It's holiday time, and I say that in the full knowledge

0:00:210:00:24

that I have absolutely no idea when this show is being broadcast,

0:00:240:00:28

but I consider myself to be currently on holiday.

0:00:280:00:32

Must be the Feast of St Someone.

0:00:320:00:34

So, I'm going to celebrate by having a few more drinks while you meet,

0:00:340:00:37

on my right, Andy Davis, a keen marathon runner

0:00:370:00:42

who chatted to Sally Gunnell when his flight was delayed from Geneva,

0:00:420:00:46

Tony Moore, a maths graduate

0:00:460:00:48

who discovered he had appeared on candid camera in Belgium

0:00:480:00:51

when he caught himself on television in Iceland,

0:00:510:00:54

and their captain Jonathan Elliott,

0:00:540:00:57

a Scout leader who, while wearing his uniform,

0:00:570:00:59

was mistaken for a member of the Hitler Youth.

0:00:590:01:02

United by a soft spot for spices, they are the Fire-Eaters.

0:01:020:01:06

You won your first heat against the Eurovisionaries.

0:01:060:01:09

How are you feeling about tonight's game?

0:01:090:01:11

I think the game's only going to get harder,

0:01:110:01:13

but we're just going to see how the questions go

0:01:130:01:15

and try to be as aggressive on the buzzer as we can.

0:01:150:01:17

Well, let's see who will be the victims of your aggression.

0:01:170:01:20

They are, on my left, Elysia Warner,

0:01:200:01:24

a linguistics student who appeared on television in China

0:01:240:01:27

while suffering from typhoid,

0:01:270:01:29

Olivier Grouille, a PhD student who has been described on social media

0:01:290:01:33

as a time-travelling Victorian supervillain,

0:01:330:01:36

and their captain Sarah Binney, a master's student who likes cats

0:01:360:01:41

and has hitchhiked across Switzerland.

0:01:410:01:43

All students at Clare College, Cambridge, they are the Clareites.

0:01:430:01:46

Now, you won your heat against the Wrestlers.

0:01:460:01:49

What advice have you got for your team-mates

0:01:490:01:51

-ahead of tonight's game?

-Well, in our last game,

0:01:510:01:53

we were picking our hieroglyphs rather randomly,

0:01:530:01:55

and I now see the error of our ways.

0:01:550:01:57

We've got a much better strategy for this game.

0:01:570:02:00

And, additionally, we've all been informed

0:02:000:02:02

to make eye contact with the other team at all times

0:02:020:02:05

to establish dominance.

0:02:050:02:07

Well, that sounds extremely sinister.

0:02:070:02:10

Part of your strategy tonight involves winning the toss

0:02:100:02:12

but putting the other team in first. Gamesmanship.

0:02:120:02:16

So, Fire-Eaters, you will be

0:02:160:02:17

kicking off. Please choose a hieroglyph.

0:02:170:02:20

Twisted Flax, please.

0:02:200:02:22

-Will that be a good choice?

-Oh, dear.

0:02:220:02:24

It is the music question.

0:02:240:02:25

What is the connection between these clues?

0:02:250:02:28

Here's the first.

0:02:280:02:29

# Well, honey, you can do it

0:02:290:02:31

# Do it to me all night long... #

0:02:310:02:33

I don't know what the song is. Any ideas?

0:02:330:02:35

No? OK, next, please.

0:02:350:02:37

# Hello? Did you call me? #

0:02:370:02:41

No idea. Do we know who the singer might be or anything?

0:02:410:02:44

-No.

-Literally no idea? Next, please.

0:02:440:02:46

'50S ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC PLAYS

0:02:460:02:49

I've heard this, I think.

0:02:490:02:50

# Well, I said come on over, baby We got chicken in the barn... #

0:02:500:02:55

Next, do we think? Next, please.

0:02:550:02:57

ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

0:02:570:03:00

-That's Led Zeppelin, isn't it?

-OK, so...

0:03:000:03:03

-What's the song called?

-# You need cooling

0:03:030:03:05

-# Baby, I'm not fooling... #

-Three seconds.

0:03:050:03:07

BUZZER

0:03:070:03:10

Forms of transport.

0:03:100:03:12

I'm not sure that any of them

0:03:120:03:15

involves a form of transport.

0:03:150:03:17

So, Clareites, there's a chance

0:03:170:03:18

of a bonus point.

0:03:180:03:20

We think they were all sung on Top Of The Pops.

0:03:200:03:22

Well, first of all,

0:03:220:03:24

that applies to almost every pop song ever,

0:03:240:03:27

but funnily enough,

0:03:270:03:28

not to all of these.

0:03:280:03:29

So, that's not it. What forms

0:03:290:03:31

of transport do you think you heard?

0:03:310:03:33

Well, I was told by my team-mates it might be Led Zeppelin.

0:03:330:03:36

Right. Oh, you're thinking of a zeppelin

0:03:360:03:38

as a form of transport.

0:03:380:03:39

You're in a hurry.

0:03:390:03:40

Yeah, well, it is Led Zeppelin -

0:03:400:03:42

-Led Zeppelin, Whole Lotta Love.

-OK.

