Hello and welcome to Only Connect, the grand final. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
Every TV series ends, not every series has a grand final. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
Gardener's World, for example, doesn't have a last climatic battle | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
with the very toughest weeds, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
but we do. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
This is going to be quite the stand-off. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Coming up later, we've got a couple of granite-hard Connecting Walls | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
to test the razor-sharp drills of our relentlessly boring teams. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
That's boring in the sense of rock, not in the sense of... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
You know, like a boring tool. A boring tool! | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Anyway, let's meet the tools...the teams! | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
On my right... Tessa North - | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
a museum volunteer who spent her recent birthday in a recreated | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Anglo-Saxon village | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
and has been in close proximity to a least five Time Lords. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Pete Sorel-Cameron - | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
an actor and musician who has played the part | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
of Rufus Wainwright's head, from the back. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
And their captain - Richard Aubrey - | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
a church choir leader | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
and secondary school teacher who got stuck | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
on top of Cape Town's most famous landmark | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
and had to be retrieved by the local mountain rescue. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
United by an appetite for the orchestral, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
they are the String Section. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
One of the String Sections, I should perhaps say. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
You have beaten the Headliners, the Wayfarers, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
the Scientists and the Cluesmiths to reach the final. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
How confident are you feeling of ultimate victory? | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
With the calibre of some of the teams you have just named, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
we're just impressed to be here. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
You have done incredibly well to be here. Very well done. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Can you get further? The people trying to stop you tonight are, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
on my left... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Barbara Thompson - a retired NHS secretary | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
and fan of black-and-white cinema who hopes to one day realise her | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
ambition of seeing the lost classic Britannia of Billingsgate. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Matt Beatson - | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
an IT consultant who mistakenly thought | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
he had broken his arm when he was run over by a push bike in Nevada. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
And their captain, Gerard Mackay - | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
a maths graduate who has been attacked by a goat and has on three | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
occasions unexpectedly encountered a member of the Royal Family. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
United by a soft spot for strolling, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
they are the Wayfarers. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Gerard, you beat the Bookworms. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
Then you lost to the String Section, who are here again tonight. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Then you beat the Builders, beat the Bookworms again | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
and won your semifinal against the Yorkers. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
What do you think about facing the String Section for the second time? | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
In the words of Vinnie Jones, it's been emotional. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
And I shall be sorry to see either team lose. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
You won the toss, so you will be going first. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Please choose the first Egyptian hieroglyph of the final. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
Twisted Flax, please. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
MUSICAL NOTE The Twisted Flax. Ah! | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
The music question. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
What is the connection between the clues you're going to hear? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
Here is the first. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
# When I am laid... # | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
Do you know what that is? | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
-SHE WHISPERS -Oh, it is, isn't it? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Next, please. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
OPERATIC SINGING | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
They're all queens. It was Queen Dido... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Shall we say next? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
We think they are all songs of queens. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
There are all queens involved. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
You are correct. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
They are all sung by queens. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
What did we hear? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
-What was the first one? -Dido's Lament. -Dido's Lament. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
That's it, from Purcell's Dido's And Aeneas. You didn't need | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
to hear Let It Go from Frozen. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
-Right. -By Elsa the Snow Queen. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
And then we would have had something from Camelot, Queen Guinevere. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Very well gambled after two clues. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Three points to you. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:38 | |
OK, String Section, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
what would you like? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
-Two Reeds. -Two Reeds. OK. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
What is the connection between these clues? | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Here's the first. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
-Tiberian. -Yeah, OK. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
OK. Next, please. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
-It's... -Sorry, what's that? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-SHE WHISPERS -OK, well... | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
They're all different, aren't they? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
-Do we take one more? -Yeah. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
OK, we'll take next, please. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
-Do you know that? -Right. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
It's Liberian, so it's "erian". | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
-OK... -Yeah. -They all end in "erian". | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
I'm minded to give that to you. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
