0:01:06 > 0:01:08- which is about 12% of our viewers -
0:01:08 > 0:01:11may find your face familiar. Why would that be?
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Well, we came with my University Challenge team quite a few years
0:01:15 > 0:01:19ago to film a special against The Crossworders, who obviously
0:01:19 > 0:01:23trounced us, so I thought, "Come back and have a proper go."
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Excellent. I'm very impressed. This is real commitment.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27You've done a one-off special, and now you think,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30"All right, come on, let's do the full series."
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Good luck. Welcome back.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35This time around, you are facing, on my left,

0:02:04 > 0:02:06How does your team celebrate the Oscars?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Usually with hot dogs, lots of booze,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and betting against each other on the outcome.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13How much do you bet? At the moment, it's 50p.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16We might up it by 50p for next year. Just to keep it interesting.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Yeah, yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20We are going to play the quiz, starting with Round One.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23What is the connection between four apparently random clues?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Oscar Men, if you bet on the toss, you'd be victorious,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28because you won that. You'll be going first.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32We'll go with Two Reeds, please.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Two Reeds, OK. First of four clues coming up.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Shout next when you want another one. The time starts now.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Feather, West Yorkshire. Featherstone, maybe. Featherstone.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45OK, next, please.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51OK, these are places in the north. Places that end with stone.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Featherstone, Silverstone. Silverstone, it is, yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Shall we go for that? Yeah.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58BUZZ We think we're going to buzz
0:02:58 > 0:03:01on this one. Erm... Places that... No, stone.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03They're connected by stone.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05A confident opening buzz, and after
0:03:05 > 0:03:07two clues, you get three points.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09If you add "stone," you will get,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11as I'm sure you know,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13a village or town in that area.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15They are missing "stone".
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Very well done.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Part-Time Poets, what would you
0:03:18 > 0:03:20like? The Lion, please.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21The Lion question, OK. What is the
0:03:21 > 0:03:23connection between these clues?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Here's the first.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Queen Beatrix, Netherlands. Next, please.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Er... She was assassinated there?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Yeah. And also the head of state there? OK, maybe have another one?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yeah, next, please.
0:03:43 > 0:03:49Monarchs? Benazir Bhutto's not a monarch. No. She's a politician.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Do you think...? It might be where they were...
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Do you think we should see the last one?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Yeah, can we have the last one, please?
0:03:57 > 0:04:02OK, maybe first female head of states, and where. Three seconds.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05BUZZ Er, so, the first female
0:04:05 > 0:04:07head of state and the capital city?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09I'm afraid that's not it,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11so there's a bonus opportunity
0:04:11 > 0:04:12for the Oscar Men.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Er... Was Queen Beatrix assassinated?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I don't think they were. We're just going to go with,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19they were all assassinated in this particular city.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20They were not.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Now, what this is a selection of is
0:04:23 > 0:04:25airports named after women.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Now, three of them heads of state.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Indira Gandhi was assassinated,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31but Istanbul's airport is named
0:04:31 > 0:04:35after Turkey's first female combat pilot. Oh, wow! Wow!
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Yes, but women who have airports
0:04:36 > 0:04:38named after them is what
0:04:38 > 0:04:40we're looking at there.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41So you don't get the bonus,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Oscar Men, but you do get the chance to choose a question.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Er, we'll go with Twisted Flax, please. The Twisted Flax.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47It's a music question.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51What is the connection between these musical clues? Here's the first.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55# From beyond the moat, there arose such a clatter
0:04:55 > 0:04:58# I jumped to the window to see what was the matter. #
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Next, please. # Ashes to ashes, fun to funky,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05# We know Major Tom's a junkie
0:05:05 > 0:05:09# Strung out in heaven's high... # Next, please.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12# Please don't tell, no, no, no
0:05:12 > 0:05:15# Don't say that I told you so
0:05:15 > 0:05:18# I just heard a rumour from a friend
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Ash? Mash?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26# I don't say that it's true
0:05:26 > 0:05:30# I'll just leave that up to you. # Three seconds.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32BUZZ That's Peggy Sue Got Married.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Ooh, OK. I'll go for that. I can't give you long.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39We believe they all may contain the word "ash".
