Hello and welcome to Only Connect,

0:00:210:00:23

the quiz that's more confusing than Andy Murray in a T-shirt

0:00:230:00:26

with a George Cross on it - though not nearly as sexy.

0:00:260:00:30

Although, having said that, let's meet the teams.

0:00:300:00:34

On my right, Dan Jones,

0:00:340:00:37

a Crown prosecutor who brews his own beer - a pale ale called Nunthorpe.

0:00:370:00:42

Raymond Baggaley, a wine enthusiast

0:00:420:00:45

who has built a model railway in his loft

0:00:450:00:48

and is nicknamed Yaya Choo-choo by relatives.

0:00:480:00:51

And their captain, Pete Mitchell,

0:00:510:00:53

a music teacher who plays in a rock band called The Typhoons,

0:00:530:00:57

an acoustic band called The Twophoons

0:00:570:01:00

and a trio called Strum, Thump And Warble.

0:01:000:01:03

United by a love of liquor, they are the Maltsters.

0:01:030:01:06

Nice solid group of drinkers - that's my kind of team.

0:01:060:01:09

Is there anything you CAN'T do?

0:01:090:01:11

There are many things we can't do. Um, yeah.

0:01:110:01:15

Any weaknesses? Any weaknesses as a team?

0:01:150:01:17

Not ones that we're willing to own up to at this stage, no.

0:01:170:01:20

Let's hope they don't become clear during the play of the quiz.

0:01:200:01:24

You are facing tonight, on my left,

0:01:240:01:26

Helen Thomas, a fund manager

0:01:260:01:29

with a passion for 2p slot machines and air hockey.

0:01:290:01:33

Robert Colvile, a freelance journalist and author,

0:01:330:01:36

who was described by the Daily Mail as a totalitarian Maoist.

0:01:360:01:41

And their captain, Robert McIlveen,

0:01:410:01:43

a history and politics graduate

0:01:430:01:45

who has smuggled heroine into a prison -

0:01:450:01:48

as part of a test operation for sniffer dogs.

0:01:480:01:51

United by a passion for policy, they are the Policy Wonks.

0:01:510:01:54

How does your team know each other? What brings you here?

0:01:540:01:57

Helen and I used to work together at a Think Tank in Westminster,

0:01:570:02:01

at which Robert, here, used to come to a lot of the events we held.

0:02:010:02:04

Well, welcome to OUR Think Tank.

0:02:040:02:07

I think you'll find it a little less social.

0:02:070:02:09

Let's get on with the quiz. Round One.

0:02:090:02:12

What is the connection between four, apparently random clues?

0:02:120:02:14

Maltsters, you won the toss.

0:02:140:02:16

You'll be going first. Please select a hieroglyph.

0:02:160:02:19

-Two Reeds, please.

-Two Reeds.

0:02:190:02:21

OK, what is the connection between these clues?

0:02:210:02:24

Here's the first.

0:02:240:02:25

Ubaldo dove sei?

0:02:270:02:29

That's Italian, isn't it?

0:02:290:02:30

"Dove sei" means "Where are you?"

0:02:300:02:32

Next, please.

0:02:340:02:36

I think they're "Where's Wally?"

0:02:390:02:40

in different languages. Yeah?

0:02:400:02:42

BELL

0:02:420:02:44

Are they "Where's Wally?" in different languages?

0:02:440:02:46

After two clues, you get 3 points.

0:02:460:02:48

They absolutely are.

0:02:480:02:50

What languages are we looking at?

0:02:500:02:52

-Er, the first one's Italian, I think.

-That's right.

0:02:520:02:55

He's called Ubaldo.

0:02:570:02:58

-Swedish?

-Swedish?

0:02:580:03:00

-It's Norwegian, the second one.

-Oh, Norwegian.

0:03:000:03:02

Um, is that Welsh?

0:03:020:03:04

It's beautiful Welsh, of course.

0:03:040:03:06

-And German, finally.

-Wo ist Walter?

0:03:060:03:09

It's a scarier question in German, isn't it?

0:03:090:03:11

I'm not telling you.

0:03:110:03:12

I won't tell you where he is.

0:03:120:03:14

"Where's Wally?" in different languages.

