Hello and welcome to Only Connect, the grand final.

0:00:210:00:25

Every TV series ends, not every series has a grand final.

0:00:250:00:30

Gardener's World, for example, doesn't have a last climatic battle

0:00:300:00:33

with the very toughest weeds,

0:00:330:00:35

but we do.

0:00:350:00:37

This is going to be quite the stand-off.

0:00:370:00:39

Coming up later, we've got a couple of granite-hard Connecting Walls

0:00:390:00:43

to test the razor-sharp drills of our relentlessly boring teams.

0:00:430:00:47

That's boring in the sense of rock, not in the sense of...

0:00:470:00:50

You know, like a boring tool. A boring tool!

0:00:500:00:52

Anyway, let's meet the tools...the teams!

0:00:520:00:55

On my right... Tessa North -

0:00:550:00:58

a museum volunteer who spent her recent birthday in a recreated

0:00:580:01:01

Anglo-Saxon village

0:01:010:01:03

and has been in close proximity to a least five Time Lords.

0:01:030:01:07

Pete Sorel-Cameron -

0:01:070:01:08

an actor and musician who has played the part

0:01:080:01:11

of Rufus Wainwright's head, from the back.

0:01:110:01:13

And their captain - Richard Aubrey -

0:01:130:01:16

a church choir leader

0:01:160:01:17

and secondary school teacher who got stuck

0:01:170:01:19

on top of Cape Town's most famous landmark

0:01:190:01:22

and had to be retrieved by the local mountain rescue.

0:01:220:01:25

United by an appetite for the orchestral,

0:01:250:01:27

they are the String Section.

0:01:270:01:28

One of the String Sections, I should perhaps say.

0:01:280:01:30

You have beaten the Headliners, the Wayfarers,

0:01:300:01:33

the Scientists and the Cluesmiths to reach the final.

0:01:330:01:36

How confident are you feeling of ultimate victory?

0:01:360:01:39

With the calibre of some of the teams you have just named,

0:01:390:01:42

we're just impressed to be here.

0:01:420:01:45

You have done incredibly well to be here. Very well done.

0:01:450:01:47

Can you get further? The people trying to stop you tonight are,

0:01:470:01:51

on my left...

0:01:510:01:53

Barbara Thompson - a retired NHS secretary

0:01:530:01:56

and fan of black-and-white cinema who hopes to one day realise her

0:01:560:02:00

ambition of seeing the lost classic Britannia of Billingsgate.

0:02:000:02:03

Matt Beatson -

0:02:030:02:05

an IT consultant who mistakenly thought

0:02:050:02:07

he had broken his arm when he was run over by a push bike in Nevada.

0:02:070:02:11

And their captain, Gerard Mackay -

0:02:110:02:13

a maths graduate who has been attacked by a goat and has on three

0:02:130:02:16

occasions unexpectedly encountered a member of the Royal Family.

0:02:160:02:20

United by a soft spot for strolling,

0:02:200:02:22

they are the Wayfarers.

0:02:220:02:24

Gerard, you beat the Bookworms.

0:02:240:02:25

Then you lost to the String Section, who are here again tonight.

0:02:250:02:28

Then you beat the Builders, beat the Bookworms again

0:02:280:02:31

and won your semifinal against the Yorkers.

0:02:310:02:33

What do you think about facing the String Section for the second time?

0:02:330:02:36

In the words of Vinnie Jones, it's been emotional.

0:02:360:02:39

And I shall be sorry to see either team lose.

0:02:390:02:42

You won the toss, so you will be going first.

0:02:420:02:44

Please choose the first Egyptian hieroglyph of the final.

0:02:440:02:49

Twisted Flax, please.

0:02:490:02:51

MUSICAL NOTE The Twisted Flax. Ah!

0:02:510:02:52

The music question.

0:02:520:02:53

What is the connection between the clues you're going to hear?

0:02:530:02:56

Here is the first.

0:02:560:02:57

# When I am laid... #

0:02:570:03:02

Do you know what that is?

0:03:020:03:04

-SHE WHISPERS

-Oh, it is, isn't it?

0:03:040:03:07

Next, please.

0:03:070:03:08

OPERATIC SINGING

0:03:080:03:10

They're all queens. It was Queen Dido...

0:03:100:03:13

Shall we say next?

0:03:130:03:15

We think they are all songs of queens.

0:03:150:03:17

There are all queens involved.

0:03:170:03:19

You are correct.

0:03:190:03:20

They are all sung by queens.

0:03:200:03:22

What did we hear?

0:03:220:03:23

-What was the first one?

-Dido's Lament.

-Dido's Lament.