0:03:420:03:45

We also heard AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie,

0:03:450:03:47

Girls Aloud - Whole Lotta History, and Jerry Lee Lewis -

0:03:470:03:50

Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On...

0:03:500:03:51

Oh, I knew I'd heard the third one.

0:03:510:03:53

-..which does sound like the bus.

-Yeah.

0:03:530:03:55

But, yes, no forms of transport,

0:03:550:03:57

and I don't think Jerry Lee Lewis

0:03:570:03:58

ever did Top Of The Pops. THEY LAUGH

0:03:580:04:00

No bonus points, then. Clareites, what would you like

0:04:000:04:03

as a question?

0:04:030:04:04

-Let's try the Horned Viper, please.

-OK, the snake.

0:04:040:04:07

What is the connection between these clues?

0:04:070:04:09

Here's the first.

0:04:090:04:11

-Sadness.

-Blue.

-So...

0:04:110:04:13

Is this in the film Inside Out? The character Sadness is blue.

0:04:130:04:16

-Yes, yes. Oh, I really like that.

-Could be.

0:04:160:04:18

I'm totally happy to go for that for five.

0:04:180:04:20

We could go for another.

0:04:200:04:21

-Shall we go for another?

-Go for another.

-Next, please.

0:04:210:04:23

-Yes, go for it.

-BUZZER

0:04:230:04:25

These are characters in the movie Inside Out,

0:04:250:04:27

and the colours that they are.

0:04:270:04:29

You could have had five points.

0:04:290:04:30

These are characters from Inside Out.

0:04:300:04:33

Anger and Disgust.

0:04:330:04:35

The little colourful creatures

0:04:350:04:36

that represent those emotions.

0:04:360:04:39

Well done.

0:04:390:04:40

Fire-Eaters, it's back to you for a choice.

0:04:400:04:42

We'll have the Lion, please.

0:04:420:04:44

The Lion. OK, what is the connection between these clues?

0:04:440:04:47

Here's the first.

0:04:470:04:49

Ian R. Well, it could be lots of people.

0:04:490:04:51

-Ian Rush, it could be.

-THEY WHISPER

0:04:510:04:53

I think it's maybe some sort of wordplay going on here,

0:04:530:04:56

but I can't see what it is, so shall we just get another one?

0:04:560:04:58

-Yeah.

-Next, please.

0:04:580:05:00

Cameron O.

0:05:000:05:02

The only person I can think of is David Cameron.

0:05:040:05:06

I don't think that's it.

0:05:060:05:07

Oh, I know. Add the letter to that name, it becomes a country.

0:05:090:05:12

-Yeah, you're quite right.

-Yeah.

-BUZZER

0:05:120:05:15

We think that if you take the letter that comes after the word

0:05:150:05:19

and you insert it somewhere into the word,

0:05:190:05:21

you get a country's name.

0:05:210:05:23

Very well spotted.

0:05:230:05:24

You also get three points

0:05:240:05:25

for coming in after two clues.

0:05:250:05:26

Iran, Cameroon, Cyprus, Peru.

0:05:260:05:30

We have taken out a letter,

0:05:300:05:32

moved it to one side

0:05:320:05:33

to disguise a country's name. Very well done.

0:05:330:05:36

Clareites, what would you like next?

0:05:360:05:37

Shall we try the Eye of Horus, please?

0:05:370:05:40

I can't advise, but you've said Eye of Horus.

0:05:400:05:42

That will be your question. What is the connection between these clues?

0:05:420:05:46

-Here's the first.

-Musician.

-Peter Baker. Do we know who that is?

0:05:460:05:49

-Did he change his name, possibly?

-Shall we get another one?

0:05:490:05:51

Next, please.

0:05:510:05:52

I've never heard of that person. Sorry.

0:05:540:05:56

I mean, she might not be a dancer. Next, please.

0:05:560:05:59

-Trainer Donald McCain.

-I mean, people who were

0:06:010:06:04

musicians or dancers...

0:06:040:06:06

-Are these names ringing any bells?

-No.

-Next, please.

0:06:060:06:09

-Oh, so, this is the former names...

-Donny?

0:06:100:06:12

-Geri Halliwell.

-Geri.

-They've shortened their names.

0:06:120:06:16

-To just...?

-Ginny McMath.

0:06:160:06:18

-Let's just go with that, yeah.

-BUZZER

0:06:180:06:20

These are all people who have that job

0:06:200:06:21

and they've shortened their names for their stage name.

0:06:210:06:24

So, it's Geri Halliwell.

0:06:240:06:26

-Do we have anyone else?

-Probably Ginny McMath, maybe. Donny.

0:06:260:06:28

-Ginny McMath?

-I can't

0:06:280:06:30

take that, I'm afraid.

0:06:300:06:31

There's a bonus chance for you,

0:06:310:06:32

-Fire-Eaters.

-We think they might all be known as Ginger.

0:06:320:06:35

They are Gingers.

0:06:350:06:37

You HAVE heard of that person.

0:06:370:06:38

Virginia McMath actually took

0:06:380:06:40

the surname of her mother's

0:06:400:06:42

second husband, Rogers.

0:06:420:06:43

Virginia Rogers, Ginger Rogers -

0:06:430:06:45

the dance partner of Fred Astaire.

