0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello, and welcome to Only Connect.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24Sorry we're a bit late starting.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Just as I was leaving my dressing room,

0:00:26 > 0:00:28I had a phone call from a lovely young man

0:00:28 > 0:00:30who said I might be in line for some compensation,

0:00:30 > 0:00:33and asking if I'd had an accident in the last couple of years.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Well, that led to a long conversation about

0:00:35 > 0:00:37whether getting pregnant counted.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Anyway, I'm here, now,

0:00:39 > 0:00:40so let's meet the teams.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42On my right,

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Mark Smith,

0:00:43 > 0:00:45an archivist and keen musician,

0:00:45 > 0:00:49who's written a song about two mutual stalkers for the ukulele.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51Nick Holland,

0:00:51 > 0:00:53a copywriter and tortoise fan,

0:00:53 > 0:00:55who wrote and performed a one-man play

0:00:55 > 0:00:57on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square,

0:00:57 > 0:01:00while wearing a papier-mache mask.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02And their captain, Nick Reed,

0:01:02 > 0:01:04a charity administrator and fundraiser,

0:01:04 > 0:01:06who's driven across America in a station wagon,

0:01:06 > 0:01:08which twice caught fire.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10United by a weakness for Wodehouse,

0:01:10 > 0:01:12they are the Psmiths.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Now, in your earlier rounds, you won two games.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17You described your team as the One Direction of Only Connect

0:01:17 > 0:01:19because you were put together by our producers.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20How's the team bonding?

0:01:20 > 0:01:21Well, you'll have seen

0:01:21 > 0:01:23the paparazzi pictures of us

0:01:23 > 0:01:25on private jets, frolicking in the sea, etc,

0:01:25 > 0:01:28and only tomorrow we're going to see a jazz-influenced folk singer.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Well, have a lovely time!

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Tonight, you'll be having a lovely time with, on my left,

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Howard Freedman, a taxi driver

0:01:36 > 0:01:39with an IT degree from the Open University,

0:01:39 > 0:01:40who doesn't own a television.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Adrian Knott, a civil servant,

0:01:43 > 0:01:46whose mother's second cousin is Jimmy Krankie.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49And their captain, Michael Slowey,

0:01:49 > 0:01:52a data analyst who got drunk at a Holiday Inn bar

0:01:52 > 0:01:54with Snoop Dogg's backing band.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56United by a fascination with films,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58they are the Oscar Men.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Now, you had a slightly bumpier journey.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02You lost your first heat against The Part-time Poets,

0:02:02 > 0:02:05then you beat The Monsters And The Genealogists

0:02:05 > 0:02:07as a higher scoring second-place finisher.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Has the Only Connect experience been everything you hoped for,

0:02:10 > 0:02:12or a terrible disappointment?

0:02:12 > 0:02:13It's been great,

0:02:13 > 0:02:15we've loved Cardiff, and we've met

0:02:15 > 0:02:17some very nice and interesting people along the way.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Not here?! In your gaps, I suppose?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Well, you won the toss, Psmiths,

0:02:22 > 0:02:24so you're going to be going first.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26What is the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:02:26 > 0:02:27That is what I want to know.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Please choose a hieroglyph.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34What connects these little clues?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Here's the first.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38- BEEP - Oh!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh, dear.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42You've pressed the bell.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43I'm afraid I must ask you for an answer.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45What connects these clues?

0:02:45 > 0:02:49They're all North American sporting associations.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's a good guess, but unfortunately not the answer.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54So, I'm going to show the other clues to the Oscar Men

0:02:54 > 0:02:55for a possible bonus point.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00We believe they all incorporate human beings on their logos.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Not it, I'm afraid, and for a bonus point,

0:03:03 > 0:03:06it really does need to be perfect. The logos all contain silhouettes.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Ah...

0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Do you know that, over there?- Yes!

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Talk me through the clues that you should have seen.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15The National Basketball Association has a silhouette

0:03:15 > 0:03:17of someone slam dunking.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Yes, what are the other ones?

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- DreamWorks is a child on a half moon, fishing.- That's right.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23And Kappa... Does Kappa have...

