The great half-Scottish singer Rod Stewart, in his hit Maggie May,

0:00:210:00:26

offered a stark choice.

0:00:260:00:28

He could, "Grab my books and head on back to school",

0:00:280:00:31

or, "Steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool".

0:00:310:00:35

Luckily for the standard of this quiz,

0:00:350:00:37

most of our contestants sensibly opted for the former.

0:00:370:00:40

So let's meet tonight's loss to the world of bar billiards.

0:00:400:00:44

On my right, Annette Fenner,

0:00:440:00:47

a medical journal editor

0:00:470:00:48

and keen traveller,

0:00:480:00:49

whose father was Gloria Hunniford's chauffeur.

0:00:490:00:51

Emily Watnick, who has a degree in history

0:00:520:00:55

and was recently elbowed by art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon

0:00:550:00:58

at a Dutch museum.

0:00:580:01:00

And their captain, Amy Godel,

0:01:000:01:03

a semi-retired maths teacher and former hypnotherapist

0:01:030:01:05

who survived a plane crash in Australia involving a cow.

0:01:050:01:09

United by their taste for a tipple,

0:01:090:01:11

they are the Cosmopolitans.

0:01:110:01:13

Amy, how have you been preparing for the quiz? Lots of cocktails?

0:01:130:01:16

Lots of cocktails, researching cocktail recipes.

0:01:160:01:19

How many cocktails have you had in advance of the quiz?

0:01:190:01:22

In my life?!

0:01:220:01:23

That's a big question!

0:01:250:01:26

A few. A few.

0:01:270:01:29

Well, you look ready.

0:01:290:01:30

You are facing tonight, on my left...

0:01:300:01:33

Dean Reilly, a software engineer and maths graduate

0:01:330:01:36

who was once saved from a nasty fall by David Hasselhoff.

0:01:360:01:39

Simon Gibbons, an astrophysicist

0:01:400:01:42

with an interest in board games

0:01:420:01:43

and indoor bouldering.

0:01:430:01:45

And their captain, Mickey Alexander,

0:01:450:01:48

a medical student with an interest in Victorian literature who has seen

0:01:480:01:52

Bruce Springsteen perform 16 times and has touched him once.

0:01:520:01:55

United by a passion for pubs, they are the Taverners.

0:01:550:01:59

Another team of drinkers, excellent. How have you been preparing?

0:01:590:02:02

It seems a bit obvious to say pub quizzes,

0:02:020:02:03

but a certain amount of that.

0:02:030:02:05

And we've also been connecting random things to other things.

0:02:050:02:08

We've got one of those rooms with pin boards and clues on it

0:02:080:02:10

and bits of string.

0:02:100:02:12

Despite my best efforts,

0:02:120:02:13

the teams are not provided with pints for playing the quiz,

0:02:130:02:17

but I hope you had a few before we started.

0:02:170:02:18

We'll find out who's had the most to drink - I'm joking,

0:02:180:02:21

we all know it's me - during the course of the evening.

0:02:210:02:24

But we'll begin with Round One.

0:02:240:02:26

The Cosmopolitans won the toss, so you'll be going first.

0:02:260:02:29

Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:02:290:02:32

Shall we have the Horned Viper?

0:02:320:02:33

Why not? Kicking it off with the snake.

0:02:340:02:36

The Viper will be your first question.

0:02:360:02:39

Your first clue is coming up now.

0:02:390:02:41

I think so, yes.

0:02:450:02:47

Next.

0:02:470:02:48

I always get Flaubert's Parrot mixed up with Foucault's Pendulum.

0:02:520:02:55

Next.

0:02:570:02:58

-It is, it's...

-It's names for groups of birds.

0:03:000:03:05

No, it's names of books

0:03:050:03:07

where the collective noun for the bird has been replaced...

0:03:070:03:14

where the bird has been replaced by the collective noun for the bird.

0:03:140:03:19

That is right, they are book titles

0:03:190:03:21

in which the name of a bird has been replaced by the

0:03:210:03:23

collective noun for those birds.

0:03:230:03:25

Can you talk me through what the titles should be?

0:03:250:03:28

There's The Crow Road by Iain Banks.

0:03:280:03:30

-Flaubert's Parrot... Julian Barnes?

-Julian Barnes, yeah.

0:03:300:03:34

Where Eagles Dare... Len Deighton?

0:03:340:03:37

Alistair MacLean, it is a thriller, yes.

0:03:370:03:39

And The Owl And The Pussycat by Edward Lear.

0:03:390:03:41

That's absolutely right, bird names replaced by their collective nouns.

0:03:410:03:44

Very well done for two points.

0:03:440:03:47

Taverners, your turn to choose a question.

0:03:470:03:49

Shall we have the Two Reeds, please?

0:03:490:03:51

If you're asking my advice, I can't help you.

0:03:510:03:54

You've chosen the Two Reeds.

