0:00:21 > 0:00:25Good evening, and I'm afraid there's bad news for quizzers everywhere.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29The International Olympic Committee has just ruled that quizzing is
0:00:29 > 0:00:33not a sport. Officially not a sport.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34So, that's a shame.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37On the plus side, it means we can now take all the drugs we like!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Sadly receiving the news too late,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42and thus quizzing sober tonight, are -
0:00:42 > 0:00:46on my right, Ian Wallace, a bee enthusiast,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49who at six months old weighed 2st,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and was named the heaviest baby in Tyneside.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Josh Spero, a classics graduate who inadvertently ate a
0:00:56 > 0:00:59floral decoration at a parliamentary dinner.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And their captain, Mark Wallace,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05a political journalist who got into an altercation with global megastar
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Seal over an egg and cress sandwich.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10United by a taste for honey, they are the Beekeepers.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Now, you won your opening matches,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15but just dropped a game against the Cosmopolitans.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Has that dented confidence?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Not in the slightest. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22So we're here, we're back, and we're hoping to get ahead this time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Or it kills you later.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Sometimes.- Well, let's hope nothing kills you tonight,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29least of all your opponents, who are -
0:01:29 > 0:01:32on my left, Howard Freedman,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35a taxi driver who met his girlfriend on the picket line during
0:01:35 > 0:01:39the Wapping dispute. Adrian Knott, a keen ukulele player,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44who gave his sister a mounted dead tarantula as a wedding present.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And their captain, Michael Slowey,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50a business studies graduate who witnessed several armed robberies as
0:01:50 > 0:01:53a child, most of them at his local post office.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57United by a soft spot for statuettes, they are the Oscar Men.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Now, you lost your last game against the Smiths,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02has that dented your confidence? How are you feeling?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04No, not at all, we're surprisingly relaxed.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07So, both teams have now a second, and last, chance
0:02:07 > 0:02:08to make the quarterfinals,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11and we will determine it by playing our usual quiz.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14You won the toss over there, so you'll be going first.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Lion, please.- Lion. OK.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21What is the connection between these clues?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Here's the first.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27THEY WHISPER
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Next, please.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35The eighth wonder of the world?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36THEY WHISPER
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Next, please.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46That's Donkey Kong. Kong.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Kong.- Is the answer.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54You didn't need to see the last one.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58The other clues are all Kong.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Yes, you recognised the computer game, did you, Donkey Kong?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Yes.- Have you played that obsessively as a younger person?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08As a five-year-old, yeah, I was up and down those ladders all the time.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11And the eighth wonder of course, King Kong, from the film.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13What's Miranda - Queen, what's that referring to?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Her friend calls her, in the TV series, her friend calls her
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Queen Kong, because she's very tall and ungainly.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20That's right, in the sitcom Miranda,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Miranda Hart's character is referred to as Queen Kong by her
0:03:23 > 0:03:25boarding school chums. Well done.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Oscar Men, what would you like?
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Can we have Horned Viper, please?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I don't see why not. These are going to be picture clues.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33What connects them? Here's the first.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Tyrannosaurus Rex, but it's in 8-bit graphics.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Next, please.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43OK, broken robot...
0:03:45 > 0:03:48THEY WHISPER
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Yeah. Next, please.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I think this might be to do with
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Douglas Adams. A whale flying, and
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Marvin the Android was a...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08OK. Shall we go for Douglas Adams?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Erm, can we go for Douglas Adams linking them all?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Or, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, specifically?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Yes, I don't think it really is...