0:06:450:06:47

Ginger Baker, of course, the great musician,

0:06:470:06:50

Ginger McCain, the horse trainer,

0:06:500:06:51

and Geri Halliwell, Ginger Spice.

0:06:510:06:54

All Gingers. So, well done.

0:06:540:06:56

You get the bonus point,

0:06:560:06:57

and which question would you like?

0:06:570:06:59

-We'll have the Two Reeds, please.

-The Two Reeds.

0:06:590:07:01

OK, these are going to be picture clues. What connects them?

0:07:010:07:03

Here's the first.

0:07:030:07:06

OK. So, it is the labyrinth, but it's...

0:07:060:07:09

THEY WHISPER

0:07:090:07:12

Next, please.

0:07:120:07:14

That's a canal with some barges on it.

0:07:140:07:16

Something about canal. Maze?

0:07:160:07:19

-Or maybe it's just a maze rather than a labyrinth.

-Maze.

0:07:190:07:22

-Barges. I don't know. Shall we get another one?

-Yeah.

0:07:220:07:25

Next, please.

0:07:250:07:27

-It's a hammer.

-That's parts of the ear.

0:07:270:07:29

Hammer. Hammer. What, canal? And the first one...?

0:07:290:07:32

-Yeah, the maze. Shall we go for that?

-Yeah.

0:07:320:07:34

BUZZER

0:07:340:07:36

We think they might be parts of the ear.

0:07:360:07:38

They are parts of the ear.

0:07:380:07:40

We're looking at labyrinth, canal, hammer.

0:07:400:07:42

You didn't need to see drum.

0:07:420:07:43

Parts of the ear. I heard you talking about

0:07:430:07:46

the difference between

0:07:460:07:47

a maze and a labyrinth.

0:07:470:07:48

-What is the difference?

-I don't know, I'm afraid.

0:07:480:07:50

I tell you who does know -

0:07:500:07:51

our question editor.

0:07:510:07:52

He told me about this

0:07:520:07:53

at great length over lunch.

0:07:530:07:55

He's given me a note,

0:07:550:07:56

which he scribbled down...

0:07:560:07:57

It's something to do with the number

0:07:570:07:59

of paths that go through it. A labyrinth only has one path.

0:07:590:08:01

Technically, a maze refers to a

0:08:010:08:03

complex branching multicursal puzzle

0:08:030:08:04

with choices of path and direction, while a unicursal labyrinth has

0:08:040:08:07

only a single path to the centre.

0:08:070:08:09

You know the really creepy thing?

0:08:090:08:11

He's written that on the back of one

0:08:110:08:12

of his own doodles of Joanna Lumley.

0:08:120:08:13

You don't want to know

0:08:130:08:15

what she's doing.

0:08:150:08:16

So, that is the difference between a maze and a labyrinth.

0:08:160:08:18

These all represent parts of the ear. Very well done.

0:08:180:08:21

Clareites, you'll be getting the Water question.

0:08:210:08:23

It's the only one left. What is the connection between these clues?

0:08:230:08:26

Here's the first.

0:08:260:08:27

Oh, so, it's going to have a name. Next?

0:08:290:08:32

-SHE MUMBLES

-Next, please.

0:08:320:08:35

-Oh, what's it called?

-National Gardens Scheme.

0:08:350:08:38

It's a prize, and the...

0:08:380:08:40

I've no idea. Next, please.

0:08:400:08:42

-Is it a certain colour?

-Could be.

0:08:450:08:48

-I've no idea.

-Shall we get another?

0:08:480:08:51

Next, please.

0:08:510:08:53

-BOTH:

-Yellow.

-Let's just go yellow something.

-Yeah, Yellow Pages.

0:08:530:08:56

-BUZZER

-They're all yellow.

0:08:560:08:58

They are all yellow books.

0:08:580:09:00

Yes, The Yellow Book was that famous, scandalous one that

0:09:000:09:03

Oscar Wilde was seen holding. Well,

0:09:030:09:05

he was holding A yellow book and

0:09:050:09:06

they said it was THE Yellow Book.

0:09:060:09:08

Very scandalous. All yellow books. Well done.

0:09:080:09:11

At the end of Round One...

0:09:110:09:13

Onto Round Two, the sequences round.

0:09:180:09:20

Fire-Eaters, you'll be going first again,

0:09:200:09:22

so please choose a hieroglyph.

0:09:220:09:24

-We'll have the Water, please.

-The Water.

0:09:240:09:26

These are going to be picture clues.

0:09:260:09:28

What sort of thing would you expect

0:09:280:09:29

to see in the fourth picture?

0:09:290:09:30

-Here's the first.

-Who is that? I've no idea.

0:09:300:09:33

-I'm really bad at recognising people.

-Is it Jennifer Lawrence?

0:09:330:09:35

I don't think it's her, but I'm not sure.

0:09:350:09:37

Shall we go onto the next one?

0:09:370:09:39

Next, please.

0:09:390:09:41

That's a minim. That's a minim, so it's a palindrome, possibly.

0:09:410:09:44

-Well, it could be.

-Yeah.

0:09:440:09:46

Could the first person possibly have a palindrome in their name?