0:03:540:03:55

That will be your first question.

0:03:550:03:57

Time starts now.

0:03:570:03:59

Moving on? Next.

0:04:010:04:03

Cow & Gate make the formula milk.

0:04:050:04:08

Formula? Something about formula, possibly?

0:04:080:04:11

Do you think the next one?

0:04:110:04:13

Next, please.

0:04:130:04:14

Sausages and ice cream.

0:04:160:04:18

-Two food companies up there, but it's not...

-Yeah.

0:04:210:04:24

Next.

0:04:240:04:25

Those are the ridiculously famous T-shirts, right?

0:04:280:04:31

I love New York...

0:04:310:04:32

We're going to say formulas, or formulae.

0:04:370:04:40

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:04:400:04:41

So there's a bonus chance for you,

0:04:410:04:43

Cosmopolitans.

0:04:430:04:44

Are they things that have hearts in their logos?

0:04:440:04:47

That is exactly what it is.

0:04:470:04:48

I can hear you sighing over there.

0:04:480:04:51

That's right, they all feature hearts in the logos.

0:04:510:04:53

The I Love New York -

0:04:530:04:54

it's those T-shirts that say "I heart New York".

0:04:540:04:57

Well done, hearts in the logos.

0:04:580:04:59

A bonus point to you, and you may choose your own question.

0:04:590:05:02

The Twisted Flax?

0:05:020:05:04

The Twisted Flax, OK.

0:05:040:05:06

Your first clue is coming in now.

0:05:060:05:08

OK... No, I don't know.

0:05:110:05:14

Next.

0:05:140:05:15

They're Egyptians.

0:05:180:05:19

-One more.

-Next.

0:05:210:05:22

-Maybe they're just Egyptians?

-No, he's not...

0:05:250:05:29

Isn't he Egyptian? OK, that's a shame.

0:05:290:05:32

And he wasn't assassinated either.

0:05:320:05:34

No, he wasn't.

0:05:340:05:35

Shall we go for one more? Next.

0:05:350:05:38

She's not Egyptian though, is she?

0:05:420:05:45

-But the first two...

-Three seconds.

0:05:450:05:46

Oh, I'm afraid your time is up.

0:05:490:05:51

So, Taverners, it's your chance for

0:05:510:05:53

a bonus point now

0:05:530:05:54

if you know the connection.

0:05:540:05:55

I think Simon got it.

0:05:550:05:56

they're the first Muslims to get that particular...

0:05:560:06:00

They are the first Muslims.

0:06:000:06:01

Nawal El Moutawakel was the first

0:06:010:06:04

woman to win gold at the Olympics.

0:06:040:06:06

Anwar Sadat, of course, the president of Egypt.

0:06:060:06:08

You mentioned Egypt, not all Egyptian.

0:06:080:06:10

Sadiq Khan, UK Cabinet minister,

0:06:100:06:13

and Nadiya Hussain, the winner of the Great British Bake Off.

0:06:130:06:17

I have a theory that everyone watches that show

0:06:170:06:19

and nobody bakes anything. Have any of you baked anything?

0:06:190:06:21

No, I always try everything.

0:06:210:06:23

My macaroons are really improving now. After a couple of...

0:06:230:06:26

Many congratulations.

0:06:260:06:27

I tell you, my macaroons are getting a lot worse.

0:06:270:06:30

I love Bake Off. I would spend all day

0:06:300:06:33

trying to replicate the recipes, easily.

0:06:330:06:36

Well, Nadiya Hussain was the first Muslim to win that show,

0:06:360:06:39

so very well spotted. You get a bonus point,

0:06:390:06:41

and you may choose a question.

0:06:410:06:42

-Simon?

-Let's go Lion.

0:06:420:06:45

The Lion question.

0:06:450:06:46

This is a picture question, so I simply want to know,

0:06:460:06:49

what do these pictures have in common?

0:06:490:06:51

First one coming up now.

0:06:510:06:54

OK, I'm not sure who that is.

0:06:540:06:56

It's...some art.

0:06:560:06:58

Shall we go on?

0:06:580:07:00

Next.

0:07:000:07:02

-Oh, that's RuPaul, isn't it?

-Yep.

0:07:020:07:05

From Drag Race.

0:07:050:07:06

Pleased I got that. Next.

0:07:060:07:08

Oh, that's the octopus that chose the winners of the World Cup.

0:07:100:07:13

So it could be false correlations?

0:07:150:07:17

Could be sporting events.

0:07:170:07:19

I don't... Yeah...

0:07:190:07:20

Can we have next, please?

0:07:210:07:23

And that's St Paul's, isn't it?

0:07:240:07:27

Three seconds.

0:07:280:07:30

They're all Paul.

0:07:300:07:32

-Paul.

-They're all called Paul.

0:07:320:07:35

Who were you recognising?

