Hello and welcome to Only Connect,

0:00:210:00:23

the show that would go into a library

0:00:230:00:25

and not just to use the loo, but to actually read a book.

0:00:250:00:28

Oh, who am I kidding? It would be to shed a tear for the dying art

0:00:280:00:31

of the Dewey Decimal Classification System.

0:00:310:00:34

Blowing their noses wistfully tonight are, on my right,

0:00:340:00:39

Phyl Styles, a secondary school teacher

0:00:390:00:42

who's written and performed a Countdown-themed rap

0:00:420:00:45

under the stage name, Phyl Styles.

0:00:450:00:47

Tom Cappleman,

0:00:480:00:50

a software engineer who enjoys board games and speaks

0:00:500:00:52

conversational Swahili,

0:00:520:00:54

and their captain, Graeme Cole,

0:00:540:00:56

a software engineer

0:00:560:00:58

who is an enthusiastic member of the campaign to install

0:00:580:01:01

a cuckoo in Big Ben's clock tower.

0:01:010:01:04

United by a weakness for words,

0:01:040:01:06

they are the Verbivores.

0:01:060:01:07

Now, Graeme, you lost your opening game against the Smiths and you went

0:01:070:01:11

through to the lucky losers and beat the Channel Islanders.

0:01:110:01:14

What have you learned from your Only Connect trip so far?

0:01:140:01:16

Well, that last win, we got a bit lucky there,

0:01:160:01:20

we were behind and then we won by one point

0:01:200:01:21

on the last question of the last round -

0:01:210:01:23

and what I've learnt from that is my fingers go all numb

0:01:230:01:26

when I'm stressed and I'm not sure why.

0:01:260:01:29

No need to be stressed here.

0:01:290:01:31

I'm so friendly.

0:01:310:01:32

You are facing tonight, on my left, Dean Reilly,

0:01:330:01:37

a software engineer who flooded his college

0:01:370:01:39

in order to make an artificial waterway

0:01:390:01:41

for a Venetian-themed party,

0:01:410:01:44

Simon Gibbons,

0:01:440:01:45

an astrophysicist who falls asleep at parties

0:01:450:01:48

and is the husband of their captain, Mickey Alexander,

0:01:480:01:51

a medical student, who was in a play with a person,

0:01:510:01:54

who was in a play with a person,

0:01:540:01:55

who was in a film with Robert De Niro.

0:01:550:01:58

United by a passion for pints,

0:01:580:02:00

they are the Taverners.

0:02:000:02:02

Mickey, you also lost your opening heat,

0:02:020:02:04

that was against the Cosmopolitans, then you beat the Bardophiles.

0:02:040:02:07

How are you feeling about tonight's opposition?

0:02:070:02:09

Well, I think they're a pretty strong team, as far as I can tell,

0:02:090:02:12

particularly on their missing vowels round at the end,

0:02:120:02:15

which has let us down a bit before,

0:02:150:02:17

so, hopefully, we're going to be quick on the buzzer tonight.

0:02:170:02:20

I have a slight sense of being surrounded by software engineers...

0:02:200:02:23

LAUGHTER ..not for the first time

0:02:230:02:24

on this show, I'll tell you. Good luck all of you.

0:02:240:02:27

Now, the gamesmanship has started early.

0:02:270:02:29

Verbivores, you won the toss,

0:02:290:02:30

but you've decided to put your opponents in first.

0:02:300:02:32

So, Taverners, please choose a hieroglyph.

0:02:320:02:35

Do we want the Eye of Horus?

0:02:350:02:36

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Can we have the Eye of Horus, please?

0:02:360:02:38

Yes, you may.

0:02:380:02:40

What is the connection between these clues?

0:02:400:02:42

Here's the first.

0:02:420:02:43

Chief Executive of TalkTalk.

0:02:440:02:46

-Do you know who that is?

-I don't know who that is.

0:02:460:02:48

-No...

-Next.

0:02:480:02:49

7-Up mascot...

0:02:500:02:52

Is he a lemon?

0:02:520:02:54

No, I...

0:02:540:02:56

No, no, OK. He's a big number seven.

0:02:560:02:58

Er... next.

0:02:580:03:01

THEY CONFER

0:03:010:03:02

It's a good name.

0:03:050:03:06

Er...

0:03:060:03:08

Er... No. Anything? Mean anything...? Next.

0:03:080:03:10

Is Dido.

0:03:120:03:13

-That could be Dido the musician.

-Yeah.

0:03:150:03:17

Dido, yeah, I guess is the connection.

0:03:170:03:20

-Dido?

-They are all named Dido.

0:03:200:03:23

You recognised the first Queen of Carthage.

0:03:230:03:25

Do you know any of the others?

0:03:250:03:27

I'm assuming Florian, etc,

0:03:270:03:29

-is Dido the singer.

-That's right.

0:03:290:03:31

Erm...

0:03:310:03:33

-The rest I don't know.

-The 7-Up mascot, not a lemon,

0:03:330:03:35

although he looks a bit of a lemon.