0:09:460:09:49

-Next, please.

-Daryl Hannah.

0:09:490:09:51

Cos it's ABBA. Yeah, so that would work.

0:09:510:09:54

So, what's in fourth?

0:09:540:09:56

-A three-letter palindrome.

-Yeah.

0:09:560:09:59

-Let's say, like...

-Dad.

-Dad.

-BUZZER

0:09:590:10:03

A picture of a father.

0:10:030:10:05

And why would that be?

0:10:050:10:07

Cos they're palindromic, and we think that the...

0:10:070:10:09

I don't know who the first person is,

0:10:090:10:10

but we think it's a six-letter palindrome.

0:10:100:10:12

Then it's a minim, which is a five-letter palindrome,

0:10:120:10:14

and then ABBA, which is a four-letter palindrome,

0:10:140:10:16

and a dad would be a three-letter palindrome.

0:10:160:10:19

Dad would be an acceptable answer.

0:10:190:10:22

Very well done. We've actually gone

0:10:220:10:23

with Mem, the 13th letter

0:10:230:10:25

of the Hebrew alphabet.

0:10:250:10:26

More in fitting with this programme, I think, yeah.

0:10:260:10:28

Do you want to guess the first one?

0:10:280:10:30

-We think it might be Daryl Hannah.

-It is Daryl Hannah.

0:10:300:10:32

So, Hannah, the six-letter palindrome in her surname,

0:10:320:10:35

reads the same forwards and backwards,

0:10:350:10:36

and we're going down in the number of letters.

0:10:360:10:38

A three-letter palindrome is what we wanted to hear. Well done.

0:10:380:10:42

-Clareites, what would you like?

-Shall we try the Lion, please?

0:10:420:10:45

The Lion. OK, what will come fourth in this sequence?

0:10:450:10:47

Here's the first.

0:10:470:10:49

-2012 - Wolves.

-Dancing With...?

0:10:490:10:51

Oh, it could be football clubs that

0:10:510:10:53

got promoted or relegated in certain seasons.

0:10:530:10:56

Could be. Could be. Next, please.

0:10:560:10:58

-Are these other...?

-It could be American things.

0:10:590:11:04

Can we just get another?

0:11:040:11:06

Next, please.

0:11:060:11:07

For all the help it will do us.

0:11:070:11:09

I mean, after seeing Warriors,

0:11:090:11:10

I would say it's animals, but it's not.

0:11:100:11:12

-There's no team in American football called Rhinos.

-2015 - Foxes?

0:11:120:11:16

Yeah.

0:11:160:11:17

-Is there any...?

-Oh! The nicknames of teams that won,

0:11:170:11:21

-like, the Champions League or something.

-Yeah, the rugby.

0:11:210:11:23

-Yeah, rugby. OK, just...

-Three seconds.

0:11:230:11:26

BUZZER

0:11:260:11:29

-Tigers - 2015.

-2015 - Tigers.

0:11:290:11:31

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:11:310:11:32

So, Fire-Eaters,

0:11:320:11:33

the chance of a bonus point.

0:11:330:11:35

-We're going to guess 2015 - Rhinos.

-And why would you guess that?

0:11:350:11:40

-We think they are all rugby teams that have won...

-Rugby league.

0:11:400:11:44

Rugby league teams,

0:11:440:11:45

and we think maybe that the Rhinos won it in 2014, and also 2015.

0:11:450:11:49

They are the winners of the Challenge Cup in rugby league,

0:11:490:11:52

and the mighty Rhinos did it again.

0:11:520:11:54

Leeds Rhinos, of course,

0:11:540:11:55

2014 and 2015.

0:11:550:11:57

You'll remember the scores, Tony.

0:11:570:11:58

The Leeds Rhinos

0:11:580:11:59

and the Castleford Tigers in 2014.

0:11:590:12:01

-Oh, probably 30-24.

-Well, it was 23-10.

0:12:010:12:04

That's why you were thinking Tigers,

0:12:040:12:05

of course. The Castleford Tigers were in that final.

0:12:050:12:08

And in 2015, Leeds Rhinos and

0:12:080:12:10

-the Hull Kingston Rovers.

-45-2.

-It was...

0:12:100:12:13

I mean, that's really good.

0:12:130:12:14

It was 50-nil.

0:12:140:12:16

You remembered that the Rhinos really dominated

0:12:160:12:18

the match. That's a different

0:12:180:12:19

Hull team, of course, than...

0:12:190:12:21

The Wigan Warriors,

0:12:210:12:22

they beat Hull 60-nil. It was a different Hull.

0:12:220:12:25

-Ah.

-Bad luck both times

0:12:250:12:26

for the Hull teams.

0:12:260:12:28

I could talk about rugby league

0:12:280:12:30

all night, but we have to move on.

0:12:300:12:32

So, well done, Fire-Eaters, for the bonus point.

0:12:320:12:34

And your own question?

0:12:340:12:35

-We'll have the Two Reeds, I think.

-Two Reeds.

0:12:350:12:38

What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:12:380:12:39

Here's the first.

0:12:390:12:41

OK...

0:12:410:12:43

-lots of things, actually, so shall we just get one more?

-Yeah.