0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Two back-to-back? - Two people back-to-back.- Yeah.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29That's right. Swimwear models, relaxing after a photo shoot,

0:03:29 > 0:03:31a familiar scene to us all, I know.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33And what about Dr Oetker?

0:03:33 > 0:03:34- Nope.- Nope.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37They have a silhouette of the artist's daughter,

0:03:37 > 0:03:38it's just the bust of a child.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41So, no points, unfortunately, but I do like your gambling spirit.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oscar Men, what would you like?

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Eye Of Horus, please.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46The Eye Of Horus. OK.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48These are going to be picture clues.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Let's see if you too can come in after two and a half seconds.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52First one, coming up...

0:03:52 > 0:03:53now.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56OK, I'm not sure of the politician.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57- Erm...- Another one.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Next, please.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03OK, that's the Rev Richard Coles.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yeah, used to be in The Communards, Could be bands.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Could be bands. Shall we go for the next, please?

0:04:08 > 0:04:09- Yes.- Used to be in a band, didn't he?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11- BEEP - Yeah, we believe

0:04:11 > 0:04:12these people have all had

0:04:12 > 0:04:14a former life as a member of a band.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Again, I need to hear something specific.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21They were the keyboardists.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Yeah, so, the middle two, such famous musicians,

0:04:23 > 0:04:24so I need to hear keyboards,

0:04:24 > 0:04:27which is what all of these people formerly played in bands.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Well done.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Back to you, Psmiths,

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- for a choice. - Lion, please.- Lion.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34What is the connection between these Lion clues?

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Here's the first.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Oh...

0:04:41 > 0:04:43- It's sagas, I think.- Right.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44Next.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Oh...

0:04:47 > 0:04:49- He dislocated his jaw shouting at a defender.- Oh, wow!

0:04:49 > 0:04:51OK, that sounds good enough.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Unusual causes of injury? - Is it unusual...

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Yeah, shall we go for that?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Let's go for that. - Yes, let's go for it.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59BEEP

0:04:59 > 0:05:03We think these are unusual causes of injury among football players.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04That's absolutely right.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06You recognised Alex Stepney

0:05:06 > 0:05:10of Manchester United was just shouting so angrily at the defenders

0:05:10 > 0:05:13from the goal that he actually dislocated his jaw.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15David Batty, he missed a lot of matches.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16His Achilles tendon was injured

0:05:16 > 0:05:18by his own toddler riding a tricycle at him.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Steve Morrow, he was lifted in triumph by Tony Adams, and dropped.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26And the first one, do you know who this is, in the first clue?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- No.- Yeah, he's Norwegian.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33He was out running in the woods and just bumped into a moose,

0:05:33 > 0:05:35and caused him to miss an international game. Yes.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well done,

0:05:37 > 0:05:39all odd footballing injuries.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Oscar Men, what would you like next?

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Horned Viper, please.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43The Horned Viper, OK.

0:05:43 > 0:05:44What connects these clues?

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Here's the first.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48It's Not Unusual.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Tom Jones. - It's Tom Jones, isn't it?

0:05:51 > 0:05:55- '64.- That wasn't the Eurovision song contest, was it?- No.- OK.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Can we go for the next, please?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Mull of Kintyre, 19...

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Oh, right.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03I don't think...

0:06:03 > 0:06:04It's not the same one, though, is it?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Because he wrote that, didn't he?- He did.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Yeah, I thought he did as well.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's Not Unusual... Mull of...

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Can we go for the next one, please?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Martha's Harbour.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Is that a good one?- Let's go for it.

0:06:19 > 0:06:20Yeah? These are all films.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Well, well...- No.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23BEEP Yep?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26We believe they're names of films

0:06:26 > 0:06:28as well as famous songs,

0:06:28 > 0:06:29they came prior to the song.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30And I'm going to ask you

0:06:30 > 0:06:32to tell me something specific.

0:06:32 > 0:06:33Number one songs?