0:03:350:03:37

That sort of cartoon person with the frizzy hair,

0:03:370:03:40

he's called Fido Dido,

0:03:400:03:42

and the chief executive of TalkTalk

0:03:420:03:44

is Dido Harding,

0:03:440:03:46

who was in the news a bit a couple of years ago

0:03:460:03:48

after a sort of hack of information.

0:03:480:03:50

All named Dido for a point. Well done.

0:03:500:03:52

Verbivores, what would you like?

0:03:520:03:54

Horned Viper, please.

0:03:540:03:55

The Horned Viper, OK.

0:03:550:03:56

What is the connection between these clues?

0:03:560:03:58

Here's the first.

0:03:580:04:00

-Paddies?

-What was that?

-Paddies.

-Paddy...

0:04:020:04:05

-Let's go for the next one.

-Next, please.

0:04:060:04:09

Three stars. Is that Paddy as well?

0:04:090:04:11

I don't know. Next, please.

0:04:120:04:14

That's Lego, that's Lego. Is it all Lego?

0:04:160:04:18

Er... plausibly. And... thing.

0:04:180:04:21

Or is it, is it the name of a brand of...?

0:04:220:04:25

I mean, does Samsung mean three stars, for example?

0:04:250:04:27

-Er...

-Are we going to get to see Mitsubishi, three diamonds?

0:04:270:04:31

Possibly. Do you want the next?

0:04:310:04:33

Let's go for it.

0:04:330:04:36

Er, are these the English translations

0:04:360:04:40

of brands from these countries?

0:04:400:04:43

Yes, they are, well done.

0:04:430:04:44

What you've actually got in fourth place is German,

0:04:440:04:47

people's car, Volkswagen.

0:04:470:04:49

What are the companies that you're looking at here?

0:04:490:04:52

I'm guessing Korean is Samsung,

0:04:520:04:54

cos that's the only company I can name from Korea.

0:04:540:04:57

That's right,

0:04:570:04:58

three stars would be thought of as something powerful and big

0:04:580:05:00

and, for Korean superstition, or law, that is what that is.

0:05:000:05:04

-Play well is Lego.

-That's right.

0:05:040:05:06

I don't know what growing rice fields is.

0:05:060:05:08

-Growing rice fields, minolta.

-Oh.

0:05:080:05:11

It sounds like the Japanese term, minolta, for growing rice fields.

0:05:110:05:14

Apparently, it reminded the founder of the company

0:05:140:05:16

of the ancient proverb,

0:05:160:05:17

"the ripest ears of rice bow their heads lowest."

0:05:170:05:22

Yeah, so, I hope the winners of tonight's show

0:05:220:05:25

bow their head like a low ear of corn.

0:05:250:05:27

And if you've tuned in just for that sentence, welcome.

0:05:270:05:30

Taverners, what would you like?

0:05:320:05:33

-Er,

-Lion. Lion.

0:05:330:05:35

What is the connection between these clues?

0:05:350:05:37

Here's the first.

0:05:370:05:38

Charles Percy, that rings a bell,

0:05:390:05:40

I think he was...

0:05:400:05:42

he's a historical figure...

0:05:420:05:44

-I agree.

-Shall we have the...?

0:05:440:05:46

Next.

0:05:460:05:47

-Cecil Scott.

-Cecil Scott.

0:05:480:05:50

Erm...

0:05:500:05:52

INDISTINCT

0:05:520:05:53

No, he was...

0:05:530:05:55

-Do we need another one?

-Yes.

0:05:560:05:58

Next.

0:05:580:05:59

Pamela Lyndon.

0:05:590:06:01

Are they previous names, so Pamela Anderson?

0:06:030:06:06

No, I think they're...

0:06:060:06:07

Er, next.

0:06:070:06:08

Gilbert Keith.

0:06:100:06:11

There's something at the back of my mind here.

0:06:110:06:14

Three seconds.

0:06:140:06:16

So, we think that they are,

0:06:170:06:22

erm...

0:06:220:06:23

They are the first names of...

0:06:240:06:27

members of the Rolling Stones, I don't know...

0:06:270:06:30

My goodness, and which one of the Rolling Stones is Pamela Lyndon?

0:06:310:06:35

That would be Mick Jagger's real name.

0:06:350:06:37

Yeah, I mean wouldn't that be lovely?

0:06:370:06:39

-He might have changed it.

-I'm afraid that is not the answer,

0:06:390:06:42

so a possible bonus point for the Verbivores.

0:06:420:06:43

They are people who are known by

0:06:430:06:46

their first two initials,

0:06:460:06:47

GK Chesterton, for example.

0:06:470:06:49

-Um...

-I need something more specific for a bonus point.

0:06:490:06:52

-They're writers.

-Writers.

0:06:520:06:54

They are the first names of authors,

0:06:540:06:56

not members of the Rolling Stones, but authors.

0:06:560:06:58

Yes, GK Chesterton at clue four, who are the others?

0:06:580:07:01

Er, CS Lewis.

0:07:010:07:03

No, that's Clive Staples, actually, CS Lewis...