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I'm afraid they do not all
0:05:40 > 0:05:42contain the word "ash".
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I'm going to blast the final clue to
0:05:44 > 0:05:45the Part-Time Poets.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49# Round and round and up and down we go again. #
0:05:49 > 0:05:54The Twist. Dances, maybe? No, no, the second one isn't.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Ashes To Ashes. It's just Ashes.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58I need an answer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00No, that's too long, too long.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02What they all do is refer to
0:06:02 > 0:06:05previous songs. The key...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08That first one is NOT Monster Mash,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10it's Monsters Holiday. Oh!
0:06:10 > 0:06:11By the same artist,
0:06:11 > 0:06:12but it refers back to Monster Mash.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Ashes To Ashes, of course,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16"We know Major Tom's a junkie."
0:06:16 > 0:06:17That refers to Space Oddity.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Peggy Sue Got Married,
0:06:19 > 0:06:20that's Buddy Holly's great love,
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Peggy Sue, but he's heard the
0:06:21 > 0:06:22news she got married.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24The final one, Let's Twist Again,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26what does that refer to?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27The Twist. The Twist.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Chubby Checker's The Twist.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31And he's referring back to that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32It's sequels.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34My grandfather used to sing that to
0:06:34 > 0:06:35us when he dealt blackjack to us.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36If you took a card,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38he would sing "Let's twist again".
0:06:38 > 0:06:39But properly to win money.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Genuinely, he was trying to win
0:06:41 > 0:06:42our pocket money,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44so he could buy cigarettes and sweets,
0:06:44 > 0:06:45and he would sing the song happily
0:06:45 > 0:06:47to himself as he pocketed it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48God bless him.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50All songs that refer to previous
0:06:50 > 0:06:52songs by the same artist.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53So you don't get the bonus, Poets,
0:06:53 > 0:06:54but you do get a choice.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57The Eye of Horus, please. The Eye of Horus.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58These are going to be picture clues.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00What connects them? Here's the first.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Cold Case, cold cuts. Let's have... Next, please.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Mince pies?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Sausages, mince pies. Types of meat?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29But then they wouldn't have sausages... Oh, is it rhyming slang?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Plates of meat, mince pies.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yeah, good, go for it. What are they rhyming slangs for?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I can't remember all of them. Mince pies are eyes...
0:07:36 > 0:07:39BUZZ They're all Cockney rhyming slang.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40They are.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Can you tell me something else?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Parts of the body? For parts of the body, that's right.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46That first one is

0:07:48 > 0:07:49North And South, by Mrs Gaskill,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51for the mouth.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Plates of meat is the next one.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53This is a rarefied quiz.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I like to hear people muttering
0:07:56 > 0:07:57"salami, chorizo."
0:07:57 > 0:08:00It's just plates of meat. It's just ordinary meat, for the feet.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Mince pies, eyes, and what's that
0:08:01 > 0:08:02last one you didn't need?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Boat race, face. Boat race for the face, that's right.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07For coming in after three clues,

0:08:38 > 0:08:39but I don't know.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I don't have kids, but... Do you want to go...?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Might as well take the last one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Can we take the last one next, please?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51OK, Old Mother Shipton. OK, I think we've got this one.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17There are cave paintings
0:09:17 > 0:09:18that they left behind.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I mean, they'd be interesting
0:09:20 > 0:09:21characters on
0:09:21 > 0:09:24In The Night Garden, but in fact an ancient,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26ancient people who drew on the walls

0:09:54 > 0:09:56You didn't need to see

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Contestants on University Challenge
0:10:01 > 0:10:02over the years.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Here's a question that Stephen Fry
0:10:03 > 0:10:04got right - who partnered
0:10:04 > 0:10:07George Burns in the film version
0:10:07 > 0:10:08of The Sunshine Boys?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Nope. Who was it? ALL: Walter Matthau.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Of course, Walter Matthau. You must
0:10:11 > 0:10:13see that film, it's brilliant.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Do you know the story of David Aaronovitch on University Challenge?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19They only gave communist leaders as
0:10:19 > 0:10:20answers, didn't they?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22It was that team. So what happened?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23This is a great story,
0:10:23 > 0:10:24do you know this? Yeah.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26In those days, you could just go on
0:10:26 > 0:10:27University Challenge.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28There was no audition.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29You just wrote in and said,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31"Can we be on?" and they said "Yes."