0:06:33 > 0:06:34That is not the thing

0:06:34 > 0:06:37that I want to hear so I have to show the last clue

0:06:37 > 0:06:40to the Psmiths for a possible bonus point.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43The title of the film may have been changed to accommodate the song.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44That's not it.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Now, where you're unlucky, Oscar Men,

0:06:46 > 0:06:48and I'm surprised, from you, you didn't get the specific thing.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53It's that the performers share their names with Best Picture winners.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56That's what the dates are, that's why we've got 1964 and so on,

0:06:56 > 0:06:58it's the performers have the same name as what won

0:06:58 > 0:07:00the Best Film Oscar that year.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Tom Jones.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Wings, that won the Best Picture in 1929,

0:07:04 > 0:07:07All About Eve in 1951 won the Best Picture Oscar,

0:07:07 > 0:07:09and If You Leave Me Now...

0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Nilsson?- Chicago?- Chicago.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Nilsson, not one of the great films.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Chicago, very well done.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18So, no points there.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Psmiths, what would you like?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Twisted Flax, please. - The Twisted Flax.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23What is the connection between these clues?

0:07:23 > 0:07:24Here's the first.

0:07:27 > 0:07:28OK.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29Next.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37- No, got no idea.- Next?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43That's... Three units? Oh...

0:07:43 > 0:07:44Is its...

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Are they divided into units?

0:07:46 > 0:07:47Are they divided into three?

0:07:47 > 0:07:48A game of three halves?

0:07:48 > 0:07:49- Oh.- Could be.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Should we have the other one?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52- I think we definitely should have the other one.- Next.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57- 1.5.- One and a half.- Oh, OK, but...

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Yeah, so...

0:07:59 > 0:08:01- An extra half, three halves? - BEEP

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Three halves.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Yeah, we think these are things

0:08:05 > 0:08:07which have three halves.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Three halves is the connection, very good.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Tell me about some of the clues you're looking at.

0:08:13 > 0:08:151.5 is obviously the three halves.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Speculating, without having the faintest sort of direct knowledge,

0:08:18 > 0:08:21the recommended daily beer intake for men might be three halves.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24It is. I mean, I'm assuming that's one and a half pints rather than,

0:08:24 > 0:08:27you know, a half for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29But perhaps you can have it however you want.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31What about the Eton school year?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Is it a quaint and curious anachronism

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- that they have three terms and they are all called halves?- That's right.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Because private schools used to have two terms,

0:08:40 > 0:08:41they were divided into two halves,

0:08:41 > 0:08:43and when it moved to three school terms,

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Eton thought it would keep the word halves for them

0:08:46 > 0:08:48because they like to have a bit of language that they understand

0:08:48 > 0:08:49that other people don't quite.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52And do you know anything about this football match?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Presumably by accident or design,

0:08:54 > 0:08:55it went on too long.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57It wasn't that it went on too long.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's that the referee missed his train,

0:08:59 > 0:09:02so they started the match without him,

0:09:02 > 0:09:04and then when he arrived at half-time,

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Derby were already three nil down,

0:09:06 > 0:09:08and he said well, would you like to start again?

0:09:08 > 0:09:09LAUGHTER

0:09:09 > 0:09:12And they, understandably, said yes, they would,

0:09:12 > 0:09:14so they started again and at the next half-time

0:09:14 > 0:09:15they were three nil down again,

0:09:15 > 0:09:18and they ended up losing the match eight nil.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20So there were three halves in that particular football match.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Well done. Back to you, Oscar men,

0:09:22 > 0:09:25for the last question. Water. BING

0:09:25 > 0:09:27There's the music question. It was waiting 'til the end.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29What connects these pieces of music?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Here's the first.

0:09:31 > 0:09:32FEMALE VOICE SINGS WITH PIANO

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- That's German.- I don't know it.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Next, please. - JAUNTY SOLO PIANO

0:09:41 > 0:09:43That's some sort of Ragtime music.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46When you put it that way, maybe...

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Next, please.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48MEDITERRANEAN STRINGS

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Matavani, I think that is.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yes, I think it's Matavani.

0:09:58 > 0:09:59- Yeah?- Yeah. Next, please.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00MALE VOICE SINGS MODERN BALLAD

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Right, Kiss From A Rose by Seal.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05- So...- Yeah, go on?