0:07:030:07:05

Cecil Scott is CS Forester.

0:07:050:07:07

-CP Snow?

-And Charles Percy is CP Snow.

0:07:070:07:09

-And you got...

-PL Travers?

0:07:090:07:11

Yes, Pamela Lyndon, PL Travers.

0:07:110:07:13

Although her birth name was actually Helen Lyndon Goff,

0:07:130:07:15

but her writer's name was Pamela Lyndon Travers, or PL Travers.

0:07:150:07:19

First names of initialled authors.

0:07:190:07:21

Well done for the bonus point.

0:07:210:07:23

And what about your own question?

0:07:230:07:25

Water, please.

0:07:250:07:26

Water. What connects these clues?

0:07:260:07:27

Here's the first.

0:07:270:07:29

-Something Bill.

-OK, anyone?

0:07:290:07:32

Next, please.

0:07:320:07:34

Something...

0:07:360:07:38

It's... No, I've not got this.

0:07:380:07:41

Next.

0:07:410:07:42

Right, what are we doing here?

0:07:450:07:46

Are they brands, or, er...?

0:07:480:07:49

My home page? My baby?

0:07:530:07:54

Next.

0:07:550:07:56

String? I don't know.

0:07:580:08:00

Er...

0:08:000:08:02

Something home page? Quartet?

0:08:020:08:04

Three seconds.

0:08:050:08:06

Based on the last one, string.

0:08:090:08:12

Not the answer I'm afraid.

0:08:120:08:13

So, Taverners,

0:08:130:08:14

your chance for a bonus point.

0:08:140:08:16

Erm...

0:08:160:08:17

Er...

0:08:180:08:20

The only other quartet I can think of is Raj,

0:08:200:08:22

but I don't think that fits with any of the other...

0:08:220:08:25

That's not it either.

0:08:250:08:26

That first clue is a reference to the last

0:08:260:08:29

top ten hit for the singer, Whitney Houston.

0:08:290:08:32

It was Million Dollar Bill.

0:08:320:08:34

Million Dollar Baby

0:08:340:08:35

is the Clint Eastwood film from 2005.

0:08:350:08:38

Anyone remember the Million Dollar Home Page?

0:08:380:08:40

Yeah, he bought pixels at a dollar a pixel.

0:08:400:08:42

That's right,

0:08:420:08:43

a sort of gimmicky website set up by a student and you could

0:08:430:08:46

buy pixels for a dollar a pixel, and Million Dollar Quartet,

0:08:460:08:49

do you know who was in that?

0:08:490:08:51

Oh, yeah, Jerry Lee Lewis,

0:08:510:08:53

Johnny Cash,

0:08:530:08:55

-Roy Orbison and...

-Not Roy Orbison,

0:08:550:08:57

Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley.

0:08:570:08:58

Carl Perkins...

0:08:580:08:59

Yeah, fantastic sort of one-off super group.

0:08:590:09:01

See, the information was all there,

0:09:010:09:03

but you couldn't grab it at the key moment.

0:09:030:09:05

No points there, then.

0:09:050:09:06

Taverners, what would you like?

0:09:060:09:08

-Er, Two Reeds, please.

-Two Reeds, OK.

0:09:080:09:11

These are going to be picture clues.

0:09:110:09:13

What connects them? Here's the first.

0:09:130:09:15

-That is a fish.

-It's a fish. Is it a Dover sole, or...?

0:09:160:09:19

-Could be sole.

-Yeah.

0:09:190:09:20

Next.

0:09:220:09:23

Is it...?

0:09:240:09:25

That's a partridge, isn't it?

0:09:250:09:26

-Grouse?

-Or is it grouse?

0:09:260:09:28

INDISTINCT

0:09:280:09:30

Things that are famous?

0:09:300:09:31

Yeah, Famous Grouse.

0:09:310:09:33

-We need another one, don't we?

-Yeah, I think so.

-Next.

0:09:330:09:36

So that's a mother.

0:09:370:09:39

The other word for a female dog,

0:09:390:09:40

which we probably shouldn't say.

0:09:400:09:41

-Yeah.

-Er...

0:09:410:09:42

Mother dog.

0:09:440:09:45

Mother dog?

0:09:450:09:46

Oh, they're all things that mean to complain,

0:09:460:09:48

-so grouse, bitch...

-Yeah.

0:09:480:09:50

Words that mean to complain.

0:09:510:09:53

-Carp.

-Carp.

-That's right,

0:09:530:09:54

I'm afraid you must use the word bitch in this instance.

0:09:540:09:57

We're looking at grouse, bitch,

0:09:570:10:00

beef you didn't need to see

0:10:000:10:01

- and so what will the first one be?

0:10:010:10:02

-Carp.

-It's a carp, not a sole.

0:10:020:10:04

Carp, grouse, bitch, beef,

0:10:040:10:06

they are verbs to complain.

0:10:060:10:08

Well done, for two points.

0:10:080:10:09

Verbivores, there is one question left,

0:10:090:10:11

the wick of Twisted Flax - and I think we know what we haven't heard.