0:10:31 > 0:10:32So they wrote to the
0:10:32 > 0:10:33University of Manchester,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35and the letter was mis-delivered, it didn't go to the Union,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37and fell into the hands of these
0:10:37 > 0:10:38communist students, who said,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39"Right, we'll do it."
0:10:39 > 0:10:40And they went on,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43and as a protest against elitism,
0:10:43 > 0:10:44they answered communist leaders
0:10:44 > 0:10:45for every question,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47but not all through the show,
0:10:47 > 0:10:48cos they ran out.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49And they couldn't think of any more,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51so they said Trotsky for
0:10:51 > 0:10:52seven or eight answers,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and then Bamber Gascoigne said,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56"You're just spoiling the quiz,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57"and we won't broadcast it."
0:10:57 > 0:10:58And then they sheepishly
0:10:58 > 0:10:59answered a few questions.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Got a score of 40.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03At the end of Round One,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05the Oscar Men have four points,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07the Part-Time Poets have five.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14What comes fourth in a sequence?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15I'll be asking that initially to the

0:11:36 > 0:11:40Yeah, Community Charge. Should we go for the next one?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Yeah. Can we go for the next, please?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Community Charge. OK.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47So what's it called now?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Community Charge. What's it called? Business rates? No.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56No, business rates is what? Well, it can't be business rates as well.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59That's not a sequence, is it? Well, it could be.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01It could be, going up. Three seconds.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05We're going to go with business rates.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Unfortunately, as I heard you say,
0:12:07 > 0:12:08not a sequence. Mm.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09That might be a category,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11but it's not a sequence.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13So there's a bonus chance, Poets.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15We think it might be the poll tax.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16I can't take it, because the
0:12:16 > 0:12:18poll tax is sort of slang for
0:12:18 > 0:12:19actually clue three that we're
0:12:19 > 0:12:20looking at. That's what I thought!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22It was the council tax.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I mean, some people do still say the
0:12:24 > 0:12:25poll tax, meaning the council tax,
0:12:25 > 0:12:26but technically,
0:12:26 > 0:12:27that would be clue three.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Council tax. It's successive local
0:12:30 > 0:12:31taxes levied in England and Wales.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Business rates is
0:12:32 > 0:12:34a different sort of thing,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36but the local taxes after the community charge,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38which is the one that was known, really, as the poll tax. Yeah.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Council tax was next.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41So you don't get the bonus,
0:12:41 > 0:12:42but you do get a choice.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46What would you like? Can we have Water, please? Water.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It's a music sequence. How lovely.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You'll be hearing the clues, but only three of them.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I want to know what you'd expect to hear at clue four.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56First piece of music coming in now.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02# She left me with no hope, # It's all gone up in smoke... #
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Next, please.
0:13:06 > 0:13:12ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
0:13:12 > 0:13:15# It's getting late, have you seen my mates?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18# Ma, tell me when the boys get here
0:13:18 > 0:13:20# It's seven o'clock, and I want to rock... #
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Oh, my goodness. The chorus is coming. Next, please.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26# Every day is silent and grey... #
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It's Every Day Is Like Sunday," so maybe it's Monday, Monday?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I Don't Like Mondays? Yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35BUZZ I Don't Like Mondays.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Would be an acceptable answer,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39well done. What did we hear?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Every Day Is Like Sunday, by Morrissey. Mm-hm.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44And then we just sort of decided a direction.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Oh, it was Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, by Elton John.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49That's what it was! That's right, Elton John.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51And unfortunately not Friday by Rebecca Black.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53No, it was She Left Me On Friday,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54by Shed Seven. OK.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55So we need to hear
0:13:55 > 0:13:57a song featuring Monday.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Could have been Manic Monday or
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Monday, Monday.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01You went with I Don't Like Mondays
0:14:01 > 0:14:02by The Boomtown Rats.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Unfortunately, we don't have
0:14:03 > 0:14:04a recording of that, but I don't
0:14:04 > 0:14:06see why the viewers shouldn't be
0:14:06 > 0:14:08able to enjoy a snatch of it anyway.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Let's go from the "tell me why."
