0:00:24 > 0:00:28spin-off of Only Collect, the programme that gave meaning
0:00:28 > 0:00:31to the lives of obsessive hoarders everywhere.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Luckily, on this show, everyone is normal.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Let's meet the teams.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38On my right,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Jack Johannes Alexander, a maths student who has bowled
0:00:41 > 0:00:44a hat-trick in cricket and appeared in the video

0:00:56 > 0:00:59with an interest in online gaming who has been inadvertently
0:00:59 > 0:01:02dragged onstage during a Wheatus concert.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04United by a yearning for York,
0:01:04 > 0:01:05they are the Yorkers.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08You won your quarterfinal against the Operational Researchers.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10How have you been preparing for the semifinal?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12We had some team bonding sessions
0:01:12 > 0:01:14over Coldplay
0:01:14 > 0:01:16and the films of Alex Cox.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Dark and brooding films of Alex Cox.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Your opponents will be on my left.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Barbara Thompson, who was a reserve member for Redcar Intersports
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Bean Bag and Hoop team.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Matt Beatson, an IT consultant
0:01:30 > 0:01:33who has spent two full weeks freezing Breton seaweed
0:01:33 > 0:01:34using liquid nitrogen.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40an accountant who has a dog called Squirrel

0:01:45 > 0:01:46they are the Wayfarers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49You won your quarterfinal against the Bookworms.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51How do you feel about tonight's opposition?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Looks like something of a battle of the generations,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57but we are hoping the impetuousness of youth trips them up,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59although it clearly hasn't so far.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01It's going to be a semifinal, which means we notch up
0:02:01 > 0:02:05the difficulty a little bit since you were last here. Good luck.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Wayfarers, you won the toss,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10so you will be going first. Which hieroglyph would you like?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds. OK.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16What is the connection between these fiendish clues?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Here is the first.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25THEY CONFER IN WHISPERS
0:02:25 > 0:02:26- Let's move on.- Next, please.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Gold, mercury... - So it's things that go together.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Mercury, gold, platinum... No.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Next, please.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42A tower? Upsilon.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Oh, Epsilon...- Epsilon and Upsilon.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Yeah. Next, please.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Two countries. Somalia. You can get two others...
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Three seconds...- ..by changing...
0:02:56 > 0:02:58We think you can get...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00No, you can't get two others by changing one letter. No.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- You can get Samoa and Mali.- Oh.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I need an answer.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Tin is within platinum. Mali is within Somalia. And...
0:03:09 > 0:03:12You have spotted the question. I am going to give you the point.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Names within names, that's absolutely right.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Tin is within platinum, psi is within upsilon,
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Mali within Somalia
0:03:20 > 0:03:21and the two indicates
0:03:21 > 0:03:23that you are looking at two.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25So, two people had a number one
0:03:25 > 0:03:29in the UK, Manic Street Preachers and Cher, hidden within there.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31So that is absolutely right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Within the word you are seeing
0:03:33 > 0:03:36is the word for something else that can be described the same way.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Yorkers, what would you like?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Twisted Flax.- Twisted Flax.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42What is the connection between these picture clues?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Here is the first.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46- Sydney.- Next.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Is that two bobbies?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Next.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Belisha beacons. Are they named after Prime Ministers?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Robert Peel. Was Belisha a Prime Minister?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Next.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Is that an Anderson Shelter?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11They are named after people?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16THEY CONFER
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Yeah, go, then.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Are they named after their inventors or their founders?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm afraid they are not.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I can offer a possible point to the Wayfarers, if you can tell me.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32They are named after Cabinet members. Do you want a more...?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35They are named after members of the Cabinet. Absolutely right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37You said, "Is that two bobbies?"