0:10:110:10:14

-Oh, well.

-We have now, it is the music question.

0:10:140:10:17

What do these audio clues have in common?

0:10:170:10:20

Here's the first.

0:10:200:10:21

# Splash, up in the sky...

0:10:210:10:24

# A jet plane... #

0:10:240:10:26

Next.

0:10:260:10:27

# Gloria!

0:10:270:10:29

# I'm gonna shout it out now!

0:10:290:10:31

# Gloria! #

0:10:310:10:33

Next.

0:10:330:10:35

# Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy

0:10:350:10:37

# But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

0:10:370:10:40

-# Oh, my Lola... #

-Lola, Lola. erm...

0:10:400:10:44

Next.

0:10:440:10:46

# What you are... #

0:10:460:10:47

Spelling out letters...

0:10:470:10:49

Spelling out words, R-S-P-C-T.

0:10:490:10:51

Yeah...

0:10:510:10:52

They all contain the singer spelling something out.

0:10:540:10:58

Yes, you are absolutely right.

0:10:580:10:59

All these songs have a moment

0:10:590:11:01

where the titles are spelt out.

0:11:010:11:03

What did we hear?

0:11:030:11:04

Er, there was Lola and Respect...

0:11:040:11:06

-Mm-hm?

-..and some others.

0:11:060:11:08

The second one was Gloria and the first one, Fergie's Glamorous.

0:11:080:11:11

All songs where the title is spelt out.

0:11:110:11:13

Well done.

0:11:130:11:14

That means, at the end of round one, the Taverners

0:11:140:11:17

have three points,

0:11:170:11:18

the Verbivores have four.

0:11:180:11:20

Onto the sequences - and it will be your turn again, Taverners.

0:11:220:11:25

What would you like?

0:11:250:11:26

Er, can we have the Horned Viper, please?

0:11:260:11:29

Yes, you may. So, you're going to see the first of a sequence.

0:11:290:11:32

I want to know what you'd expect to come fourth.

0:11:320:11:34

Time starts now.

0:11:340:11:35

Anita and three girls:

0:11:370:11:38

Life can be bright.

0:11:380:11:40

-It sounds like a...

-It doesn't.

0:11:400:11:42

Next.

0:11:420:11:43

Are they...?

0:11:460:11:47

-Charity...?

-Charities? No, that's Barnardo's.

0:11:470:11:49

Oh, yeah.

0:11:490:11:50

I think we're going to need...

0:11:500:11:52

I think we're going to need another.

0:11:520:11:54

But if we can find...

0:11:540:11:55

Oh, it'll be people singing

0:11:550:11:57

the lines in a charity song,

0:11:570:11:58

-or something like that.

-Yeah.

0:11:580:12:00

Um, next.

0:12:000:12:01

It's... No, it'll be from, it's from a musical.

0:12:040:12:06

Do you know what it is?

0:12:060:12:08

So shall we say All Boys...?

0:12:090:12:11

-If you...

-Three seconds.

0:12:120:12:14

Er, we're going to say, 'All Boys:

0:12:150:12:19

Er...

0:12:190:12:20

Er...

0:12:220:12:23

'When You're Out At Night.'

0:12:230:12:25

I don't know.

0:12:250:12:26

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:12:280:12:29

I'll come back to you in a moment. Verbivores,

0:12:290:12:31

would you like to have a go for a bonus point?

0:12:310:12:33

Everyone: Turn Out The Light?

0:12:330:12:35

That's not it either, but I think you've all got a future

0:12:350:12:38

in musical theatre. No, now, are you not fans of West Side Story?

0:12:380:12:42

-I thought it might be that.

-You're right it's a musical,

0:12:420:12:44

you're right this is a song.

0:12:440:12:46

I don't think any of you would've dared guess this lyric

0:12:460:12:49

if you didn't know it. It's...

0:12:490:12:51

Oh, weird.

0:12:530:12:54

Yes, it's the exchange between Puerto Rican women

0:12:540:12:57

about the sufferings that they're experiencing

0:12:570:12:59

and their shark partners - and the boys sing back

0:12:590:13:02

"If You're All White".

0:13:020:13:04

So, no points there. Verbivores, what would you like?

0:13:040:13:06

-Eye of Horus, please.

-The Eye of Horus.

0:13:060:13:09

What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:13:090:13:10

Here's the first.

0:13:100:13:11

Hmm. OK.

0:13:130:13:14

28: 3 in 48.

0:13:140:13:17

It's like perfect, times seven, four...

0:13:190:13:21

Next, please.

0:13:230:13:25

29: 1 in 48.

0:13:250:13:28

Ah, what's 28 got three of?

0:13:290:13:32

Next.

0:13:340:13:36

30: 16 in 48.

0:13:360:13:38

Oh, is it...?

0:13:380:13:40

No, it's not. Er...

0:13:400:13:42

It's not probabilities, is it?

0:13:420:13:44

30, 16, 48.

0:13:440:13:46

13... We'll have to go with something.

0:13:460:13:48

I'll defer to Tom, I think.

0:13:520:13:54

31: 1 in 48.