0:07:350:07:36

It's Paul the Octopus, which suddenly occurred to me.

0:07:360:07:40

Paul the Octopus that "predicted" the results in the 2010 World Cup.

0:07:400:07:43

That's RuPaul from RuPaul's Drag Race, and other things.

0:07:430:07:47

St Paul's Cathedral,

0:07:470:07:48

and I'm going to guess

0:07:480:07:49

a portrait of Gauguin?

0:07:490:07:51

-Or?

-Cezanne.

-Cezanne!

-Cezanne.

0:07:510:07:53

It is Paul Cezanne in the first one.

0:07:530:07:56

But very well done, they are all called Paul.

0:07:560:07:58

Cosmopolitans, your turn to please choose a question.

0:07:590:08:02

Water, please.

0:08:020:08:04

Water, OK. What do these clues have in common?

0:08:040:08:06

Here's the first.

0:08:060:08:07

-Erm...

-Next.

0:08:120:08:13

Well, Palmyra is the Pearl Of The Desert.

0:08:160:08:19

Yes, so Church Of The Desert might be...

0:08:190:08:21

It might be... Yes.

0:08:210:08:24

-One more?

-Shall we go for it?

0:08:240:08:27

OK.

0:08:270:08:28

Things of the desert.

0:08:290:08:31

They are things of the desert. Very well quizzed.

0:08:310:08:34

You get three points for coming in after two clues.

0:08:340:08:37

That's all the clues you didn't need to see. Talk me through them.

0:08:370:08:39

Well, the Church Of The Desert, I have no idea what that is.

0:08:390:08:43

That was a 17th-century movement,

0:08:430:08:45

secret Protestants following Antoine Court, the minister.

0:08:450:08:48

They were the Church of the Desert.

0:08:480:08:50

Palmyra is called the Pearl of the Desert.

0:08:500:08:52

The Sons Of The Desert, because of the film they did

0:08:530:08:56

about the Foreign Legion, I think?

0:08:560:08:58

In 1933, it was a film in which they were part of a Masonic lodge

0:08:580:09:01

called Sons Of The Desert,

0:09:010:09:02

it was also the name of the film.

0:09:020:09:04

That's where the fan club takes its name.

0:09:040:09:06

And the camel is the Ship Of The Desert.

0:09:060:09:09

That's absolutely right.

0:09:090:09:10

Very well done for the points.

0:09:100:09:12

OK, Taverners, it is your turn for a question.

0:09:120:09:14

There's no choice, really.

0:09:140:09:16

It will be the Eye of Horus.

0:09:160:09:18

Unfortunately for you, we haven't had the music question.

0:09:180:09:20

It is going to be this one.

0:09:200:09:21

You'll be hearing the clues.

0:09:210:09:23

Good luck. The first one is coming in now.

0:09:230:09:26

GENTLE MUSIC

0:09:260:09:29

It's the theme music for Desert Island Discs.

0:09:290:09:33

OK. Next.

0:09:330:09:36

# On those fishing boats, with their sails afloat... #

0:09:360:09:39

-This is Roy Orbison. Fishing boats.

-Sailing.

0:09:390:09:41

What is the name though?

0:09:410:09:44

-Shall we try the next one?

-Yeah.

-Next.

0:09:470:09:50

BOMBASTIC MUSIC

0:09:500:09:52

It's the sea again. This is another sea piece.

0:09:530:09:57

-Go for the sea, I guess?

-Yeah.

0:09:590:10:01

We believe they're all to do with the sea, or possibly islands.

0:10:030:10:06

Mmm, have another go.

0:10:070:10:09

Sailing, and ships. On the sea..

0:10:090:10:11

Fishing?

0:10:110:10:12

I'm afraid I can't really take it.

0:10:140:10:16

I want to, I'll explain why I can't in a minute.

0:10:160:10:18

We'll have a quick blast of the last clue

0:10:180:10:20

for the benefit of the Cosmopolitans.

0:10:200:10:22

STATELY MUSIC

0:10:220:10:25

-We think it's bodies of water.

-It's bodies of water.

0:10:280:10:31

The reason I can't take sea is because that third clue,

0:10:310:10:33

Swan Lake, the Tchaikovsky. The first one, By The Sleepy Lagoon,

0:10:330:10:37

it is used on Desert Island Discs.

0:10:370:10:39

Something is added. Do you know what?

0:10:390:10:40

-Seagulls, isn't it?

-Seagull noises are added for that.

0:10:400:10:43

Blue Bayou, Roy Orbison. But Swan Lake, very much not the sea.

0:10:430:10:47

-Do you know what the last one was?

-No.

-No.

0:10:470:10:49

(The Bonnie Banks O') Loch Lomond,

0:10:490:10:52

that was, a traditional Scottish song.

0:10:520:10:54

So bodies of water, for the bonus point, very well done.