I'd love to hear a little bit more. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Well, it's Liberian girl on Bad. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
They end in "iberain". | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
-Sorry. -They end in "iberian". | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
They do end on "erian", | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
I'll give it to you, but it's even more. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
What do you think the first clue is? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
That's Tiberian. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
And the next one, Iberain - | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
the ancient Georgian kingdom. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
-Liberian is the girl on Bad. And the last clue... -Siberian. -Siberian. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
Very well done. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
Back to you, Wayfarers, for a choice. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
Could we have the Lion, please? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
The Lion. OK, what is the connection between these clues? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
Here's the first. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:05:00 | 0:05:06 | |
Next, please. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Actor, what's the name? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
HE MUTTERS | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
Next, please. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
I don't know this one, do you? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
Keeps dying from... | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Yeah... Oh, it could be. Next, please. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Oh, they're deaths of Bond villains. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
No, no, no. It's... | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
-Three seconds. -Press the button! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
-It's actually Sean Bean. -Oh, deaths of Sean Bean. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
They are deaths of Sean Bean | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
in various films. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
Good save from you there, Matt. Not all Bond villains. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
He's torn apart by horses | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
in Black Death, which is | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
a horror film set against the | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
backdrop of the 14th-century plague. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Skewered by a grappling hook, | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
do you know over there? | 0:05:56 | 0:05:57 | |
Patriot Games. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
No, it's The Island, a 2005 movie | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
about an escape from dystopia. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Who can tell me how Sean Bean dies | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
in Don't Say A Word? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
-Beaten to death with a shovel. -Is he buried alive? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
He's buried alive | 0:06:09 | 0:06:10 | |
by an excavation machine. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
He really has been very unlucky. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
He should be more careful. The Field? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
Eaten by cows? | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
Driven off a cliff | 0:06:17 | 0:06:18 | |
-by stampeding cows... ALL: -Oooh! | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
..would be the perfect answer there. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
But, yes, all unfortunate ends | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
for Sean Bean in various roles. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:25 | |
String Section, what would you like? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
-Let's try the Eye of Horus, please. -The Eye of Horus. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
No. Next, please. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
What do you think? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
I don't think it's going to be a ride. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-THEY WHISPER -Next, please. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
Last one, please. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:02 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-We do not see this at all. -Three seconds. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
No, that's it. The time's up. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Wayfarers, do you want to have a go | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-for a bonus point? -Panthalassa was the big sea. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
Big sea, yeah. Paleo-Tethys. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
They're all seas that don't exist any more now. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
That's exactly right - | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
seas or oceans that no longer exist. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
Can you tell me about the areas where they were? | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
Well, Panthalassa was all the seas joined together to make one | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
-big one, I take it. -Quite. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
And the first one... Well, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
we just had a Siberian question, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
so it's another one between Baltica and Siberia. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Slide Mountain separated | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
North America | 0:07:39 | 0:07:40 | |
from some volcanic islands. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Paleo-Tethys separated what's now Central Europe and China. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
Well done. You get a bonus point. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:48 | |
Which question would you like? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
-Water, please. -Water. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
These are going to be picture clues. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
What connects them? Here's the first. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-Miley Cyrus, is it? -Yeah. -Who's the one on the right? -Don't know. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
Next, please. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Marilyn Monroe... | 0:08:04 | 0:08:05 | |
And... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
Jen Aniston? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
Next, please. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-Winston Churchill... -Churchill, OK. -Are they tattoos, are they? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-Cos he had a tattoo on his... Should we try? -Yeah. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
We think they're tattoos, | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
things on the right are tattooed on the people on the left. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
You are absolutely right, they're | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
tattoos on the people on the left. You didn't need to see | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
David Dimbleby and a scorpion. THEY LAUGH | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
He's got that on him. So what are we looking at? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
The trouble is, I know Miley Cyrus, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
but I don't know who that is on the right of her. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-It's her grandma. -Oh! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
What more touching tribute | 0:08:40 | 0:08:41 | |
to a grandma than to have her full | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
face tattooed onto your skin(?) | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
In 2012, Megan Fox had a tattoo of | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Marilyn Monroe removed from her arm. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