0:13:540:13:56

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:13:560:13:58

Taverners, do you want to have a go for a bonus point?

0:13:580:14:01

-Sorry...

-It's going to be...

0:14:010:14:03

erm...

0:14:030:14:05

It's going to be four sevens, isn't it? So...

0:14:050:14:07

I need to hurry you.

0:14:070:14:08

So we're going to say 31 is...

0:14:080:14:11

How is it four sevens?

0:14:110:14:13

That's far too many.

0:14:130:14:15

-How many months have...?

-No, that's, that's too long, I'm afraid.

0:14:150:14:18

What you needed to do is complete that sum.

0:14:180:14:19

It is four sevens. 31: 28 in 48.

0:14:190:14:23

Why do you say 1 in 48?

0:14:230:14:25

I was thinking prime numbers

0:14:250:14:28

and factors and hadn't anything further out.

0:14:280:14:30

No, I think you know over there

0:14:300:14:32

this is a four-year cycle,

0:14:320:14:34

a usual four-year cycle of months.

0:14:340:14:37

I think, every few hundred years, it's a bit different,

0:14:370:14:39

but in a usual four-year cycle,

0:14:390:14:41

three of the months have 28 days.

0:14:410:14:43

One - of course, the leap year - is 29,

0:14:430:14:46

16 have 30 and there are seven 31-day months in a year.

0:14:460:14:50

So, as you say, Simon,

0:14:500:14:52

it would be 28, although you didn't say that,

0:14:520:14:53

you said it would be four sevens.

0:14:530:14:55

Just fell at the last hurdle there.

0:14:550:14:57

So, well done, but not quite good enough for the point.

0:14:570:15:00

However, you may choose a question.

0:15:000:15:02

-Do you want to choose?

-Let's go Lion, please.

0:15:020:15:05

I'm worried there's marital discord.

0:15:050:15:07

LAUGHTER Nobody did anything wrong.

0:15:070:15:09

He'll forgive me later.

0:15:090:15:10

Let the newlywed sunshine continue with your next question.

0:15:100:15:14

What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:15:140:15:17

Here's the first.

0:15:170:15:18

-Chamber of Stone?

-Er, possibly.

0:15:200:15:22

THEY CONFER

0:15:220:15:24

-That's true.

-Oh, yes.

0:15:300:15:32

We probably need another one to...

0:15:320:15:33

So, we want the other one to work out the sequence.

0:15:330:15:35

Next.

0:15:350:15:37

-Yes.

-Yes.

-So, I've not read them, so....

0:15:370:15:39

So it's... Azkaban's the next one.

0:15:390:15:41

Prisoner of Azkaban. And then it's...

0:15:410:15:44

Erm, then it's the...

0:15:450:15:47

Goblet of Azkaban.

0:15:470:15:49

And then it will be Order of the Phoenix,

0:15:490:15:52

Order of the Fire.

0:15:520:15:54

-Order of the Fire.

-Three seconds.

0:15:540:15:56

Order of the Fire.

0:15:570:15:58

Is the right answer.

0:15:580:15:59

You could've come in after one clue

0:15:590:16:01

for five points there.

0:16:010:16:02

Very well calculated.

0:16:020:16:03

What are we looking at?

0:16:030:16:05

They're Harry Potter books,

0:16:050:16:07

so that's the...second book

0:16:070:16:10

and then the previous book is the end of the title for it.

0:16:100:16:13

That's right, it's the first four Harry Potter books,

0:16:130:16:15

but we've replaced the first part of each

0:16:150:16:17

with the corresponding part of its successor.

0:16:170:16:20

Verbivores, what would you like?

0:16:200:16:22

-Twisted Flax, please.

-The Twisted Flax.

0:16:220:16:24

What would be fourth in this sequence?

0:16:240:16:26

Here's the first.

0:16:260:16:27

Point-two. Next, please.

0:16:290:16:31

Is it a fifth, a fourth, a third, a half?

0:16:310:16:34

That's going to be too... We're going to have to see the next one,

0:16:340:16:37

aren't we? Er, yeah.

0:16:370:16:38

-Yeah.

-Next, please.

0:16:400:16:42

It's just point-five.

0:16:420:16:44

And one third, yeah.

0:16:440:16:47

Point-five.

0:16:470:16:48

This wasn't lateral thinking at all, it is point-five,

0:16:480:16:51

it is just decimalisation of fractions.

0:16:510:16:54

A fifth, a quarter, a third, a half,

0:16:540:16:56

point-five. You're supposed to go down a very

0:16:560:16:58

complicated path thinking, what could the dot represent?

0:16:580:17:01

What are there 25 of?

0:17:010:17:02

But it is simply fractions.

0:17:020:17:04

Back to you, Taverners, for a choice.

0:17:040:17:07

-Water, please.

-Water. These are going to be picture clues.

0:17:070:17:09

What sort of thing would you expect to see in the fourth picture?

0:17:090:17:12

Here's the first.

0:17:120:17:14

-Pirates?

-Pirates, is that?

0:17:140:17:16

Pirates of the Caribbean.