0:03:140:03:16

Well done, Maltsters, you get 3 points.

0:03:160:03:18

And Policy Wonks, your chance to choose.

0:03:180:03:20

-Horned Viper, please.

-The Horned Viper.

0:03:200:03:22

Ah, these are going to be picture clues.

0:03:220:03:24

They have something in common. What is it?

0:03:240:03:27

Here's the first.

0:03:270:03:28

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:03:310:03:33

Next, please.

0:03:330:03:35

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:03:370:03:39

Next, please.

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:03:440:03:47

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:03:480:03:50

Next, please.

0:03:520:03:54

They're all Dutch.

0:03:570:03:59

-We'll just buzz.

-Three seconds. BUZZER

0:04:020:04:04

They're all paintings by Dutch artists.

0:04:040:04:07

They are not all by Dutch artists,

0:04:070:04:09

so Maltsters, you have the chance for a bonus point.

0:04:090:04:11

Are they paintings with parents in the title?

0:04:110:04:15

I'm afraid not. That's close.

0:04:150:04:17

But for a bonus, not close enough.

0:04:170:04:19

You're looking at Whistler's Mother.

0:04:190:04:21

-Is that the one you recognised?

-Well, there's the...

0:04:210:04:23

Is it Saturn Devouring His Children by Goya?

0:04:230:04:26

And there's When Did You Last See Your Father?

0:04:260:04:29

That's right and the first one's

0:04:290:04:30

Daughter of Jephthah,

0:04:300:04:32

but they're not all parents.

0:04:320:04:33

The first one is the daughter,

0:04:330:04:35

so we don't see parents in them all.

0:04:350:04:37

-Very close but not quite enough for the bonus.

-Oh, well.

0:04:370:04:41

You may choose your own question.

0:04:410:04:43

-Eye of Horus, please.

-Eye of Horus. BELL

0:04:430:04:46

It's the music question.

0:04:460:04:48

You'll be hearing the clues. What connects them?

0:04:480:04:50

First one coming in now.

0:04:500:04:52

MUSIC: Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller

0:04:520:04:54

Moonlight Serenade. Next, please.

0:04:540:04:58

# Last night after strollin'

0:05:020:05:04

# We got in at half past nine

0:05:040:05:07

# Sittin' at the kitchen fire

0:05:070:05:09

# I asked her to be mine... #

0:05:090:05:12

Next, please.

0:05:120:05:14

# All right, hold on tight now

0:05:140:05:18

# It's down, down to the wire

0:05:180:05:21

# Set your hopes way too high

0:05:210:05:25

# The living's in the way we die... #

0:05:250:05:29

Three seconds. BUZZER

0:05:290:05:31

What do we think? Times of day or...?

0:05:310:05:33

INAUDIBLE

0:05:330:05:35

I need an answer.

0:05:350:05:37

They're all set in the evening

0:05:370:05:39

and involve moonlight.

0:05:390:05:41

Not all to do with the evening,

0:05:410:05:44

so Policy Wonks, I'm going to play you a blast of the final clue.

0:05:440:05:48

You get the chance of a bonus point.

0:05:480:05:50

# I'll thank him for his work

0:05:500:05:53

# And your birth and... #

0:05:540:05:57

Do you know the answer?

0:05:570:05:58

Are they all by Scottish artists?

0:05:580:06:00

That's not it either.

0:06:000:06:02

It is to do with light, but not the evening.

0:06:020:06:05

Natural sources of illumination.

0:06:050:06:07

The third clue, The Living Daylights.

0:06:070:06:10

The one you didn't hear Sunshine On Leith.

0:06:100:06:12

And the first one's Moonlight Serenade.

0:06:120:06:14

And Roamin' In The Gloamin', which is a sort of twilight.

0:06:140:06:16

Natural sources of light.

0:06:160:06:18

So, no points there,

0:06:180:06:20

but Policy Wonks, you may choose your own question.

0:06:200:06:22

-Water, please.

-Water. What is the connection between these clues?

0:06:220:06:25

Here's the first.

0:06:250:06:27

Next, please.

0:06:280:06:30

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:06:330:06:36

-I think we need to see another one.

-Yeah? Next, please.

0:06:380:06:41

Back street? Back alley?