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I quite like that inventive answer,
0:04:18 > 0:04:19but that's not what it is.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'm going to show the fourth clue to the
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Beekeepers for a possible bonus point.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27These are the symbols displayed by
0:04:27 > 0:04:30particular websites when they break.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- So, failure online. - That's what it is.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35They are error messages,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37pictorial error messages.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Which websites?- We've got Google Chrome is the first one.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Josh was playing that on the train on the way here,
0:04:43 > 0:04:44when his internet connection broke.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47There's a little game, when it goes down you press the space bar,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and the dinosaur races, and you have to jump over cacti.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So when you claimed that your obsessive Donkey Kong playing was
0:04:52 > 0:04:54when you were five years old, you were fudging the truth?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- I didn't say I'd stopped! - Just through other media.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59The third one is the fail whale
0:04:59 > 0:05:00on Twitter.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01That's absolutely right.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02The final one would be YouTube.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04That's it, well done for the bonus.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06And you may choose a question. Which is it?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds, OK.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10What is the connection between these clues?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Here's the first.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Next, please.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Are these two different things?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28THEY WHISPER
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Next, please.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34THEY WHISPER
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Some sort of publishers... - Shall we go for another?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Yes.- Next, please.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Fictional publishers.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Fictional publishers.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50They are not
0:05:50 > 0:05:51all fictional publishers.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52So, Oscar Men, you have the chance
0:05:52 > 0:05:53of a bonus point.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56These are all the companies in different versions of The Office,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- throughout the world. - That is what it is.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59It's versions of The Office.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And if they were all publishers, there'd be all fictional publishers.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04But actually in the first one, it becomes an insurance firm
0:06:04 > 0:06:07in the German version of The Office. It's insurance.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Les Papiers Jennings, which version is that, do you think?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11La Francaise?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It's actually Canada, French-Canadian version,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15it's set in a paper company in Montreal.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Dunder Mifflin...
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- That's the US version. - That's the American one,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20that's set in Pennsylvania. And Wernham Hogg, of course,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23the British one, in a paper company in Slough.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So you get the bonus there, for versions of The Office.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27And which question would you like?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Twisted Flax, please. - The Twisted Flax.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Well, it's a music question.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33We'll be hearing your lovely clues.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35What connects them? Here's the first.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:06:37 > 0:06:41I know the piece of music. I don't know what it is, though.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Next, please.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48# You could have done something... #
0:06:48 > 0:06:50This is a theme tune, isn't it?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Does this ring a bell to you? - Not really, no.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Will we just get one more? Next, please.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01# Spring is here, sky is blue... #
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- THEY WHISPER - Yeah, OK.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Next one, please.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10# If I am dancing, pull up the floor
0:07:10 > 0:07:12# If I am whistling...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Three seconds...
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Shall we say weddings? - Yeah, weddings, involving weddings.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21That is not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23So Beekeepers, you have a bonus chance now.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26These are different types of ecclesiastical location,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28or different types of church.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30They are places of worship, yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Now, we did hear Get Me To The Church On Time,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34which is about a wedding,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36and Chapel of Love, which I suppose could be a wedding chapel.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38What about the first two pieces?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42The second was Winchester Cathedral,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44who it was by escapes me.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- The New Vaudeville Band. - Ah, yes.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- And the first one? - No idea.- Not sure.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Tchaikovsky's A l'eglise,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51or To The Church, in French.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53So not all about weddings, but more
0:07:53 > 0:07:55generally, places of worship.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Lots of bonuses changing hands this evening.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58What about your own question?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Water, please.- OK.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01What is the connection between these clues?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Here's the first.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Next, please.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15THEY WHISPER
0:08:27 > 0:08:31These are letters that have been deleted from alphabets,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and the date and country which did so, and when.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Very well done,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37coming in after two clues.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You get three points. Let's have a look at all the clues,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42what can you tell me about them?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44So...
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Did Ataturk not like the letter Q?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Well, he didn't like the letter Q,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51but also, he passed the alphabet law.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54So they Romanised the alphabet generally, but they dropped the Q,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57that disappeared, and K was preferred.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Those letters from the Cyrillic
0:08:59 > 0:09:00alphabet in the second clue,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02that's to do with a general
0:09:02 > 0:09:03simplifying of the language,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07in a Communist style. They took a few out that were a bit alike,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08because we don't need them all.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Azerbaijan decided it could dispense
0:09:10 > 0:09:12with the entire Cyrillic alphabet in
0:09:12 > 0:09:141991, and what about that fourth clue?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Does that ring any bells with you?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19The Academie Francaise, in its perpetual revision of the
0:09:19 > 0:09:22French language, decided 26 years ago, I think,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24that they were going to get rid of some letters,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27and they only just got rid of the silent I in "oignon".