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Bobbies or Peelers,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41both named after Robert Peel, who founded the police force.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Viscount Sydney
0:04:43 > 0:04:45gave his name to Sydney Harbour,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47but actually it went via Sydney Cove.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49He didn't invent the place Sydney.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Not invented by him. And Leslie Hore-Belisha,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54he was a Minister of Transport.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57And John Anderson and the air-raid shelter. But not all the inventors.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59All Cabinet ministers.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02OK, Wayfarers,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- which question would you like? - Eye of Horus, please.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What is the connection between these clues?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Here is the first.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Next, please.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Next, please.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25THEY CONFER
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Next, please.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Chiaroscuro, sfumato...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Oh, they are other names for arts terms?- Yes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40We think they are English translations
0:05:40 > 0:05:42of Italian art terms.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43They ARE translations
0:05:43 > 0:05:47of terms in Italian art. Do you want to be any more specific in this case?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49We think chiaroscuro is the light-dark
0:05:49 > 0:05:52and sfumato, is that like smoke?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- That is like smoke. Very good. Any others?- Changing. What's changing?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Or blending? No, we are not sure about them.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Cangiante. And blending would be Unione. In the Renaissance,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05these are painting modes. So, Italian arts terms. Well done.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Back to you, Yorkers,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- for a choice.- Lion.- Lion. OK.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11What is the connection between these clues?
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Here is the first.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Next.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Oh, it is Gold. - Could it be Gold, then God?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- I don't think that will be a sequence.- Godzilla.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Er...next.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Funk?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Got God and Funk.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Next.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Snoop?- Oh, yes, so it is.- Snoop.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Er, you put Snoop in all of these.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52In the battle of the generations, I thought this might go
0:06:52 > 0:06:55the way of your team. Snoop goes before all of them.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Not to presume. You might have known, over there.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Barbara - Snoop Lion?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I think Snoop Lion is the same as Snoop Dogg.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It was just another incarnation of him.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08They are all Snoop Dogg, but he is Snoop Lion when doing
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- his reggae work. You were about to say that, Barbara(!)- Yes!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13When he is doing reggae, Snoop Lion. Snoopzilla?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16When he was rampaging through downtown Tokyo.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17No!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19When he is making a funk album.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Snoopadelic for his club dates and, of course, Snoop Dogg,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26that is the handle that started his rap career.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29All incarnations of Snoop Dogg. Well done. Wayfarers,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- what would you like?- Water, please.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Water.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Ah, the music question.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36What connects these musical clues?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Here is the first.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43GENTLE JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Body Talk, is it, by Imagination? - Next, please.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53UP-TEMPO VIOLIN MUSIC PLAYS

0:07:56 > 0:07:58That's Winter, isn't it?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Next, please.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02GENTLE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Theme from A Summer Place. It must be seasons.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06We are going to try seasons.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08They all contain seasons.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10You'll need to be more specific.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Are they all summer?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Oh, they are all summer. They are all summer, are they?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16They are all summer.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18They are all seasons, but specifically, all summer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22You didn't need the last one - Summertime, Sidney Bechet. Well done.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Yorkers, there is one question left,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27the Horned Viper. What is the connection between these clues?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Here is the first.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Next.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Could be a cricket player?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Next.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Are they just...? Cos they have got south, north and east in...
0:08:46 > 0:08:52THEY CONFER
0:08:55 > 0:08:56What is the...?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00What is below each UK region? Oh, no, cos it is not all counties.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01- Next one.- Next.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Three seconds...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09They all have compass directions in?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Oh, no!- Now...- They are all...
