0:00:21 > 0:00:25Hello and welcome to Only Connect, the grand final.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30Every TV series ends, not every series has a grand final.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Gardener's World, for example, doesn't have a last climatic battle
0:00:33 > 0:00:35with the very toughest weeds,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37but we do.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This is going to be quite the stand-off.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Coming up later, we've got a couple of granite-hard Connecting Walls
0:00:43 > 0:00:47to test the razor-sharp drills of our relentlessly boring teams.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50That's boring in the sense of rock, not in the sense of...
0:00:50 > 0:00:52You know, like a boring tool. A boring tool!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Anyway, let's meet the tools...the teams!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58On my right... Tessa North -
0:00:58 > 0:01:01a museum volunteer who spent her recent birthday in a recreated
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Anglo-Saxon village
0:01:03 > 0:01:07and has been in close proximity to a least five Time Lords.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Pete Sorel-Cameron -
0:01:08 > 0:01:11an actor and musician who has played the part
0:01:11 > 0:01:13of Rufus Wainwright's head, from the back.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16And their captain - Richard Aubrey -
0:01:16 > 0:01:17a church choir leader
0:01:17 > 0:01:19and secondary school teacher who got stuck
0:01:19 > 0:01:22on top of Cape Town's most famous landmark
0:01:22 > 0:01:25and had to be retrieved by the local mountain rescue.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27United by an appetite for the orchestral,
0:01:27 > 0:01:28they are the String Section.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30One of the String Sections, I should perhaps say.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33You have beaten the Headliners, the Wayfarers,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36the Scientists and the Cluesmiths to reach the final.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39How confident are you feeling of ultimate victory?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42With the calibre of some of the teams you have just named,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45we're just impressed to be here.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47You have done incredibly well to be here. Very well done.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Can you get further? The people trying to stop you tonight are,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53on my left...
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Barbara Thompson - a retired NHS secretary
0:01:56 > 0:02:00and fan of black-and-white cinema who hopes to one day realise her
0:02:00 > 0:02:03ambition of seeing the lost classic Britannia of Billingsgate.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Matt Beatson -
0:02:05 > 0:02:07an IT consultant who mistakenly thought
0:02:07 > 0:02:11he had broken his arm when he was run over by a push bike in Nevada.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13And their captain, Gerard Mackay -
0:02:13 > 0:02:16a maths graduate who has been attacked by a goat and has on three
0:02:16 > 0:02:20occasions unexpectedly encountered a member of the Royal Family.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22United by a soft spot for strolling,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24they are the Wayfarers.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Gerard, you beat the Bookworms.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Then you lost to the String Section, who are here again tonight.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Then you beat the Builders, beat the Bookworms again
0:02:31 > 0:02:33and won your semifinal against the Yorkers.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36What do you think about facing the String Section for the second time?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39In the words of Vinnie Jones, it's been emotional.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42And I shall be sorry to see either team lose.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44You won the toss, so you will be going first.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Please choose the first Egyptian hieroglyph of the final.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Twisted Flax, please.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52MUSICAL NOTE The Twisted Flax. Ah!
0:02:52 > 0:02:53The music question.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56What is the connection between the clues you're going to hear?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Here is the first.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02# When I am laid... #
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Do you know what that is?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- SHE WHISPERS - Oh, it is, isn't it?
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Next, please.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OPERATIC SINGING
0:03:10 > 0:03:13They're all queens. It was Queen Dido...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Shall we say next?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17We think they are all songs of queens.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19There are all queens involved.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20You are correct.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22They are all sung by queens.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23What did we hear?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- What was the first one? - Dido's Lament.- Dido's Lament.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28That's it, from Purcell's Dido's And Aeneas. You didn't need
0:03:28 > 0:03:30to hear Let It Go from Frozen.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Right.- By Elsa the Snow Queen.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35And then we would have had something from Camelot, Queen Guinevere.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Very well gambled after two clues.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Three points to you.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39OK, String Section,
0:03:39 > 0:03:40what would you like?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Two Reeds.- Two Reeds. OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46What is the connection between these clues?
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Here's the first.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Tiberian.- Yeah, OK.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55OK. Next, please.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- It's...- Sorry, what's that?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- SHE WHISPERS - OK, well...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07They're all different, aren't they?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Do we take one more?- Yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11OK, we'll take next, please.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Do you know that?- Right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19THEY WHISPER
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It's Liberian, so it's "erian".
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- OK...- Yeah.- They all end in "erian".
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'm minded to give that to you.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I'd love to hear a little bit more.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Well, it's Liberian girl on Bad.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34They end in "iberain".