0:14:10 > 0:14:11One, two, three.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14# (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
0:14:14 > 0:14:17# (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays. #
0:14:17 > 0:14:19That was lovely.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20I think you could form
0:14:20 > 0:14:22a fantastic six-part supergroup.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24You might work a little bit on the
0:14:24 > 0:14:25timing, but the harmonies
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- beautiful. That's cheered up my
0:14:27 > 0:14:28evening no end. Very well done.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I'd give you 12 points if I could,
0:14:30 > 0:14:31and bonus ones for you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I can't, but Oscar Men, I may offer
0:14:34 > 0:14:36you a choice. Lion, please. Lion.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Next, please.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Lesbos, so they're getting smaller, aren't they? I'm not sure.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Well, Crete's got to be the biggest, hasn't it? We'll go next, please?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Wait, can't we...?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03It's going smaller. They are getting smaller. Kos? Could be Kos.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07What about where... Where whats-his-name's from?
0:15:07 > 0:15:13Corfu. Corfu. What do you want to go for? Either Corfu or Crete or Kos.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Well, it can't be Crete if it's going smaller, can it? OK.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19BUZZ We're going for the Greek islands.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I think they're probably going from large to small,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24so we're going to go with Kos.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'm afraid that's not the answer,
0:15:26 > 0:15:27so there's a bonus chance for you,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Part-Time Poets.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31One that he said. Well, we'll try Crete.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Unfortunately for you,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34they're getting larger,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36and the answer is Crete.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Well done, you get the bonus point.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And your choice of a question.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42The Two Reeds, please. Two Reeds.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46What will come fourth in this little sequence? Here's the first.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Counter-intelligence. Oh, it's "MI"s. MI5. Go for the second one.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Next, please.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55So is that MI6?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59No, hang on, is it...? It's this...
0:16:01 > 0:16:02What are we thinking?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Counter-intelligence, terrorism.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I think it's the name of something.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It's not like Cobra, but you know.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11We should maybe get another one.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12All right. Next, please.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Oh, OK. It's a different thing.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17There is no MIRevenge.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Terrorism, Revenge. Tragedy?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23It's going to be, like, an acronym or something. Three seconds.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Buzz, buzz, buzz. BUZZ
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Erm... Organised crime?
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Not an answer I can take,
0:16:30 > 0:16:31I'm afraid, so there's a bonus
0:16:31 > 0:16:33chance for you now, Oscar Men.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Well, it's film-related. It's a Bond thing, I think.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I think these are the initials for SPECTRE,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and the last one being E for Extortion.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Very well done.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43It is organised crime in a way,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45but very specifically,
0:16:45 > 0:16:46it's got to start with an E,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48because we're talking about the
0:16:48 > 0:16:49SPecial Executive for
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Counter-intelligence, Terrorism,
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Revenge and Extortion,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54known as SPECTRE.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56It's our obligatory Bond question.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57We have to have some of
0:16:57 > 0:16:58those every series.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59What do you think of SPECTRE,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01the new Bond film?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02I liked it, yeah. Really good.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03I feel like it's much better. Yeah.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05That terrible one about the oil,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07or the water, whatever it was,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Quantum Of Solace, nonsense. Quantum Of Solace. Terrible. Ugh!
0:17:10 > 0:17:11I need that day of my life back.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13SPECTRE was really good fun again.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Yeah. Who runs SPECTRE?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Blofeld. Ernst Blofeld, of course.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Excellent fellow.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Well done, you get the bonus point,
0:17:23 > 0:17:24and you way choose a question.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27We're going to go for Twisted Flax, please. Twisted Flax.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29What...? Ah, these are going to be picture clues.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32What sort of thing would you expect to see in the last picture?