0:06:430:06:45

Next, please.

0:06:490:06:51

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:06:530:06:57

Three seconds.

0:07:020:07:03

BUZZER

0:07:030:07:05

Do they all have prizes named after them?

0:07:050:07:07

They do not all have prizes named after them, although a good guess.

0:07:070:07:11

I like that one. Maltsters, another bonus chance.

0:07:110:07:14

-Um, anything?

-I can't think.

0:07:140:07:16

I don't see anything.

0:07:160:07:18

We have nothing, I'm afraid.

0:07:180:07:21

Nothing? That's very interesting.

0:07:210:07:23

These are all characters

0:07:230:07:24

who have attracted the attention

0:07:240:07:26

of the great playwright and filmmaker Mike Leigh.

0:07:260:07:30

He has made films about Gilbert and Sullivan,

0:07:300:07:32

about the artist Turner.

0:07:320:07:34

Vera Drake is the illegal abortionist,

0:07:340:07:36

and that beautician and soiree hostess, of course,

0:07:360:07:38

Beverly in the great Abigail's Party, his play and TV drama.

0:07:380:07:44

Mike Leigh characters and subjects.

0:07:440:07:46

That was that one.

0:07:460:07:48

OK, you may choose your own question.

0:07:480:07:49

-Lion, please.

-Lion. What is the connection between these clues?

0:07:490:07:53

Here's the first.

0:07:530:07:55

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:07:570:07:59

Next, please.

0:08:000:08:02

Carla Lane sitcoms... There's a few. There's Bread, Butterflies.

0:08:040:08:07

Shall we take another one?

0:08:070:08:09

Next, please.

0:08:090:08:11

International Rescue Craft...

0:08:110:08:13

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:08:130:08:16

BUZZER

0:08:190:08:21

They're all something "birds".

0:08:210:08:23

They are all to do with birds.

0:08:230:08:25

Mythical birds. Very well done.

0:08:250:08:26

Coming in after three clues, you get 2 points.

0:08:260:08:28

You didn't need to see the capital of Arizona. That's Phoenix.

0:08:280:08:31

What are we looking at?

0:08:310:08:33

Um, the Carla Lane sitcom

0:08:330:08:35

-would be The Liver Birds.

-Mm-hmm.

0:08:350:08:37

Thunderbirds, International Rescue craft.

0:08:370:08:39

-Yep.

-Indonesian national airline?

0:08:390:08:41

It's called Garuda.

0:08:410:08:43

It's a sort of humanoid bird,

0:08:430:08:45

a religious symbol.

0:08:450:08:47

But they all involve mythical birds.

0:08:470:08:49

Well done.

0:08:490:08:51

Policy Wonks, there is one question remaining.

0:08:510:08:53

Your last chance for points

0:08:530:08:54

this round. It's the Twisted Flax.

0:08:540:08:56

Very good luck.

0:08:560:08:57

First clue coming in now.

0:08:570:08:59

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:09:010:09:03

Next, please.

0:09:030:09:05

Teddy bears...

0:09:080:09:10

Shall we go for that?

0:09:100:09:13

BUZZER

0:09:130:09:14

-Teddy bears.

-Good gamble.

0:09:140:09:16

Coming in after two clues,

0:09:160:09:18

you get 3 points.

0:09:180:09:19

They all have ursine familiars.

0:09:190:09:21

Tell me about the clues

0:09:210:09:22

we're looking at.

0:09:220:09:23

So, Grayson Perry has Alan Measles.

0:09:230:09:25

Alan Measles is the great Grayson Perry's teddy bear god.

0:09:250:09:29

Sebastien Flyte

0:09:290:09:31

-in Brideshead Revisited.

-Mm-hmm.

0:09:310:09:33

Spotty Man is SuperTed's friend

0:09:330:09:35

or foe, I can't remember.

0:09:350:09:37

Friend. Very much a friend, yes.

0:09:370:09:39

And, obviously, Christopher Robin

0:09:390:09:40

-has Pooh.

-In Winnie-the-Pooh.

0:09:400:09:42

They all have teddy bear friends.

0:09:420:09:44

Very well done.

0:09:440:09:45

That means, at the end of Round One...