0:04:34 > 0:04:35- Sorry.- They end in "iberian".
0:04:35 > 0:04:37They do end on "erian",
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I'll give it to you, but it's even more.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40What do you think the first clue is?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41That's Tiberian.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43And the next one, Iberain -
0:04:43 > 0:04:44the ancient Georgian kingdom.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Liberian is the girl on Bad. And the last clue...- Siberian.- Siberian.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Very well done.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Back to you, Wayfarers, for a choice.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Could we have the Lion, please?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57The Lion. OK, what is the connection between these clues?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Here's the first.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06THEY WHISPER
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Next, please.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20THEY WHISPER
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I don't know this one, do you?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Keeps dying from...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Yeah... Oh, it could be. Next, please.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Oh, they're deaths of Bond villains.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34No, no, no. It's...
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Three seconds.- Press the button!
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- It's actually Sean Bean. - Oh, deaths of Sean Bean.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43They are deaths of Sean Bean
0:05:43 > 0:05:44in various films.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Good save from you there, Matt. Not all Bond villains.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48He's torn apart by horses
0:05:48 > 0:05:50in Black Death, which is
0:05:50 > 0:05:52a horror film set against the
0:05:52 > 0:05:54backdrop of the 14th-century plague.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Skewered by a grappling hook,
0:05:56 > 0:05:57do you know over there?
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Patriot Games.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00No, it's The Island, a 2005 movie
0:06:00 > 0:06:03about an escape from dystopia.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Who can tell me how Sean Bean dies
0:06:05 > 0:06:06in Don't Say A Word?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Beaten to death with a shovel. - Is he buried alive?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10He's buried alive
0:06:10 > 0:06:11by an excavation machine.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13He really has been very unlucky.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15He should be more careful. The Field?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Eaten by cows?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Driven off a cliff
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- by stampeding cows... ALL:- Oooh!
0:06:20 > 0:06:21..would be the perfect answer there.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24But, yes, all unfortunate ends
0:06:24 > 0:06:25for Sean Bean in various roles.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27String Section, what would you like?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Let's try the Eye of Horus, please. - The Eye of Horus.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37THEY WHISPER
0:06:40 > 0:06:42No. Next, please.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44THEY WHISPER
0:06:47 > 0:06:49What do you think?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I don't think it's going to be a ride.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- THEY WHISPER - Next, please.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01THEY WHISPER
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Last one, please.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08THEY WHISPER
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- We do not see this at all. - Three seconds.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14No, that's it. The time's up.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Wayfarers, do you want to have a go
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- for a bonus point? - Panthalassa was the big sea.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Big sea, yeah. Paleo-Tethys.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22They're all seas that don't exist any more now.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23That's exactly right -
0:07:23 > 0:07:25seas or oceans that no longer exist.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Can you tell me about the areas where they were?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well, Panthalassa was all the seas joined together to make one
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- big one, I take it.- Quite.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34And the first one... Well,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36we just had a Siberian question,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38so it's another one between Baltica and Siberia.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Slide Mountain separated
0:07:39 > 0:07:40North America
0:07:40 > 0:07:42from some volcanic islands.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Paleo-Tethys separated what's now Central Europe and China.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Well done. You get a bonus point.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Which question would you like?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Water, please.- Water.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54These are going to be picture clues.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56What connects them? Here's the first.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Miley Cyrus, is it?- Yeah.- Who's the one on the right?- Don't know.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Next, please.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Marilyn Monroe...
0:08:05 > 0:08:08And...
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Jen Aniston?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Next, please.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Winston Churchill...- Churchill, OK. - Are they tattoos, are they?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Cos he had a tattoo on his... Should we try?- Yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22We think they're tattoos,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25things on the right are tattooed on the people on the left.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26You are absolutely right, they're
0:08:26 > 0:08:29tattoos on the people on the left. You didn't need to see
0:08:29 > 0:08:31David Dimbleby and a scorpion. THEY LAUGH
0:08:31 > 0:08:34He's got that on him. So what are we looking at?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36The trouble is, I know Miley Cyrus,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38but I don't know who that is on the right of her.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- It's her grandma.- Oh!
0:08:40 > 0:08:41What more touching tribute
0:08:41 > 0:08:43to a grandma than to have her full
0:08:43 > 0:08:45face tattooed onto your skin(?)
0:08:45 > 0:08:47In 2012, Megan Fox had a tattoo of
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Marilyn Monroe removed from her arm.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50I don't know,
0:08:50 > 0:08:51I suppose they fell out.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Winston Churchill had an anchor.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55And David Dimbleby, you didn't need to see.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56String Section, there is
0:08:56 > 0:08:58one question left - the Horned Viper,
0:08:58 > 0:08:59that's for you.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01What is the connection between these clues?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Here's the first.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07THEY WHISPER
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Next, please.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Hombay...
