Hello and welcome to Only Connect, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
the quiz that's more confusing than Andy Murray in a T-shirt | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
with a George Cross on it - though not nearly as sexy. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
Although, having said that, let's meet the teams. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
On my right, Dan Jones, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
a Crown prosecutor who brews his own beer - a pale ale called Nunthorpe. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:42 | |
Raymond Baggaley, a wine enthusiast | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
who has built a model railway in his loft | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
and is nicknamed Yaya Choo-choo by relatives. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
And their captain, Pete Mitchell, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
a music teacher who plays in a rock band called The Typhoons, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
an acoustic band called The Twophoons | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
and a trio called Strum, Thump And Warble. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
United by a love of liquor, they are the Maltsters. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Nice solid group of drinkers - that's my kind of team. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Is there anything you CAN'T do? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
There are many things we can't do. Um, yeah. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
Any weaknesses? Any weaknesses as a team? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Not ones that we're willing to own up to at this stage, no. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Let's hope they don't become clear during the play of the quiz. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
You are facing tonight, on my left, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Helen Thomas, a fund manager | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
with a passion for 2p slot machines and air hockey. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
Robert Colvile, a freelance journalist and author, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
who was described by the Daily Mail as a totalitarian Maoist. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
And their captain, Robert McIlveen, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
a history and politics graduate | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
who has smuggled heroine into a prison - | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
as part of a test operation for sniffer dogs. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
United by a passion for policy, they are the Policy Wonks. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
How does your team know each other? What brings you here? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
Helen and I used to work together at a Think Tank in Westminster, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
at which Robert, here, used to come to a lot of the events we held. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Well, welcome to OUR Think Tank. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
I think you'll find it a little less social. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Let's get on with the quiz. Round One. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
What is the connection between four, apparently random clues? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Maltsters, you won the toss. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
You'll be going first. Please select a hieroglyph. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
-Two Reeds, please. -Two Reeds. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
OK, what is the connection between these clues? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
Here's the first. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
Ubaldo dove sei? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
That's Italian, isn't it? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
"Dove sei" means "Where are you?" | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Next, please. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
I think they're "Where's Wally?" | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
in different languages. Yeah? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
BELL | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Are they "Where's Wally?" in different languages? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
After two clues, you get 3 points. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
They absolutely are. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
What languages are we looking at? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-Er, the first one's Italian, I think. -That's right. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
He's called Ubaldo. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
-Swedish? -Swedish? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
-It's Norwegian, the second one. -Oh, Norwegian. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Um, is that Welsh? | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
It's beautiful Welsh, of course. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
-And German, finally. -Wo ist Walter? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
It's a scarier question in German, isn't it? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
I'm not telling you. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
I won't tell you where he is. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
"Where's Wally?" in different languages. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Well done, Maltsters, you get 3 points. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
And Policy Wonks, your chance to choose. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-Horned Viper, please. -The Horned Viper. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Ah, these are going to be picture clues. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
They have something in common. What is it? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Here's the first. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Next, please. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Next, please. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Next, please. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
They're all Dutch. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-We'll just buzz. -Three seconds. BUZZER | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
They're all paintings by Dutch artists. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
They are not all by Dutch artists, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
so Maltsters, you have the chance for a bonus point. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
Are they paintings with parents in the title? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
I'm afraid not. That's close. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
But for a bonus, not close enough. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
You're looking at Whistler's Mother. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-Is that the one you recognised? -Well, there's the... | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Is it Saturn Devouring His Children by Goya? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
And there's When Did You Last See Your Father? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
That's right and the first one's | 0:04:29 | 0:04:30 | |
Daughter of Jephthah, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
but they're not all parents. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
The first one is the daughter, | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
so we don't see parents in them all. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
-Very close but not quite enough for the bonus. -Oh, well. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
You may choose your own question. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
-Eye of Horus, please. -Eye of Horus. BELL | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
It's the music question. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
You'll be hearing the clues. What connects them? | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
First one coming in now. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
MUSIC: Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
Moonlight Serenade. Next, please. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