0:12:430:12:45

No idea. Next, please.

0:12:450:12:47

He had four spells as prime minister.

0:12:490:12:51

Yeah, so, Margaret Thatcher had one.

0:12:510:12:54

-Gladstone had four.

-Gladstone, yeah.

-Shall we?

-Yeah.

0:12:540:12:56

-Do you want to go for that?

-Yeah.

-The number of times that they...

0:12:560:12:59

-Yeah.

-BUZZER

0:12:590:13:03

We're going to go for William Gladstone,

0:13:030:13:05

-and then, in brackets, or parentheses, four.

-Good quizzing.

0:13:050:13:08

It is, of course, William Gladstone, brackets four,

0:13:080:13:11

as all good quizzers know. What's going on here?

0:13:110:13:14

They are prime ministers of the United Kingdom,

0:13:140:13:16

and in brackets it has how many times they had

0:13:160:13:19

-different sort of spells of being

-prime minister. That's it.

0:13:190:13:21

It's periods in office, isn't it?

0:13:210:13:23

-Yeah.

-Not terms because Margaret Thatcher...

0:13:230:13:25

Continuous terms.

0:13:250:13:26

Harold Wilson won three elections,

0:13:260:13:29

but it was two terms.

0:13:290:13:31

Stanley Baldwin - three.

0:13:310:13:32

And only one person has served four separate periods in office.

0:13:320:13:35

William Gladstone, four.

0:13:350:13:37

Clareites, what would you like?

0:13:370:13:38

-Let's try the Twisted Flax, please.

-The Twisted Flax.

0:13:380:13:41

What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:13:410:13:42

Here's the first.

0:13:420:13:44

Guinea-Bissau.

0:13:450:13:46

-It could be working along the coastline.

-It could be.

0:13:460:13:48

I know the countries in that area, if we get another one.

0:13:480:13:50

Let's just get another one. Next, please.

0:13:500:13:53

OK, Guinea-Bissau borders Guinea.

0:13:530:13:55

And then Guinea borders lots of places - Mauritania, Mali.

0:13:550:13:58

If we're going along the coast, where is it?

0:13:580:14:01

-So, then you'd have Sierra Leone and Liberia.

-Shall we try that?

0:14:010:14:04

I have nothing better.

0:14:040:14:05

-Yeah, sure.

-I like that. It's definitely going that direction?

0:14:050:14:08

-You said Liberia?

-I think it's Liberia.

0:14:080:14:09

-BUZZER

-Liberia.

0:14:090:14:12

Good West African coastal knowledge.

0:14:120:14:14

It is Liberia.

0:14:140:14:15

We're going down the coast of West Africa,

0:14:150:14:17

north to south, of course.

0:14:170:14:19

And after Guinea, as you say,

0:14:190:14:20

Sierra Leone and then Liberia.

0:14:200:14:22

Very well done.

0:14:220:14:23

Why are you so familiar with that part of the world?

0:14:230:14:25

I went on holiday recently and my computer broke,

0:14:250:14:27

and the only page I could load was about West African geography,

0:14:270:14:30

so I learnt a lot about West African geography in that week.

0:14:300:14:32

That's incredibly convenient,

0:14:320:14:34

isn't it, for this question?

0:14:340:14:36

That's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

0:14:360:14:38

Back to you, Fire-Eaters. What would you like?

0:14:380:14:40

-We'll have the Eye of Horus, please.

-The Eye of Horus.

0:14:400:14:42

OK, what will come fourth in this sequence?

0:14:420:14:44

Here's the first.

0:14:440:14:46

Lord Redesdale.

0:14:460:14:47

-I don't know who that is. Do you know who that is?

-No idea.

-No?

0:14:470:14:50

Next, please.

0:14:500:14:52

Mr Bennet. OK, this is Mr Bennet in Pride And Prejudice.

0:14:520:14:54

He's the father of Elizabeth. Are these people who have

0:14:540:14:57

lots of daughters or are they all characters in Austen novels

0:14:570:15:00

or something like that? Patriarchs?

0:15:000:15:03

We'll go back. Next, please.

0:15:030:15:05

Tsar Nicholas II. OK, he was the last Russian tsar.

0:15:050:15:08

-A certain number of daughters, maybe.

-Oh, yeah. Did...?

0:15:080:15:10

-One, two, three, four.

-Yeah. Well, there's five in Pride And Prejudice.

0:15:100:15:15

Are we sure they had five daughters?

0:15:150:15:16

-Well, you said they had five daughters.

-Hang on.

0:15:160:15:19

We need someone with three

0:15:190:15:20

cos it's going six, five, four, three.

0:15:200:15:22

Three seconds. BUZZER

0:15:220:15:24

Who's got three daughters?

0:15:240:15:26

-I need an answer.

-Your friend, does he?

-Yeah.

0:15:280:15:30

Andy's going to say someone.

0:15:300:15:32

I've got a friend called Ally Carr. He's got three daughters.

0:15:320:15:34

I'll accept that answer

0:15:340:15:36

because you have an honest face,

0:15:360:15:38

but I would like Ally Carr brought to me after the programme,

0:15:380:15:41

the daughters introduced one by one.

0:15:410:15:42

I want to look through

0:15:420:15:43

his wallet for photos.

