0:00:20 > 0:00:25Tonight, Only Connect joins the 200 club.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27What does that sentence even mean?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30There is no such club, and even if there were, how could a quiz join it?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32The Garrick doesn't even admit women.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33But it is a special night,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36and we have a special cake because it is our 200th episode,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39which, human society, being a culture obsessed with base ten,
0:00:39 > 0:00:40has deemed significant.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Something to do with the hands, apparently.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45If we all had 12 fingers it would be a different story.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Speaking of which, let's meet the teams.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50On my right -
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Mick Hodgkin, a journalist and crossword compiler,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56who inherited a belt previously owned by Dylan Thomas,
0:00:56 > 0:00:57which he has since lost.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01John Tozer, a data scientist and keen gardener,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04who was born on the day that Gatwick Airport opened.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09And their captain, Richard Heald, an IT consultant and enthusiastic skier,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13whose great-grandmother was born on the same day as Adolf Hitler.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16All wowed by wordplay, they are the Cluesmiths.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Welcome to the 200th episode.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Have you been watching since our early days,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21or did you jump on the bandwagon at BBC Two?
0:01:21 > 0:01:23No, we've certainly been watching since the early days.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25In fact, before the first show went to air,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28in the years running up to it, we used to spend our Monday evenings
0:01:28 > 0:01:32just staring at a blank TV screen just waiting for it to happen.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Well, you are very welcome.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36You are facing tonight, on my left -
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Tessa North, an American Studies graduate who has
0:01:40 > 0:01:43almost touched Michael Moore's Oscar.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Pete Sorel-Cameron, an actor and musician
0:01:46 > 0:01:49who came second in a Kenneth Williams impersonation contest,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52held at midnight in a Norwich pub.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56And their captain, Richard Aubrey, a philosophy and theology graduate
0:01:56 > 0:02:00who stole a cup of Frank Bruno's saliva from the Foreign Office.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03United by their collective pluck, they are the String Section.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05How are you feeling about the 200th episode?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Are you overwhelmed by the pageantry?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08I honestly can't think
0:02:08 > 0:02:12whether I'm more excited about the semifinal or the special episode.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I mean, if you wanted an Only Connect sequence,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18we are talking, sort of, Royal Wedding,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Olympic opening ceremony, Diamond Jubilee...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I mean, exactly. Just look at this cake.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26It nearly wobbles as much as the real studio.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I mean, this is no expense spared.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Right, on with the semifinal.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Cluesmiths, you won the toss. You'll be going first.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The questions are going to be very difficult, I must tell you that.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Which one would you like to start with?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40- Lion, please.- Lion.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK, What is the connection between
0:02:42 > 0:02:44these apparently random clues?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Here's the first.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Next.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56"No special lighting."
0:02:58 > 0:03:00THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Shall we have one more?- Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Next, please.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Shall we go for the fourth?- Yeah.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Next.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Three seconds.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Is it amongst the rules
0:03:27 > 0:03:29for Only Connect?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Good guess, but no. String Section,
0:03:32 > 0:03:33do you want to have a guess?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35So it's...
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Rules for filming inside the TARDIS?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I can't give you too long.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Rules for filming inside the TARDIS, apparently.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42That's not it, either,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44but you're both close.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45It's Dogme.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Do you know Dogme?- Oh, yes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Dogme cinema.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Weird sort of film movement
0:03:50 > 0:03:52that had various rules.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53I think, basically, the guiding
0:03:53 > 0:03:55principle is anything that might
0:03:55 > 0:03:56seem fun or gripping,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58any kind of narrative you can follow.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59I mean, you were close with rules for
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Only Connect, but no.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Dogme film-making.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05So, no bonus points. String Section, do you want to choose a question?
0:04:05 > 0:04:06I think we'll go for Two Reeds,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08which has served us well in the past.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Oh, that's a music question.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11What will the clues you're about
0:04:11 > 0:04:13to hear have in common?