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Yeah, so we can put that.- Kisses? - Kiss From A Rose. Right.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Two seconds. BEEP

0:10:10 > 0:10:11- OK. Kiss from a Rose.- Yeah...

0:10:11 > 0:10:16We're going to go for they all contain...

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Kisses.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18That's a lovely guess!

0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'm afraid it's not the right answer, but it's very nice.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23So, Psmiths, you have the chance of a bonus point.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24We think they all contain roses.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26They all contain roses. Now if you only recognised

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Kiss From a Rose, unfortunately, you lost

0:10:28 > 0:10:30the 50-50. Roses is the link. Did you know any

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- of the other songs? - The first one was

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Heidenroslein by Schubert. - That's right.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Rose of the field or heath. - You thought...

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I thought Honeysuckle Rose could be the second one.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41That's right, absolutely.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44And the third one, The White Rose of Athens.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46All the titles contained roses.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50That means at the end of round one the Oscar Men have two points,

0:10:50 > 0:10:51the Psmiths have five.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Sequences round now,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58and Psmiths you'll be going first again. So please

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- choose a sequential hieroglyph. - Two Reeds, please.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Two Reeds. Well, well. It's a music sequence.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07OK, you're going to be hearing the clues.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09I want to know what kind of thing you'd expect to hear

0:11:09 > 0:11:12in fourth place. First one coming in now.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16# Sisters are doing it for themselves... #

0:11:16 > 0:11:17Next.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21# When the river was deep I didn't falter

0:11:21 > 0:11:26# When the mountain was high I still believed... #

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Next.

0:11:28 > 0:11:34# Don't let the sun go down on me

0:11:34 > 0:11:41# Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see... #

0:11:41 > 0:11:45So this is George and Elton, so we need Elton and someone else.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46BUZZER

0:11:46 > 0:11:50We think we're going to hear Don't Go Breaking My Heart

0:11:50 > 0:11:52by Elton John and Kiki Dee.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54That is absolutely right as one of a couple of

0:11:54 > 0:11:57possible answers. Why? What's the sequence?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Erm, we're sort of swapping partners.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02We started off with Eurhythmics and Aretha Franklin.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Then went with Aretha and George Michael.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Then George and Elton. Then Elton and someone else.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10That's exactly right, we're taking one person

0:12:10 > 0:12:12from each half of a duet and moving along.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13So we wanted to hear a duet

0:12:13 > 0:12:15with Elton John. Now, we actually don't have that

0:12:15 > 0:12:18to play. I'm trusting that you'll be able to

0:12:18 > 0:12:21help the viewers at home. OK, one, two, three...

0:12:21 > 0:12:25# Don't go breaking my heart

0:12:25 > 0:12:28# I couldn't if I tried

0:12:28 > 0:12:30# But honey if I... Dun... Dun...

0:12:30 > 0:12:33# Baby, I'm not that type. #

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Oh, that's lovely, lovely. That kind.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39But I quite like your half-rhyme, I actually think it's more

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- sophisticated and Yatesian. - It's what I was going for.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44A lovely chorus, thank you very much.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Oscar Men, what would you like?

0:12:46 > 0:12:47Twisted Flax, please.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50The Twisted Flax, OK. This one's a picture question.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Here's the first.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57It looks like a zero. It could be a symbol for something else.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Next, please.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Right, OK, these are stylised letters.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Next, please.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'm at a loss for this.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12Seems to be, they're not letters, they are outlines

0:13:12 > 0:13:13of something, aren't they?

0:13:13 > 0:13:16They're letters, with things missing, so I think that looks like

0:13:16 > 0:13:19- almost an outline... - Seems like a B with a bit missing.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Yeah, so... So let's see.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26Inside of the O, inside of the P, inside of the Q.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27So the inside of an R.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29BUZZER

0:13:29 > 0:13:30So, we're going to go for

0:13:30 > 0:13:33the converse inside of an R as the diagram.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36That's right. It would be the missing bit from

0:13:36 > 0:13:38inside an R, what would that look like?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40It would look like the second clue.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42That's right, it's pretty much identical to that second one,

0:13:42 > 0:13:44the inside of a P. Well done.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Psmiths, what would you like? - Water, please.- Water.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50What will come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Next.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Some sort of sporting tournament.