I don't know, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
I suppose they fell out. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
Winston Churchill had an anchor. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
And David Dimbleby, you didn't need to see. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
String Section, there is | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
one question left - the Horned Viper, | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
that's for you. | 0:08:58 | 0:08:59 | |
What is the connection between these clues? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
Here's the first. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
Next, please. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
Hombay... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-Hombay... -Bombay, Pompeii... | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
Does it rhyme with...? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
Next, please. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
It's the ends of... So it's the ends... | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
No, egantic... | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Next. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-Three seconds. -What? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Well, it's something that if you replace a certain... | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
I need an answer. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:46 | |
Like B-something, replacing... | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Replacing B-R. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Not it, I'm afraid. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
So a bonus chance for the Wayfarers. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
-Any idea? A replacement would go on there, looks like. -It's... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
No, that's too long, | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
you don't know either. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
You're in the right area. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
We have fiddled about with | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
what they call portmanteaux words. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
So you know, for example, the word smog made from smoke and fog. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
If you broke it the other way, you'd get foke. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Bombay and Hollywood, | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
you make Bollywood. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
But if you took the H and the rest | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
of the word, you get Hombay. THEY LAUGH | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
Gigantic and enormous together make ginormous. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
Or split it differently, you get egantic. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
And of course, breakfast and lunch make brunch. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
But if you take the L | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
rather than the B-R, leakfast. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
At the end of Round One... | 0:10:29 | 0:10:30 | |
Yes, the sting played | 0:10:37 | 0:10:38 | |
by a live quartet, as usual. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
Wayfarers, you'll be going | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
first again for Round Two, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
the sequences round. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
Which hieroglyph would you like? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
-Eye of Horus, please. -The Eye of Horus. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
These are going to be picture clues. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
They will come in a sequence. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:52 | |
What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
That's Marlene Dietrich. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
Next, please. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
-That's Joe DiMaggio. -It's that Madonna... Vogue. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
Dietrich and DiMaggio... | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
Marlon Brando, Fred Astaire? | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
-Shall we try Fred Astaire? -Go for it. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
We're going to try Fred Astaire. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Not the answer, I'm afraid. I'll show the third in the sequence | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
to the String Section for a possible bonus point. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-Jimmy Dean. James Dean. -James Dean. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
The answer is James Dean. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Yes. Now, I think you recognised it, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
Matt, very quickly. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
What is the sequence? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
It is the sequence of the spoken lines that Madonna | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
says in the song Vogue. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
That's it. "Dietrich and DiMaggio, | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
"Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean, on the cover of a magazine." | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Well done for the bonus point. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:42 | |
Which question would you like | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-for yourselves? -Two Reeds once again, please. -Two Reeds, OK. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
Next, please. | 0:11:58 | 0:11:59 | |
Lazy... | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
Oh. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 | |
Scores in something or other? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
Next, please. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
-Wow. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Um... | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
Do you have any clues AT ALL? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Three seconds. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
One - old. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
Not a sequence that I can think of, | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
I'm afraid. So, Wayfarers, | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |
you have a chance for a bonus point. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
I'd say two - the sun. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
I mean, that's incredibly impressive. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
The answer is two - the sun. Very well done. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
What are we looking at? | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
Well, hidden is the derivation of krypton, which is element 36. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:51 | |
Krypton comes from the Greek kryptos, | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
meaning hidden. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
Lazy is argos in Greek, so gives us argon, element 18. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
New is neon, element ten. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
And helium is from the sun, that's element number two. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
They are all the noble gases working backwards. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
That is what is amazing about | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
this question - so much is going on. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
Very well done, you get the bonus point. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
I will punish you, though, | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
by giving you a question of your own. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
Which would you like? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
I'm going to try Horned or Horn-ed Viper, according to taste. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