0:09:13 > 0:09:16So, like, East Anglia is the east of Anglia,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18but there is no West Anglia.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And there is no North Africa, there is no East Virginia.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23That is what it is.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25They do not have directional counterparts.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29There is a South Africa. There is not a country called West Africa,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32East Africa, North Africa. They are places, but not a country.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35There is not a county called Easthamptonshire and so on.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38They do not have directional counterparts. Well done.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40At the end of Round One,
0:09:40 > 0:09:41the Yorkers have 2 points,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43the Wayfarers have 5.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Sequences now. Having shown you
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Round One questions that looked like a sequence, now they really are.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54What comes fourth is what I want to know. Wayfarers,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- you can go first again. What would you like?- Oh, Twisted Flax, please.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Twisted Flax. What would be fourth in this sequence? Here is the first.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Fourth declension - audio.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Shall we try the third?- OK.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Next, please.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yes, so it's the first one. Amo, is it?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Conjugations.- First amo, is it first declension? No?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Conjugation.- Conjugation.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- But what is a first declension one? Amo?- Yes.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24We think 1st: Amo.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25"First - for example, amo,"
0:10:25 > 0:10:28is exactly what we had ourselves, and why?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32They are the first, second, third and fourth conjugations of verbs.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Yes, well corrected, Barbara.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Conjugations rather than declensions in Latin. Latin verb conjugations.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Fourth, third and second and the example for the first conjugation
0:10:41 > 0:10:44verb, amo, amas, amat, is the one most people know.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Back to you, Yorkers, for a choice.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Horned Viper.- The Horned Viper.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50OK, what would come fourth in this sequence?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Here's the first.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Next.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00THEY CONFER
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Er, next.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10THEY CONFER
0:11:11 > 0:11:137/7?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16THEY CONFER
0:11:16 > 0:11:17I can't remember.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21It could be 7/7, actually.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23THEY CONFER
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Try it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Er, the July 7th bombings?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So Wayfarers have a chance of an extra point.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36No, we're not going to get there, are we?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Now, Yorkers, I feel like you're in the right area
0:11:39 > 0:11:41but you didn't give me an acceptable example.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44The Battle Of The Golden Spurs happened on 11th July 1302.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Orangemen's Day,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48the Ulster Protestant celebration, takes place on 12th July.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Live Aid was 13th July, 1985,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54so something that happened on 14th July, for example,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56birthday of the comedian David Mitchell,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59that's what most people would say, but I see the question writer
0:11:59 > 0:12:02has gone for the Storming Of The Bastille. 14th July was the key date.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Unlucky. So, you don't get the bonus, Wayfarers,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07but you do get a choice. What would you like?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I'll try Lion, please.- Lion, OK.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13What will be the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Any ideas?- No.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Next, please.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Next, please.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Any idea?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34One and a half.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39What used to be called 1:0 and now is called 0:1?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41One and a half.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45What's two and a half if part of the sequence?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- What are you saying?- I think...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Pass.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Three seconds.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Any idea?- No.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Something was two and half.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Not a chance for a chat, what's your answer?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58OK 1:0 was... No, 0:1...no.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00No, no, no.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Yorkers, do you know this?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- 2:1 was- 3. 2:1 was 3.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08It was not.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Now, this is one where I would have thought the generational
0:13:11 > 0:13:14advantage might go to your team. These are the old football pools.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18It's the traditional classic scoring method for the pools.
0:13:18 > 0:13:201-0, you got one point, 0-1, one and a half.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Now you only get one point for an away win
0:13:23 > 0:13:24but that's what it used to be.
0:13:24 > 0:13:280-0, no score draw was two, so some examples of a score draw was three.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Yorkers, what would you like?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Eye Of Horus. - The Eye Of Horus. OK.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35What would come forth in this picture sequence?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Some flies.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Four Flies On Grey Velvet.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Er, next.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- What's that?- Oh, no. Oh.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Er, next.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59THEY CONFER
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Is that, like, meant to be grey velvet or something like that?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Cos it could be Four Flies On Grey Velvet - it's a film.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Then, like, I don't know...