0:03:230:03:25

That's it, from Purcell's Dido's And Aeneas. You didn't need

0:03:250:03:28

to hear Let It Go from Frozen.

0:03:280:03:30

-Right.

-By Elsa the Snow Queen.

0:03:300:03:32

And then we would have had something from Camelot, Queen Guinevere.

0:03:320:03:35

Very well gambled after two clues.

0:03:350:03:37

Three points to you.

0:03:370:03:38

OK, String Section,

0:03:380:03:39

what would you like?

0:03:390:03:40

-Two Reeds.

-Two Reeds. OK.

0:03:400:03:43

What is the connection between these clues?

0:03:430:03:46

Here's the first.

0:03:460:03:47

-Tiberian.

-Yeah, OK.

0:03:500:03:53

OK. Next, please.

0:03:530:03:55

-It's...

-Sorry, what's that?

0:03:590:04:02

-SHE WHISPERS

-OK, well...

0:04:020:04:05

They're all different, aren't they?

0:04:050:04:07

-Do we take one more?

-Yeah.

0:04:070:04:09

OK, we'll take next, please.

0:04:090:04:11

-Do you know that?

-Right.

0:04:140:04:16

THEY WHISPER

0:04:160:04:19

It's Liberian, so it's "erian".

0:04:200:04:22

-OK...

-Yeah.

-They all end in "erian".

0:04:230:04:26

I'm minded to give that to you.

0:04:260:04:28

I'd love to hear a little bit more.

0:04:280:04:30

Well, it's Liberian girl on Bad.

0:04:300:04:32

They end in "iberain".

0:04:320:04:34

-Sorry.

-They end in "iberian".

0:04:340:04:35

They do end on "erian",

0:04:350:04:37

I'll give it to you, but it's even more.

0:04:370:04:39

What do you think the first clue is?

0:04:390:04:40

That's Tiberian.

0:04:400:04:41

And the next one, Iberain -

0:04:410:04:43

the ancient Georgian kingdom.

0:04:430:04:44

-Liberian is the girl on Bad. And the last clue...

-Siberian.

-Siberian.

0:04:440:04:48

Very well done.

0:04:480:04:50

Back to you, Wayfarers, for a choice.

0:04:500:04:52

Could we have the Lion, please?

0:04:520:04:53

The Lion. OK, what is the connection between these clues?

0:04:530:04:57

Here's the first.

0:04:570:04:58

THEY WHISPER

0:05:000:05:06

Next, please.

0:05:060:05:07

THEY WHISPER

0:05:080:05:10

Actor, what's the name?

0:05:100:05:12

HE MUTTERS

0:05:120:05:14

Next, please.

0:05:140:05:16

THEY WHISPER

0:05:170:05:20

I don't know this one, do you?

0:05:210:05:23

Keeps dying from...

0:05:230:05:26

Yeah... Oh, it could be. Next, please.

0:05:260:05:29

Oh, they're deaths of Bond villains.

0:05:310:05:33

No, no, no. It's...

0:05:330:05:34

-Three seconds.

-Press the button!

0:05:340:05:36

-It's actually Sean Bean.

-Oh, deaths of Sean Bean.

0:05:360:05:40

They are deaths of Sean Bean

0:05:400:05:43

in various films.

0:05:430:05:44

Good save from you there, Matt. Not all Bond villains.

0:05:440:05:47

He's torn apart by horses

0:05:470:05:48

in Black Death, which is

0:05:480:05:50

a horror film set against the

0:05:500:05:52

backdrop of the 14th-century plague.

0:05:520:05:54

Skewered by a grappling hook,

0:05:540:05:56

do you know over there?

0:05:560:05:57

Patriot Games.

0:05:570:05:58

No, it's The Island, a 2005 movie

0:05:580:06:00

about an escape from dystopia.

0:06:000:06:03

Who can tell me how Sean Bean dies

0:06:030:06:05

in Don't Say A Word?

0:06:050:06:06

-Beaten to death with a shovel.

-Is he buried alive?

0:06:060:06:09

He's buried alive

0:06:090:06:10

by an excavation machine.

0:06:100:06:11

He really has been very unlucky.

0:06:110:06:13

He should be more careful. The Field?

0:06:130:06:15

Eaten by cows?

0:06:150:06:17

Driven off a cliff

0:06:170:06:18

-by stampeding cows... ALL:

-Oooh!

0:06:180:06:20

..would be the perfect answer there.

0:06:200:06:21

But, yes, all unfortunate ends

0:06:210:06:24

for Sean Bean in various roles.

0:06:240:06:25

String Section, what would you like?

0:06:250:06:27

-Let's try the Eye of Horus, please.