OK, the Horned Viper. What would come fourth in this sequence? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
Here's the first. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
No. Next, please. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
Next, please. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
HE WHISPERS | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Let's see, little words... | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Just like abbreviations for words? | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |
Not that I can think of. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
Let's press the button. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Three seconds. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
Do you want to have a guess? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
No, I can't see this at all. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:10 | |
No point? OK, String Section, | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
do you want to have a go | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
-for a bonus point? -EGE. -Is the right answer! | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Wow, you all are being very impressive this evening. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
I thought nobody would get that. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
-Why is it EGE? -Anne, George I, George II. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
George III, George IV, William IV. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:23 | |
Victoria, Edward VII, George V. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
Edward VIII, George VI, Elizabeth II. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
You're absolutely right. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:30 | |
They're little threesomes of | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
British monarchs going forwards, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
and the next three would be Edward, | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
George, Elizabeth, known by EGE. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Very well spotted. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
But you get your comeuppance as well | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
with your own question. Which one? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-The Twisted Flax, please. -Twisted Flax. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
Yeah, it could... Oh, yeah. Uniform? Next, please. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
Next, please. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:13 | |
You're right, it is. It's... | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
I think it could... | 0:15:18 | 0:15:19 | |
SHE WHISPERS | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
Three seconds. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Oooph! Hit the button. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
1d equals... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-..1d. -Is the right answer! -Yes. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
And why would that be? | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
It's the equivalent units on Mars, isn't it? Earth to Mars? | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
Oh, no, it's not so complicated. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-Do you know what it is over there? -Well, yeah. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
It's expressing in decimal the number of ones there are in a day. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
That's exactly right. It's the | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
24-hour clock in decimal time. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:53 | |
In decimal time, there are | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
100 seconds in a minute, | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
100 minutes in an hour | 0:15:56 | 0:15:57 | |
and ten hours in a day. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
So, you know, one second | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
becomes 0.864 seconds. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
So not quite what the sequence was, | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
but you gave me the right answer, so well done. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
Back to you, Wayfarers, for a choice. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
-Water, please. -Water. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Fourth, fishmongers? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:16 | |
-SHE MUTTERS -Is it...? | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Well, we could try it. Next, please. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
HE MUTTERS | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
-I don't know. I think Goldsmiths. -It's a good try. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
Should we try it now? Cos we won't know from the third, will we? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
Trying - first, Goldsmiths. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
Not the answer, I'm afraid. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
I'll show the third in the sequence | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
-to the String Section for a possible bonus point. -First... | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
Cordwainers. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
Not it. The answer is - | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
first, Mercers. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:45 | |
-What's the sequence? -It's livery companies. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
The order they were formed, is it? | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
Well, no, it's not chronological. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
-It's in order of precedence... -Ah! | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
..that was set down by a group | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
of aldermen in the 16th century. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
And they...they abide by it today. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
In that order of precedence, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:01 | |
agreed by the livery companies | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
themselves, Mercers would be the most powerful. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
So no points there, | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
but one more question - the Lion. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
That'll be for you, String Section. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
MUSICAL NOTE Well, well, it's a music sequence, | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
so I want to know what you'd expect to hear as the fourth clue. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Here's the first. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
It's a hymn. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
Next, please. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
There's No Place Like Home, do you think? | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
There's No Place Like Home. Next, please. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-HE WHISPERS -There's no place like home. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
See The Conquering Hero Comes | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
is the original. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:55 | |
Three seconds. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
Sorry? | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
Forever And Ever, Amen. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:02 | |
Forever And Ever, Amen. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
Not the answer, I'm afraid. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:06 | |
Wayfarers, chance of a bonus point. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
-Rule Britannia. -Is the right answer. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-And why is that? -It's the... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
Fantasia On Sea shanties or... | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
On British Sea Songs, by Sir Henry Wood. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
Next would be Rule Britannia. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