0:10:540:10:57

That means, at the end of round one,

0:10:570:10:59

the Taverners have two points,

0:10:590:11:00

the Cosmopolitans have seven.

0:11:000:11:02

On to Round Two, where there are still four clues.

0:11:050:11:07

Now, I want to know what would come fourth in a sequence.

0:11:070:11:10

Cosmopolitans, you'll be going first again.

0:11:100:11:12

Which question would you like?

0:11:120:11:14

-Twisted Flax.

-The Twisted Flax, OK.

0:11:140:11:16

We'll see the first in a sequence,

0:11:160:11:17

I'd like to know what would come fourth.

0:11:170:11:19

You may see a maximum of three clues.

0:11:190:11:21

The first one is coming up now.

0:11:210:11:23

Next.

0:11:280:11:29

No, no.

0:11:370:11:39

Next.

0:11:390:11:40

Oh, that's Cher.

0:11:420:11:44

Yes. Ah, right.

0:11:440:11:46

So... Yes.

0:11:470:11:50

If that is Cher, then who...?

0:11:500:11:53

Three seconds.

0:12:000:12:02

Sonny Bono?

0:12:020:12:04

Why would that be?

0:12:040:12:05

Because Cherilyn Sarkisian is Cher.

0:12:050:12:07

I'm afraid that's not the answer, although good to have a guess.

0:12:090:12:12

-Didn't think so!

-Taverners, do you want to have a go

0:12:120:12:14

-for a bonus point?

-Let's say...

0:12:140:12:17

John Smith.

0:12:170:12:18

It's not John Smith. Now, you're right,

0:12:180:12:20

the third clue is the birth name

0:12:200:12:21

of the singer Cher.

0:12:210:12:22

Do you not know who the person is in the first clue?

0:12:220:12:25

No.

0:12:250:12:26

That is the first name of the lawyer Cherie Booth, Mrs Tony Blair.

0:12:260:12:31

She couldn't be christened Cherie, because there is no St Cherie,

0:12:310:12:34

-and they're a Catholic family.

-Right.

0:12:340:12:36

Fred Peloux is the lead character of a Colette novel,

0:12:360:12:38

-a French novel, according to my notes...

-Oh, Cheri?

0:12:380:12:40

a novel about a Parisian gigolo with a much older lover.

0:12:400:12:43

I assume all French novels

0:12:430:12:44

are about that.

0:12:440:12:45

So it is Cherie with an E, Cheri with an I,

0:12:450:12:47

so it'll be Che Guevara.

0:12:470:12:48

Ernesto Guevara,

0:12:480:12:50

we're talking about.

0:12:500:12:51

Cherie with an E,

0:12:510:12:52

take off the E to get just Cheri,

0:12:520:12:54

and then Cher,

0:12:540:12:55

and you take off a letter again,

0:12:550:12:57

"Che" Ernesto Guevara.

0:12:570:12:59

You spotted it, but too late.

0:12:590:13:01

OK, Taverners, your turn for a sequence question.

0:13:010:13:03

What would you like?

0:13:030:13:04

Can we have the Eye of Horus?

0:13:040:13:06

You certainly can.

0:13:060:13:07

These are going to be picture clues.

0:13:070:13:09

I'd like to know what sort of thing

0:13:090:13:11

you'd expect to see

0:13:110:13:12

in the fourth picture.

0:13:120:13:13

Here's the first.

0:13:130:13:14

OK, I'm not sure who that is.

0:13:140:13:16

Maybe.

0:13:190:13:20

-Shall we go next?

-Yeah.

-Next.

0:13:200:13:21

Oh, so that's, what's the name of the actress?

0:13:230:13:25

-Maggie Smith?

-Maggie Smith, yeah.

0:13:250:13:28

So we think Smith, maybe? Maggie...?

0:13:280:13:31

-Do you want the next one?

-Yeah.

-Next.

0:13:310:13:33

So could it be Prime Ministers?

0:13:390:13:40

Maggie, that could be John,

0:13:400:13:42

and then someone called Tony?

0:13:420:13:45

-A singer called Tony?

-Three seconds.

0:13:450:13:47

No, that's Tony, so it is going to be Gordon someone.

0:13:470:13:50

Sure... How is that possible? Cos we've missed out John Major...

0:13:500:13:53

I can't let you chat.

0:13:530:13:55

Can we have...Tony Bennett?

0:13:550:13:58

I'm afraid you could not.

0:13:580:14:00

So there's a bonus chance

0:14:000:14:01

for you, Cosmopolitans.

0:14:010:14:03

-Gordon... Sting?

-Sting?

0:14:030:14:05

Does nobody recognise Neil Tennant

0:14:050:14:07

of the Pet Shop Boys?

0:14:070:14:08

-Oh, is that him?

-Of course that's him!

0:14:080:14:11

Gosh, he's let himself go, hasn't he?