-The Eye of Horus.

0:06:270:06:30

What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.

0:06:300:06:33

THEY WHISPER

0:06:350:06:37

No. Next, please.

0:06:400:06:42

THEY WHISPER

0:06:420:06:44

What do you think?

0:06:470:06:49

I don't think it's going to be a ride.

0:06:490:06:51

-THEY WHISPER

-Next, please.

0:06:510:06:53

THEY WHISPER

0:06:570:07:01

Last one, please.

0:07:010:07:02

THEY WHISPER

0:07:050:07:08

-We do not see this at all.

-Three seconds.

0:07:080:07:10

No, that's it. The time's up.

0:07:120:07:14

Wayfarers, do you want to have a go

0:07:140:07:16

-for a bonus point?

-Panthalassa was the big sea.

0:07:160:07:18

Big sea, yeah. Paleo-Tethys.

0:07:180:07:20

They're all seas that don't exist any more now.

0:07:200:07:22

That's exactly right -

0:07:220:07:23

seas or oceans that no longer exist.

0:07:230:07:25

Can you tell me about the areas where they were?

0:07:250:07:28

Well, Panthalassa was all the seas joined together to make one

0:07:280:07:31

-big one, I take it.

-Quite.

0:07:310:07:33

And the first one... Well,

0:07:330:07:34

we just had a Siberian question,

0:07:340:07:36

so it's another one between Baltica and Siberia.

0:07:360:07:38

Slide Mountain separated

0:07:380:07:39

North America

0:07:390:07:40

from some volcanic islands.

0:07:400:07:42

Paleo-Tethys separated what's now Central Europe and China.

0:07:420:07:47

Well done. You get a bonus point.

0:07:470:07:48

Which question would you like?

0:07:480:07:50

-Water, please.

-Water.

0:07:500:07:52

These are going to be picture clues.

0:07:520:07:54

What connects them? Here's the first.

0:07:540:07:56

-Miley Cyrus, is it?

-Yeah.

-Who's the one on the right?

-Don't know.

0:07:580:08:01

Next, please.

0:08:010:08:04

Marilyn Monroe...

0:08:040:08:05

And...

0:08:050:08:08

Jen Aniston?

0:08:080:08:09

Next, please.

0:08:090:08:11

-Winston Churchill...

-Churchill, OK.

-Are they tattoos, are they?

0:08:120:08:16

-Cos he had a tattoo on his... Should we try?

-Yeah.

0:08:160:08:19

We think they're tattoos,

0:08:200:08:22

things on the right are tattooed on the people on the left.

0:08:220:08:25

You are absolutely right, they're

0:08:250:08:26

tattoos on the people on the left. You didn't need to see

0:08:260:08:29

David Dimbleby and a scorpion. THEY LAUGH

0:08:290:08:31

He's got that on him. So what are we looking at?

0:08:310:08:34

The trouble is, I know Miley Cyrus,

0:08:340:08:36

but I don't know who that is on the right of her.

0:08:360:08:38

-It's her grandma.

-Oh!

0:08:380:08:40

What more touching tribute

0:08:400:08:41

to a grandma than to have her full

0:08:410:08:43

face tattooed onto your skin(?)

0:08:430:08:45

In 2012, Megan Fox had a tattoo of

0:08:450:08:47

Marilyn Monroe removed from her arm.

0:08:470:08:49

I don't know,

0:08:490:08:50

I suppose they fell out.

0:08:500:08:51

Winston Churchill had an anchor.

0:08:510:08:53

And David Dimbleby, you didn't need to see.

0:08:530:08:55

String Section, there is

0:08:550:08:56

one question left - the Horned Viper,

0:08:560:08:58

that's for you.

0:08:580:08:59

What is the connection between these clues?

0:08:590:09:01

Here's the first.

0:09:010:09:02

THEY WHISPER

0:09:040:09:07

Next, please.

0:09:090:09:11

Hombay...

0:09:120:09:14

-Hombay...

-Bombay, Pompeii...

0:09:140:09:16

Does it rhyme with...?

0:09:160:09:18

THEY WHISPER

0:09:180:09:21

Next, please.

0:09:220:09:23

It's the ends of... So it's the ends...

0:09:250:09:28

No, egantic...

0:09:300:09:32

Next.

0:09:330:09:35

THEY WHISPER

0:09:370:09:39

-Three seconds.

-What?

0:09:390:09:42

Well, it's something that if you replace a certain...

0:09:420:09:45

I need an answer.

0:09:450:09:46

Like B-something, replacing...

0:09:460:09:48

Replacing B-R.

0:09:480:09:51

Not it, I'm afraid.