0:09:27 > 0:09:28That's right. To the absolute fury
0:09:28 > 0:09:29of the National Front.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31FRENCH ACCENT: "What? But the I is
0:09:31 > 0:09:32"absolutely key to our identity!"
0:09:32 > 0:09:33That was dropped,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35and there were all sorts of complaints,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37so you might have remembered that news story.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40All removed letters, very well done.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Oscar Men, there is one remaining question, the Eye of Horus,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45so it's swivelling itself towards you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47What is the connection between these clues?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Here's the first.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53THEY WHISPER
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Next one, please.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02They've been named after gods, or...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Norse gods, or something, I don't know.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Next, please.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Norse gods or Roman gods?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28We believe they may all be named after Norse gods.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31They are not all named after
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Norse gods, I'm afraid,
0:10:33 > 0:10:34so I'm going to show the fourth clue
0:10:34 > 0:10:36to the Beekeepers for a possible
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- bonus point.- These things that the name has been voted on
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- in a popular vote.- I'll take that.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Things that have been voted on.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47They've been the subject of polls on the internet, not all of them
0:10:47 > 0:10:49actually adopted as names.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The newly-discovered moons of Pluto,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53do you know what Star Trek fans voted for?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Moony McMoonface?
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Spock.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58No, it was Vulcan and Romulus.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01But they were called Styx and Kerberos instead.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03The apple-flavoured Mountain Dew drink,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05that wasn't an official thing by Mountain Dew, it was a third party.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09They had this poll, and people voted for things like Diabetes.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13And the humpbacked whale,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15now that WAS given the name that people voted for on the internet,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18which was Mr Splashy Pants.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think that's one of the places where your Norse gods rather
0:11:20 > 0:11:24fall down, Mr Splashy Pants. And what about that fourth one?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Boaty McBoatface. - Boaty McBoatface won the poll,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28but the people were denied, cruelly.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Boaty McBoatface won the poll,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33but the vessel was named after Sir David Attenborough,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35the great naturalist, instead.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Well remembered. That means, at the end of Round One,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41the Oscar Men have one point, the Beekeepers have eight.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Onwards to Round Two, the sequences round.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Beekeepers, you'll be going first again,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50so please choose a hieroglyph.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51- Lion, please.- Lion.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55OK, I'd like to know what would come fourth in this sequence.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Here's the first.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00THEY WHISPER
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Next, please.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07THEY WHISPER
0:12:07 > 0:12:11So, Clinton, Bush, Obama - "Yes, we can".
0:12:16 > 0:12:18"Yes, we can, (44)".
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Is an acceptable answer.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Very well done, and why?
0:12:22 > 0:12:26These are the slogans associated with Presidents,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29followed by the President's number in brackets.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30That's absolutely right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Not the only slogans,
0:12:32 > 0:12:33but various slogans are
0:12:33 > 0:12:36associated with presidential campaigns, and these are some
0:12:36 > 0:12:38of them. Who are the presidents?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Bush, Clinton,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Bush, and Obama.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That's absolutely right. So, "yes, we can",
0:12:45 > 0:12:46or some other slogan associated with
0:12:46 > 0:12:48President Obama, the 44th President,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I wanted to hear.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Oscar Men, what would you like?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Two Reeds, please. - The Two Reeds, OK.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55These are going to be picture clues,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58what sort of thing would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Here's the first.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Val Kilmer...