I think I would normally ask you | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
if you could sing it, but we can | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
perhaps do better than that. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:23 | |
Perhaps they can have a go. Let's hear a bit of Rule Britannia. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
THEY PLAY Rule Britannia | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
At the end of Round Two... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
The guest string section have two points. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
And we move on to our final pair of Connecting Walls for the series. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
The first one will go to you, String Section. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
You'll be going first. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
Which would you like, Lion or Water? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
-Let's have the Water this time, please, Victoria. -OK. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
You have 2.5 minutes to solve the Water Wall, starting now. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
OK, well... | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-We have the alphabets. -And that would be niet, no. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
Yes, niet, nein... | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
Maybe nej and nao. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
OK. That was easy. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
Alphabets... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
-That's going to be the end of a word. -Yes. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
Same with... | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
-For charities would be... -Ends of charities in general? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
-Yes. But it looks like... -That looks like an end as well. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
We'll do it that way. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
-BUZZ -That could be an end. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
-Maybe just very quickly... -BUZZ | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
Do you want to do...? Or do should we do that one? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
-BUZZ -Let's just... -No. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
-BUZZ -I don't think this is going to be it. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
No, but we'll be out of tries if you do find the right one. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
HE WHISPERS | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
On the nose. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Can you have on the nine, maybe? | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
-I haven't heard of it. -No, I don't know. On the nerve, maybe? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-We can get on... -On a nerve. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
-On the nose... -Nettle, nines... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
-BUZZ -Nope. -Yeah, maybe. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
I don't recognise that at all. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
-Neither do I. -You've got a minute. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
I'd get rid of that. I'd go nerve, nape, nose, nine and see. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
BUZZ THEY WHISPER | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
Nipa... Is that, like, the end of something or is that...? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
That's pain. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
OK... | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
What could be in...? | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
Well, if it is the end of stuff, it would be that one. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
Pain... | 0:20:40 | 0:20:41 | |
-They seem a bit vague, though, don't they? -They do. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
BUZZ THEY WHISPER | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-They look like... -20 seconds. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Yeah. But we'll leave it, though. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
-Let's do this one. -No. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
Good grief! | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
-Touch. You can touch a nerve. -Five seconds. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
-Touch a nerve. -No, that's it. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
You're out of time and the Wall is frozen. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
But you found a group, no mean feat on this Wall. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
I'll give you a point if you can tell me the connections, | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
starting ni-et or ne-et or ni-te. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
No, in a variety of languages. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
No, in a range of languages, that's right. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
And of course, you can get points for the connections in the groups | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
There you go, that's how it should've looked. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
What about that green group? | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
-Oh! -It's the ends of... | 0:21:35 | 0:21:36 | |
Is it...? Are they in Much Ado About Nothing? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
But say Shakespeare. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:40 | |
Yes, cos... Ends of Shakespearean characters. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
They are the ends of Shakespearean characters, very well done. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
I'd love you to tell me something else if you can. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
They all begin Leo. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
If you put Leo at the start of all of them - | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Leonato, Leonardo, Leontes, Leonine - | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
all end up in Shakespearean characters. Very well spotted. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
-I didn't think you saw that at all during. -No! -No! | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
And what about the pink | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
or purple group? | 0:22:02 | 0:22:03 | |
You can get on someone's each of these, or touch on them. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
I don't think you can get on someone's nape. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
You're going to kick yourself, they're just parts of the body. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
And the last light blue group... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
They are... | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
Greek... Figures from Greek mythology. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
They are not. They are plants. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
But you did find one group and you | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
told me a couple of connections, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
so that is three points. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:29 | |
Let's bring in the Wayfarers now, give them an equally horrible | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
final Connecting Wall and see what they can do about solving it. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
It will be the Lion Wall for you. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
2.5 minutes to solve it, starting now. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
Mudra's father. Mark... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
-That's mother. -Mudra. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
-Mudra. -Moeder. -Mere. -No. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
-BUZZ -There's other mothers there as well. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-Matka? -Matka, mere, mutter, mudra. -BUZZ | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
Matka, mere, mutter and... | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
Oh, yes. Matthew, Mark... | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
Matthias? | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