0:09:510:09:52

So a bonus chance for the Wayfarers.

0:09:520:09:54

-Any idea? A replacement would go on there, looks like.

-It's...

0:09:540:09:58

No, that's too long,

0:09:580:09:59

you don't know either.

0:09:590:10:01

You're in the right area.

0:10:010:10:02

We have fiddled about with

0:10:020:10:04

what they call portmanteaux words.

0:10:040:10:06

So you know, for example, the word smog made from smoke and fog.

0:10:060:10:10

If you broke it the other way, you'd get foke.

0:10:100:10:12

Bombay and Hollywood,

0:10:120:10:13

you make Bollywood.

0:10:130:10:14

But if you took the H and the rest

0:10:140:10:16

of the word, you get Hombay. THEY LAUGH

0:10:160:10:18

Gigantic and enormous together make ginormous.

0:10:180:10:21

Or split it differently, you get egantic.

0:10:210:10:23

And of course, breakfast and lunch make brunch.

0:10:230:10:25

But if you take the L

0:10:250:10:27

rather than the B-R, leakfast.

0:10:270:10:29

At the end of Round One...

0:10:290:10:30

Yes, the sting played

0:10:370:10:38

by a live quartet, as usual.

0:10:380:10:40

Wayfarers, you'll be going

0:10:400:10:41

first again for Round Two,

0:10:410:10:43

the sequences round.

0:10:430:10:44

Which hieroglyph would you like?

0:10:440:10:46

-Eye of Horus, please.

-The Eye of Horus.

0:10:460:10:49

These are going to be picture clues.

0:10:490:10:51

They will come in a sequence.

0:10:510:10:52

What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first.

0:10:520:10:57

That's Marlene Dietrich.

0:10:570:11:00

Next, please.

0:11:010:11:02

-That's Joe DiMaggio.

-It's that Madonna... Vogue.

0:11:040:11:08

Dietrich and DiMaggio...

0:11:080:11:10

Marlon Brando, Fred Astaire?

0:11:100:11:12

-Shall we try Fred Astaire?

-Go for it.

0:11:120:11:14

We're going to try Fred Astaire.

0:11:140:11:16

Not the answer, I'm afraid. I'll show the third in the sequence

0:11:160:11:19

to the String Section for a possible bonus point.

0:11:190:11:21

-Jimmy Dean. James Dean.

-James Dean.

0:11:210:11:23

The answer is James Dean.

0:11:230:11:26

Yes. Now, I think you recognised it,

0:11:260:11:28

Matt, very quickly.

0:11:280:11:29

What is the sequence?

0:11:290:11:31

It is the sequence of the spoken lines that Madonna

0:11:310:11:34

says in the song Vogue.

0:11:340:11:36

That's it. "Dietrich and DiMaggio,

0:11:360:11:38

"Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean, on the cover of a magazine."

0:11:380:11:41

Well done for the bonus point.

0:11:410:11:42

Which question would you like

0:11:420:11:44

-for yourselves?

-Two Reeds once again, please.

-Two Reeds, OK.

0:11:440:11:47

What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:11:470:11:50

THEY WHISPER

0:11:530:11:56

Next, please.

0:11:580:11:59

Lazy...

0:12:010:12:02

Oh.

0:12:040:12:05

Scores in something or other?

0:12:050:12:08

THEY WHISPER

0:12:080:12:10

Next, please.

0:12:100:12:12

-Wow.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:12:130:12:16

Um...

0:12:160:12:17

THEY WHISPER

0:12:190:12:22

Do you have any clues AT ALL?

0:12:240:12:26

Three seconds.

0:12:260:12:27

One - old.

0:12:290:12:31

Not a sequence that I can think of,

0:12:310:12:33

I'm afraid. So, Wayfarers,

0:12:330:12:34

you have a chance for a bonus point.

0:12:340:12:36

I'd say two - the sun.

0:12:360:12:38

I mean, that's incredibly impressive.

0:12:380:12:41

The answer is two - the sun. Very well done.

0:12:410:12:43

What are we looking at?

0:12:430:12:45

Well, hidden is the derivation of krypton, which is element 36.

0:12:450:12:51

Krypton comes from the Greek kryptos,

0:12:510:12:54

meaning hidden.

0:12:540:12:55

Lazy is argos in Greek, so gives us argon, element 18.

0:12:550:12:59

New is neon, element ten.

0:12:590:13:01

And helium is from the sun, that's element number two.

0:13:010:13:04

They are all the noble gases working backwards.

0:13:040:13:07

That is what is amazing about

0:13:070:13:09

this question - so much is going on.

0:13:090:13:11

Very well done, you get the bonus point.