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Something flying over a cuckoo's nest and a picture of a one?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Any idea what that might be?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- No, I can't think.- Three seconds.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Something flying over a cuckoo's nest and a little one in the corner.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23And why would that be?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Well, I thought the first one might be Four Flies On Grey Velvet,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- which is a film.- Oh, I see. No!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30No, it doesn't work as a sequence, I'm afraid.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32So, Wayfarers, a chance for a bonus point.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34We're going to go for a river of blood and one.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39One and blood is the correct answer and why is that?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42They are the first four of the ten plagues of Egypt in the Bible.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45We are talking about the trials of Egypt, the plagues that were sent.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46The fourth was flies,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49although in some translations of the Torah I think wild animals.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Three, lice. Two, frogs.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53First plague was blood.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55So, Wayfarers, you get the bonus point
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and a final choice this round.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02A music sequence, what a treat!
0:15:02 > 0:15:06What would you expect to see fourth? Or rather hear fourth.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08The time starts now.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Well, it is rather good to be here
0:15:10 > 0:15:12when Don Bradman comes in to bat his last test.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Now here's Hollies to bowl to him from the Vauxhall end.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Next, please.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19# And the only time that you are satisfied
0:15:19 > 0:15:23# Is with your feet in the wishing well. #
0:15:23 > 0:15:25OK, next.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Next, please.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32WOMAN SINGS CLASSICALLY IN GAELIC
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Any idea at all?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Wishing Well. I don't know what this is.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Three seconds.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Go on, press.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50- Any ideas? I haven't. - None whatsoever.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Have you?- Nothing at all. - Nothing at all.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55OK, Yorkers, you going to have a go for a bonus point?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Um, some kind of homophone for one.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh, no, but why do you say that?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Well, the second one is by Free.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- The second one is by Free. - Free, two, one.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Well, yes, it is, so free, which sounds a bit like three...- Yes.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, so what do you think the other ones are?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I can't remember, is it John Arlott commentating on Don Bradman
0:16:18 > 0:16:22coming into bat in his final innings when he needed four runs?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Unfortunately for you the third clue was the 23rd Psalm,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29not two at all. Again rather brilliant but not right.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34So, John Arlott's cricket commentary was selected by John Major
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- when he went on Desert Island Discs. - Oh!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Wishing Well was selected by Tony Blair.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42The 23rd Psalm in Gaelic by Gordon Brown.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46So we wanted to hear something that was chosen by David Cameron
0:16:46 > 0:16:49when he went on Desert Island Discs. Can you think of an example now?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Didn't he choose Ernie, The Fastest Milkman In The West?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54He did choose Ernie, The Fastest Milkman In The West.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57He chose something by The Smiths as well, but then Johnny Marr
0:16:57 > 0:17:01said publicly, "You're not allowed to like The Smiths, I forbid you."
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Ernie, The Fastest Milkman In The West,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06that was the talked-about choice. Anyone know how that goes?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09"You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground
0:17:09 > 0:17:12"and the clatter of the wheels as they spun round and round.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15"He galloped into Market Street, his badge across his chest.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19"His name was Ernie and he drove the fastest milk cart in the West."
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Gerard, you are a phenomenon. That is absolutely right.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29But nobody gets the points, unfortunately. Despite a lovely
0:17:29 > 0:17:33performance from you and a very clever idea from you, no points.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35You do get the last question, though, Water.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38What would come forth in this sequence? Here is the first.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Never, it's repeated five times in King Lear.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Er, next.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Techno, Techno, Techno.- Yes.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Liar, Liar, Castaways.- Yes.- OK.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- Liar, Castaways.- Liar, Castaways.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00For what reason?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03It's things repeated five, four and three and two times,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05so, Liar, Liar by The Castaways.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Exactly so.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08We went with, "Infamy, infamy.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10"They've all got it in for me."
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Yes, "Never, never,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13"never, never, never."
0:18:13 > 0:18:14That's from Lear. "Techno, techno,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16"techno," 2 Unlimited. "Education,
0:18:16 > 0:18:17"education, education," Blair.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Things repeated five, four and three times.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Want to hear something repeated twice? Very well done.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25That means at the end of Round Two,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27the Yorkers have 5 points,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29the Wayfarers have 9.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Let's up the ante now with a Connecting Wall and, Yorkers,
0:18:34 > 0:18:35it'll be your turn to go first this time.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37So, would you like Lion or Water?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Water.- OK, you have two and a half minutes
0:18:40 > 0:18:43to solve the Water wall, starting now.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Erm, sea battles.- Midway, er...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Squares - Tiananmen, Times, Red...