# Last night after strollin' | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
# We got in at half past nine | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
# Sittin' at the kitchen fire | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
# I asked her to be mine... # | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Next, please. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
# All right, hold on tight now | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
# It's down, down to the wire | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
# Set your hopes way too high | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
# The living's in the way we die... # | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
Three seconds. BUZZER | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
What do we think? Times of day or...? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
INAUDIBLE | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
I need an answer. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
They're all set in the evening | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
and involve moonlight. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Not all to do with the evening, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
so Policy Wonks, I'm going to play you a blast of the final clue. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
You get the chance of a bonus point. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
# I'll thank him for his work | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
# And your birth and... # | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Do you know the answer? | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
Are they all by Scottish artists? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
That's not it either. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
It is to do with light, but not the evening. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
Natural sources of illumination. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
The third clue, The Living Daylights. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
The one you didn't hear Sunshine On Leith. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
And the first one's Moonlight Serenade. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
And Roamin' In The Gloamin', which is a sort of twilight. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Natural sources of light. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
So, no points there, | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
but Policy Wonks, you may choose your own question. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-Water, please. -Water. What is the connection between these clues? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Here's the first. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
Next, please. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-I think we need to see another one. -Yeah? Next, please. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
Back street? Back alley? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Next, please. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
Three seconds. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
BUZZER | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
Do they all have prizes named after them? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
They do not all have prizes named after them, although a good guess. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
I like that one. Maltsters, another bonus chance. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
-Um, anything? -I can't think. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
I don't see anything. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
We have nothing, I'm afraid. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
Nothing? That's very interesting. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
These are all characters | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
who have attracted the attention | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
of the great playwright and filmmaker Mike Leigh. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
He has made films about Gilbert and Sullivan, | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
about the artist Turner. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
Vera Drake is the illegal abortionist, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
and that beautician and soiree hostess, of course, | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Beverly in the great Abigail's Party, his play and TV drama. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:44 | |
Mike Leigh characters and subjects. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
That was that one. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
OK, you may choose your own question. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
-Lion, please. -Lion. What is the connection between these clues? | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
Here's the first. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
Next, please. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Carla Lane sitcoms... There's a few. There's Bread, Butterflies. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
Shall we take another one? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Next, please. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
International Rescue Craft... | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
BUZZER | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
They're all something "birds". | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
They are all to do with birds. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
Mythical birds. Very well done. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
Coming in after three clues, you get 2 points. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
You didn't need to see the capital of Arizona. That's Phoenix. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
What are we looking at? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Um, the Carla Lane sitcom | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-would be The Liver Birds. -Mm-hmm. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Thunderbirds, International Rescue craft. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
-Yep. -Indonesian national airline? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
It's called Garuda. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
It's a sort of humanoid bird, | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
a religious symbol. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
But they all involve mythical birds. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Well done. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
Policy Wonks, there is one question remaining. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Your last chance for points | 0:08:53 | 0:08:54 | |
this round. It's the Twisted Flax. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
Very good luck. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
First clue coming in now. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
Next, please. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
Teddy bears... | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Shall we go for that? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
BUZZER | 0:09:13 | 0:09:14 | |
-Teddy bears. -Good gamble. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
Coming in after two clues, | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
you get 3 points. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
They all have ursine familiars. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Tell me about the clues | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
we're looking at. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
So, Grayson Perry has Alan Measles. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
Alan Measles is the great Grayson Perry's teddy bear god. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
Sebastien Flyte | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
-in Brideshead Revisited. -Mm-hmm. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Spotty Man is SuperTed's friend | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
or foe, I can't remember. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Friend. Very much a friend, yes. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
And, obviously, Christopher Robin | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
-has Pooh. -In Winnie-the-Pooh. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
They all have teddy bear friends. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
Very well done. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
That means, at the end of Round One... | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
Onto Round Two, the sequences round. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Maltsters, you'll be going first again, | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
so please choose a sequential question. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
-Um, Twisted Flax, please. -The Twisted Flax. OK. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