0:14:110:14:13

How you thought you could come along to Only Connect

0:14:130:14:15

and this much time would go past without a Doctor Who question,

0:14:150:14:18

-I don't know.

-Oh, my God!

0:14:180:14:19

We are looking at Jim Capaldi of the band Traffic...

0:14:190:14:23

-Oh, no!

-Maggie Smith, Neil Tennant...

0:14:230:14:25

It's successive doctors. Capaldi, Smith, Tennant.

0:14:250:14:27

-I want to hear...?

-Eccleston.

0:14:270:14:29

The village of Eccleston,

0:14:290:14:31

because it would be Christopher Eccleston,

0:14:310:14:33

the actor would come next.

0:14:330:14:35

No points there, then.

0:14:350:14:36

Cosmopolitans, you may choose a question.

0:14:360:14:38

-Horned Viper, please.

-The Viper again, is it? OK.

0:14:380:14:41

What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:14:410:14:43

Here's the first.

0:14:430:14:44

-Seven or eight?

-Eight.

0:14:490:14:52

-Next.

-Next. Sorry.

0:14:520:14:53

That's seven... Something seven?

0:14:540:14:57

Wait a minute. Is it six?

0:14:570:14:59

Seven, six, five, and then the Ronnie Barker sketch for four?

0:14:590:15:03

-Shall we try next?

-I think we should go next.

-Seriously, I think...

0:15:030:15:06

OK, next.

0:15:060:15:07

That's got five.

0:15:090:15:10

Ronnie Barker sketch.

0:15:110:15:13

A Two Ronnies sketch

0:15:130:15:14

would absolutely be the same answer

0:15:140:15:16

we'd chosen. And you spotted that very early, I think.

0:15:160:15:20

What is the sequence?

0:15:200:15:21

The number of candles going down.

0:15:210:15:23

Seven, six, five, four.

0:15:230:15:25

That's absolutely right.

0:15:250:15:26

Seven candles in a temple menorah.

0:15:260:15:28

Not a menorah,

0:15:280:15:29

that's a Jewish candlestick

0:15:290:15:31

that would be outside the temple,

0:15:310:15:32

but in the temple,

0:15:320:15:34

seven candles there.

0:15:340:15:35

Six candles at a high Catholic mass,

0:15:350:15:37

the traditional Advent wreath, five,

0:15:370:15:39

and of course, the famous sketch,

0:15:390:15:41

the Four Candles or Fork Handles sketch.

0:15:410:15:44

Absolutely right, very well done for the points.

0:15:440:15:46

Back to you, Taverners, for a sequence question.

0:15:460:15:48

-Which is it to be?

-Dean?

-Water?

0:15:480:15:51

The Water question.

0:15:510:15:52

OK, what would come fourth in this sequence?

0:15:520:15:54

Here's the first.

0:15:540:15:55

Is it Scrabble?

0:15:580:15:59

No, J's more.

0:16:000:16:03

Do you want next? Next.

0:16:030:16:05

No, but then we've got a different sign, right?

0:16:070:16:10

There's an equals...

0:16:100:16:11

-Oh, yeah.

-..equals, colon there.

0:16:110:16:13

-So second-equal is two Ms...

-Yeah.

0:16:130:16:17

The first is J.

0:16:180:16:19

-I think another one.

-Next.

0:16:190:16:21

The second-equal...

0:16:240:16:25

So it's something...

0:16:310:16:32

One second.

0:16:340:16:35

Oh, I'm afraid the time is up.

0:16:350:16:38

Unlucky. Cosmopolitans,

0:16:380:16:39

you have a bonus chance.

0:16:390:16:40

Go on.

0:16:420:16:43

-Ugh...

-First...

0:16:430:16:45

You wouldn't guess this in a million years if you don't know.

0:16:450:16:47

-In that case, no.

-It would be...

0:16:470:16:49

1st, colon, Z, brackets...

0:16:490:16:52

You're already wrong, because it would be fourth.

0:16:520:16:54

We started with the first.

0:16:540:16:55

1st, 2nd=, 2nd=,

0:16:550:16:57

4th - F-S-O-N-D (1).

0:16:570:16:59

This is a very hidden, lateral connection.

0:17:000:17:03

Not a maths question, it's actually much simpler than it looks,

0:17:030:17:06

but very hidden. We're talking about months in the year.

0:17:060:17:09

-Oh!

-Three of them begin with a J.

0:17:090:17:11

January, June, July.

0:17:110:17:12

Two of them, March and May, with an M.

0:17:120:17:15

Second equal, A, because of August and April,

0:17:150:17:19

and then we need to hear the other months,

0:17:190:17:21

February, September, October, November, December.

0:17:210:17:23

They all have one appearance over the year, those letters.

0:17:230:17:27

In first place. Very hidden.

0:17:270:17:29

Cosmopolitans, what would you like?

