0:14:02 > 0:14:05That is exactly what it is! Well done, Innis.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07There are ten types of people in the world -
0:14:07 > 0:14:09those who understand binary
0:14:09 > 0:14:10and those who don't.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11We just wanted to hear
0:14:11 > 0:14:134 x 3 = 12 in binary. Well done.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Back to you, String Section,

0:15:08 > 0:15:09The Long Good Friday.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Not it, I'm afraid.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12There's a bonus possibility
0:15:12 > 0:15:13for the Scientists now.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I am going to guess something about winter,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18so a Shakespeare play, A Winter's Tale.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20You have to tell me something
0:15:20 > 0:15:21a little bit more than that
0:15:21 > 0:15:22for a bonus point.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Well, the Jeff Wayne song, I'm assuming, is Forever Autumn,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30so always winter is...
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Always winter, that's all I want here.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33If you can give me an example,
0:15:33 > 0:15:34a nice one might be
0:15:34 > 0:15:36the White Witch's curse on Narnia.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38But something always or eternal,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41because we are looking at the Rodin sculpture
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Eternal Spring, that surfing
0:15:42 > 0:15:44documentary is Endless Summer,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Forever Autumn, so something that is forever winter, for example,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50the White Witch's curse.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Well done. You get a bonus point, and which question would you like?

0:16:52 > 0:16:55A song from 1970.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56No good, I'm afraid.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57That is not a sequence.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00String Section, your chance for a bonus point.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Just say any artist. Dinah Washington.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Something by Dinah Washington.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Any song by Dinah Washington,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08that's it. They share their names
0:17:08 > 0:17:09with the fourth to first
0:17:09 > 0:17:11presidents of the United States.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12We're going backwards.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13We heard from Madison Avenue,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15share their name with James Madison.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Then Jefferson Airplane
0:17:16 > 0:17:17for Thomas Jefferson.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Next was Bryan Adams.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And I wanted to hear something from an act that shared their name
0:17:21 > 0:17:23with George Washington - for example,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25anything by Dinah Washington.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Can you name anything
0:17:26 > 0:17:27by Dinah Washington?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Mad About The Boy. - Mad About The Boy is lovely.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31The audience might not know what
0:17:31 > 0:17:33you mean. Let's give it a go.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Not again.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36One, two, three, four.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- DISCORDANTLY: - # I'm mad about the boy. #
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Something like that. - I've run out of...
0:17:42 > 0:17:43You gave it a try,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45that's the main thing.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47You showed up and gave it a try, absolutely lovely.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Well done. You get that point and
0:17:49 > 0:17:50you can choose your own question.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51What would you like?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- The Twisted Flax, please. - Twisted Flax, OK.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07Next, please.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- Oh.- It's where the Pauline letters were written, so...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15But I can't... Um...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17HE WHISPERS
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Next, please.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Um...