I would like to know what would come fourth in this sequence. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
Here's the first. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:08 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Next, please. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
They're all national capitals but that's not going to be enough. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
There's a sequence. Um... | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
They're not summits, something like that? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
We don't have anything to guess at what the last city might be? | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
Three seconds. BUZZER | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
Reykjavik? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
-I need an answer. -Reykjavik. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
Not the right answer, I'm afraid, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
so Policy Wonks, do you want a go? | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
-Moscow. -That is the right answer. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
-And why? -It's the capitals | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
of the four largest countries | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
by land area in reverse order, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
so going up to the largest country. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
That's right. The capitals of America, China, Canada and Russia. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
Capitals of the world's largest countries, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
the largest being Russia. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
So, you get a bonus point. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
You may choose your own question. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:15 | |
-Eye of Horus, please. -The Eye of Horus. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
What will come fourth in this sequence? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
Here's the first. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Next, please. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
Interesting. Get one more? | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
-Yeah. -Next, please. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
Sir Christopher Wren said, "I am going to dine with some men. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
"If anyone calls..." | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Let's get it right. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
"I'm at St Paul's." | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-BUZZER -I'm at St Paul's. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
It's a lovely guess, but I'm afraid it's not the right answer. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
So, Maltsters, you have the chance | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
of a bonus point. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:03 | |
I'll BE at St Paul's? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
No, that's basically the same guess, | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
but the words are absolutely key. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
You are right, it is a poem. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:12 | |
It is the Wren clerihew, which says, | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
"Sir Christopher Wren said, | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
'I'm going to dine with some men. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
'If anyone calls, | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
'Say I'm designing St Paul's'". | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
That is how that nice little poem ends. "Designing St Paul's." | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
Here's another one. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
"The people of Spain think Cervantes | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
"Equalled a half a dozen Dantes | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
"An opinion resented most bitterly | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
"By the people of Italy." | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |
Clerihews. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
Maltsters, you don't get a bonus | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
point but you may choose a question. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
-Um, Water, please. -Water. OK, what would come fourth in this sequence? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Here's the first. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Next, please. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |

Next, please. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
-Shall we say that? -Yeah. -BUZZER | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
After? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
Not the answer, I'm afraid, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
so another bonus option for you. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
It's "About". | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
Would be an acceptable answer. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
We've got Ancient Egyptian Sun God. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Why are they acceptable? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
It's "There", "Here", "Ere", "Re". | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
-You're taking a letter off each time. -That's it. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
So, something that stands for "Re", | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
so "About", | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
or the Ancient Egyptian Sun God. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
He's also Ra, he's known as Re. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
Let me tell you a great story | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
about the Sun God Re. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
I think you'll like this story, Dan. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:53 | |
He was angry with humanity, | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
so he turned his eye into a goddess | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
and sent her to wreak vengeance. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
But she was TOO vicious, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
there was too much killing, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:02 | |
so he thought, | 0:14:02 | 0:14:03 | |
"How am I going to stop her?" | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
So, he said, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:06 | |
"Come over here, Eye Goddess. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
I've got you some delicious | 0:14:07 | 0:14:08 | |
jugs of blood." | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
She loved blood. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
It wasn't really blood, it was beer | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
that contained pomegranate juice, | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
so it looked like blood. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:16 | |
So, she guzzled these jugs | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
and she was too drunk to finish the massacre. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
What do you think of that? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
Pomegranate beer. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:22 | |
Could be worth a go, yeah. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
I'll think about it, yeah. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
Who wouldn't want a jug of beer that looks like blood? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
Ooh, it might not be a big seller, but you never know. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
If anyone could bring me a pint now, that would be excellent. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
Well done. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
You get a bonus point for that answer | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
and you may choose your own question. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
-Two Reeds, please. -Two Reeds. What would come fourth in this sequence? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
It could be Merkel, I think. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
She's the best chance we've got. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
BUZZER | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
Angela Merkel. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:23 | |
Sorry, 2015: Angela Merkel. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
Is the right answer. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