0:17:160:17:17

Yeah. It's just some Pirates.

0:17:170:17:19

-Shall we go for another one?

-Yeah.

0:17:190:17:20

Next.

0:17:200:17:22

Pirates.

0:17:230:17:24

-Angry?

-I don't recognise that guy off anything.

0:17:240:17:27

Pirates, rage.

0:17:270:17:29

Mm...

0:17:300:17:32

Next.

0:17:320:17:34

Rat.

0:17:340:17:35

Pirate, rage, rat.

0:17:350:17:37

Is it a rat or a mouse? It's a rat.

0:17:370:17:39

-That's a rat.

-Pirate, angry, rat.

0:17:390:17:42

-It's not pirate...

-INDISTINCT

0:17:420:17:43

No.

0:17:430:17:44

Er...

0:17:470:17:48

Two seconds.

0:17:500:17:52

We're... Dean would like to suggest something.

0:17:550:17:58

-That's mean.

-Yeah, it is, isn't it?

0:17:580:18:00

-Um...

-What would you like to suggest, Dean?

0:18:000:18:03

I have no idea.

0:18:030:18:04

I don't think this is one you can guess.

0:18:040:18:06

-A sword?

-A hat.

0:18:060:18:07

It's not a sword.

0:18:070:18:08

It's not a hat, either.

0:18:080:18:09

That's an extra tip for you, Verbivores, not a sword or a hat.

0:18:090:18:12

Would you like to have a go for a bonus point?

0:18:120:18:13

The indefinite article.

0:18:130:18:15

It is the indefinite article.

0:18:150:18:17

Well done. This is your sort of question, really, isn't it?

0:18:170:18:19

-What's going on here?

-Well, Tom spotted this one.

0:18:190:18:22

Pirates, irate, rat,

0:18:220:18:24

a... They start and end each time.

0:18:240:18:26

That is the horrible thing.

0:18:260:18:27

That second picture denotes irate.

0:18:270:18:29

We're taking the end letters off.

0:18:290:18:31

Pirates, irate, rat,

0:18:310:18:33

and then just the letter A in the middle.

0:18:330:18:35

Well spotted, Verbivores, and you get the last question of the round,

0:18:350:18:38

the Two Reeds.

0:18:380:18:40

What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:18:400:18:42

Here's the first.

0:18:420:18:44

Plymouth Argyle in green.

0:18:440:18:45

Do they play in green?

0:18:450:18:47

-I have no idea.

-Next.

0:18:470:18:49

Norwich City in blue.

0:18:500:18:52

INDISTINCT

0:18:520:18:53

Norwich City are canaries, so yellow bird, but...

0:18:540:18:57

Have they got to the Cup Final? I don't know.

0:18:570:19:01

Next, please.

0:19:010:19:02

Blackpool in orange.

0:19:020:19:04

Oh, it's just going to be a team that plays in red.

0:19:040:19:06

Any team that plays in red, isn't it?

0:19:060:19:08

Because it's going up the rainbow.

0:19:080:19:10

Or if it's their nicknames...

0:19:100:19:12

-So Manchester United, the Red Devils.

-OK.

0:19:120:19:15

Er, Manchester United in red.

0:19:150:19:17

We went with Liverpool,

0:19:170:19:19

but Manchester United in red

0:19:190:19:20

is an acceptable answer for two points.

0:19:200:19:22

Well done. What's the sequence?

0:19:220:19:24

I think it's the colours of the rainbow

0:19:240:19:26

going backwards from green and a team, a football team,

0:19:260:19:29

that plays in that home strip.

0:19:290:19:30

Exactly right - and we've got the Green Army, Plymouth Argyle,

0:19:300:19:33

the Canaries there in yellow,

0:19:330:19:35

Norwich and Blackpool, nicknamed the Tangerines.

0:19:350:19:38

So we needed a red team - and Manchester United would be one.

0:19:380:19:41

That means, at the end of round two, the Taverners have six points,

0:19:410:19:44

the Verbivores have nine.

0:19:440:19:46

Time now for round four, the Connecting Wall,

0:19:490:19:51

and, Verbivores, you've chosen to go first this time

0:19:510:19:54

by virtue of choosing to go second before,

0:19:540:19:56

so you have the choice - Lion or Water.

0:19:560:19:58

-We'll have Water, please.

-The Water Wall.

0:19:580:20:00

Two and half minutes to solve it, starting now.

0:20:000:20:03

Optimus, Optimus Prime...?

0:20:050:20:07

Sounds like songs by someone.

0:20:080:20:10

What - like, Sweetest Thing is one.

0:20:100:20:12

New Year's Day...

0:20:120:20:14

I haven't got anything on this.

0:20:170:20:19

The Fly - it's a film,

0:20:190:20:20

but I don't know if we've got other films in here.

0:20:200:20:23

Revolution's the name of a film.

0:20:230:20:25

I think...

0:20:250:20:27

Like that, for example.

0:20:270:20:28

BUZZ

0:20:280:20:31

-Desire...