0:13:110:13:13

I will punish you, though,

0:13:130:13:15

by giving you a question of your own.

0:13:150:13:17

Which would you like?

0:13:170:13:18

I'm going to try Horned or Horn-ed Viper, according to taste.

0:13:180:13:21

OK, the Horned Viper. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:13:210:13:25

Here's the first.

0:13:250:13:26

No. Next, please.

0:13:310:13:34

Next, please.

0:13:390:13:40

HE WHISPERS

0:13:450:13:47

Let's see, little words...

0:13:540:13:57

Just like abbreviations for words?

0:13:570:13:58

Not that I can think of.

0:13:580:14:00

Let's press the button.

0:14:000:14:02

Three seconds.

0:14:030:14:05

Do you want to have a guess?

0:14:070:14:09

No, I can't see this at all.

0:14:090:14:10

No point? OK, String Section,

0:14:100:14:11

do you want to have a go

0:14:110:14:13

-for a bonus point?

-EGE.

-Is the right answer!

0:14:130:14:16

Wow, you all are being very impressive this evening.

0:14:160:14:18

I thought nobody would get that.

0:14:180:14:20

-Why is it EGE?

-Anne, George I, George II.

0:14:200:14:22

George III, George IV, William IV.

0:14:220:14:23

Victoria, Edward VII, George V.

0:14:230:14:26

Edward VIII, George VI, Elizabeth II.

0:14:260:14:29

You're absolutely right.

0:14:290:14:30

They're little threesomes of

0:14:300:14:32

British monarchs going forwards,

0:14:320:14:33

and the next three would be Edward,

0:14:330:14:36

George, Elizabeth, known by EGE.

0:14:360:14:38

Very well spotted.

0:14:380:14:40

But you get your comeuppance as well

0:14:400:14:42

with your own question. Which one?

0:14:420:14:44

-The Twisted Flax, please.

-Twisted Flax.

0:14:440:14:47

What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:14:470:14:51

THEY WHISPER

0:14:510:14:54

Yeah, it could... Oh, yeah. Uniform? Next, please.

0:14:590:15:02

THEY WHISPER

0:15:060:15:09

Next, please.

0:15:120:15:13

You're right, it is. It's...

0:15:160:15:18

I think it could...

0:15:180:15:19

SHE WHISPERS

0:15:190:15:22

Three seconds.

0:15:260:15:29

Oooph! Hit the button.

0:15:290:15:31

1d equals...

0:15:310:15:34

-..1d.

-Is the right answer!

-Yes.

0:15:350:15:37

And why would that be?

0:15:370:15:39

It's the equivalent units on Mars, isn't it? Earth to Mars?

0:15:390:15:42

Oh, no, it's not so complicated.

0:15:420:15:45

-Do you know what it is over there?

-Well, yeah.

0:15:450:15:47

It's expressing in decimal the number of ones there are in a day.

0:15:470:15:51

That's exactly right. It's the

0:15:510:15:52

24-hour clock in decimal time.

0:15:520:15:53

In decimal time, there are

0:15:530:15:54

100 seconds in a minute,

0:15:540:15:56

100 minutes in an hour

0:15:560:15:57

and ten hours in a day.

0:15:570:15:58

So, you know, one second

0:15:580:16:00

becomes 0.864 seconds.

0:16:000:16:02

So not quite what the sequence was,

0:16:020:16:04

but you gave me the right answer, so well done.

0:16:040:16:06

Back to you, Wayfarers, for a choice.

0:16:060:16:08

-Water, please.

-Water.

0:16:080:16:10

What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:16:100:16:13

Fourth, fishmongers?

0:16:150:16:16

-SHE MUTTERS

-Is it...?

0:16:180:16:20

Well, we could try it. Next, please.

0:16:200:16:22

HE MUTTERS

0:16:220:16:25

-I don't know. I think Goldsmiths.

-It's a good try.

0:16:250:16:27

Should we try it now? Cos we won't know from the third, will we?

0:16:270:16:32

Trying - first, Goldsmiths.

0:16:320:16:33

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:16:330:16:35

I'll show the third in the sequence

0:16:350:16:37

-to the String Section for a possible bonus point.

-First...

0:16:370:16:40

Cordwainers.

0:16:400:16:42

Not it. The answer is -

0:16:420:16:44

first, Mercers.

0:16:440:16:45

-What's the sequence?

-It's livery companies.

0:16:450:16:49

The order they were formed, is it?

0:16:490:16:50

Well, no, it's not chronological.

0:16:500:16:52

-It's in order of precedence...

-Ah!

0:16:520:16:54

..that was set down by a group

0:16:540:16:56

of aldermen in the 16th century.