Angela Merkel was the Time Person | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
of the Year in 2015. Very well done. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Maltsters, what would you like? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
-Lion, please. -Lion. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
OK, what would come fourth in this picture sequence? | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Here's the first. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
-What's her name? -I don't know. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
She was in War And Peace. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:49 | |

Yeah, shall we go with that? | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Who's the last one? | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
It's somebody Farthing? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
Is that what it's going to be? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
INAUDIBLE DICSUSSION | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Three seconds. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:21 | |
BUZZER | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
Can you think of anybody | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
-whose last name's Farthing? -No. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
I can't give you long to debate it. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Um, The Animals Of Farthing Wood. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
Why? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
We think they are pre-decimal coins, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
getting smaller in denomination, | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
starting with tuppence. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
I will accept that answer. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
We had a picture | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
of Timothy Farthing, | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
the vicar from Dad's Army. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
The Animals of Farthing Wood | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
would also do. Very well done. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
So, who are we looking at? | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
-It's Tuppence Middleton. -Mm-hmm. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
Penny Lancaster. Um... | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Jill Halfpenny. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
Our question editor spent a long time | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
poring over those pictures | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
to decide what was perfect. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:09 | |
Thank God there isn't a coin called the Lumley | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
or we'd have been looking at four identical clues! | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
Pre-decimal coins | 0:17:13 | 0:17:14 | |
and we're halving as we go along, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
so we wanted to hear the "Farthing" | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
at clue four. Well done. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:19 | |
Policy Wonks, | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
there's one question remaining, the Horned Viper. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
You'll be getting that. What would come fourth in this sequence? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
Here's the first. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
I recognise his name, but I can't... | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
-It feels sporty but I can't remember who he is. -Next, please. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |

Lynne? Lucy Lynne? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
Lynn Redgrave. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
Er, no... | 0:18:14 | 0:18:15 | |
Oh, I see, you're sort looking at... | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
But the alphabet doesn't go like that, | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
cos it's going I, U, O... | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
Not a sequence, I'm afraid. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
Maltsters, the last bonus chance | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-of the round. -Do we have an answer? | 0:18:24 | 0:18:25 | |
-Carol... -Kirkwood. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:28 | |
-Carol Kirkwood. -Carol Kirkwood. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
Is the right answer. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
My goodness, I didn't think | 0:18:33 | 0:18:34 | |
you were going to say that. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
Neither did we! | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Carol Kirkwood is one of many possible correct answers. Why? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-Why? -Are they weather presenters | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
on BBC Breakfast in sequence, | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
up to the current one? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:45 | |
-The sequence is channels. -Ah. -Oh, right. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
Liam Dutton is a weather presenter on Channel 4, | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
and we're going ITV or Channel 3, | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
Louise Lear on BBC2, | 0:18:53 | 0:18:54 | |
so someone who's a weather presenter on BBC1. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
Beautiful Carol Kirkwood | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
is an acceptable answer. Well done. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
That means, at the end of Round Two... | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
Time now for the Connecting Wall | 0:19:10 | 0:19:11 | |
and it'll be the Policy Wonks to go first this time, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
so please choose Lion or Water. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-Lion, please. -Lion. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
You have two and a half minutes to solve the Lion Wall, starting now. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
Fin Fang Foom is a fictional dragon. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Smaug is a fictional dragon. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
Puff is a fictional dragon. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
Also, pastry - Filo and Flaky. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
-And Shortcrust. -And Choux, indeed. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
-Rhaegal? -He's in Game Of Thrones. -BUZZ | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
Does anyone know what Omidyar is? | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Omidyar is the founder of eBay. I'm not quite sure what that stands for. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
Shall we try going for pastry? | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
Oh, Toothless is a fictional dragon as well. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:47 | |
BUZZ | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
-That's these ones. -Good. OK, right. Possible pastries. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
Let's put pastries to one side and think abut other things. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
Wales... | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
Appendix, Colophon... | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Ah, Appendix, Frontispiece and Page. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
BUZZ | 0:20:01 | 0:20:02 | |
Should be books, right? | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
-Spine. -Yeah, Spine, obviously. -BUZZ | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-Well... Oh, agreed. -Three strikes now. Be careful. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
We have the pastries | 0:20:10 | 0:20:11 | |
and the slightly strange ones which we are... | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
-So, we have five potential pastries. -Yes. -So... | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Larry Page founded Google, Jimmy Wales founded Wikipedia. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Pierre Omidyar founded eBay and... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
-And Mr Puff... -Mr Puff founded... | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
-No, Mr... -Well, Shortcrust, no. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
Filo, may be more of a likely name, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
surname. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
We're talking about surnames of... | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