0:14:00 > 0:14:05We need another. Next. OK. OK.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Rugby has cups, plates and bowls.- Yes, true.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Calcutta Cup. They could be in the order that

0:14:16 > 0:14:22- they are played in the season. - Yes, the order of the event.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Calcutta Cup.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Two seconds.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31BUZZER

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Trophy is the... Trophy? - Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Oscar Men, do you want to have a go

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- for a bonus point? - We'll handover to Howard.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41At the moment I'd come up with trophy myself.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44Unlucky, Howard, you've been handed over to.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- What's the answer? - Masters, did you say?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Say masters.- Masters is not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53I think you muttered it over there,

0:14:53 > 0:14:56the answer is shield. What it's actually to do

0:14:56 > 0:14:59with is rugby sevens. Most rugby sevens have a

0:14:59 > 0:15:02particular series of cups, and you are

0:15:02 > 0:15:04competing for the cup if you're at the top.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06The two teams at the top, then the quarterfinal

0:15:06 > 0:15:09losers go for the plate, then the teams in third

0:15:09 > 0:15:11and fourth place compete for the bowl,

0:15:11 > 0:15:13so we're going downwards.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Rugby sevens descending order of prestige.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Shield is what would come next.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Oscar Men, what would you like? - Can we go for Lion, please?

0:15:20 > 0:15:21Yes, you absolutely may.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Here's the first.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27OK, it means nothing to me.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28Means nothing to me either.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Next, please.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35This could be something else.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Nicto, halco.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41- It's not a connection, it's a series.- OK, next please.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Ah, right.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48So it's...

0:15:48 > 0:15:51These are possibly parts of the periodic table.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54So probably not a halogen, as we've got...

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Noble gases maybe.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00BUZZER

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Can we go for noble gases, please?

0:16:02 > 0:16:05You can go for whatever you like, and in this

0:16:05 > 0:16:06case it's the right answer.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Noble gases would come next. And why?- They are all parts

0:16:09 > 0:16:11of the periodic table going from left to right,

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- we believe, is it? - It's not going from left to right,

0:16:14 > 0:16:17its numerical, so the pnictogens, I'm sure you'll appreciate,

0:16:17 > 0:16:20probably your favourite group, pnictogens,

0:16:20 > 0:16:22that's group 15. Then we're going group 16

0:16:22 > 0:16:25and 17, group 18 is the noble gases.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Back to you, Psmiths, for the last choice for the round.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Eye of Horus, please. - Eye of Horus.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32What will come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Next.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Oh, right, OK.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44The masculine plural.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Next.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54It is going to be first of five.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57In Spanish you have the masculine plural "los".

0:16:59 > 0:17:01O, los...

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Is it just A, do you think?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07It's got to be the first of five.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09That's a pronoun.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11BUZZER

0:17:11 > 0:17:15First of five significa "A".

0:17:15 > 0:17:17I'm afraid that is not the right answer,

0:17:17 > 0:17:20so, Oscar Men, you have the chance of a bonus point.

0:17:20 > 0:17:26We're going to go first of five and...

0:17:26 > 0:17:30- If it's Spanish it's "O", "los"...- I don't believe I

0:17:30 > 0:17:33invited you to have a chat. Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Although, I love the way you sort of have come up with the answer

0:17:35 > 0:17:38but you're not quite sure, you look at Howard each time.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Howard, you do seem like the kind of person one

0:17:39 > 0:17:41would just look to in a crisis.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- What was that noise...Howard? - I don't know why.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45No, that's not what it is.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Now, what there are five of is vowels.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51So, the fourth vowel of five would be "O",

0:17:51 > 0:17:54the letter O. Which Italian, means, or significa,

0:17:54 > 0:17:56as the Italians would say, "or".