0:16:560:16:58

And they...they abide by it today.

0:16:580:17:00

In that order of precedence,

0:17:000:17:01

agreed by the livery companies

0:17:010:17:03

themselves, Mercers would be the most powerful.

0:17:030:17:06

So no points there,

0:17:060:17:08

but one more question - the Lion.

0:17:080:17:10

That'll be for you, String Section.

0:17:100:17:12

MUSICAL NOTE Well, well, it's a music sequence,

0:17:120:17:15

so I want to know what you'd expect to hear as the fourth clue.

0:17:150:17:18

Here's the first.

0:17:180:17:20

ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS

0:17:200:17:25

It's a hymn.

0:17:300:17:32

Next, please.

0:17:320:17:34

ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS

0:17:340:17:38

THEY WHISPER

0:17:380:17:41

There's No Place Like Home, do you think?

0:17:410:17:44

There's No Place Like Home. Next, please.

0:17:440:17:46

ORCHESTRAL BALLAD PLAYS

0:17:460:17:49

-HE WHISPERS

-There's no place like home.

0:17:490:17:52

See The Conquering Hero Comes

0:17:520:17:54

is the original.

0:17:540:17:55

Three seconds.

0:17:560:17:58

Sorry?

0:17:580:18:01

Forever And Ever, Amen.

0:18:010:18:02

Forever And Ever, Amen.

0:18:030:18:05

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:18:050:18:06

Wayfarers, chance of a bonus point.

0:18:060:18:08

-Rule Britannia.

-Is the right answer.

0:18:080:18:10

-And why is that?

-It's the...

0:18:100:18:12

Fantasia On Sea shanties or...

0:18:120:18:14

On British Sea Songs, by Sir Henry Wood.

0:18:140:18:17

Next would be Rule Britannia.

0:18:170:18:19

I think I would normally ask you

0:18:190:18:20

if you could sing it, but we can

0:18:200:18:22

perhaps do better than that.

0:18:220:18:23

Perhaps they can have a go. Let's hear a bit of Rule Britannia.

0:18:230:18:26

THEY PLAY Rule Britannia

0:18:260:18:30

At the end of Round Two...

0:18:420:18:44

The guest string section have two points.

0:18:460:18:48

And we move on to our final pair of Connecting Walls for the series.

0:18:530:18:57

The first one will go to you, String Section.

0:18:570:18:59

You'll be going first.

0:18:590:19:00

Which would you like, Lion or Water?

0:19:000:19:02

-Let's have the Water this time, please, Victoria.

-OK.

0:19:020:19:05

You have 2.5 minutes to solve the Water Wall, starting now.

0:19:050:19:10

OK, well...

0:19:120:19:14

THEY WHISPER

0:19:140:19:16

-We have the alphabets.

-And that would be niet, no.

0:19:160:19:19

Yes, niet, nein...

0:19:190:19:22

Maybe nej and nao.

0:19:220:19:24

OK. That was easy.

0:19:240:19:26

Alphabets...

0:19:260:19:27

-That's going to be the end of a word.

-Yes.

0:19:290:19:32

Same with...

0:19:320:19:33

-For charities would be...

-Ends of charities in general?

0:19:360:19:39

THEY WHISPER

0:19:390:19:43

-Yes. But it looks like...

-That looks like an end as well.

0:19:430:19:46

We'll do it that way.

0:19:460:19:48

-BUZZ

-That could be an end.

0:19:480:19:50

-Maybe just very quickly...

-BUZZ

0:19:500:19:52

Do you want to do...? Or do should we do that one?

0:19:520:19:54

-BUZZ

-Let's just...

-No.

0:19:540:19:56

-BUZZ

-I don't think this is going to be it.

0:19:560:19:58

No, but we'll be out of tries if you do find the right one.

0:19:580:20:01

HE WHISPERS

0:20:010:20:04

On the nose.

0:20:040:20:06

Can you have on the nine, maybe?

0:20:060:20:08

-I haven't heard of it.

-No, I don't know. On the nerve, maybe?

0:20:080:20:10

-We can get on...

-On a nerve.

0:20:100:20:12

-On the nose...

-Nettle, nines...

0:20:120:20:15

-BUZZ

-Nope.

-Yeah, maybe.

0:20:150:20:17

I don't recognise that at all.

0:20:170:20:19

-Neither do I.

-You've got a minute.

0:20:190:20:21

I'd get rid of that. I'd go nerve, nape, nose, nine and see.

0:20:210:20:24

BUZZ THEY WHISPER

0:20:240:20:27

Nipa... Is that, like, the end of something or is that...?

0:20:270:20:30

That's pain.