0:17:290:17:31

-Lion?

-Lion, yeah.

-The Lion.

0:17:310:17:33

OK, the Lion question, what would come fourth in this sequence?

0:17:330:17:37

Here's the first.

0:17:370:17:38

Space, crossed out.

0:17:390:17:41

Spaced out? Space bar?

0:17:410:17:43

Yes. Next.

0:17:430:17:45

Choice, crossed out.

0:17:470:17:49

Choice bar?

0:17:490:17:50

Choice line.

0:17:500:17:52

No choice, no space.

0:17:520:17:54

Next.

0:17:540:17:55

-Jobs...

-No space, no choice, no jobs...

-No...

0:17:570:18:01

Future?

0:18:010:18:03

Is that a speech?

0:18:060:18:07

Let's go for that.

0:18:070:18:08

Future, crossed out?

0:18:110:18:12

Not the answer, I'm afraid, although

0:18:120:18:14

I like the bleakness of it.

0:18:140:18:15

Taverners, do you want to have a go

0:18:160:18:18

for a bonus point?

0:18:180:18:19

-Money, you mentioned?

-Yeah, shall we say money, crossed out?

0:18:190:18:22

That's not it, although you're closer to the spirit of the answer,

0:18:220:18:25

because we're talking about a well-known book

0:18:250:18:28

which is a polemical piece against globalisation.

0:18:280:18:31

It's the Naomi Klein book, No Logo.

0:18:310:18:34

Yes, and the chapters go No Space, No Choice, No Jobs, No Logo.

0:18:350:18:40

That is what it would be.

0:18:400:18:42

Last question of the round goes to you, the Two Reeds.

0:18:420:18:44

What is the fourth in this sequence?

0:18:440:18:46

Here's the first.

0:18:460:18:47

-All-Bran...

-It's also the youngest of the Starks.

0:18:500:18:54

No, he's not the youngest.

0:18:540:18:55

OK. Shall we?

0:18:550:18:57

Next.

0:18:570:18:59

-Yes!

-OK.

-Robb.

0:18:590:19:01

-Is it Robb?

-It's Robb.

-OK.

0:19:010:19:02

We're going to say Robb, with two Bs.

0:19:040:19:07

Coming in after two clues, you get three points.

0:19:070:19:09

The answer is Robb, and why is that?

0:19:090:19:11

They're the Stark children, going from the youngest to the oldest.

0:19:110:19:14

-Not quite...

-No, going from the fourth-youngest in Game Of Thrones.

0:19:140:19:18

That's right. It's Stark children from Game Of Thrones,

0:19:180:19:22

or A Song Of Ice And Fire, which it's adapted from.

0:19:220:19:25

-My husband's seen that show and rather enjoyed it.

-I love it.

0:19:250:19:27

I got the sense that everyone is constantly topless.

0:19:270:19:29

Yeah, more or less.

0:19:290:19:31

More or less.

0:19:310:19:33

And everyone you ever love dies.

0:19:330:19:35

Well, that's true of so much, isn't it?

0:19:350:19:38

No future.

0:19:380:19:39

No future.

0:19:390:19:41

Very well done at the end of the round there.

0:19:410:19:43

That means, at the conclusion of Round Two,

0:19:430:19:46

the Taverners have five points,

0:19:460:19:48

the Cosmopolitans have nine.

0:19:480:19:50

Time now for round three, the Connecting Wall.

0:19:520:19:54

16 clues, all jumbled up,

0:19:540:19:56

that the teams need to sort into four connected groups of four.

0:19:560:20:00

Taverners, you'll be going first this time.

0:20:000:20:03

Would you like Lion or Water?

0:20:030:20:05

I think we'll go with the Water, please.

0:20:050:20:07

OK, Water, beware the red herrings that are swimming around in there.

0:20:070:20:10

Some clues do go into more than one category,

0:20:100:20:12

but there's only one perfect solution.

0:20:120:20:14

You've got two-and-a-half minutes to perform it,

0:20:140:20:17

starting now.

0:20:170:20:19

OK, Professor X, Dr Strangelove, they're in wheelchairs.

0:20:200:20:24

-Yeah.

-Ironside and Timmy.

0:20:240:20:27

OK. Edward the Confessor, these are the bynames of English kings.

0:20:270:20:32

-Curtmantle...

-Bonnie, Goldie, Shep, and Petra are all Blue Peter dogs.

0:20:320:20:36

BUZZ

0:20:360:20:38

-Barney, maybe, as well?

-Barney might be one as well.

0:20:380:20:41

BUZZ

0:20:410:20:42

Ethelred the Unready, Edward the Confessor,

0:20:420:20:44

I can't remember who Curtmantle is. And Bloody? OK.

0:20:440:20:47

Three strikes and you're out now. Jab with care.

0:20:470:20:50

So Goldie is one of the dogs, do you think?