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Doesn't apply to all the clues,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I'm afraid. So Cluesmiths,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- you have the chance of a bonus point. - Is it to do with pizzas?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Oh, pizzas.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04No, I don't think any of them
0:05:04 > 0:05:06are anything to do with pizzas.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07What are you thinking of?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09We're thinking of The Four Seasons.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26but you have another question.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Eye of Horus, please.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15So, Cluesmiths,
0:07:15 > 0:07:16another chance for a bonus.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Are they represented
0:07:18 > 0:07:19by the letter B?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21No, they're not, they're not.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Now, it is...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24You do need to translate it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27They're artists, aren't they?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29They're Italian Renaissance painters.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Horned Viper, please.- Horned Viper.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50What is the connection between these picture clues?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Here's the first.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Jonah has Nahum in it.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Arsenic has Ni in it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Florida has ID in it.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06is the beginning of the second.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07That's what is overlapping,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09that's what's contained.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23into the next thing.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Well done.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30the Cluesmiths have two.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Speaking of overlapping into the next thing,
0:10:35 > 0:10:36we're onto the Sequences Round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39That's Round Two - What comes fourth in a sequence?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's probably going to be as horrible as the round before, except worse.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44So, Cluesmiths, you get to go first
0:10:44 > 0:10:45again, what would you like?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Lion again, please.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35So, String Section, can you get it?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37N and Rh.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Oh, I can hear my heart breaking.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42You are so close, but no.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I got the wrong symbol for Rhenium. - You've got the wrong symbol
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- for Rhenium.- Yes.- It is N and Re.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48That is so brilliant, I wish
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I could give you points but I can't.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Talk me through the sequence.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53It is the Tom Lehrer Elements song.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56That's what it is. It is the Tom Lehrer song,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57written with symbols
0:11:57 > 0:12:00so there's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium
0:12:00 > 0:12:01and hydrogen and oxygen
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and nitrogen and rhenium.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You're very clever but I cannot give
0:12:05 > 0:12:07you points, I'm sorry.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I can offer you a question, though.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10That may not be something you want
0:12:10 > 0:12:11but which would you like?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Let's try again with Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds, OK.

0:12:57 > 0:12:5920. Anything representing 20.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02So, Cluesmiths,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- do you want to have a go?- Is it the card game Vingt-et-un, for example?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Would be an acceptable answer,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09as would Adele's second album,
0:13:09 > 0:13:10which is what we went for.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Why is that?- 21. We think you're halving each time.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15That is absolutely right.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Do you know how many pips
0:13:16 > 0:13:18are in a standard domino set?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Erm...- You could work it out.- 96. - 168.- 168.- 168.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23And a Uranus year expressed
0:13:23 > 0:13:26in Earth years would be 84.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Answer to the ultimate question - 42 - so we are halving each time.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I mean, technically, the Uranus year
0:13:31 > 0:13:32is 84.02 years.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Obviously, I would have accepted
0:13:34 > 0:13:3615.129 but it is not the final,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38so, you know, rounding it to 21
0:13:38 > 0:13:41is an acceptable answer, well done.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43So, a bonus point to you, Cluesmiths,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44- and your choice.- Water, please.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Water. OK, what would come fourth in this sequence?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Here's the first.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52THEY MURMUR AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Next, please.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02What does pelagic mean, do you know?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Is it about geology?
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Erm, one more, please - next.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Three seconds.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28What are we going for?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Erm...- Dermo, dermo.- Dermopelagic?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Not it, I'm afraid,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36so a bonus opportunity again.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Arcopelagic?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38That's not it, either.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40It's the layers of the ocean
0:14:40 > 0:14:41and we are going up to the surface,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43you know, the first layers would be
0:14:43 > 0:14:45the Epipelagic...
0:14:45 > 0:14:46..would be the top layer,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48that is where Only Connect wizards
0:14:48 > 0:14:49go surfing.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I'm joking, they don't go surfing.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52But Epipelagic would be
0:14:52 > 0:14:53the right terminology.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55String Section, what can I offer you?