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Here's the first.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Coins, yeah. Can't see what the country is.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I think it might be Greece.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Might be Turkish, actually. Next, please.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Right. It's a lion.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Is it called Leo?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53That's the MGM logo.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Is it? Yeah.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Next one, please.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02That's a lay. What? A lay. L A Y.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08Leo. Lire! Lire, Leo, lay. So... Three seconds.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14BUZZ Right, so we've got lire.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17L I R, L E O... I need an answer.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22We believe it might be lip. L I P.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Not the answer, I'm afraid,
0:18:23 > 0:18:24so another bonus
0:18:24 > 0:18:26opportunity for the poets.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29So lei is L E I. Yeah. I need an answer.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32L... E O. L E U. L E U.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34No, it's too long. Saint-Leu?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Sorry? Saint-Leu.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Can't do that, I'm afraid,
0:18:37 > 0:18:38because in fact,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41that first picture is the well-known
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Romanian currency, the leu.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Oh, that's the U.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Then we've got Leo, the MGM lion,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48then lei, so it's L E... Leek.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50..U, O, I, Lee. You know,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52the author Harper Lee, for example.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53It's just something L E E,
0:18:53 > 0:18:54that's what we needed,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57so you were fumbling around in the
0:18:57 > 0:18:58area, but not quite on it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'm remembering my wedding night.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02One question remaining for you,
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Poets, the Horned Viper.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05What will come fourth in this
0:19:05 > 0:19:07sequence? Here's the first.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Beyonce... What is that? 47.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16OK. Next, please.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Bruno Mars. 48.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Er, next.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Oh, Super Bowls, so it was Beyonce again, wasn't it? Was it?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Yes, cos she just did the last one. It was this year. OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Beyonce, XL... No, it would just be L. Yeah. Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37BUZZ Beyonce = L.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Not the answer, I'm afraid,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40so back to the Oscar Men
0:19:40 > 0:19:41for another bonus chance.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Wasn't it Coldplay? And Beyonce came on.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48OK, we'll go with Coldplay, and X... With L. L.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I will accept Coldplay,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53with L or 50.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Now, you know this is Super Bowl performances.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Beyonce was a special guest,
0:19:57 > 0:19:58but these are specifically the
0:19:58 > 0:19:59headliners. Oh, OK.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01So Beyonce headlined at
0:20:01 > 0:20:03the 47th Super Bowl in 2013,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05then we have Bruno Mars, Katy Perry,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and Coldplay at the 50th one.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Funnily enough,
0:20:08 > 0:20:09they don't write it with an L.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10If you look back at the
0:20:10 > 0:20:12branding for that one,
0:20:12 > 0:20:13because they felt in America that
0:20:13 > 0:20:16"Super Bowl L" would confuse people,
0:20:16 > 0:20:17so they put 50.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Even though they are going to,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20for the next one, go back to LI.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21So "Super Bowlli"
0:20:21 > 0:20:22is OK, but "Super Bowll," no,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24so they wrote it with a 50.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26But Coldplay were the headline act.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well done for the bonus.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30That means, at the end of Round Two,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32the Oscar Men have six points,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34the Part-Time Poets have eight.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Time now for the Connecting Wall, and it'll be the Part-Time Poets
0:20:40 > 0:20:44who go first this time, so you have a choice, Lion or Water?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45We'd like the Lion Wall, please.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48OK, you have two and a half minutes to solve the Lion Wall,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50starting now.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57OK, so Walk The Line is a... Is a biopic about Johnny Cash.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Yeah, with Joaquin Phoenix in.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Also a Johnny Cash song. OK. I'm seeing lotus.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11Lotus, moon? No. Lotus. Crescent moon. Deadly nightshade.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13That's a position. Those are positions. Oh, yeah, good one.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Right, yoga positions. Hunter as well. Crescent moon? Yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20BUZZ No. OK, let's try again. Mountain.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23BUZZ OK.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I don't know if crescent moon actually is one, by the way.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29OK, no, me either. We tried that. Maybe try cobra?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Try power. Power. Yeah, power stance.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35OK, what else have we got? Jet black, mud brown...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Wild... Election.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Election special. Deadly nightshade. Election night. Electric Six.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Electric...power?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49No. Power plant.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Saracens, cobras. No, Saracen, Cobra, Jet, and Hunter.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Oh, Gladiators! They're all Gladiators! Right, OK.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05So Jet is one. Nightshade was one. Let's try without Cobra.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06No, let's try without Jet.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yes! OK.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Jet pack. Six pack, mud pack.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Power pack. Power pack.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Expansion pack. Yeah, OK, try it without power.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Right, try it without jet.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Try it without six.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24And try it without mud.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Yes, OK. Three strikes and you're out, now.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29OK. So now we've got this film, Walk The Line.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Or song Walk The Line, Johnny Cash song. Oh, Reese Witherspoon films.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34She was in Election.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37She was in Walk The Line, she was in Wild. And Mud.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41You've solved the Wall! Well done, that's four points immediately.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43What about the connections?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Tell me about the first blue group, starting Cobra.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50They were all Gladiators of the 1990s.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54That's right, the original series. 1992-2000. They're Gladiators.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58The green group. Power, Jet, Six, Expansion.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Can be followed by "pack." They can all be followed by "pack."