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Hombay...- Bombay, Pompeii...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Does it rhyme with...?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21THEY WHISPER
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Next, please.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28It's the ends of... So it's the ends...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32No, egantic...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Next.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39THEY WHISPER
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Three seconds.- What?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Well, it's something that if you replace a certain...
0:09:45 > 0:09:46I need an answer.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Like B-something, replacing...
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Replacing B-R.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Not it, I'm afraid.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54So a bonus chance for the Wayfarers.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Any idea? A replacement would go on there, looks like.- It's...
0:09:58 > 0:09:59No, that's too long,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01you don't know either.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02You're in the right area.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04We have fiddled about with
0:10:04 > 0:10:06what they call portmanteaux words.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10So you know, for example, the word smog made from smoke and fog.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12If you broke it the other way, you'd get foke.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Bombay and Hollywood,
0:10:13 > 0:10:14you make Bollywood.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16But if you took the H and the rest
0:10:16 > 0:10:18of the word, you get Hombay. THEY LAUGH
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Gigantic and enormous together make ginormous.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Or split it differently, you get egantic.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25And of course, breakfast and lunch make brunch.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27But if you take the L
0:10:27 > 0:10:29rather than the B-R, leakfast.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30At the end of Round One...
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Yes, the sting played
0:10:38 > 0:10:40by a live quartet, as usual.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Wayfarers, you'll be going
0:10:41 > 0:10:43first again for Round Two,
0:10:43 > 0:10:44the sequences round.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Which hieroglyph would you like?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Eye of Horus, please. - The Eye of Horus.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51These are going to be picture clues.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52They will come in a sequence.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00That's Marlene Dietrich.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Next, please.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- That's Joe DiMaggio. - It's that Madonna... Vogue.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Dietrich and DiMaggio...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Marlon Brando, Fred Astaire?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Shall we try Fred Astaire? - Go for it.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16We're going to try Fred Astaire.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Not the answer, I'm afraid. I'll show the third in the sequence
0:11:19 > 0:11:21to the String Section for a possible bonus point.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Jimmy Dean. James Dean.- James Dean.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26The answer is James Dean.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yes. Now, I think you recognised it,
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Matt, very quickly.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31What is the sequence?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34It is the sequence of the spoken lines that Madonna
0:11:34 > 0:11:36says in the song Vogue.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38That's it. "Dietrich and DiMaggio,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41"Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean, on the cover of a magazine."
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Well done for the bonus point.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Which question would you like
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- for yourselves?- Two Reeds once again, please.- Two Reeds, OK.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56THEY WHISPER
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Next, please.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Lazy...
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Oh.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Scores in something or other?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10THEY WHISPER
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Next, please.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Wow. - SHE LAUGHS
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Um...
0:12:19 > 0:12:22THEY WHISPER
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Do you have any clues AT ALL?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Three seconds.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31One - old.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Not a sequence that I can think of,
0:12:33 > 0:12:34I'm afraid. So, Wayfarers,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36you have a chance for a bonus point.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I'd say two - the sun.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I mean, that's incredibly impressive.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43The answer is two - the sun. Very well done.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45What are we looking at?
0:12:45 > 0:12:51Well, hidden is the derivation of krypton, which is element 36.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Krypton comes from the Greek kryptos,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55meaning hidden.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Lazy is argos in Greek, so gives us argon, element 18.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01New is neon, element ten.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04And helium is from the sun, that's element number two.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07They are all the noble gases working backwards.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09That is what is amazing about
0:13:09 > 0:13:11this question - so much is going on.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Very well done, you get the bonus point.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I will punish you, though,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17by giving you a question of your own.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Which would you like?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'm going to try Horned or Horn-ed Viper, according to taste.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25OK, the Horned Viper. What would come fourth in this sequence?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Here's the first.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34No. Next, please.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Next, please.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47HE WHISPERS
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Let's see, little words...
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Just like abbreviations for words?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Not that I can think of.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Let's press the button.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Three seconds.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Do you want to have a guess?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10No, I can't see this at all.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11No point? OK, String Section,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13do you want to have a go
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- for a bonus point?- EGE. - Is the right answer!