0:17:56 > 0:17:59O translates as "or". Then, going backwards,

0:17:59 > 0:18:01the letter I, "I" in Italian. "The" - masculine plural.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05"I" something. Then the letter E, second of five,

0:18:05 > 0:18:08significa "and". "E" - "and" in Italian.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11And I want to hear first of five significa "to",

0:18:11 > 0:18:13is the most common one. It gets less fun, doesn't it,

0:18:13 > 0:18:15somehow, as the show goes on?

0:18:15 > 0:18:18You start to look up train times and wonder if you really want to stay.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21So no bonus, Oscar Men, but you get the last question,

0:18:21 > 0:18:24the Horned Viper. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:18:24 > 0:18:25Here's the first.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31Sounds like some queen or consort or something like that.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32OK, next please.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Queens?- I'm sure there's somebody called Caroline Ansbach.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41- You ready for the next? - Yeah.- Next, please.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47OK, these could be consorts of South African...

0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Are they King Georges'? - Could be, yeah.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Because one of them was married to...

0:18:52 > 0:18:55OK, so what would you, where would you be going in that area, then?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57I think, I think it's either another Caroline

0:18:57 > 0:19:00or another Charlotte. But I don't know which one.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Two seconds.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05BUZZER

0:19:05 > 0:19:08OK, we're going to go with another Caroline...

0:19:08 > 0:19:10- of, we're not sure.- Howard.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Caroline of Medici.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Brunswick.- Not it, I'm afraid.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Caroline of Medici is not the right answer.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Psmiths, do you know? - Is it Caroline of Brunswick?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22It is Caroline of Brunswick.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Unfortunately, Caroline of Medici you beat him to the answer.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Caroline of Brunswick is it. Why?

0:19:27 > 0:19:32These are the spouses of the four Georges in order.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35That's right, the wives of George I, II and III.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37I want to hear the wife of George IV.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Caroline of Brunswick. That means at the end of round two

0:19:41 > 0:19:44the Oscar Men have six points, the Psmiths have eight.

0:19:47 > 0:19:48Time for the Connecting Wall now,

0:19:48 > 0:19:50and Oscar Men you'll be going first this time,

0:19:50 > 0:19:53so please choose Lion or Water.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54We'll go with Lion.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58OK. Two and a half minutes to solve the Lion wall starting now.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03OK. Wilson. That's a tennis racket, type of one.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Sahzia Mirza, that's a female comedian.- Head is a tennis racket.

0:20:07 > 0:20:14Head, Wilson. We've got Dunlop... Let's go for Point.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Nope.- Is Mirza?- It's worth a shot, we'll try it if you want.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23So, shall we go with Wilson, Dunlop, Head, Cape?

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Wilson, Dunlop, Head... Ras.

0:20:27 > 0:20:33Infante, Prince, Ras...

0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Head?- Mirza?

0:20:36 > 0:20:41Brilliant. Fantastic. So have we got anything that goes with Babolat?

0:20:41 > 0:20:46- Doesn't mean anything to me. - Loch Ness... Head...

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Do you want to go for Head again?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Head, Wilson...

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Dunlop and Ness.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Let's just try...

0:20:56 > 0:21:01Ness and Cape and Head are types of...

0:21:01 > 0:21:04What else would they be?

0:21:04 > 0:21:10A Babolat, perhaps? Ness, Cape, Point. Miss out Point.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14Ness, Cape and...Head?

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Miss out Ness.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Miss out Cape.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28Babolat, Wilson, Head and... Brilliant.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Three lives now.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35- Right, OK, so we've got... - Ness, Point, Cape.- Number and Sin.

0:21:35 > 0:21:3720 seconds.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Cape, Point.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43Let's go for Bill and Sin.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Number, Point, Cape, Bill.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Flower, Number.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Five seconds.

0:21:51 > 0:21:52KLAXON

0:21:52 > 0:21:55No, that's your third life. The Wall has frozen.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57But you get points for the groups you found

0:21:57 > 0:22:01and what about the connections? Ras, Prince, Mirza, Infante?

0:22:01 > 0:22:05They're all designations for royaly, perhaps.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08They're all junior royalty around the world. Different languages.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12That's right. And the green group. Wilson, Dunlop and the rest?