0:20:500:20:53

Goldie, Petra, Shep...

0:20:530:20:54

John the Baptist was beheaded.

0:20:540:20:56

Who's King Hussein? Katie Price is Jordan. King Hussein of Jordan.

0:20:560:20:59

John the Baptist, River Jordan,

0:20:590:21:01

-presumably?

-Yeah.

0:21:010:21:02

So is there another Jordan?

0:21:020:21:04

So it's probably those three.

0:21:040:21:06

Do we think there's another Jordan?

0:21:070:21:09

Petra, the city, probably in Jordan.

0:21:090:21:12

I would give it a go.

0:21:120:21:13

You think Bonnie, Goldie, Shep and

0:21:130:21:15

-Barney...

-All Blue Peter animals.

0:21:150:21:17

Shall we go for it?

0:21:170:21:18

You've solved the wall.

0:21:180:21:19

Very well done. Not even halfway through the time, excellent stuff.

0:21:190:21:23

OK, that is four points immediately for the groups

0:21:230:21:25

and I'll give you more points for the connections.

0:21:250:21:27

So the first blue group -

0:21:270:21:28

Dr Strangelove, Timmy, Professor X and Ironside?

0:21:280:21:33

They are all wheelchair users.

0:21:330:21:35

All fictional wheelchair users.

0:21:350:21:36

The green group -

0:21:360:21:38

Unready, Confessor, Bloody, Curtmantle?

0:21:380:21:41

They're all bynames or nicknames of English monarchs.

0:21:410:21:45

Ethelred the Unready,

0:21:450:21:47

Edward the Confessor, Bloody Mary -

0:21:470:21:50

so we're back with the cocktails again.

0:21:500:21:51

And I can't remember who Curtmantle is.

0:21:510:21:54

Someone with a short coat, I guess.

0:21:540:21:55

Correctly deduced.

0:21:550:21:56

Henry II, his robe was shorter than everybody else.

0:21:560:21:59

They are names of monarchs, or addenda to their names.

0:21:590:22:02

And the... Now, I always say the purple group,

0:22:020:22:05

and then I get shouted at from people

0:22:050:22:07

who say that it's burgundy or vermilion or something.

0:22:070:22:09

But this next group -

0:22:090:22:10

Katie Price, John the Baptist, Petra, King Hussein?

0:22:100:22:14

-We think they're all connected to Jordan.

-Jordan.

0:22:140:22:17

And what is the connection?

0:22:170:22:18

Katie Price is called Jordan.

0:22:180:22:20

She's a model and...things.

0:22:200:22:22

John the Baptist hung out around the River Jordan, I guess.

0:22:220:22:27

-He baptised Jesus in the River Jordan, yes!

-Ah, yes.

0:22:270:22:30

Hence the name.

0:22:300:22:32

Petra is a city which is presumably in Jordan.

0:22:320:22:35

And King Hussein is presumably King Hussein of Jordan.

0:22:350:22:38

Jordan is the connection.

0:22:380:22:39

And the last group -

0:22:390:22:40

Bonnie, Barney, Goldie, Shep?

0:22:400:22:43

-Simon?

-They're all Blue Peter animals, certainly.

0:22:430:22:46

I think dogs?

0:22:460:22:47

I can accept either answer, because they are all Blue Peter dogs,

0:22:470:22:50

but Barney was also, in 1968, a Blue Peter parrot.

0:22:500:22:53

So all Blue Peter dogs/pets.

0:22:540:22:56

That means you get four points for the groups,

0:22:560:22:58

four points for the connections, I'll give you a bonus two points for getting it all right.

0:22:580:23:02

That's the maximum of ten points. Very well done to you.

0:23:020:23:04

It's now time to bring in the Cosmopolitans

0:23:040:23:07

and give them a new Connecting Wall.

0:23:070:23:09

16 fresh clues that still need sorting

0:23:090:23:11

into four connected groups of four.

0:23:110:23:14

The Water wall's been taken, so you get the Lion wall.

0:23:140:23:17

Two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.

0:23:170:23:20

Right, so...

0:23:220:23:23

-The butterfly effect?

-David Guetta, David Bowie.

0:23:250:23:28

-David Gray.

-Gray.

-OK.

0:23:290:23:31

-David Essex.

-Yep.

0:23:310:23:33

-BUZZ

-David Soul?

-Yep.

0:23:330:23:36

So shall we...?

0:23:360:23:37

You have knives as well.

0:23:400:23:41

-Your Stanley knife and your...

-BUZZ

0:23:410:23:44

BUZZ

0:23:440:23:46

Shall we keep going?

0:23:460:23:47

-OK, so Stanley knife, flick knife...

-Bowie knife.

0:23:470:23:51

That's going to be the one, isn't it?

0:23:510:23:53

-Bowie, Stanley, and...hunting?

-BUZZ

0:23:530:23:55

-Or cheese.