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Wow, you all are being very impressive this evening.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I thought nobody would get that.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Why is it EGE? - Anne, George I, George II.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23George III, George IV, William IV.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Victoria, Edward VII, George V.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Edward VIII, George VI, Elizabeth II.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30You're absolutely right.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32They're little threesomes of
0:14:32 > 0:14:33British monarchs going forwards,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and the next three would be Edward,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38George, Elizabeth, known by EGE.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Very well spotted.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42But you get your comeuppance as well
0:14:42 > 0:14:44with your own question. Which one?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- The Twisted Flax, please. - Twisted Flax.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54THEY WHISPER
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Yeah, it could... Oh, yeah. Uniform? Next, please.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09THEY WHISPER
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Next, please.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18You're right, it is. It's...
0:15:18 > 0:15:19I think it could...
0:15:19 > 0:15:22SHE WHISPERS
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Three seconds.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Oooph! Hit the button.
0:15:31 > 0:15:341d equals...
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- ..1d.- Is the right answer!- Yes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And why would that be?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42It's the equivalent units on Mars, isn't it? Earth to Mars?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Oh, no, it's not so complicated.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Do you know what it is over there? - Well, yeah.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51It's expressing in decimal the number of ones there are in a day.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52That's exactly right. It's the
0:15:52 > 0:15:5324-hour clock in decimal time.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54In decimal time, there are
0:15:54 > 0:15:56100 seconds in a minute,
0:15:56 > 0:15:57100 minutes in an hour
0:15:57 > 0:15:58and ten hours in a day.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00So, you know, one second
0:16:00 > 0:16:02becomes 0.864 seconds.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04So not quite what the sequence was,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06but you gave me the right answer, so well done.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Back to you, Wayfarers, for a choice.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Water, please.- Water.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Fourth, fishmongers?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- SHE MUTTERS - Is it...?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, we could try it. Next, please.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25HE MUTTERS
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- I don't know. I think Goldsmiths. - It's a good try.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32Should we try it now? Cos we won't know from the third, will we?
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Trying - first, Goldsmiths.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I'll show the third in the sequence
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- to the String Section for a possible bonus point.- First...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Cordwainers.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Not it. The answer is -
0:16:44 > 0:16:45first, Mercers.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- What's the sequence? - It's livery companies.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50The order they were formed, is it?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well, no, it's not chronological.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- It's in order of precedence...- Ah!
0:16:54 > 0:16:56..that was set down by a group
0:16:56 > 0:16:58of aldermen in the 16th century.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00And they...they abide by it today.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01In that order of precedence,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03agreed by the livery companies
0:17:03 > 0:17:06themselves, Mercers would be the most powerful.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08So no points there,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10but one more question - the Lion.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12That'll be for you, String Section.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15MUSICAL NOTE Well, well, it's a music sequence,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18so I want to know what you'd expect to hear as the fourth clue.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Here's the first.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS
0:17:30 > 0:17:32It's a hymn.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Next, please.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS
0:17:38 > 0:17:41THEY WHISPER
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There's No Place Like Home, do you think?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46There's No Place Like Home. Next, please.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- HE WHISPERS - There's no place like home.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54See The Conquering Hero Comes
0:17:54 > 0:17:55is the original.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Three seconds.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Sorry?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Forever And Ever, Amen.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Forever And Ever, Amen.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Wayfarers, chance of a bonus point.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Rule Britannia.- Is the right answer.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- And why is that?- It's the...
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Fantasia On Sea shanties or...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17On British Sea Songs, by Sir Henry Wood.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Next would be Rule Britannia.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20I think I would normally ask you
0:18:20 > 0:18:22if you could sing it, but we can
0:18:22 > 0:18:23perhaps do better than that.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Perhaps they can have a go. Let's hear a bit of Rule Britannia.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30THEY PLAY Rule Britannia
0:18:42 > 0:18:44At the end of Round Two...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48The guest string section have two points.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57And we move on to our final pair of Connecting Walls for the series.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59The first one will go to you, String Section.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00You'll be going first.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Which would you like, Lion or Water?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Let's have the Water this time, please, Victoria.- OK.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10You have 2.5 minutes to solve the Water Wall, starting now.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14OK, well...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16THEY WHISPER
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- We have the alphabets. - And that would be niet, no.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Yes, niet, nein...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Maybe nej and nao.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26OK. That was easy.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Alphabets...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- That's going to be the end of a word.- Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Same with...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- For charities would be... - Ends of charities in general?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43THEY WHISPER
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Yes. But it looks like... - That looks like an end as well.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48We'll do it that way.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- BUZZ - That could be an end.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Maybe just very quickly... - BUZZ
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Do you want to do...? Or do should we do that one?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- BUZZ - Let's just...- No.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- BUZZ - I don't think this is going to be it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01No, but we'll be out of tries if you do find the right one.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04HE WHISPERS
0:20:04 > 0:20:06On the nose.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Can you have on the nine, maybe?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- I haven't heard of it.- No, I don't know. On the nerve, maybe?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- We can get on...- On a nerve.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- On the nose...- Nettle, nines...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- BUZZ - Nope.- Yeah, maybe.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I don't recognise that at all.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Neither do I.- You've got a minute.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I'd get rid of that. I'd go nerve, nape, nose, nine and see.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27BUZZ THEY WHISPER
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Nipa... Is that, like, the end of something or is that...?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32That's pain.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34OK...