0:14:55 > 0:14:56The Twisted Flax, please.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00The Twisted Flax. OK, what would come fourth in this sequence?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Here is the first.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10THEY WHISPER AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Next, please.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Next, please.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32"In the beginning", 14?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I'm going to accept that answer.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38The sequence that we had planned
0:15:38 > 0:15:39was the shortest verses
0:15:39 > 0:15:41in the New Testament, getting shorter,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42and the shortest verse, of course -
0:15:42 > 0:15:44"Jesus wept" with 9 in brackets.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46But, if you created
0:15:46 > 0:15:48quotes from the Bible
0:15:48 > 0:15:50going downwards, I simply need
0:15:50 > 0:15:51some words from the Bible
0:15:51 > 0:15:53that's 14 letters.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54I mean, that is a sequence,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I simply am going to have to give you
0:15:56 > 0:15:57the points there, well done.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59OK, Cluesmiths, what would you like?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Eye of Horus, please. - The Eye of Horus.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03OK, these are going to be picture clues.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Here's the first.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12THEY MURMUR AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Next.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23THEY MURMUR AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Is it Cleves?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Everyone's warming up.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43You're going to get three points
0:16:43 > 0:16:44for coming in after two clues.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46It is a picture of the German town
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Kleve, or Cleves in English.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48What is the sequence?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It is Aragon...is the Spanish province there,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- and then Boleyn Road, the West Ham ground...- The Boleyn Ground, yes.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56The Boleyn Ground, rather.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Seymour Skinner.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And the next wife of Henry VIII,
0:16:59 > 0:17:00of course, Anne of Cleves,
0:17:00 > 0:17:01I wanted to hear -
0:17:01 > 0:17:04a depiction of Cleves. Well done.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07OK, String Section, one more question - the Horned Viper.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Ah, a music sequence,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11what a treat for everybody.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13OK, you're going to be hearing the clues.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I want to know what will come fourth. The first one is coming in now.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19# I'd like to be a busy busy bee
0:17:19 > 0:17:21# Being just as busy as a bee can be
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- # Flying all around the wild hedgerows...#- Next, please.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25# Je n'ai besoin de personne
0:17:25 > 0:17:28# En Harley Davidson
0:17:31 > 0:17:33# Je ne reconnais plus personne... #
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Next, please.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36# Come on baby
0:17:36 > 0:17:38# Let's do the twist
0:17:40 > 0:17:42# Come on baby
0:17:42 > 0:17:44# Let's do the twist
0:17:45 > 0:17:49# Take me by my little hand
0:17:49 > 0:17:50# And go like this.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55# Twist baby... #
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Two seconds.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Desmond Dekker. Anything by Desmond Dekker.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Would be an acceptable answer.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04What is the sequence?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Whoever the first two are, they are an AA and a BB.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- They're Arthur Askey and Brigitte Bardot.- Right.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11And then Chubby Checker.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12You recognised Chubby Checker
0:18:12 > 0:18:14so you know we're going through
0:18:14 > 0:18:16the alphabet, so we want DD - Desmond Dekker. The Israelites.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Did a cover of
0:18:17 > 0:18:19You Can Get It If You Really Want,
0:18:19 > 0:18:20originally by Jimmy Cliff.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Everyone know
0:18:21 > 0:18:23You Can Get It If You Really Want?
0:18:23 > 0:18:24I think it seems like a lovely
0:18:24 > 0:18:25anthem as we head to the final.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27One, two, three.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- ALL:- # You can get it
0:18:28 > 0:18:30# if you really want
0:18:30 > 0:18:33# You can get it if you really want
0:18:33 > 0:18:34# But you must try. #
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Exactly so. Well done, everybody.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39That means, at the end of Round Two,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41the String Section have five points,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43the Cluesmiths have six.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Time now for a nasty, 200-foot
0:18:48 > 0:18:51semifinal Connecting Wall.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53String Section, you get to go first this time,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55would you like Lion or Water?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Can we have the Lion Wall, please?- OK.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I mean, they're both horrible so it doesn't take much thought,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03you have two-and-a-half minutes to solve this Wall,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05starting now.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09That's an Ivy League college, isn't it?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- They're Ivy League schools, colleges.- Really? OK.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21THEY MURMUR AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Are these parts of the mouth?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Seems like it.- Yeah, mandible...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Or the face as a whole?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28OK, what have else have we got?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- They are places...- Arthur Wellesley,
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Duke of Wellington.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Crown and temple sound like...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Well, they're obviously both heads
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- crown and temple.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Oh... They are for your paint,
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- aren't they?- Oh, yeah.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41One, two, three and that one.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42BUZZ
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Maybe it is just stuff on your face
0:19:43 > 0:19:44or head?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46BUZZ
0:19:46 > 0:19:48OK, parts of the head.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49BUZZ
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- That includes mandible?- Yeah.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53OK, so we have too many of those.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56You can have a photo finish.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- You can have a...- Yeah.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00You can have a nose job.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02You can have a...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Oh, these are things you do
0:20:04 > 0:20:07to your teeth - a crown, a finish...