0:18:53 > 0:18:55BUZZ
0:18:56 > 0:18:58There's... Supermarket food...
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Clothes...labels.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Esmara?- Could be.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Three strikes, of course. Plenty of time.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Tiananmen, Wenceslas, Times Square. - Did you try that earlier?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Yeah, I tried that already.- Right.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Operating, Syntagma...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Syntagma could be a square, I suppose.- Operating system?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19River...
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Justice league, human league...
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Human Times is not a thing, is it?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I reckon Syntagma could be the other square of that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40No, because we have no idea for the other ones.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41What would that make the other ones?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Water...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46They don't seem like they go... Oh, no, sorry.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Yeah, it probably will be right. - Water league, operating, erm...
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Is there something in them?
0:19:55 > 0:19:56No.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Like genres of music?
0:19:58 > 0:19:59No.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Syntagma... Shall we try that?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Syntagma, Times...
0:20:07 > 0:20:08BUZZ
0:20:08 > 0:20:10You've got a minute left and two goes.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Take Times out.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16That's it, you've solved the wall. Very well done.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19So that's four points for the groups. What about the connections?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21The top blue group starting Lepanto.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22They're all naval battles.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24They're all naval battles.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26And the green group starting Esmara?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29They're supermarket clothes lines.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Supermarket clothing brands is right.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34And the next pink or purple group starting Syntagma?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36They're all squares.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Yes, they are. Syntagma Square, as you know, is in Athens.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40All squares around the world.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44And the last light-blue group, League, Water, Times, Operating?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Er, tables.- I can't give you long.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49You can follow them all with table.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51You found that at the last minute. Well done.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53So four more points for the connections.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I will give you a bonus two points for getting it all right.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57That's the maximum of ten.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Let's bring back the Wayfarers now, give them the other Connecting Wall,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03the Lion wall, and see what they can do about solving it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07You have two and a half minutes, of course. Starting now.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Dante, Millennium...
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Is there a Vasco da Gama bridge? - Oh, bridge.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18There is a Charles Bridge, as well.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Golden Gate Bridge.- Humber Bridge.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21BUZZ
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Tower Bridge. - There's lots of bridges.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Vauxhall...
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Triumph...
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Volkswagen... Was there Singer at one time?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Humber? That's a...
0:21:33 > 0:21:34BUZZ
0:21:34 > 0:21:38We've got brands of car. Wolseley, Triumph and Humber...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Singer? Yes.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44So...
0:21:44 > 0:21:50- That's a palindrome. Are there any others?- No.- No, there aren't.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52We've got pool, an anagram of...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Let's try and get these bridges out the way.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55So you've got Millennium...
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Tower...
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Golden Gate... - BUZZ
0:22:00 > 0:22:03It's definitely bridges.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Charles Bridge...
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Millennium...
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Charles, Tower...

0:22:22 > 0:22:23BUZZ
0:22:23 > 0:22:25What about The Divine Comedy?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Yeah, what's The Divine Comedy got to do with anything else?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- The group or...- Oh, Divine Comedy...
0:22:31 > 0:22:35I don't see anything else. No.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You've got a minute left.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Tower or tow-er?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52BUZZ
0:22:54 > 0:22:55BUZZ
0:22:57 > 0:22:58BUZZ
0:23:00 > 0:23:01BUZZ
0:23:01 > 0:23:04It's going to come back and haunt us now. Buffalo Bill...
0:23:07 > 0:23:10What's the Great Belt? It's part of Orion's... Apart from that...
0:23:10 > 0:23:16- Great Belt...- Great Belt, Golden Gate, The Divine Comedy...