0:09:450:09:48

Onto Round Two, the sequences round.

0:09:540:09:57

Maltsters, you'll be going first again,

0:09:570:09:59

so please choose a sequential question.

0:09:590:10:01

-Um, Twisted Flax, please.

-The Twisted Flax. OK.

0:10:010:10:04

I would like to know what would come fourth in this sequence.

0:10:040:10:07

Here's the first.

0:10:120:10:13

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:10:130:10:16

Next, please.

0:10:190:10:21

They're all national capitals but that's not going to be enough.

0:10:260:10:29

There's a sequence. Um...

0:10:290:10:31

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:10:320:10:34

They're not summits, something like that?

0:10:340:10:37

We don't have anything to guess at what the last city might be?

0:10:410:10:44

Three seconds. BUZZER

0:10:450:10:48

Reykjavik?

0:10:480:10:49

-I need an answer.

-Reykjavik.

0:10:490:10:52

Not the right answer, I'm afraid,

0:10:520:10:54

so Policy Wonks, do you want a go?

0:10:540:10:56

-Moscow.

-That is the right answer.

0:10:560:10:58

-And why?

-It's the capitals

0:10:580:10:59

of the four largest countries

0:10:590:11:01

by land area in reverse order,

0:11:010:11:02

so going up to the largest country.

0:11:020:11:04

That's right. The capitals of America, China, Canada and Russia.

0:11:040:11:07

Capitals of the world's largest countries,

0:11:070:11:10

the largest being Russia.

0:11:100:11:13

So, you get a bonus point.

0:11:130:11:14

You may choose your own question.

0:11:140:11:15

-Eye of Horus, please.

-The Eye of Horus.

0:11:150:11:18

What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:11:180:11:20

Here's the first.

0:11:200:11:21

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:11:230:11:26

Next, please.

0:11:280:11:30

Interesting. Get one more?

0:11:320:11:35

-Yeah.

-Next, please.

0:11:350:11:37

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:11:430:11:46

Sir Christopher Wren said, "I am going to dine with some men.

0:11:460:11:49

"If anyone calls..."

0:11:490:11:51

Let's get it right.

0:11:510:11:52

"I'm at St Paul's."

0:11:520:11:54

-BUZZER

-I'm at St Paul's.

0:11:540:11:57

It's a lovely guess, but I'm afraid it's not the right answer.

0:11:570:12:00

So, Maltsters, you have the chance

0:12:000:12:02

of a bonus point.

0:12:020:12:03

I'll BE at St Paul's?

0:12:050:12:07

No, that's basically the same guess,

0:12:070:12:09

but the words are absolutely key.

0:12:090:12:11

You are right, it is a poem.

0:12:110:12:12

It is the Wren clerihew, which says,

0:12:120:12:14

"Sir Christopher Wren said,

0:12:140:12:15

'I'm going to dine with some men.

0:12:150:12:17

'If anyone calls,

0:12:170:12:19

'Say I'm designing St Paul's'".

0:12:190:12:21

That is how that nice little poem ends. "Designing St Paul's."

0:12:210:12:24

Here's another one.

0:12:240:12:26

"The people of Spain think Cervantes

0:12:260:12:29

"Equalled a half a dozen Dantes

0:12:290:12:31

"An opinion resented most bitterly

0:12:310:12:33

"By the people of Italy."

0:12:330:12:34

Clerihews.

0:12:340:12:37

Maltsters, you don't get a bonus

0:12:380:12:40

point but you may choose a question.

0:12:400:12:42

-Um, Water, please.

-Water. OK, what would come fourth in this sequence?

0:12:420:12:45

Here's the first.

0:12:490:12:52

Next, please.

0:13:060:13:08

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:13:100:13:13

-Shall we say that?

-Yeah.

-BUZZER

0:13:220:13:25

After?

0:13:250:13:26

Not the answer, I'm afraid,

0:13:260:13:28

so another bonus option for you.

0:13:280:13:30

It's "About".

0:13:300:13:31

Would be an acceptable answer.

0:13:310:13:33

We've got Ancient Egyptian Sun God.

0:13:330:13:36

Why are they acceptable?

0:13:360:13:37

It's "There", "Here", "Ere", "Re".