0:22:12 > 0:22:14They're all tennis racket producers.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17They are the tennis racquet manufacturers and you can

0:22:17 > 0:22:19still get points for the connections in the groups you didn't find

0:22:19 > 0:22:21so let's resolve the wall.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23There we go. Bill, Ness, Point, Cape.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26We believe they're all geographical.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29So, you have for example, Loch Ness, Portland Bill...

0:22:29 > 0:22:33Yes, again I'm going to have to ask you to tell me something specific.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36They're all located on the sea?

0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Or by water? Water features, if you will.- It's just not enough!

0:22:40 > 0:22:43At this stage, playing for a place in the quarterfinals,

0:22:43 > 0:22:45- I need to hear, "They are promontories."- Ah, OK.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Specifically, that is the shape they make going out into the sea.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53Promontories. And the last group. Flower, Number, Sin, Beetle.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I don't know. Any of you guys?- Erm...

0:22:56 > 0:22:59They could all be preceded by Cardinal.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01But two points for the groups you found and two points

0:23:01 > 0:23:04for the connections. That's a total of four.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Let's bring in their opponents now,

0:23:06 > 0:23:09give them a new Connecting Wall, see what they can do with it.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Welcome back Psmiths. You'll be getting the Water wall.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15You have two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22Cheviot, Malvern, Chiltern, Quantock.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25OK, what about Preseli?

0:23:25 > 0:23:30- Preseli, OK.- So miss out Quantock.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Miss out...

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Maybe try something else.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42Ile de France, Martinique, Reunion.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44- These aren't bits of France, are they?- No.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Windermere and Bracknell are both Oscar Wilde.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Is there a lady Hunstanton in something?- Yeah, I think so.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56- And Lady...- Malvern?- Corriedale?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01OK...

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Are we going back to France or...

0:24:16 > 0:24:18OK, erm, that could be...

0:24:19 > 0:24:22- OK.- Do you want to keep trying hills?- Hills, right, OK.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Are these all right? Are these all hills?- Yeah.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29I'm not brilliant on hills. What's Corriedale?

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Corriedale's a lake as is Windermere, as is Preseli, maybe.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35I don't know.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Try cows or sheep or something.

0:24:47 > 0:24:4830 seconds.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Let's go back to Oscar Wilde after this one, just for the last one.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58OK, so Windermere, Bracknell.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Ten seconds.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11No. You're out of time and the wall has frozen.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14What a horrible wall! My goodness!

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Like the old Berlin wall, only worse.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Nevertheless, you can still get points for the connections

0:25:19 > 0:25:20so let's resolve the wall.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23There we go. That's what we were hoping to see.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Windermere, Hunstanton, Bracknell, Chiltern.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33- These are aristocratic characters in plays.- Can you be more specific?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Oscar Wilde plays? - Oscar Wilde plays.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38They are ladies from Oscar Wilde productions.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40And the next green group starting Malvern.

0:25:40 > 0:25:45- They are groups of hills.- They're ranges of hills. And the next one.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Cheviot, Rambouillet and so on. - Are they sheep?

0:25:48 > 0:25:52They are all breeds of sheep. And what about the last turquoise group?

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Martinique, Reunion, Mayotte, Brittany.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57They are all regions of France.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00They are administrative regions of France even though only

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Brittany is actually in France. The others are abroad.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05But they are all officially regions of France.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09So that's four points. Let's have a look at the scores.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12The Oscar Men have ten points, the Psmiths have 12.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18So, it's pretty neck and neck as we go into the missing vowels round.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24The first group are all phrases expressing happiness.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53This is entertainer.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55So, that is it.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58The bell has gone and looking at the final scores, the winners with

0:27:58 > 0:28:0214 points and straight through to the quarterfinals are the Psmiths.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09You're not going home, of course.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11You'll get another chance to play your way into

0:28:11 > 0:28:13the quarterfinals a little later on.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19charity specials this series,

0:28:19 > 0:28:22I can tell you the answer is, we just can't get the teams any more.