0:20:35 > 0:20:37What could be in...?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Well, if it is the end of stuff, it would be that one.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Pain...
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- They seem a bit vague, though, don't they?- They do.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48BUZZ THEY WHISPER
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- They look like...- 20 seconds.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Yeah. But we'll leave it, though.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Let's do this one.- No.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Good grief!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05HE SIGHS
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Touch. You can touch a nerve. - Five seconds.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Touch a nerve.- No, that's it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14You're out of time and the Wall is frozen.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17But you found a group, no mean feat on this Wall.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'll give you a point if you can tell me the connections,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22starting ni-et or ne-et or ni-te.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24No, in a variety of languages.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26No, in a range of languages, that's right.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29And of course, you can get points for the connections in the groups
0:21:29 > 0:21:31you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33There you go, that's how it should've looked.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35What about that green group?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36- Oh!- It's the ends of...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Is it...? Are they in Much Ado About Nothing?
0:21:39 > 0:21:40But say Shakespeare.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Yes, cos... Ends of Shakespearean characters.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48They are the ends of Shakespearean characters, very well done.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I'd love you to tell me something else if you can.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51They all begin Leo.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53If you put Leo at the start of all of them -
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Leonato, Leonardo, Leontes, Leonine -
0:21:56 > 0:21:58all end up in Shakespearean characters. Very well spotted.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I didn't think you saw that at all during.- No!- No!
0:22:01 > 0:22:02And what about the pink
0:22:02 > 0:22:03or purple group?
0:22:04 > 0:22:09You can get on someone's each of these, or touch on them.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I don't think you can get on someone's nape.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You're going to kick yourself, they're just parts of the body.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And the last light blue group...
0:22:18 > 0:22:20They are...
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Greek... Figures from Greek mythology.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24They are not. They are plants.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26But you did find one group and you
0:22:26 > 0:22:28told me a couple of connections,
0:22:28 > 0:22:29so that is three points.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Let's bring in the Wayfarers now, give them an equally horrible
0:22:32 > 0:22:36final Connecting Wall and see what they can do about solving it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38It will be the Lion Wall for you.
0:22:38 > 0:22:402.5 minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Mudra's father. Mark...
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- That's mother.- Mudra.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Mudra.- Moeder.- Mere.- No.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- BUZZ - There's other mothers there as well.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Matka?- Matka, mere, mutter, mudra. - BUZZ
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Matka, mere, mutter and...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Oh, yes. Matthew, Mark...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Matthias?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- BUZZ - No, it's doesn't work.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Mink, mash...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14What's this? This looks like something upside down.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Cos of this dot at the end.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Looks as if it might be Sanskrit or something.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Mamsa...- Matsya?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Try it.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It's praying mantis...
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Three strikes, of course, plenty of time.- Monster mash...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Molly Malone...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Mink...- Mink.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Primary school mash. - Mink is the animal.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Yeah.- Oh, and so is a martin. No, that's marten with an E, isn't it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Mantis...
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Martin and Mark,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54we had that and it wasn't right.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55We did Martin.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59I can't see any mantis except praying mantis.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- I don't see any links to a praying mantis.- No.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04- Is it an anagram of anything?- No.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07THEY MUTTER
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I think we're going to have to start...
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- We've only got three guesses, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Shall we go for...?- So... - 30 seconds.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Ark, ink... No.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Ash.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Olly?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- BUZZ - It was a long shot.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Antis, ink, ark, ash.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31BUZZ
0:24:31 > 0:24:36- Tin..- One more go.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37And ten seconds.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Nope, that's it.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44You've had your three gos, and the Wall has frozen.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45But you found two groups.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I'll give you points if you tell me the connections.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50The first blue group, starting mutter.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52They're all foreign words meaning mother.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That's right. Not mutter, of course, but Mutter.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58The second green group. I'm not going to even try to pronounce it.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00What's that?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Well, Sanskrit words for parts of states of India. Or...
0:25:04 > 0:25:05I'm afraid they're not.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08They are Sanskrit words, but they are for tantric rituals.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10But I will give you points for
0:25:10 > 0:25:11the connections in the groups
0:25:11 > 0:25:14you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15There you go.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Coats.