0:18:32 > 0:18:34- The Hebrews.- Richard.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I'm afraid that is not the answer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38There is a possible bonus point
0:18:38 > 0:18:39for you, Scientists.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41The Ecclesiastes.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44No. The answer would be Rome.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Let me go back to our resident RE teacher.- They're backwards!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Why would the answer be Rome? - It's going backwards, isn't it?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54So, that's the first place to which Paul wrote a letter.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56That is it. We're going backwards.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58It is the letters written by Paul,
0:18:58 > 0:18:59but it is more what he would have
0:18:59 > 0:19:00popped on the envelope.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03He'd have had to write Rome on there,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08He is writing to people that live in those places
0:19:08 > 0:19:09in the books of the Bible,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11and we're going in reverse order.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13That'll be an awkward moment
0:19:13 > 0:19:15when you go back to school, won't it? OTHERS LAUGH
0:19:15 > 0:19:16So, Scientists,
0:19:16 > 0:19:17you don't get the bonus point,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19but you get the last question, Water.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22What would come fourth in this picture sequence?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I'd like you to describe the sort of thing
0:19:24 > 0:19:26you'd expect to see in the fourth picture. Here is the first.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31That's between Germany and Poland.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36THEY WHISPER
0:19:38 > 0:19:40That is behind the Iron Curtain.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Next, please.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Baltic Sea.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Are they all places that were neutral?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Or on the opposite side. Controlled by the opposite side.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I think. Shall I guess?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56But we need the fourth one.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Yep.- I'd go for it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00BELL
0:20:00 > 0:20:02West Berlin, a picture thereof.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Not a sequence, I'm afraid.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I like your gambling spirit.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Let's show the third one
0:20:08 > 0:20:09to the String Section,
0:20:09 > 0:20:10see if you want to have a go.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Texas.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18I mean, it spectacularly isn't Texas.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Would it help if I told you
0:20:19 > 0:20:22that those areas of the map depicted
0:20:22 > 0:20:24represented Stettin, the Baltic
0:20:24 > 0:20:25and Trieste?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's to do with Churchill's speech about the Iron Curtain
0:20:28 > 0:20:29coming down over Europe.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31That is exactly what it is.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the ADRIATIC,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36"an Iron Curtain has descended
0:20:36 > 0:20:37"across the continent."
0:20:37 > 0:20:40We wanted to hear the Adriatic.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42At the end of Round Two...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51What about a couple of horrible Only Connect
0:20:51 > 0:20:53quarterfinal Connecting Walls?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I thought you'd like it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58You get the dubious pleasure of going first this time, Scientists.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Would you like Lion or Water? - I fancy the Water today.- Water.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06OK, you have two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11OK. Would it go through the old blues musicians?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Hoover Dam - that's an Elvis song.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15- Yeah.- Plage is beach.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Monrovia is the capital of Liberia.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Juba is the capital of South Sudan. - Oh, well, OK.- African capitals?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Yeah, that's got to be what it is. Kahakai one?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Um, I don't know that one.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- BUZZ - Oh, there's Praia.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Victoria's one, isn't it? - No, I don't think so.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30It might be, but I don't think it is.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- BUZZ - It might be Seychelles, actually.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Just try something.- Yeah. Um...
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Oh, lovely.- Right, OK.- Next one.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Monrovia is named after an American president.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- Well, yeah, so is Hoover Dam, so... - Hoover, yeah.- And teddy bear.- Teddy.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Yeah, and then...- Polk.- Polk.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- BUZZ - Oh, OK.- So, that's five things.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Woody Guthrie might have been named after...
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Woodrow or something like that. - Woodrow, yeah.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Look, we've got a certain...
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- BUZZ - No. Monrovia.- Oh, oops. OK.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Not Cristiano Ronaldo. - BUZZ
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Other stuff. Spiaggia - no idea. - BUZZ
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Surrender is... - BUZZ
0:22:02 > 0:22:07- Strand is another word for a beach. - BUZZ
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Did we not try all of these?- No. - BUZZ
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Kahakai might be a beach word. - BUZZ
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Spiaggia as well.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Oh, all seafront words. - Nice one. Nice one.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Right, OK, that's probably one of the groups.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Three strikes now. - Let's think this through.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Teddy Bear is an Elvis song.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Surrender is an Elvis song.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23OK, so, it's definitely...
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Wait.- Um...
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Cristiano Ronaldo...- Polk. - ..might have been named after...
0:22:28 > 0:22:29It's hard to...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Maybe he was right after Ronald Reagan or something.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Hmm, yeah. - Is one of these an Elvis song?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Must be Polk Salad Annie or Hoover Dam.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Oh, it could be...- Yes!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40That's it. You've solved the wall.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Very well done.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42You get all the points for the groups.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44What about the connections?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Let's start with the top blue group that begins Victoria.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I think they're all African capital cities.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Yes, they are.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52And the green group, starting spiaggia?
0:22:52 > 0:22:57They all sound to me like words for beachfronts or seasides.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59They all mean beach. That's right.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02And the pink or purple group, stating Surrender?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- They're all Elvis songs. Elvis Presley songs.- They are.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07And the light blue group, starting Monrovia?
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Things named after American presidents.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10That is absolutely right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Monrovia, of course, a red herring in the other groups,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14is the capital city of Liberia,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- but who's it named after? - Um, is it...
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- James Monroe.- ..James Monroe? - Absolutely right.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20That is all the connecting points as well.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'll give you a bonus for getting it all right. That's the maximum of ten.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Let's bring back the String Section and give them the other wall -
0:23:26 > 0:23:28the Lion wall - and see what they can do with it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Two and a half minutes, of course, is what you have
0:23:30 > 0:23:32to try and solve this wall.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Time starts now.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- OK. OK.- It's...
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Culture vulture, but vulture, buzzard, osprey, kite -
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- they're all birds of prey. - We've got falcon as well.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Do you want to go in there and...?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- BUZZ - Types of...?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- What about...? - There's kite as well. There's four.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- There's economists. Keynes, Friedman.- Keynes, Friedman.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Um...
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Ooh, wait! They're the second half of towns.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- So, Saffron Walden, King's Lynn...- Good.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00..Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Well done. Nicely spotted.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Um...- Dragon. Are they...? Are these...?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Dragons and Scarlets and Ospreys are rugby...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Um, badges.- Say Falcons as well.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- One, two, three, Falcons. - BUZZ
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- No.- Um, Blues.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- So, let's go with Dragon.- Oh, good. - Three strikes now. Plenty of time.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18All right, so, presumably, Vulcan, fal...
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Vulture, falcon, kite and hobby.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22But, then, are they some...?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23How specific do we need to be?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Are they just...? - Wait, Modigliani is an artist.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- And an economist.- But are they...?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Is that also the name of a...? - Hayek?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Salma Hayek? Yeah.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34And Tobin.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I'd be tempted to say it's hobby, kite and vulture,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- and then one of these two or one of the bottom three...- OK.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41..with that being what they expect for a surname.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- But then what are the...?- OK. - What are the surnames?- Um...
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- What kind of art is it? - What kind of economists?
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Early 20th century?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I can tell you Friedman is the choreographer on The X Factor.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Really?- That's useful. Spelt that way - with an I-E?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- I believe so.- Right. Shall we...? We need to start pressing.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Let's go one, two, three, four. - BUZZ
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- One, two, three, four. - BUZZ

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Very interesting strategy you had there,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15but that's four points. What about the connections,
0:25:15 > 0:25:19starting with Kaynes or Keynes in the top group?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Second half of English towns.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23That's right.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24They are the second halves
0:25:24 > 0:25:26of two-worded English place names.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28The second green group, starting scarlet?
0:25:28 > 0:25:34They are...rugby union teams.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I need to hear something else.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Are they all Welsh clubs? - Are they all Welsh?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41They are Welsh rugby union teams. Absolutely right.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44The pink group - hobby, vulture, kite, falcon?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Birds of prey. - They are all birds of prey.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49And the light blue group starting Modigliani?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Economists.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53They are all economists.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I'd love to hear something else as well, if you can tell me.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Nobel-winning economists?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00They are Nobel-winning economists.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02That's absolutely it. Yes, they are economists,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04so you get full Wall points for the connections
0:26:04 > 0:26:05and a bonus for getting it all right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08That's the maximum of ten. Let's have a look at the scores.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17We are now going to decide who goes through to the semifinal
0:26:17 > 0:26:21and who goes home with the missing vowels round.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55because the bell has gone for the end of the quiz.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57And looking at the final scores,