0:15:430:15:44

If there are four girls in that picture,

0:15:440:15:46

the point will be removed.

0:15:460:15:47

We did want to hear someone with three daughters.

0:15:470:15:49

We went with King Lear.

0:15:490:15:51

-Of course.

-King Lear - Goneril, Regan and Cordelia.

0:15:510:15:53

Who were the people

0:15:530:15:54

that we're looking at?

0:15:540:15:55

I don't know the first one. Do my team-mates? I don't know.

0:15:550:15:58

The second is from Pride And Prejudice

0:15:580:16:00

with five daughters.

0:16:000:16:01

-Tsar Nicholas II had four daughters.

-A grisly tale.

0:16:010:16:04

And then King Lear had three daughters.

0:16:040:16:06

Lord Redesdale - do you know

0:16:060:16:07

who his daughters were?

0:16:070:16:09

-No.

-It's the Mitford sisters.

0:16:090:16:11

-Oh, OK.

-The six Mitford girls.

0:16:110:16:12

The daughters of Lord and Lady Redesdale.

0:16:120:16:14

-I should have known that.

-Someone with three daughters,

0:16:140:16:16

for example, King Lear, or, as most

0:16:160:16:18

people at home would have shouted,

0:16:180:16:19

your friend Ally Carr.

0:16:190:16:20

That is the right answer. THEY LAUGH

0:16:200:16:23

Clareites, the Horned Viper

0:16:230:16:25

is waiting there in the nest for you.

0:16:250:16:26

What would be the fourth in this sequence?

0:16:260:16:28

Here's the first.

0:16:280:16:30

-Something...

-It's 24 hours, but it still means nothing.

0:16:320:16:36

Next, please.

0:16:360:16:37

-These are not watches.

-Let's see. I think they are...

0:16:380:16:42

It'll be another day, but...

0:16:450:16:48

-We're going to have to go next, aren't we?

-Yeah.

-Next, please.

0:16:480:16:50

2pm till three?

0:16:520:16:54

THEY WHISPER

0:16:540:16:59

I don't know. Coming back to the 24-hour clock,

0:16:590:17:01

-does it give us anything?

-19...

0:17:010:17:04

THEY WHISPER

0:17:040:17:06

Three seconds. BUZZER

0:17:060:17:09

One - 2pm to 2pm.

0:17:090:17:12

Not the answer, I'm afraid, so a bonus chance

0:17:120:17:14

again for you, Fire-Eaters.

0:17:140:17:15

We'll say one - 12 noon to 12 noon.

0:17:150:17:20

You're very unlucky.

0:17:200:17:21

-Ah.

-It's one - 12am to 12am.

0:17:210:17:24

-It's midnight to midnight.

-OK.

0:17:240:17:26

You should have gone with 12-12, midnight to midnight.

0:17:260:17:28

Now, nobody recognises

0:17:280:17:29

these periods of time?

0:17:290:17:30

-I...

-No.

0:17:300:17:32

It is successive series

0:17:320:17:34

of the TV show 24.

0:17:340:17:36

-Oh, I never watched it.

-You know Jack Bauer?

0:17:360:17:38

It's sort of 24 hours.

0:17:380:17:39

The first series,

0:17:390:17:40

where it's midnight to midnight,

0:17:400:17:41

he's trying to stop the

0:17:410:17:43

assassination of presidential

0:17:430:17:44

candidate David Palmer.

0:17:440:17:46

So, we're going backwards

0:17:460:17:47

from series four back to the first one.

0:17:470:17:49

Series of 24.

0:17:490:17:50

12 to 12, yes, but not noon.

0:17:500:17:53

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

0:17:530:17:55

Connecting all the time now, and, Clareites, you'll be going first.

0:18:010:18:04

That's of your own volition. You chose the order.

0:18:040:18:07

So, please choose Lion or Water.

0:18:070:18:09

-Let's go for Lion this time, please.

-Lion.

0:18:090:18:11

OK, you've got two and a half minutes

0:18:110:18:13

to solve this wall, starting now.

0:18:130:18:16

-These are musical terms.

-Yeah.

0:18:170:18:19

-And...

-SHE HUMS

0:18:190:18:22

So, the Firth of Forth

0:18:220:18:23

and a fjord...

0:18:230:18:25

-So, a fjord is a water sort of feature.

-A bight.

0:18:250:18:28

-Are these all kind of watery things?

-Yeah.

0:18:280:18:30

Lashing looks like a...

0:18:320:18:34

-Coal miner.

-I think it's a type of quantity of something.

0:18:340:18:38

-Splice.

-The lashing is a kind of water?

0:18:380:18:42

Who the hell is Albert Ross?

0:18:420:18:44

Can you see anything for miner?

0:18:510:18:53

What about other groups?

0:18:560:18:58

-Could be Colin Firth. People called Colin, maybe.

-Yeah.

0:18:580:19:01

Lashing...

0:19:070:19:08

Flashing, splashing.

0:19:080:19:11

THEY WHISPER

0:19:110:19:15

These are definitely terms

0:19:150:19:17

-on a music...?

-Yeah.

0:19:170:19:19

Albert Ross -

0:19:190:19:20

that can't be a person, can it?