0:20:300:20:32

OK...

0:20:320:20:34

What could be in...?

0:20:350:20:37

Well, if it is the end of stuff, it would be that one.

0:20:380:20:40

Pain...

0:20:400:20:41

-They seem a bit vague, though, don't they?

-They do.

0:20:430:20:46

BUZZ THEY WHISPER

0:20:460:20:48

-They look like...

-20 seconds.

0:20:500:20:52

Yeah. But we'll leave it, though.

0:20:520:20:55

-Let's do this one.

-No.

0:20:550:20:58

Good grief!

0:21:000:21:01

HE SIGHS

0:21:030:21:05

-Touch. You can touch a nerve.

-Five seconds.

0:21:050:21:08

-Touch a nerve.

-No, that's it.

0:21:090:21:12

You're out of time and the Wall is frozen.

0:21:120:21:14

But you found a group, no mean feat on this Wall.

0:21:140:21:17

I'll give you a point if you can tell me the connections,

0:21:170:21:19

starting ni-et or ne-et or ni-te.

0:21:190:21:22

No, in a variety of languages.

0:21:220:21:24

No, in a range of languages, that's right.

0:21:240:21:26

And of course, you can get points for the connections in the groups

0:21:260:21:29

you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall.

0:21:290:21:31

There you go, that's how it should've looked.

0:21:310:21:33

What about that green group?

0:21:330:21:35

-Oh!

-It's the ends of...

0:21:350:21:36

Is it...? Are they in Much Ado About Nothing?

0:21:360:21:39

But say Shakespeare.

0:21:390:21:40

Yes, cos... Ends of Shakespearean characters.

0:21:400:21:43

They are the ends of Shakespearean characters, very well done.

0:21:430:21:48

I'd love you to tell me something else if you can.

0:21:480:21:50

They all begin Leo.

0:21:500:21:51

If you put Leo at the start of all of them -

0:21:510:21:53

Leonato, Leonardo, Leontes, Leonine -

0:21:530:21:56

all end up in Shakespearean characters. Very well spotted.

0:21:560:21:58

-I didn't think you saw that at all during.

-No!

-No!

0:21:580:22:01

And what about the pink

0:22:010:22:02

or purple group?

0:22:020:22:03

You can get on someone's each of these, or touch on them.

0:22:040:22:09

I don't think you can get on someone's nape.

0:22:090:22:11

You're going to kick yourself, they're just parts of the body.

0:22:110:22:14

And the last light blue group...

0:22:140:22:16

They are...

0:22:180:22:20

Greek... Figures from Greek mythology.

0:22:200:22:22

They are not. They are plants.

0:22:220:22:24

But you did find one group and you

0:22:240:22:26

told me a couple of connections,

0:22:260:22:28

so that is three points.

0:22:280:22:29

Let's bring in the Wayfarers now, give them an equally horrible

0:22:290:22:32

final Connecting Wall and see what they can do about solving it.

0:22:320:22:36

It will be the Lion Wall for you.

0:22:360:22:38

2.5 minutes to solve it, starting now.

0:22:380:22:40

Mudra's father. Mark...

0:22:430:22:45

-That's mother.

-Mudra.

0:22:450:22:47

-Mudra.

-Moeder.

-Mere.

-No.

0:22:470:22:50

-BUZZ

-There's other mothers there as well.

0:22:500:22:53

-Matka?

-Matka, mere, mutter, mudra.

-BUZZ

0:22:530:22:56

Matka, mere, mutter and...

0:22:560:22:58

Oh, yes. Matthew, Mark...

0:22:590:23:02

Matthias?

0:23:030:23:05

-BUZZ

-No, it's doesn't work.

0:23:080:23:10

Mink, mash...

0:23:100:23:12

What's this? This looks like something upside down.

0:23:120:23:14

Cos of this dot at the end.

0:23:140:23:17

Looks as if it might be Sanskrit or something.

0:23:170:23:19

-Mamsa...

-Matsya?

0:23:190:23:22

Try it.

0:23:220:23:24

It's praying mantis...

0:23:250:23:27

-Three strikes, of course, plenty of time.

-Monster mash...

0:23:280:23:31

Molly Malone...

0:23:320:23:34

-Mink...

-Mink.

0:23:350:23:37

-Primary school mash.

-Mink is the animal.

0:23:400:23:44

-Yeah.

-Oh, and so is a martin. No, that's marten with an E, isn't it?

0:23:440:23:47

Mantis...

0:23:470:23:49

Martin and Mark,

0:23:510:23:52

we had that and it wasn't right.

0:23:520:23:54

We did Martin.

0:23:540:23:55

I can't see any mantis except praying mantis.

