going to show you

0:19:07 > 0:19:09the next two clues in the sequence

0:19:09 > 0:19:12and I'd like to know what comes fourth.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Oh, was it Peter? Peter the Brave. Not it either.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19You did well to recognise the Pevensie children's titles in Narnia.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23We are going up in age. But it was Peter the Magnificent. Was it? Oh!

0:19:23 > 0:19:27Peter the Magnificent. Sorry. That's all right. I'm very sorry.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30I'd like to have given the 5 points, but I cannot.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32At the end of Round Two...

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Time now for the Connecting Wall.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42The Mixologists will be going first this time.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46I really feel I can appreciate your shirt at this point.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50"You've cat to be kitten me right meow."

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Based on the well-known expression...

0:19:52 > 0:19:56You've got to be kidding me right now. Right now? Right now.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00I don't know if that's a thing. We're feline good about it. Oh! Oh...

0:20:00 > 0:20:04Luckily there's no time for this because we've got to play a Wall.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07You've got a choice. Lion or Water? The Lion Wall, please.

0:20:07 > 0:20:12You're going with the cat. You've cat to be kitten me right meow.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17You have two and a half minutes to solve the Lion Wall, starting now.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31What about the connections?

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Tell me about the dark blue group, starting Enter.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37These are all things you can do on a computer keyboard.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Simple computer keys.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04You don't remember the Great Waldo Pepper?

0:22:04 > 0:22:06This might have been before our time.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08I suppose you wouldn't remember it.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Robert Redford plays a pilot. Does he?

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Not great if you're frightened of flying, which I am,

0:22:13 > 0:22:15but it's a lovely film anyway. Well done.

0:22:15 > 0:22:174 points for the groups you found, 4 for the connections,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20a bonus of 2 for getting it all right. That is a maximum of 10.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Let's bring back the other team now, give them a new Wall

0:22:23 > 0:22:25and see what they can do about solving it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28It's the Water Wall for you, Cluesmiths. The Lion's been taken.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11They're all perfumes, I believe. Those are the perfumes.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Almost anything could be a red herring in that category.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15I wear the Pointless perfume,

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Tanner - that's a sixpence.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Not tenner - that would be a cockly Ben.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50But a tanner would be a sixpence.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Lady Godiva, deep-sea diver, a fiver.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56Bag of sand - a grand, a thousand. Oh, I'm itching for the casino.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59So, well done. All the groups, all the connections, plus the bonus.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03That is a maximum of 10 points. Let's have a look at the scores.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12One of these teams is going to the quarterfinals,

0:26:12 > 0:26:14the other team is going home.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04One Hundred Dalmatians...

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Not the right answer, I'm afraid. You lose a point.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Cluesmiths, do you know?

0:27:08 > 0:27:12Nine Hundred And Ninety-Nine... Thousand, Hundred...

0:27:12 > 0:27:15No, far too long. Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Thousand,

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Cluesmiths. END OF ROUND MUSIC

0:28:00 > 0:28:03through to the quarterfinals,

0:28:03 > 0:28:06it is the Cluesmiths.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08On 14 points and very sadly going home,

0:28:11 > 0:28:12It was lovely to see you.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16I'm afraid it's the end of your run. Well done, Cluesmiths.