Of company founders. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
That are tech companies. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:34 | |
I think it's probably Filo or Puff. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
We've got three chances so... | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
We're confident of those three. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:40 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. -So, Filo. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
That's it. You've solved the Wall. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
Very well done. And there are points available, | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
if you can tell me the connections. What about that first blue group? | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
I am not going to say that first clue | 0:20:50 | 0:20:51 | |
but what is the connection there? | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
They are all fictional dragons. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
-They are all dragons. You tell me how you say that first one. -Sm-owg? | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
-Sm-org. -Sm-org. -See, I think it's meant to be Sm-owg. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
From The Hobbit. I was looking at it on the internet | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
and, according to Benedict Cumberbatch, it's Sm-owg. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
-Well, he is the one to listen to. -Well, he IS Smaug, so... -Yeah. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-Fin Fang Foom - what's he from? -Marvel Comics. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-And then How To Train Your Dragon. -Exactly. -And then... | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
Rhaegal is one of the Game Of Thrones dragons. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
That's exactly right. All fictional... Well, I SAY fictional. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
-We ARE in Wales. All dragons. -Yes. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Whether it's documentary or not, we simply don't know. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
And what about the green group - | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
Colophon, Frontispiece, Spine, Appendix? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
These are all parts of books, I think we said. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
That's it. Parts of a book. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:33 | |
And the next group, starting Wales? | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
They're all founders of tech companies, websites. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
Of websites. David Filo is founder of Yahoo. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-That's the one you didn't know. -Cos Jerry Yang was the other guy. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
He was the cofounder with Jerry Yang, that's right. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
And what about the blue group - Choux, Flaky, Puff, Shortcrust? | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
-Pastry. -Simply types of pastry. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
So, that's all the groups and all the connections. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
You get a bonus for getting it all right. It's a maximum of 10. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
Let's bring in the Maltsters now, give them a new Connecting Wall. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
16 fresh clues still need sorting into four connected groups of four. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
You'll be getting the Water Wall. The lion's been taken. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
You have two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
Right, um... Records? | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
Turntable, Spindle... | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Tonearm, Spindle, Needle. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
-Speed selector? -Speed selector. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
Needle and spindle? | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
BUZZ | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
-No, OK, shall we try with Turntable? -Yeah. -And without needle? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
Yes. OK, good, so... | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
Have we got...? Have we got DJs, yeah? | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
-Nick Grimshaw. -Zoe Ball? -Breakfast Show presenters maybe. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
-And Chris Moyles. -Yeah. Radcliffe and Grimshaw did it, didn't he? | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
-Zoe Ball I think did. -OK. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
-Shall we try them? -BUZZ | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
-Mayo maybe? -Could be. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
BUZZ | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
BUZZ | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
-Grimshaw, Radcliffe? -BUZZ | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-OK, Read is there as well. -Mike Read. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
-BUZZ -Have we got any others there... | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
that we're thinking of? Um... | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
Stand, Read, Rogers... | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
Needle, Stand... | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
-Architects. -Architects? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |

Grimshaw? Yes! | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
Three strikes now. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:35 | |
OK, so, we've definitely got the DJs, haven't we? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
So, I would have thought that's Ball, Moyles, Read... | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
Oh, we've got Mayo and Radcliffe. What are the others? | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Needle, Gun, Stand... | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |

-Yeah. -Yeah? Shall we go for it? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
That's it. You've solved the Wall. Very well done. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
What about the connections? Tell me about the first blue group, | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
starting Tonearm or Ton-yarm. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Parts of a record deck, a record player. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
Yeah, parts of a record player. Any of you still got a record player? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
-ALL: -Yes. -All of us still have a record player. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
What about the green group, starting Piano? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
-Architects. -They are architects. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
-What are their first names? -Renzo Piano. -Mm-hmm. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |

-I'm not sure about Grimshaw. -I don't know Grimshaw. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
That's the one you didn't know. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:33 | |
You were thinking of a different category. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
-It's Sir Nicholas Grimshaw. The Eden Project is one of his. -Oh, yes. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |

The architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
What about the pink group, starting Ball? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
We think they can all be followed by "Point". | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
Ballpoint, gunpoint, needlepoint, standpoint. That's the word one. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
And the last turquoise group, starting Read. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
-Breakfast DJs? -Have they all done the Radio 1...? | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
Breakfast Show. I think so. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:00 | |

I can give you the maximum of 10. Let's have a look at the scores. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
So, it's a close one and it will be decided by the Missing Vowels round. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
In this round, we take the vowels | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
out of well-known names, phrases and sayings. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
We respace the consonants and I want to know | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
what those disguised clues are. Fingers on buzzers, teams. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