0:19:200:19:23

Don't know if Rennes is a...

0:19:230:19:26

-Petrol.

-Petrol station.

0:19:260:19:28

Petrol station, petrol tanker,

0:19:280:19:31

petrol...

0:19:310:19:32

Shipping forecast areas,

0:19:320:19:35

like German Bight,

0:19:350:19:36

Firth of something,

0:19:360:19:37

sound and Albert Ross, maybe?

0:19:370:19:41

-Yeah, that looks like it.

-Rennes.

0:19:410:19:43

Standing end, turn...

0:19:490:19:51

You can splice things together.

0:19:530:19:56

-I feel like these are technical terms in a field.

-Yeah.

0:19:560:19:59

Don't know what, though.

0:19:590:20:01

What do we think the first one...?

0:20:020:20:04

-A miner can be also, like, a child.

-30 seconds.

-Petrol.

0:20:040:20:08

-Petroleum.

-Things that sound...

0:20:080:20:11

Firth.

0:20:110:20:12

-Homonyms.

-The Firth of Forth.

0:20:120:20:15

-Ten seconds.

-Splice.

0:20:150:20:17

-Bight.

-Sound bite.

-Try firth.

0:20:170:20:19

Sound bite. Sound, sound, sound...

0:20:190:20:22

-Ria.

-And that's it. The time's up

0:20:230:20:26

and the wall has frozen.

0:20:260:20:27

Defeated by that horrible wall,

0:20:270:20:29

but you can still get points for the connections,

0:20:290:20:32

so let's resolve the wall.

0:20:320:20:34

There you go. That's how it should have looked,

0:20:340:20:36

and there's your first blue group starting Schleifer.

0:20:360:20:38

So, these are all musical terms.

0:20:380:20:40

They are terms for musical ornamentation.

0:20:400:20:43

Various bits of twiddling.

0:20:430:20:45

And the green group, what can you tell me about that?

0:20:450:20:47

-Types of knot.

-Types of knot.

0:20:470:20:49

Yes, they are. They are in knotting.

0:20:490:20:51

Splice, lashing, standing end, bight -

0:20:510:20:53

they are knotting terms. Well done.

0:20:530:20:56

-And the pink or purple group, starting ria?

-Water?

0:20:560:20:59

Is it sort of watery areas, like bays and things?

0:20:590:21:02

-Geographical water features.

-Geographical watery features.

0:21:020:21:04

Well, they are. Inlets would be, I think, the technical term,

0:21:040:21:08

but watery things, I'll take.

0:21:080:21:10

And the final turquoise group, what's that?

0:21:100:21:12

Could it be things to do with coal?

0:21:120:21:13

-I don't know if they have coal mines in Rennes.

-Yeah.

0:21:130:21:16

-Cos petrol comes from coal. I really don't know.

-Go for it.

0:21:160:21:18

Hydrocarbon-type things.

0:21:180:21:21

Now, what I think is unfortunate

0:21:210:21:23

is that not only did you talk about homophones,

0:21:230:21:25

you particularly said that miner sounds like a child.

0:21:250:21:27

-Also, it sounds like a bird, of course.

-Ah.

0:21:270:21:29

-Albatross, petrel, wren, mynah.

-Albatross.

0:21:290:21:34

They are homonyms for birds.

0:21:340:21:37

-Oh!

-Yeah, no, I wasn't going to see that.

0:21:370:21:38

However, you didn't find any of the groups,

0:21:380:21:40

but you did manage to tell me three of the connections,

0:21:400:21:42

so that's a total of three points.

0:21:420:21:44

Let's bring in the Fire-Eaters now, give them the other Connecting Wall,

0:21:440:21:47

the Water wall, see if that puts the fire out

0:21:470:21:49

or whether you score highly.

0:21:490:21:51

You will have two and a half minutes to solve it, of course.

0:21:510:21:53

That time starts now.

0:21:530:21:56

OK, I think there might be some...

0:21:560:22:00

No, The Canterbury Tales.

0:22:000:22:02

These are all in The Canterbury Tales.

0:22:020:22:04

The Second Nun is, I think, one.

0:22:040:22:06

I'm just going to cycle through these quickly.

0:22:060:22:08

I think I already did that one. Never mind.

0:22:130:22:15

-OK, so, it must be something else.

-Lewis, Holmes - they are detectives.

0:22:150:22:21

It's not something to do with...? No, I'm thinking of something else.

0:22:210:22:24

-These are mystery writers, aren't they? Child, Cain - James Cain.

-Mm.

0:22:270:22:31

Henry Cavill.

0:22:310:22:32

-Shall we try that and then...?

-Ayn Rand was a writer.

0:22:320:22:35

Yeah, but not really mystery. Miller, maybe.

0:22:350:22:38

OK, I'm pretty sure there's got to be something in here

0:22:380:22:41

with The Canterbury Tales, unless it's a complete red herring.

0:22:410:22:43

There's going to be a word thing here somewhere, so... Liv?

0:22:430:22:46

That's kind of an animal noise.

0:22:480:22:50

-Neigh. So, neigh...

-But there's nothing else.

-Hmm.

0:22:500:22:55

-Cain...