-So, Xperia's a travel company,

0:20:310:20:34

do we have any others of that?

0:20:340:20:35

Travel companies...

0:20:350:20:37

Desire sounds like it could be one.

0:20:370:20:38

-Galaxy.

-Galaxy - you're travelling quite far there, but OK!

0:20:380:20:42

And...who wouldn't call a travel company Lumia?

0:20:420:20:45

-BUZZ

-No.

0:20:450:20:46

No, I don't think we're going to get anywhere with that.

0:20:460:20:49

-So...

-I think Sweetest Thing and Elevation might be U2 songs,

0:20:490:20:53

-but I'm not sure about that.

-Possibly.

0:20:530:20:56

-Those two?

-No.

-BUZZ

0:20:570:20:59

I think we might have gone with those before, didn't we?

0:20:590:21:02

What's New Year's Day there for?

0:21:020:21:03

Is this something to do with one of one?

0:21:030:21:06

Optimus Prime, "prime" means one.

0:21:060:21:08

First...

0:21:080:21:10

Yes.

0:21:100:21:12

Timbers. What's timbers doing there?

0:21:120:21:14

We've got Latin phrases - Lumia's light, isn't it?

0:21:140:21:17

And Optimus. So we've got... That sounds like it could be...

0:21:170:21:23

That one?

0:21:240:21:25

-BUZZ

-These aren't anything

0:21:250:21:27

if you change one letter like Saunders or Crow?

0:21:270:21:30

-Crow...

-No.

0:21:300:21:32

BUZZ

0:21:360:21:37

Yeah, it's... Revolution, there was the Russian Revolution, for example,

0:21:370:21:42

-or the...

-Something in colour...

0:21:420:21:46

-It's...

-30 seconds.

0:21:460:21:48

Er... No.

0:21:490:21:50

So, we've got... I think those go together for some reason.

0:21:520:21:54

So...

0:21:540:21:57

BUZZ

0:21:570:21:58

Something I think revolution as well. But...

0:21:580:22:01

BUZZ

0:22:010:22:02

-BUZZ

-Have we got missing words?

0:22:030:22:05

Ten seconds.

0:22:050:22:06

Xperia, Xperian? That one.

0:22:060:22:09

BUZZ

0:22:090:22:10

Let's try... Yeah, we've got nothing.

0:22:120:22:15

Wall-tastrophe.

0:22:150:22:16

The time's up, and it's frozen -

0:22:160:22:17

but don't worry, the other one's very difficult, as well,

0:22:170:22:20

and you can still get points for the connections -

0:22:200:22:22

so let's resolve the Wall.

0:22:220:22:24

There you go, that's how it should have been.

0:22:240:22:26

What about the first blue group?

0:22:260:22:27

Timbers, Sounders, Crew, Galaxy.

0:22:270:22:31

-Er...

-Is it worth trying changing one letter?

0:22:310:22:34

You change one letter and get another word?

0:22:340:22:36

No, no, it's not a word one at all.

0:22:360:22:38

They're American soccer teams.

0:22:380:22:40

LA Galaxy, Portland Timbers, Seattle Sounders and Columbus Crew.

0:22:400:22:45

American football teams.

0:22:450:22:46

And the Green group - Desire, Lumia, Optimus and Xperia.

0:22:460:22:52

Is this something to do with cameras?

0:22:520:22:54

-Magnifying glasses...

-Only in the most massively indistinct way.

0:22:550:22:59

I'm afraid they are makers of Smartphone.

0:22:590:23:02

They probably all have cameras on them -

0:23:020:23:04

but Smartphones is what they are.

0:23:040:23:06

And the next group -

0:23:060:23:08

The Fly, Sweetest Thing, Elevation and New Year's Day.

0:23:080:23:12

-U2 songs.

-U2 songs?

0:23:120:23:13

They are U2 songs.

0:23:130:23:15

-I think you knew there were some there...

-I knew two, but...

0:23:150:23:17

That's the thing with U2, anything could be a song title,

0:23:170:23:19

they could just have easily

0:23:190:23:21

have released a Crew or Xperia - but that's it.

0:23:210:23:24

And the last turquoise group starting Frozen in Time.

0:23:240:23:28

Films starring Keanu Reeves.

0:23:280:23:31

Not it, I'm afraid.

0:23:310:23:33

They are stunts by David Blaine.

0:23:330:23:34

The one you might know, Above the Below,

0:23:340:23:36

that's the one he did in London,

0:23:360:23:37

you know, he was in a glass box over the Thames.

0:23:370:23:39

-The box on the Thames, yeah.

-Exactly.

0:23:390:23:41

All of them David Blaine stunts.

0:23:410:23:43

So, unfortunately, you didn't find any groups

0:23:430:23:45

but you do get a point for the connections,

0:23:450:23:47

so that is a total of one.

0:23:470:23:48

We're going to bring in the Taverners now

0:23:480:23:50

and give them a horrible Connecting Wall

0:23:500:23:52

and see what they can do about sorting it.

0:23:520:23:54

It's going to be the Lion Wall for you because the Water's been taken.