0:20:07 > 0:20:08You're halfway through the time.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13THEY TALK AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:20:17 > 0:20:18BUZZ
0:20:19 > 0:20:20BUZZ
0:20:25 > 0:20:26BUZZ
0:20:27 > 0:20:29BUZZ
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Three strikes, now.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33OK, we've taken out Temple,
0:20:33 > 0:20:34we've got...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36THEY TALK INDISTINCTLY
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Try one, two, three, four.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45BUZZ
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- One, two, three, four. - BUZZ
0:20:47 > 0:20:48No, don't press it yet.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50We've done that one.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Ten seconds.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Shall we just go for it?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- BOTH:- Yeah, go for it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Not it, I'm afraid
0:20:56 > 0:20:58so that is your three strikes. The Wall has frozen.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01What about the connections? The first blue group?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Are they Ivy League colleges? Women's colleges?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I'm afraid I have to take your first answer. They aren't Ivy League
0:21:07 > 0:21:10colleges. They are women's colleges known, in fact, as the Seven Sisters
0:21:10 > 0:21:15colleges, that is what they are, but Ivy League, they aren't, sorry.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Lamb, Temple, Primrose, Wellesley.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Not a great deal of confidence - Arthur.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23That is not it. Arthur Wellesley
0:21:23 > 0:21:24was the first Duke of Wellington.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26No, they are 19th century Prime Ministers
0:21:26 > 0:21:29but they are known by their aristocratic titles.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31William Lamb - Viscount Melbourne.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Henry Temple - who is that?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Liverpool?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It's Lord Palmerston, and then we've got Archibald Primrose,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39the Earl of Rosebery. The Duke of Wellington there, so Prime Ministers.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42You can still get points for the connections in the groups
0:21:42 > 0:21:45you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49There is the pink or purple group - Occiput, Crown, Scalp, Mandible.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Parts of the head.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53They are all parts of the head.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56And the last, light-blue group, starting Nose...
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Is it wine-tasting?- ...in wine-tasting, isn't it?
0:21:59 > 0:22:00They're all terms from wine-tasting.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Nose, Mid-palate, Chewy and Finish.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04So, two points for the groups that you found
0:22:04 > 0:22:07and two for the connections - that is a total of four.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Let's bring in the Cluesmiths now and give them another horrible
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Connecting Wall and see how far they get with solving it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It'll be the Water Wall for you, Cluesmiths.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18You have two-and-a-half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24THEY MURMUR AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:22:29 > 0:22:30It's got to be those two,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33got to be those two.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35OK, try Philips.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Hex.- Hex, yeah,
0:22:40 > 0:22:41BUZZ
0:22:46 > 0:22:48BUZZ
0:22:52 > 0:22:53BUZZ
0:22:53 > 0:22:55BUZZ
0:22:55 > 0:22:56BUZZ
0:23:00 > 0:23:03THEY MURMUR INDISTINCTLY
0:23:17 > 0:23:18You've got a minute left.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20BUZZ
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Could be that one.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Hang on, Saxon, Dane.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26BUZZ
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Saxon, Dane, Roman and erm...
0:23:32 > 0:23:33..Angle.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Three strikes, now.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Philips?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40What's the other group? Robertson,
0:23:40 > 0:23:41- ECM...- Pozidriv...
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Is ECM a screwdriver?
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Hex.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46That is definitely a screwdriver.
0:23:46 > 0:23:4830 seconds.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Hyperion...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Hyperion, Philips...- Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Decca...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01BUZZ
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Hyperion, Philips and Decca...
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- ..and Hex...- ECM, ECM.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11That's it, you've solved them all,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13with seconds in hand.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Right, what about the connections? The dark-blue group, starting Graham.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21They are TV evangelists - American.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22They are Televangelists, yes.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Jerry Falwell, my favourite.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27He didn't like the Teletubbies cos he thought Tinky Winky was gay.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29The green group, starting Naxos?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Anagrams of groups that have settled Britain, at different points.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Saxon, Angle, Roman, Dane.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38You saw a couple of them early, went away and came back at the end.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Invaders or settlers of the British Isles.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44And the dark-pink group, starting ECM?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I think they're computer or software companies?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50They are not, I'm afraid. You did very well to spot them.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Record companies?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54They are classical labels. Have to take the first answer, of course,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57so that's a no, but classical record labels.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00And the light-blue group, starting Slot.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02They are all screwdrivers.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Screwdrivers. They correspond with screw recesses.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06But you found all four groups
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and three points for the connections, that is a total of seven.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Let's have a look at the overall scores.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Missing Vowels, now, teams.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22That is how we will decide who makes the final.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25So, fingers on buzzers.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27The first group are all -
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- String Section.- Scouting For Girls.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Correct.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49- String Section.- Enya.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Not a number one in the 2010s,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I'm afraid. Cluesmiths, do you know?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56That is too long, it is Ne-Yo.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Next clue.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00- String Section.- Rihanna.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Correct.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Cluesmiths?- Okinawa.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Correct.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- String Section.- Hokkaido.