0:13:370:13:39

-You're taking a letter off each time.

-That's it.

0:13:390:13:41

So, something that stands for "Re",

0:13:410:13:43

so "About",

0:13:430:13:45

or the Ancient Egyptian Sun God.

0:13:450:13:47

He's also Ra, he's known as Re.

0:13:470:13:49

Let me tell you a great story

0:13:490:13:50

about the Sun God Re.

0:13:500:13:52

I think you'll like this story, Dan.

0:13:520:13:53

He was angry with humanity,

0:13:530:13:55

so he turned his eye into a goddess

0:13:550:13:57

and sent her to wreak vengeance.

0:13:570:13:59

But she was TOO vicious,

0:13:590:14:01

there was too much killing,

0:14:010:14:02

so he thought,

0:14:020:14:03

"How am I going to stop her?"

0:14:030:14:05

So, he said,

0:14:050:14:06

"Come over here, Eye Goddess.

0:14:060:14:07

I've got you some delicious

0:14:070:14:08

jugs of blood."

0:14:080:14:10

She loved blood.

0:14:100:14:11

It wasn't really blood, it was beer

0:14:110:14:13

that contained pomegranate juice,

0:14:130:14:15

so it looked like blood.

0:14:150:14:16

So, she guzzled these jugs

0:14:160:14:18

and she was too drunk to finish the massacre.

0:14:180:14:20

What do you think of that?

0:14:200:14:21

Pomegranate beer.

0:14:210:14:22

Could be worth a go, yeah.

0:14:220:14:24

I'll think about it, yeah.

0:14:240:14:26

Who wouldn't want a jug of beer that looks like blood?

0:14:260:14:29

Ooh, it might not be a big seller, but you never know.

0:14:290:14:31

If anyone could bring me a pint now, that would be excellent.

0:14:310:14:34

Well done.

0:14:340:14:35

You get a bonus point for that answer

0:14:350:14:37

and you may choose your own question.

0:14:370:14:39

-Two Reeds, please.

-Two Reeds. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:14:390:14:43

Here's the first.

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:15:130:15:16

It could be Merkel, I think.

0:15:160:15:18

She's the best chance we've got.

0:15:180:15:20

BUZZER

0:15:200:15:22

Angela Merkel.

0:15:220:15:23

Sorry, 2015: Angela Merkel.

0:15:230:15:25

Is the right answer.

0:15:250:15:27

Angela Merkel was the Time Person

0:15:270:15:30

of the Year in 2015. Very well done.

0:15:300:15:33

Maltsters, what would you like?

0:15:330:15:34

-Lion, please.

-Lion.

0:15:340:15:37

OK, what would come fourth in this picture sequence?

0:15:370:15:40

What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?

0:15:400:15:43

Here's the first.

0:15:430:15:44

-What's her name?

-I don't know.

0:15:460:15:48

She was in War And Peace.

0:15:480:15:49

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:15:490:15:52

Yeah, shall we go with that?

0:16:050:16:07

Who's the last one?

It's somebody Farthing?

0:16:090:16:11

INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION

0:16:130:16:15

Is that what it's going to be?

0:16:150:16:18

INAUDIBLE DICSUSSION

0:16:180:16:20

Three seconds.

0:16:200:16:21

BUZZER

0:16:210:16:23

Can you think of anybody

0:16:230:16:24

-whose last name's Farthing?

-No.

0:16:240:16:26

I can't give you long to debate it.

0:16:260:16:28

Um, The Animals Of Farthing Wood.

0:16:280:16:31

Why?

0:16:320:16:34

We think they are pre-decimal coins,

0:16:340:16:37

getting smaller in denomination,

0:16:370:16:39

starting with tuppence.

0:16:390:16:41

I will accept that answer.

0:16:410:16:42

We had a picture

0:16:420:16:44

of Timothy Farthing,

0:16:440:16:46

the vicar from Dad's Army.

0:16:460:16:48

The Animals of Farthing Wood

0:16:480:16:50

would also do. Very well done.

0:16:500:16:52

So, who are we looking at?

0:16:520:16:54

-It's Tuppence Middleton.

-Mm-hmm.

0:16:540:16:56

Penny Lancaster. Um...