0:13:03 > 0:13:04It could be Batmans.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Next, please.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09OK, right. Let's work this out.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15It was George Clooney, then it was Michael Keaton...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- No.- Oh, is it Christian Bale?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Then, it's got to be... What do you call him? Ben Affleck.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Ben Affleck.- Is the right answer for
0:13:26 > 0:13:28three points, very well done.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Tell me who you're looking at, and what the sequence is.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34A rather chubby Val Kilmer, he was in Batman Returns,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37and then there's George Clooney, was in Batman and Robin.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Christian Bale was The Dark Knight.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Then we've now got the Batman v Superman version, Ben Affleck.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45That's pretty much it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Batman Forever was Val Kilmer's film,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49but they are successive Batmen.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51And the most recent in 2016,
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Ben Affleck from Batman v Superman - Dawn Of Justice.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Very well done, and back to you Beekeepers for a choice.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Horned Viper, please.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02The Horned Viper. OK, what would come fourth in this sequence?
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Here's the first.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- 1946... We need to go for another. - I'll get it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Next, please.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- These are cars.- Oh, yeah, cars.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- So it's vintage... I don't know the date.- Do you want another?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- It's- 1900. Shall we get another? - Yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Next, please.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I think it's 1900-1915...
0:14:27 > 0:14:31It's a classic.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Is it classic?- Yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36THEY WHISPER
0:14:40 > 0:14:451900-1915 - Classic.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Not the answer I'm afraid,
0:14:46 > 0:14:47although an interesting guess,
0:14:47 > 0:14:48and I'll come back to you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Oscar Men, do you want to have a go
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- for a bonus?- 1914 and below, and we're going to go with veteran.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Before 1914, veteran
0:14:55 > 0:14:57is the right answer.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58What is the sequence?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01These are all classified of old cars, reg of all the cars,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04so having a classic car is what you have now.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08But these were all how you would classify the cars in these various
0:15:08 > 0:15:10periods of age.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11That's right. They are
0:15:11 > 0:15:12classifications of classic cars.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I think the problem with your answer
0:15:14 > 0:15:15is that they are all sort of classic.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16And also 1915 is the beginning of
0:15:16 > 0:15:18the vintage period, so we need
0:15:18 > 0:15:20to hear 1914 and before and veteran.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Or Edwardian, some people say.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Which I think is rather nicer.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Edwardian. Rather charming.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27So, well done for the bonus,
0:15:27 > 0:15:28and what would you like
0:15:28 > 0:15:29for your own question?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Twisted Flax, please. - The Twisted Flax.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33What would come fourth in this sequence?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Here's the first.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Right, 129.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Next one, please.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42So, 134...
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Got an idea? - Not yet, no.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46OK, shall we move on?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Yeah.- OK, can we have the next one, please?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52THEY WHISPER
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Three seconds.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09OK, 156 in black.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- And why would that be?- It's just a nice number and it's a nice colour.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Unfortunately,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16it's not the right answer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Beekeepers.- 147 in black.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Is the right answer.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- And why?- Because these are the
0:16:24 > 0:16:28scores you get in a perfect game in snooker when you get 147...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31That's the colour you've just potted to get to that score.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32That is exactly right.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33The colour represents the
0:16:33 > 0:16:36snooker ball you've just potted to get that score on your way to
0:16:36 > 0:16:38a perfect break. Now, here's where
0:16:38 > 0:16:39you were unlucky, Oscar Men,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41with your guess of 156 in black.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Had you said 155 in black,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I would have given it to you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Do you know why?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Yeah, because a foul...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51If your opponent fouls, you can get extra points...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53That's right, if your opponent fouls
0:16:53 > 0:16:54before your perfect break,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56you would get 155.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I would have given you that, but you were one wrong in your otherwise
0:16:59 > 0:17:00- beautiful guess.- Thank you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02You get the bonus then, Beekeepers.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03And which question would you like?
0:17:03 > 0:17:04- Water, please.- Water.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07OK. What would come fourth in this sequence?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Here is the first.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Are these constituencies? - Next, please.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13THEY WHISPER
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Yeah, but which election? I'm not sure it was last year.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Next, please.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- Sunderland South. - Sunderland South, yeah.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Sunderland South.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I will accept,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34but before the answer comes up,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36we've got something slightly longer on the screen.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Do you know what it is?