0:23:550:23:59

-I don't see any links to a praying mantis.

-No.

0:23:590:24:03

-Is it an anagram of anything?

-No.

0:24:030:24:04

THEY MUTTER

0:24:040:24:07

I think we're going to have to start...

0:24:090:24:11

-We've only got three guesses, haven't we?

-Yeah.

0:24:110:24:13

-Shall we go for...?

-So...

-30 seconds.

0:24:130:24:16

Ark, ink... No.

0:24:160:24:18

Ash.

0:24:180:24:19

Olly?

0:24:190:24:21

-BUZZ

-It was a long shot.

0:24:210:24:25

Antis, ink, ark, ash.

0:24:250:24:29

BUZZ

0:24:290:24:31

-Tin..

-One more go.

0:24:310:24:36

And ten seconds.

0:24:360:24:37

Nope, that's it.

0:24:390:24:42

You've had your three gos, and the Wall has frozen.

0:24:420:24:44

But you found two groups.

0:24:440:24:45

I'll give you points if you tell me the connections.

0:24:450:24:47

The first blue group, starting mutter.

0:24:470:24:50

They're all foreign words meaning mother.

0:24:500:24:52

That's right. Not mutter, of course, but Mutter.

0:24:520:24:54

The second green group. I'm not going to even try to pronounce it.

0:24:540:24:58

What's that?

Well, Sanskrit words for parts of states of India. Or...

0:25:000:25:04

I'm afraid they're not.

0:25:040:25:05

They are Sanskrit words, but they are for tantric rituals.

0:25:050:25:08

But I will give you points for

0:25:080:25:10

the connections in the groups

0:25:100:25:11

you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall.

0:25:110:25:14

There you go.

0:25:140:25:15

Coats.

0:25:170:25:18

-Nope.

-Fur coats.

-Nope, that's not it. You're going to kick yourselves.

0:25:190:25:23

They're just animals.

0:25:230:25:25

And the light blue group.

0:25:250:25:26

-Biblical characters?

-They're all Biblical characters.

0:25:280:25:31

You don't know Mash from the Book of Genesis?

0:25:310:25:33

A more obscure character, maybe, but they all are Biblical characters.

0:25:330:25:36

He's my favourite, yeah(!)

0:25:360:25:38

So, you found two groups and you gave me two connections as well,

0:25:380:25:41

so that is a total of four points.

0:25:410:25:43

Let's have a look at the scores.

0:25:430:25:45

Missing vowels time. This is where the championship will be decided.

0:25:520:25:58

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:25:580:26:01

The first group are all...

0:26:010:26:03

Wayfarers.

0:26:100:26:12

-Henry V, Damian Lewis.

-Not right, I'm afraid.

0:26:120:26:15

-String Section, do you know?

-Henry V and Damian Lewis.

0:26:150:26:17

No, that's not right either.

0:26:170:26:19

Next clue.

0:26:210:26:23

0:26:250:26:26

0:26:430:26:44

0:26:440:26:47

Well done. Next category.

-Would you like to know the specials?

0:27:290:27:31

Not it, I'm afraid. String Section?

0:27:310:27:33

That's right.

0:27:330:27:34

END TUNE PLAYS

0:27:340:27:39

No time for another clue

0:27:390:27:41

because the bell has gone for the end of the quiz.

0:27:410:27:43

And I can tell you that finishing with 15 points,

0:27:430:27:48

the new champions of Only Connect are...

0:27:480:27:51

the String Section!

0:27:510:27:53

THEY SIGH Very well done to you.

0:27:530:27:54

Extremely well quizzed.

0:27:540:27:56

Wayfarers, you're an honourable

0:27:560:27:58

second with 12 points.

0:27:580:27:59

Very good quizzing over there

0:27:590:28:01

as well. Well done, all of you.

0:28:010:28:02

You've had a really great run.

0:28:020:28:03

And you guys, particularly.

0:28:030:28:05

Many congratulations.

0:28:050:28:07

So that's it, the night is over and we have new champions.

0:28:070:28:11

Now for our fabulous closing ceremony,

0:28:110:28:13

and the string quartet is going to play us out.

0:28:130:28:16

I know, it's gone crazy.

0:28:160:28:17

That's the thing with television, the money is just mad.

0:28:170:28:20

A quartet in here, out the back, we've got

0:28:200:28:22

a full orchestra doing the catering.

0:28:220:28:24

In my dressing room, I no longer have a mirror,

0:28:240:28:26

I've got a trained mime wearing a perfect replica of my clothes.

0:28:260:28:31

These are the end times.

0:28:310:28:33

Goodbye.