-Yeah.

0:23:550:23:57

-So...

-Cheese, Stanley, Bowie...

-BUZZ

0:23:570:23:59

Flick knife.

0:23:590:24:00

-Flick, Stanley, cheese...

-BUZZ

0:24:000:24:02

Bowie, Stanley, cheese...

0:24:020:24:05

Then it's going to be Gray, Essex, Guetta, Soul.

0:24:050:24:08

-Yes.

-Three strikes and you're out now. Be careful.

0:24:080:24:11

Butterfly, Icarus, wings?

0:24:110:24:15

Things with wings...

0:24:150:24:16

Paul McCartney played with Wings.

0:24:160:24:19

-And...

-Eleven?

0:24:190:24:21

OK, I... Erm...

0:24:210:24:22

Butterfly...?

0:24:220:24:24

-Legs Eleven.

-Who's Ryan?

0:24:240:24:26

-Ryan...

-Ryan Gosling.

0:24:260:24:28

-Icarus...

-Butterfly, Paul McCartney.

0:24:300:24:33

Hunting wings?

0:24:330:24:34

-Prisons have wings.

-That's true!

0:24:340:24:37

That's it, you've solved the wall.

0:24:370:24:39

Four points for the groups, and I'm going to give you

0:24:390:24:41

more points for the connections.

0:24:410:24:43

The first blue group -

0:24:430:24:44

Bowie, Flick, Stanley, Cheese.

0:24:440:24:47

-Kinds of knife.

-They are types of knife, very well done.

0:24:470:24:51

And the green group -

0:24:510:24:52

Gray, Soul, Essex, Guetta?

0:24:520:24:55

Musical Davids.

0:24:550:24:58

That's right, they are singers or musicians with the name David.

0:24:580:25:02

And the next group -

0:25:020:25:03

Prison, Icarus, Paul McCartney, Butterfly?

0:25:030:25:07

-Things with wings.

-That's it, prison in the sense

0:25:070:25:09

that you might be put on a particular wing.

0:25:090:25:11

Not you, a person might, I hate to presume.

0:25:110:25:14

Icarus, of course, in the myth,

0:25:140:25:15

Paul McCartney, the band Wings, and a butterfly - things with wings.

0:25:150:25:18

And the last turquoise group -

0:25:180:25:20

Identity, Ryan, Hunting, Eleven.

0:25:200:25:24

Erm...crisis?

0:25:240:25:26

Not it, I'm afraid.

0:25:270:25:29

What's the connection...? Oh, identity crisis, I suppose you have.

0:25:290:25:32

A Ryan crisis? Takes me back to my teenage years.

0:25:320:25:35

No, these are the last words in film titles.

0:25:350:25:40

Matt Damon is the connection.

0:25:400:25:42

-Good Will Hunting...

-Matt Damon! Of course!

0:25:420:25:45

..the Bourne Identity, Saving Private Ryan,

0:25:450:25:47

and Ocean's Eleven. Films featuring Matt Damon.

0:25:470:25:49

They are the last words in those titles.

0:25:490:25:52

But you did get four points for finding the groups,

0:25:520:25:54

three points for the connections. That is a total of seven.

0:25:540:25:57

Let's have a look at the scores going into Round Four.

0:25:570:25:59

So it is very close now and will be decided by Round Four,

0:26:060:26:09

the Missing Vowels Round.

0:26:090:26:11

This is where we take well-known names, phrases and sayings,

0:26:110:26:13

take out the vowels, respace the consonants, and I want to know,

0:26:130:26:16

what are those disguised clues?

0:26:160:26:18

Fingers on buzzers, please, teams.

0:26:180:26:21

Too long, I'm afraid. You must lose a point.

0:27:350:27:37

Taverners, do you know?

0:27:370:27:38

No? Not gardeners.

0:27:390:27:40

Next category, things...

0:27:480:27:49

END OF ROUND JINGLE

0:27:490:27:51

But we're not going to have the next category,

0:27:530:27:55

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

0:27:550:27:59

And I can tell you that the winners, with 23 points,

0:27:590:28:02

are the Cosmopolitans.

0:28:020:28:04

And in second place with 18 points,

0:28:040:28:06

the Taverners.

0:28:060:28:08

Very well done. Nice and close at the end there.

0:28:080:28:10

Cosmopolitans, you are through to the next round.

0:28:100:28:13

Taverners, by our complicated new system,

0:28:130:28:15

you MAY be through to the next round.

0:28:150:28:17

You, we'll definitely see again.

0:28:170:28:18

You, who knows, depends what sort of mood you're in.

0:28:180:28:21

But we will be here next week

0:28:210:28:22

and more teams will be grilled like Nando's halloumi cheese.

0:28:220:28:26

If you're coming, bring napkins.

0:28:260:28:28

And Rennies.

0:28:280:28:30

Goodbye.