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Come, come.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You're a political journalist.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Is it something...?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Is it South with four- Hs? No.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47It's Houghton and Sunderland South.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49That is the full name of the constituency,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52known as Sunderland South, as was its previous name.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54And what is the sequence?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58This is in reverse order the constituencies which declared
0:17:58 > 0:18:01respectively fourth, third, second and first
0:18:01 > 0:18:04at the last general election?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06In the 2015 general election,
0:18:06 > 0:18:07it is in reverse order
0:18:07 > 0:18:08the first four to declare.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10And Sunderland South often is.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I mean, in the last six elections,
0:18:12 > 0:18:13they were the first to declare,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15that is why people might remember them.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Well done.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17They also remember them if they
0:18:17 > 0:18:18come from that area or have lived in
0:18:18 > 0:18:20that area, or have any kind of
0:18:20 > 0:18:21knowledge, I don't mean it's
0:18:21 > 0:18:22just because of that election,
0:18:22 > 0:18:23but I mean people might guess
0:18:23 > 0:18:24the answer for that reason.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Don't write in. Oscar Men,
0:18:26 > 0:18:27one question remains.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The Eye of Horus. Once again, that's left on the shelf.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33What would come fourth in this sequence?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Here's the first.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39THEY WHISPER
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- This is musicals by Ben Elton. - Oh, right.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Next, please.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Right, so...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54No, I don't think so.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- This is definitely...- What's the one he did with Lloyd Webber?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- That's The Beautiful Game. - Oh, right.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Next, please.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Tonight's The Night.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08THEY WHISPER
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Three seconds.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16OK, we are going to go with Tommy.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Beekeepers, do you know?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Billy Elliot?- That's not it either.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25What do you think the sequence is?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Not really sure. Something about musicals.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28What do you think the sequence is?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29We thought it was Ben Elton musicals
0:19:29 > 0:19:31but we didn't know what his newest one was.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32It is Ben Elton musicals,
0:19:32 > 0:19:36and the next one is Love Never Dies.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Yes. They are musicals in the CV of the wonderful Ben Elton.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41There's an urban myth about
0:19:41 > 0:19:42The Beautiful Game,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44have you ever heard it? About how
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Ben Elton came to write it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- No.- No.- The urban myth has it that
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Andrew Lloyd Webber when looking for
0:19:49 > 0:19:51someone to write the book for his
0:19:51 > 0:19:52musical about football wanted to
0:19:52 > 0:19:56approach the comedian David Baddiel, who is a writer,
0:19:56 > 0:19:57who knows a lot about football,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59and slightly muddled up
0:19:59 > 0:20:00David Baddiel and Ben Elton
0:20:00 > 0:20:02in his head because some people
0:20:02 > 0:20:03think they look alike.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04I'm sure it's not true.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05But I've heard that said.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Anyway, Ben Elton wrote it. It was a
0:20:06 > 0:20:07massive success and he went on to
0:20:07 > 0:20:08write these others.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Tonight's The Night,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12what music does that feature?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I don't know.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- It doesn't ring a bell.- Oh, come on.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17# Tonight's the night. #
0:20:17 > 0:20:19It's a Rod Stewart musical but it's
0:20:19 > 0:20:20actually not above the life of
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Rod Stewart. It's about a Detroit
0:20:21 > 0:20:23car worker, that particular story.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26But a jukebox musical with his music in it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28All Ben Elton musicals,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30but you didn't get the last one.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31At the end of Round Two, then,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33the Oscar Men have five points,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35the Beekeepers have 14.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Let's get these teams up against the wall, the Connecting Wall.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44And, Oscar Men, you'll be going first this time.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46So, please choose - Lion or Water?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Water wall, please. - OK.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Two and a half minutes to solve the water wall, starting now.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54That's a website.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Cockermouth in the Kendal...