0:16:560:16:59

Jill Halfpenny.

0:17:000:17:02

Our question editor spent a long time

0:17:040:17:06

poring over those pictures

0:17:060:17:08

to decide what was perfect.

0:17:080:17:09

Thank God there isn't a coin called the Lumley

0:17:090:17:11

or we'd have been looking at four identical clues!

0:17:110:17:13

Pre-decimal coins

0:17:130:17:14

and we're halving as we go along,

0:17:140:17:16

so we wanted to hear the "Farthing"

0:17:160:17:18

at clue four. Well done.

0:17:180:17:19

Policy Wonks,

0:17:190:17:21

there's one question remaining, the Horned Viper.

0:17:210:17:23

You'll be getting that. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:17:230:17:26

Here's the first.

0:17:260:17:28

I recognise his name, but I can't...

0:17:300:17:32

-It feels sporty but I can't remember who he is.

-Next, please.

0:18:100:18:12

Lynn Redgrave.

0:18:120:18:14

Er, no...

0:18:140:18:15

Oh, I see, you're sort looking at...

0:18:150:18:17

But the alphabet doesn't go like that,

0:18:170:18:19

cos it's going I, U, O...

0:18:190:18:20

Not a sequence, I'm afraid.

0:18:200:18:22

Maltsters, the last bonus chance

0:18:220:18:24

-of the round.

-Do we have an answer?

0:18:240:18:25

-Carol...

-Kirkwood.

0:18:270:18:28

-Carol Kirkwood.

-Carol Kirkwood.

0:18:280:18:31

Is the right answer.

0:18:310:18:33

My goodness, I didn't think

0:18:330:18:34

you were going to say that.

0:18:340:18:35

Neither did we!

0:18:350:18:37

Carol Kirkwood is one of many possible correct answers. Why?

0:18:370:18:40

-Why?

-Are they weather presenters

0:18:400:18:42

on BBC Breakfast in sequence,

0:18:420:18:44

up to the current one?

0:18:440:18:45

-The sequence is channels.

-Ah.

-Oh, right.

0:18:450:18:48

Liam Dutton is a weather presenter on Channel 4,

0:18:480:18:50

and we're going ITV or Channel 3,

0:18:500:18:53

Louise Lear on BBC2,

0:18:530:18:54

so someone who's a weather presenter on BBC1.

0:18:540:18:57

Beautiful Carol Kirkwood

0:18:570:18:58

is an acceptable answer. Well done.

0:18:580:19:01

That means, at the end of Round Two...

0:19:010:19:04

Time now for the Connecting Wall

0:19:100:19:11

and it'll be the Policy Wonks to go first this time,

0:19:110:19:14

so please choose Lion or Water.

0:19:140:19:16

-Lion, please.

-Lion.

0:19:160:19:18

You have two and a half minutes to solve the Lion Wall, starting now.

0:19:180:19:22

Fin Fang Foom is a fictional dragon.

0:19:230:19:26

Smaug is a fictional dragon.

0:19:260:19:27

Puff is a fictional dragon.

0:19:270:19:29

Also, pastry - Filo and Flaky.

0:19:290:19:31

-And Shortcrust.

-And Choux, indeed.

0:19:310:19:33

-Rhaegal?

-He's in Game Of Thrones.

-BUZZ

0:19:330:19:37

Does anyone know what Omidyar is?

0:19:370:19:40

Omidyar is the founder of eBay. I'm not quite sure what that stands for.

0:19:400:19:43

Shall we try going for pastry?

0:19:430:19:46

Oh, Toothless is a fictional dragon as well.

0:19:460:19:47

BUZZ

0:19:470:19:49

-That's these ones.

-Good. OK, right. Possible pastries.

0:19:490:19:52

Let's put pastries to one side and think abut other things.

0:19:520:19:54

Wales...

0:19:540:19:56

Appendix, Colophon...

0:19:560:19:58

Ah, Appendix, Frontispiece and Page.

0:19:580:20:01

BUZZ

0:20:010:20:02

Should be books, right?

0:20:020:20:04

-Spine.

-Yeah, Spine, obviously.

-BUZZ

0:20:040:20:07

-Well... Oh, agreed.