0:23:01 > 0:23:04And the next group, starting Wild.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07They are films with Reese Witherspoon in them. That's right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Wild, Election, Walk The Line, and Mud,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11all featured the actor Reese Witherspoon.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And the final turquoise group - Mountain, Cow-Face,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Lotus, Crescent Moon.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I would go for yoga. Yoga poses.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22They're yoga positions. That's absolutely right, very well done.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24So that's all the connections, as well as the groups.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I can give you a maximum of ten points.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Let's bring in the Oscar Men now, give them a Wall,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31and see what they can do about solving it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It's the Water Wall that remains for you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Two and a half minutes, of course, starting now.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41OK. Adze, that's a kind of cutting plate, isn't it? Yeah. Woodwork.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Chisel. Durian's a fruit as well.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49OK, shall we go for jigsaw, adze, bradawl, and plane?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51BUZZ
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Chisel. Chisel, bradawl, adze, jigsaw.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56BUZZ Adze, chisel, bradawl, plane.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58OK, we've got that one.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Rambutan and durian, they're fruits, and avocado's a fruit.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04We'll go for those ones, try that. BUZZ
0:24:04 > 0:24:07OK. Go for mango, avocado there. BUZZ
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Rambutan, ooh.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13BUZZ OK, we're missing one out, are we?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I think durian, avocado. Try that, OK, good.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Three strikes now. OK.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24So, these are types of puzzles, OK? And women's clothing places, so...
0:24:24 > 0:24:26OK, we know Jigsaw is as well.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29So that's the one that's crossover. Monsoon, Oasis.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31We know tangram, KenKen and the crossword, right?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34OK, so the next one we need to go for...
0:24:34 > 0:24:37There's women's clothing outlets, and there's puzzles,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39so Jigsaw is probably most likely to go in that.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45We've got Monsoon, Oasis, Mango and Tentaizu. Could be a puzzle as well.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46BUZZ
0:24:46 > 0:24:48OK, so it's that, tangram, KenKen, crossword.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51That's it, you've solved the Wall. Very well done.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55What about the connections? Chisel, Adze, Bradawl, Plane.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Yeah, they're all types of tools. They're woodworking tools.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01The Adze, of course, so beloved of Scrabble players,
0:25:01 > 0:25:02with or without the E.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06So useful. And the green group, starting Rambutan?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09They're all fruits. They are. All exotic fruits, really.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Our question editor says, "The durian is a large, oval,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16"tasty but foul-smelling fruit with a prickly rind."
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Takes one to know one, I would say. Takes one to know one.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23The rambutan is a sort of round, prickly red Malayan fruit.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25And the next group, starting Tangram, what's that?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28They're all types of puzzles. Exactly.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Quizzers should always appreciate the range of puzzles in
0:25:31 > 0:25:32the world. That's four of them.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36And the last group - Jigsaw, Monsoon, Oasis, Mango.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Having two sisters, this has helped me out.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40They are women's fashion outlets.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Women's clothing stores, that's absolutely right.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44So, all the groups, all the connections,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46that's a maximum of ten.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Let's have a look at the scores.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50The Oscar Men have 16 points,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53the Part-Time Poets have 18 points.