0:20:58 > 0:20:59These are places in Cumbria.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04BUZZ
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Kendal, Barrow. Keswick... - Yeah.- Cockermouth.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07BUZZ
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Kendal, Barrow, Keswick, Aspatria.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10BUZZ
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- No, not Chuckle. - Not Chuckle, sorry.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15BUZZ
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- What are we missing out? - Miss out Aspatria.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18OK.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- BUZZ - No, this isn't...
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Brothers...
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Marx brothers, Coen brothers, Chuckle brothers...
0:21:27 > 0:21:28And Wright brothers.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- BUZZ - Everly brothers.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Marx, Chuckle, Coen.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- OK. So...- Guffaw, Chortle... - Titter...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Must be Cachinnate.- Yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Three lives now.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK, so, Cockermouth and Kendal,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Barrow and...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49We've had Keswick, haven't we? Have we tried...?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Wheelchair, wheelspin, Wheelwright, wheelbarrow.- OK, so...
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Wheelspin. - No, no.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Wheelspin, Wheelwright, wheelchair, Barrow.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00You solved the wall.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Very well done. So, that's four points immediately.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04And what about the connections?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08The top group - Marx, Chuckle, Coen, Everly?
0:22:08 > 0:22:09- All brothers. - That is it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11They are all well-known groups of brothers.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15And the green group - Chortle, Guffaw, I suppose that's Cachinnate,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- and Titter. - They're all laughs. Types of laugh.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20They are ways to talk about laughter.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22And what about the next group, starting Chair?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24All preceded by the word wheel.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Wheelchair, wheelspin, wheelbarrow, Wheelwright.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30That is correct. And what about this next one, starting Keswick?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32These are all towns in Cumbria.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35They are all places in Cumbria.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37That is four points for the groups, four more for the connections,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39another two for getting it all right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Has that cheered you up after the earlier rounds?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- It has indeed.- A little bit. - Raised our spirits a bit.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Excellent stuff. Let's bring in their opponents now and give them a
0:22:46 > 0:22:49new Connecting Wall, see what they can do about solving it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53You will be getting the Lion wall, that's what remains.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57You have two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02So, children's game...
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Children's TV shows - Flumps, Magic Roundabout, Paddington,
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Noggin the Nog.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Engie Benjy and various others.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11What else have we got? Melancholy, Psyche,...
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Grecian Urn, Nightingale, odes on.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Yeah.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Ode on Melancholy?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Michelangelo's David?
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Melancholy.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- BUZZ - OK. Right, let's keep...
0:23:23 > 0:23:28There's various different...
0:23:28 > 0:23:32What's Engie Benjy? It must be another children's TV show.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Paddington Bear... Is there another bear?- Not that I can see.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- BUZZ - What else have we got? Bondi Beach.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Waybuloo is presumably an Australian place as well.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Anywhere else in there? - Paddington is...
0:23:46 > 0:23:50So, Bondi Beach, Woolloomooloo, Paddington...
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Is Waybuloo an Australian...?
0:23:53 > 0:23:54- BUZZ - No.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Nightingale, I think. - OK.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- BUZZ - OK. What else do we have in here?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02So, The Rocks.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03On The Rocks?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08BUZZ
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- BUZZ - It's definitely Ode.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Autumn? - Yes, on Autumn.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18BUZZ
0:24:18 > 0:24:20OK, do you want to take over?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Grecian Urn and...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25BUZZ
0:24:26 > 0:24:28BUZZ
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- BUZZ - OK, erm...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36The machine. What is the machine going to be?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Florence... - Oh, Florence and...
0:24:38 > 0:24:39The Magic Roundabout and Florence.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Oh, so Florence and the Machine, Florence and the Magic Roundabout,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Florence Nightingale and Florence...
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Florence!
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- OK. - Three lives now.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Right, so, Australia. So, we've got children's...
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Children's stuff, so we've got Noggin the Nog, Engie Benjy...
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Paddington and Waybuloo... - The Flumps.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- The Flumps. And then... Paddington? - Go on, sure.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- BUZZ - No, right, OK.