0:23:540:23:57

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

0:23:570:24:01

-What have we got? We have...

-Oh, we've got Star Trek movies,

0:24:020:24:04

so we've got Into Darkness and Nemesis.

0:24:040:24:07

Yes, OK, very nice.

0:24:070:24:09

Helter Skelter, Rita, Michelle, Glass Onion...

0:24:090:24:11

-and Across the Universe.

-BUZZ

0:24:110:24:12

-..Across the Universe...

-So, leave out Rita.

0:24:120:24:15

BUZZ

0:24:160:24:17

-Leave out...

-I think, yeah, because...

0:24:170:24:20

-Three strikes and you're out now.

-Sketch, Maxxie, Sid and Anwar -

0:24:200:24:23

Sid is the one I said you looked like earlier, are from...

0:24:230:24:25

-Excellent, yeah.

-That one, whatever it's called.

0:24:250:24:28

-Skins.

-That's the one.

0:24:280:24:29

So, which means we've got The Swarm, Revolution and Big One.

0:24:290:24:32

Does that mean anything?

0:24:320:24:33

-Oh, aren't they rides at Alton Towers or something?

-Ah, yes.

-Yes!

0:24:330:24:36

Could well be.

0:24:360:24:37

So, which do you think the other one is?

0:24:370:24:40

-It's got to be Sketch.

-No, it's Rita.

0:24:400:24:41

-Oh, is it Rita?

-Rita Speed, because it's a backwards acronym,

0:24:410:24:44

it stands for Alton Towers Interim Rocket.

0:24:440:24:46

That's good knowledge!

0:24:460:24:47

-Should I press it?

-Yeah, go for it.

-Yeah.

0:24:470:24:49

You've solved the Wall! Very well done, excellent.

0:24:510:24:55

Now, what about some points for the connections?

0:24:550:24:57

The first blue group, starting Into Darkness.

0:24:570:25:00

They are Star Trek films.

0:25:000:25:02

They are Star Trek films.

0:25:020:25:03

I feel like it's been all of seven minutes

0:25:030:25:05

since we had a Star Trek question, so...

0:25:050:25:07

And the green group starting Helter Skelter.

0:25:070:25:09

They're all Beatles songs.

0:25:090:25:11

They are Beatles songs.

0:25:110:25:12

And the next pink group, starting The Swarm.

0:25:160:25:18

I think they're all rides, amusement park rides.

0:25:180:25:22

They are.

0:25:220:25:23

Can you be any more specific?

0:25:230:25:24

I think they're all at Alton Towers.

0:25:240:25:25

They're actually not all Alton Towers, but they are all rides,

0:25:250:25:28

so I'll take it. I think they're all officially roller-coasters.

0:25:280:25:31

-Oh, OK, yeah.

-But that might just be my very old-fashioned word.

0:25:310:25:33

The Big One's in Blackpool, isn't it?

0:25:330:25:35

-Oh, is it?

-Yeah.

0:25:350:25:37

All fairground rides - and the last turquoise group...

0:25:370:25:40

They're all characters from Skins.

0:25:430:25:45

They are from Channel 4's Skins.

0:25:450:25:47

So, you did find all the groups and all the connections.

0:25:470:25:50

That is a maximum of ten points.

0:25:500:25:52

Very well done. Let's see how that affects scores.

0:25:520:25:55

The Taverners have 16 points, the Verbivores have 10 points.

0:25:550:26:00

But we're going to play round four, the missing vowels round.

0:26:020:26:05

I think, in your last heat, you overcame a 7-point gap here,

0:26:050:26:09

so can you do the same again?

0:26:090:26:11

Someone's going to round three, someone's going home.

0:26:110:26:14

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:26:140:26:16

I can tell you that the first group are all football tricks.

0:26:160:26:20

0:26:590:27:00

Too late, it's Rod, Jane and Freddy.

0:27:000:27:02

Next clue.

0:27:020:27:04

Next category, TV series set during the 1940s.

0:27:340:27:36

That last one Tenko - but the bell has gone for the end of the quiz -

0:27:480:27:52

and, looking at the final scores,

0:27:520:27:54

the Taverners have 18 points,

0:27:540:27:56

the Verbivores have 19,

0:27:560:27:58

you've done it again.

0:27:580:28:00

Turned around that gap,

0:28:000:28:02

and you have won

0:28:020:28:03

and are through to round three.

0:28:030:28:05

Taverners, I am so sorry to lose you, you've been a great team.

0:28:050:28:08

Mickey, you have looked excellent throughout this quiz.

0:28:080:28:11

I've very much enjoyed your wardrobe and your quizzing.

0:28:110:28:14

Very sorry to say goodbye -

0:28:140:28:16

but that's it, the show's over.

0:28:160:28:18

It is time for us to go home.

0:28:180:28:19

And frankly, it's time for you to leave home.

0:28:190:28:21

Really, you need to get out.

0:28:210:28:22

You're getting pale. Just go for a bag of chips.

0:28:220:28:25

Salt and vinegar? I thought so.

0:28:250:28:28

Goodbye.