-Three strikes now. Be careful.

0:20:070:20:10

We have the pastries

0:20:100:20:11

and the slightly strange ones which we are...

0:20:110:20:13

-So, we have five potential pastries.

-Yes.

-So...

0:20:130:20:16

Larry Page founded Google, Jimmy Wales founded Wikipedia.

0:20:160:20:19

Pierre Omidyar founded eBay and...

0:20:190:20:21

-And Mr Puff...

-Mr Puff founded...

0:20:210:20:24

-No, Mr...

-Well, Shortcrust, no.

0:20:240:20:27

Filo, may be more of a likely name,

0:20:270:20:29

surname.

0:20:290:20:30

We're talking about surnames of...

0:20:300:20:31

Of company founders.

0:20:310:20:33

That are tech companies.

0:20:330:20:34

I think it's probably Filo or Puff.

0:20:340:20:37

We've got three chances so...

0:20:370:20:39

We're confident of those three.

0:20:390:20:40

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-So, Filo.

0:20:400:20:43

That's it. You've solved the Wall.

0:20:430:20:45

Very well done. And there are points available,

0:20:450:20:47

if you can tell me the connections. What about that first blue group?

0:20:470:20:50

I am not going to say that first clue

0:20:500:20:51

but what is the connection there?

0:20:510:20:53

They are all fictional dragons.

0:20:530:20:55

-They are all dragons. You tell me how you say that first one.

-Sm-owg?

0:20:550:20:58

-Sm-org.

-Sm-org.

-See, I think it's meant to be Sm-owg.

0:20:580:21:01

From The Hobbit. I was looking at it on the internet

0:21:010:21:04

and, according to Benedict Cumberbatch, it's Sm-owg.

0:21:040:21:07

-Well, he is the one to listen to.

-Well, he IS Smaug, so...

-Yeah.

0:21:070:21:10

-Fin Fang Foom - what's he from?

-Marvel Comics.

0:21:100:21:13

-And then How To Train Your Dragon.

-Exactly.

-And then...

0:21:130:21:15

Rhaegal is one of the Game Of Thrones dragons.

0:21:150:21:18

That's exactly right. All fictional... Well, I SAY fictional.

0:21:180:21:21

-We ARE in Wales. All dragons.

-Yes.

0:21:210:21:23

Whether it's documentary or not, we simply don't know.

0:21:230:21:26

And what about the green group -

0:21:260:21:28

Colophon, Frontispiece, Spine, Appendix?

0:21:280:21:30

These are all parts of books, I think we said.

0:21:300:21:32

That's it. Parts of a book.

0:21:320:21:33

And the next group, starting Wales?

0:21:330:21:36

They're all founders of tech companies, websites.

0:21:360:21:38

Of websites. David Filo is founder of Yahoo.

0:21:380:21:42

-That's the one you didn't know.

-Cos Jerry Yang was the other guy.

0:21:420:21:45

He was the cofounder with Jerry Yang, that's right.

0:21:450:21:48

And what about the blue group - Choux, Flaky, Puff, Shortcrust?

0:21:480:21:51

-Pastry.

-Simply types of pastry.

0:21:510:21:53

So, that's all the groups and all the connections.

0:21:530:21:55

You get a bonus for getting it all right. It's a maximum of 10.

0:21:550:21:58

Let's bring in the Maltsters now, give them a new Connecting Wall.

0:21:580:22:01

16 fresh clues still need sorting into four connected groups of four.

0:22:010:22:05

You'll be getting the Water Wall. The lion's been taken.

0:22:050:22:07

You have two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.

0:22:070:22:11

Right, um... Records?

0:22:130:22:16

Turntable, Spindle...

0:22:160:22:18

Tonearm, Spindle, Needle.

0:22:180:22:20

-Speed selector?

-Speed selector.

0:22:200:22:22

Needle and spindle?

0:22:230:22:26

BUZZ

0:22:260:22:27

-No, OK, shall we try with Turntable?

-Yeah.

-And without needle?

0:22:270:22:32

Yes. OK, good, so...

0:22:340:22:36

Have we got...? Have we got DJs, yeah?

0:22:360:22:40

-Nick Grimshaw.

-Zoe Ball?