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- BUZZ - No.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I can't even think what MaddAddam was a part of.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Vasco da Gama, MaddAddam...
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Sprawl...
0:23:27 > 0:23:29BUZZ Ten seconds.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Polo mint, Millennium mint, Great Belt mint, Table mint...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39No, that's it, the time's up and the wall has frozen,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42but you've found a group. I'll give you another point for the connection.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Humber, Singer, Wolseley, Triumph.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46They're all makes of...
0:23:46 > 0:23:49They're all former UK brands of car manufacturers.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Former British car marques. That's exactly what they are.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53And I will give you points
0:23:53 > 0:23:55for the connections in the groups you didn't find,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57so let's resolve the wall.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58That's what it should've looked like.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Millennium, MaddAddam, Sprawl, The Divine Comedy.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Literary sequences of three. Literary trilogies.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- They are literary trilogies.- Good!
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I didn't think you knew that at all
0:24:09 > 0:24:11and then you somehow stumbled into it. They absolutely are.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14The Divine Comedy, the Dante. The Millennium trilogy,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17that's the Stieg Larsson. MaddAddam, do you know what that is?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I don't know what the middle two are at all, so...
0:24:19 > 0:24:23It's Margaret Atwood and Sprawl is William Gibson - Neuromancer,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27All literary trilogies.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29And the pink, or purple, group -
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Charles, Vasco da Gama, Golden Gate, Great Belt?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- They'll all bridges.- They're the bridges. Yes, it's horrible.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37There's a lot of bridges on that wall.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Those are the four you wanted.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43And the last light-blue group - Buffalo, Table, Polo, Tower.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Can all be preceded by water. - Yes, they can.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49That is the word one. Water buffalo, water table, water polo, water tower.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52You only found one group, but four full points for the connections.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56That's a total of five. Let's have a look at the scores.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01The Wayfarers have 14 points, the Yorkers have 15 points.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06So, that last place in the final will be decided by the Missing Vowels
0:25:06 > 0:25:11round. You know how it works. Fingers on buzzers, teams.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13The first group are all...
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Wayfarers.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- King Juan Carlos of Spain.- Correct.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Yorkers.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. - Correct.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Wayfarers.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- King Zog of Albania.- Correct.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Yorkers.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Prince Rainier of Monaco. - Yes, it is.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Next category...
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Yorkers.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Crispin and cobblers.- Correct.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Wayfarers.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Luke and doctors.- Correct.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Francis of Assisi and animal welfare.- Correct.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Wayfarers.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Valentine and... Sorry, no.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12No, that's not right. Yorkers, do you know?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Oh...- Too long.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It's Valentine and beekeeping.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Next category...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Wayfarers.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- "When shall we three meet again?" - Correct.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Wayfarers.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- "If music be the food of love, play on."- Correct.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Yorkers.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- "Now is the winter of our discontent."- Correct.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Wayfarers. BELL
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You didn't complete your answer before the bell went off,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52so I can't take it, but you won't lose a point.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55It would have been, "Two households both alike in dignity,"
0:26:55 > 0:26:57from Romeo and Juliet,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01but the quiz is over and looking at the final scores,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04the Yorkers have 19 points,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07the Wayfarers have 19 points!
0:27:07 > 0:27:08They aren't the final scores!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10We've got a tie-break again!
0:27:10 > 0:27:12We had this in the last semifinal.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It's very tense.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Let me remind you, teams, in a tie-break situation,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20it's captains only. Only the captains may buzz and respond.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21If you buzz in with the right answer,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23you win, you're through to the final.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26If you buzz in with the wrong answer, you're out,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30the other team wins by default. So carefully now, captains.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Fingers on buzzers. I won't tell you the category.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Here's the clue...
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Wayfarers.- Photo finish.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Is the right answer!
0:27:49 > 0:27:51And in that photo finish, Gerard,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54you take your team through to the final.