-BUZZ -No, it's doesn't work. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Mink, mash... | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
What's this? This looks like something upside down. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
Cos of this dot at the end. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
Looks as if it might be Sanskrit or something. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
-Mamsa... -Matsya? | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
Try it. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
It's praying mantis... | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
-Three strikes, of course, plenty of time. -Monster mash... | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Molly Malone... | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
-Mink... -Mink. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
-Primary school mash. -Mink is the animal. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
-Yeah. -Oh, and so is a martin. No, that's marten with an E, isn't it? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Mantis... | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
Martin and Mark, | 0:23:51 | 0:23:52 | |
we had that and it wasn't right. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
We did Martin. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:55 | |
I can't see any mantis except praying mantis. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
-I don't see any links to a praying mantis. -No. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
-Is it an anagram of anything? -No. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:04 | |
THEY MUTTER | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
I think we're going to have to start... | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
-We've only got three guesses, haven't we? -Yeah. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
-Shall we go for...? -So... -30 seconds. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Ark, ink... No. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
Ash. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 | |
Olly? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
-BUZZ -It was a long shot. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
Antis, ink, ark, ash. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
BUZZ | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
-Tin.. -One more go. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
And ten seconds. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
Nope, that's it. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
You've had your three gos, and the Wall has frozen. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
But you found two groups. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
I'll give you points if you tell me the connections. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
The first blue group, starting mutter. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
They're all foreign words meaning mother. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
That's right. Not mutter, of course, but Mutter. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
The second green group. I'm not going to even try to pronounce it. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
What's that? | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
Well, Sanskrit words for parts of states of India. Or... | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
I'm afraid they're not. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:05 | |
They are Sanskrit words, but they are for tantric rituals. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
But I will give you points for | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
the connections in the groups | 0:25:10 | 0:25:11 | |
you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
There you go. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:15 | |
Coats. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:18 | |
-Nope. -Fur coats. -Nope, that's not it. You're going to kick yourselves. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
They're just animals. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
And the light blue group. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:26 | |
-Biblical characters? -They're all Biblical characters. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
You don't know Mash from the Book of Genesis? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
A more obscure character, maybe, but they all are Biblical characters. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
He's my favourite, yeah(!) | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
So, you found two groups and you gave me two connections as well, | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
so that is a total of four points. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Let's have a look at the scores. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
Missing vowels time. This is where the championship will be decided. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:58 | |
Fingers on buzzers, teams. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
The first group are all... | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
Wayfarers. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
-Henry V, Damian Lewis. -Not right, I'm afraid. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
-String Section, do you know? -Henry V and Damian Lewis. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
No, that's not right either. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
Next clue. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
String Section? | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
-Henry V and Dominic West. -No. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
Wayfarers, do you know? | 0:26:28 | 0:26:29 | |
Is correct. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |

String Section. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
Correct. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:25 | |
-Wayfarers? -Would you like to know the specials? | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
Not it, I'm afraid. String Section? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
That's right. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:34 | |
END TUNE PLAYS | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
No time for another clue | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
because the bell has gone for the end of the quiz. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
And I can tell you that finishing with 15 points, | 0:27:43 | 0:27:48 | |
the new champions of Only Connect are... | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
the String Section! | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
THEY SIGH Very well done to you. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:54 | |
Extremely well quizzed. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
Wayfarers, you're an honourable | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
second with 12 points. | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
Very good quizzing over there | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
as well. Well done, all of you. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:02 | |
You've had a really great run. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:03 | |
And you guys, particularly. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
Many congratulations. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
So that's it, the night is over and we have new champions. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
Now for our fabulous closing ceremony, | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
and the string quartet is going to play us out. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
I know, it's gone crazy. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:17 | |
That's the thing with television, the money is just mad. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
A quartet in here, out the back, we've got | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
a full orchestra doing the catering. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
In my dressing room, I no longer have a mirror, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
I've got a trained mime wearing a perfect replica of my clothes. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:31 | |
These are the end times. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
Goodbye. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:34 |