-Breakfast Show presenters maybe.

0:22:400:22:44

-And Chris Moyles.

-Yeah. Radcliffe and Grimshaw did it, didn't he?

0:22:440:22:48

-Zoe Ball I think did.

-OK.

0:22:480:22:51

-Shall we try them?

-BUZZ

0:22:510:22:53

-Mayo maybe?

-Could be.

0:22:530:22:55

BUZZ

0:22:560:22:58

BUZZ

0:23:000:23:02

-Grimshaw, Radcliffe?

-BUZZ

0:23:020:23:04

-OK, Read is there as well.

-Mike Read.

0:23:040:23:07

-BUZZ

-Have we got any others there...

0:23:070:23:10

that we're thinking of? Um...

0:23:100:23:12

Stand, Read, Rogers...

0:23:120:23:14

Needle, Stand...

0:23:140:23:17

-Architects.

-Architects?

0:23:180:23:21

Norman Foster, Rogers.

0:23:210:23:24

-Rogers. Renzo Piano.

-Yeah.

0:23:240:23:26

-Foster.

-Foster.

0:23:260:23:28

Another one?

0:23:280:23:30

Grimshaw? Yes!

0:23:320:23:34

Three strikes now.

0:23:340:23:35

OK, so, we've definitely got the DJs, haven't we?

0:23:350:23:38

So, I would have thought that's Ball, Moyles, Read...

0:23:380:23:42

Oh, we've got Mayo and Radcliffe. What are the others?

0:23:420:23:45

Needle, Gun, Stand...

0:23:450:23:48

Point? Gunpoint, Standpoint...

0:23:500:23:52

-Yeah, that's it. Needlepoint.

-Ballpoint.

0:23:520:23:53

Ballpoint, needlepoint, gunpoint, standpoint.

0:23:530:23:56

Hang on, let's just have a look through. Are we happy with those?

0:23:560:23:59

-Yeah.

-Yeah? Shall we go for it?

0:23:590:24:01

That's it. You've solved the Wall. Very well done.

0:24:010:24:04

What about the connections? Tell me about the first blue group,

0:24:040:24:07

starting Tonearm or Ton-yarm.

0:24:070:24:09

Parts of a record deck, a record player.

0:24:090:24:12

Yeah, parts of a record player. Any of you still got a record player?

0:24:120:24:15

-ALL:

-Yes.

-All of us still have a record player.

0:24:150:24:17

What about the green group, starting Piano?

0:24:170:24:20

-Architects.

-They are architects.

0:24:200:24:23

-What are their first names?

-Renzo Piano.

-Mm-hmm.

0:24:230:24:26

-Richard Rogers.

-Mm-hmm.

-Norman Foster.

-Mm-hmm.

0:24:260:24:30

-I'm not sure about Grimshaw.

-I don't know Grimshaw.

0:24:300:24:32

That's the one you didn't know.

0:24:320:24:33

You were thinking of a different category.

0:24:330:24:35

-It's Sir Nicholas Grimshaw. The Eden Project is one of his.

-Oh, yes.

0:24:350:24:39

Waterloo International station - he did that as well.

0:24:390:24:42

The architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw.

0:24:420:24:44

What about the pink group, starting Ball?

0:24:440:24:47

We think they can all be followed by "Point".

0:24:470:24:50

Ballpoint, gunpoint, needlepoint, standpoint. That's the word one.

0:24:500:24:53

And the last turquoise group, starting Read.

0:24:530:24:56

-Breakfast DJs?

-Have they all done the Radio 1...?

0:24:560:24:59

Breakfast Show. I think so.

0:24:590:25:00

We think they've all hosted the Radio 1 Breakfast Show.

0:25:000:25:03

That's right. Radio 1 Breakfast hosts.

0:25:030:25:05

Mike Read, Simon Mayo, Chris Moyles and Mark Radcliffe.

0:25:050:25:09

Very well done.

0:25:090:25:10

That is all the groups and all the connections.

0:25:100:25:12

I can give you the maximum of 10. Let's have a look at the scores.

out of well-known names, phrases and sayings.

We respace the consonants and I want to know

0:25:310:25:33

what those disguised clues are. Fingers on buzzers, teams.