-Dean Cain played Superman, as well, didn't he?

0:22:590:23:03

-Reeve, Cain, Cavill all played Superman.

-OK, anyone else?

0:23:030:23:07

No.

0:23:070:23:08

Shall we try Knight? No?

0:23:090:23:13

-Who's another? So, just going through all the names.

-Lewis.

-Sure.

0:23:130:23:16

So...

0:23:160:23:17

What could false be? What's manciple?

0:23:180:23:20

It looks like mandible, but it's not.

0:23:200:23:22

Is that something to do with Roman armies or am I getting confused?

0:23:220:23:26

OK, great, we've got something.

0:23:260:23:28

So, what have we got rid of? We've got rid of Reeve.

0:23:280:23:30

I'm just going to double-check this one again cos I...

0:23:300:23:33

-Is there a child in it?

-I don't think so, is there?

0:23:330:23:36

Sure, OK, we'll try. We'll try that, then.

0:23:360:23:39

Then a knight.

0:23:390:23:40

-No, I don't think there is.

-American authors - Miller, Rand, Child.

0:23:430:23:45

Lewis? Is it Lewis?

0:23:450:23:47

Lewis. OK, Lewis.

0:23:470:23:48

What, you think neighbour? Neighbour - is that...?

0:23:480:23:51

-Lewis is an investigating detective, isn't he?

-Yeah, Holmes.

-Holmes.

0:23:510:23:54

-They can't all be red herrings, can they?

-Miller, Child? No.

0:23:540:23:58

Ten seconds.

0:24:020:24:04

Let's try something else.

0:24:040:24:05

That's it. Your time's up,

0:24:130:24:14

and the wall has frozen, but you found a group,

0:24:140:24:16

and can you tell me the connection starting Reeve?

0:24:160:24:19

-They're all actors who have played Superman.

-They are all Supermen.

0:24:190:24:23

The great Christopher Reeve, and we've also got there Dean Cain,

0:24:230:24:26

Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill. All Supermen.

0:24:260:24:29

And you can still get points for the connections

0:24:290:24:31

in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.

0:24:310:24:34

There you go. Holmes, Child, Lewis, Rand.

0:24:340:24:37

-Crime writers?

-No, not crime writers. They're...

0:24:370:24:39

-They're detectives.

-Detectives, aren't they?

-OK, so,

0:24:390:24:42

we think they're all detectives.

0:24:420:24:43

I'm afraid they're not. They are British female athletes.

0:24:430:24:47

Oh, of course they are.

0:24:470:24:48

Kelly Holmes, Denise Lewis, Eilidh Child, Mary Rand.

0:24:480:24:52

-Yeah, I've heard of most of them.

-No Sally Gunnell, of course.

0:24:520:24:54

Nobody that you've chatted to in an airport.

0:24:540:24:56

That would be the problem.

0:24:560:24:57

And what about the pink group starting false?

0:24:570:25:00

Do we have any idea?

0:25:000:25:01

-Neighbour, knight?

-No?

-I don't think we know that one.

0:25:010:25:05

I can tell you, you put "hood" after them. Falsehood.

0:25:050:25:08

That's liveli - livelihood. Neighbourhood. Knighthood.

0:25:080:25:11

That's the word one.

0:25:110:25:14

And the last turquoise group starting manciple?

0:25:140:25:16

These are all people who tell tales in The Canterbury Tales.

0:25:160:25:19

These are The Canterbury Tales, yes.

0:25:190:25:20

You don't remember the poor old manciple?

0:25:200:25:22

He's a sort of purchasing agent for a law court.

0:25:220:25:24

-Tells a story about a crow.

-Yeah.

-The crow story.

0:25:240:25:26

But you did find one group,

0:25:260:25:28

and you've been able to tell me two connections.

0:25:280:25:30

-That is a total of three.

-OK.

-Let's have a look at the scores.

0:25:300:25:33

0:27:260:27:30

None of you knows The Admirable Crichton?

0:27:300:27:33

-Oh, I've heard of it.

-That was that Barrie play.

0:27:330:27:35

But the bell has gone for the end of the quiz,

0:27:350:27:37

and I can tell you that the winners,

0:27:370:27:39

and going through to the next round with 20 points,

0:27:390:27:41

are the Fire-Eaters. Very well done to you.

0:27:410:27:44

And after a great Round Four, getting very close with 17 points,

0:27:440:27:47

it's the Clareites. Very close.

0:27:470:27:50

Good recovery, but, sadly, not quite enough.

0:27:500:27:52

We have to say goodbye, sorry. Thank you so much for playing.

0:27:520:27:56

-And, Fire-Eaters, well done to you.

-Thank you.

-We'll see you again.

0:27:560:27:59

Thanks for watching.

0:27:590:28:01

Now, earlier in the series, I said that,

0:28:010:28:03

in a stand against sexism,

0:28:030:28:05

I would not engage in online conversation

0:28:050:28:07

about what I wear on the show. Next week's an exception.

0:28:070:28:10

I can exclusively reveal that I will be wearing the apparel

0:28:100:28:13

of the Sengoku samurai

0:28:130:28:15

to coincide with the launch of our new video game

0:28:150:28:18
