0:00:31 > 0:00:33Admittedly, the tie-break question was

0:00:36 > 0:00:38but still, exciting times.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Unfortunately, I'm disappointed

0:01:19 > 0:01:22What bit of your journey have you least enjoyed?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Getting here to discover that the glamour of television is a lie
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and it's only water, not gin, in the glasses.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11We tried knowing things and we tried bribery,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13but we settled on systematic blood doping.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'm looking forward to the outcome.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Tonight, we are playing for a place in the semifinals.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55cos you DON'T think so?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57No, I think she's right.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36which was in the news because parents were saying
0:09:36 > 0:09:38this was incredible at putting children to sleep.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41My own books have the same effect,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43but this one is a story in which
0:09:43 > 0:09:44you yawn as you read it -
0:09:44 > 0:09:46apparently it was a bit magical
0:09:46 > 0:09:48and put children to sleep sort of straightaway,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50so the newspapers covered it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52All creators of fictional rabbits.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Well done. That means,

0:11:09 > 0:11:11the answer your opponents just gave.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12So if I said, "That's right",
0:11:12 > 0:11:14it'd look like blatant favouritism.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16What do you think the sequence is?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Chances of drawing an ace.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21It is to do with cards of the pack.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22So it's the chances
0:11:22 > 0:11:24of successive cards being aces,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26so when you've got 52 cards,
0:11:26 > 0:11:27the chance the top card is an ace
0:11:27 > 0:11:29is one in 13, once that's gone,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31you've got 51 cards so if it's another ace,
0:11:31 > 0:11:32there's three aces left,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34so it's three out of 51,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35one in 17,
0:11:35 > 0:11:36then two aces left out of 50 cards,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38one in 25, so we wanted to hear
0:11:38 > 0:11:40one in 49
0:11:40 > 0:11:41because you've got 49 cards
0:11:41 > 0:11:43and one ace left.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45So, no bonus, Korfballers.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46You may choose a question.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Oh, erm...
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It's a little word thing.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I think it's to do with letters.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I don't know.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I have no suggestions.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Three seconds.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32BELL
0:12:32 > 0:12:34U-m.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Why would that be?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It's sort of turning towards ytterbium but it isn't really,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39and so I thought there might be
0:12:39 > 0:12:40something clever in that.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Nice guess but, I'm afraid,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43not the right answer - Beekeepers,
0:12:43 > 0:12:44want to have a go for a bonus point?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Is it Pb?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48And why would that be?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52That would be lead and this would be the atomic decay
0:12:52 > 0:12:56of some kind of radioactive molecule.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'm not a chemist but I'm prepared
0:12:58 > 0:12:59to hazard that there is not
0:12:59 > 0:13:01an exact sequence in that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Korfballers, you have been unlucky again, as you were with the cards,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06because the answer is ytterbium.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- It's represented by...- Yt.- Yb.- Yb.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Yes, why is it ytterbium?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Did you come up with that at random?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I thought... No, I did, yes. Random.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18That is an amazing coincidence.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Sort of.- The set is this.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23There are elements named after
0:13:23 > 0:13:25the Swedish village of Ytterby.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It was a place of fascination
0:13:27 > 0:13:29to scientists because
0:13:29 > 0:13:31so many new elements were
0:13:31 > 0:13:35discovered there and these are yttrium, terbium,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37erbium and ytterbium,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39so we are going up in atomic number.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Elements named after Ytterby.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Beekeepers, what would you like?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Lion, please.- Lion. OK.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36212016.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Korfballers, want to have
0:14:39 > 0:14:40a go for a bonus point?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I think it's 162017.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46It is 162017.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yes, this was much easier
0:14:48 > 0:14:49than you might at first think,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51it's simply spelling out, in a row,
0:14:51 > 0:14:542012, 2013, 2014, 2015,
0:14:54 > 0:14:562016, 2017,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58is what I want to hear,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00just those years, as you suspected,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02but that is the end of it.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04So you get a bonus and a question. Which would you like?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I would like the Water,
0:15:06 > 0:15:07to mix it up a bit, please.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09OK, these are going to be picture clues.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Here is the first.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Next, please.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The pack? What do you call it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Yeah.- Next, please.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- It's a horse.- A horse.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Are they sizes of something?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39A thumb can be quantity
0:15:39 > 0:15:41of something - can it?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- A thumb...- A thumb, and...
0:15:44 > 0:15:45You can measure horses but...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47What comes after horses?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52BELL
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Herd.- Would it be a herd?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It would not be a herd.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Beekeepers, your bonus chance now.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59We believe it is
0:15:59 > 0:16:03a picture of a knight with a K, a medieval knight.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Why would that be?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06For want of a nail, a shoe was lost,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08for want of a shoe, a horse was lost,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10want of a horse, a knight was lost.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Want of a knight, a battle was lost.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13That is absolutely right.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It is that nursery rhyme -
0:16:15 > 0:16:16for want of a nail the shoe was lost,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18for want of a shoe the horse was lost,
0:16:18 > 0:16:19for want of a horse,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21the knight was lost, or rider.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22We've got a picture of
0:16:22 > 0:16:24my dressing room rider,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26you'll see there a champagne cocktail
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and that's a still from the episode of Great Continental Railway Journeys
0:16:29 > 0:16:31where Michael Portillo
0:16:31 > 0:16:32was thrashed with birch twigs.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33I'm sure everyone remembers -
0:16:33 > 0:16:35stripped off, really thrashed.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37There he is in his underpants,
0:16:37 > 0:16:38really going at it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40That's on my dressing room rider,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42the picture and the drink.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44So any picture of a rider or knight
0:16:44 > 0:16:46to complete that nursery rhyme.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Well done for the bonus point.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49You may choose your question.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Twisted Flax, please.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24Yeah...
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Two seconds. BELL
0:17:37 > 0:17:39West Ham... Sorry, first,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42West Ham brackets Labour.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43I see your thinking
0:17:43 > 0:17:44but that is not the answer.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Korfballers, want to have a go for a bonus point?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Erm - first, Whitney Conservative.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52That's not it either.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Oh, dear, Beekeepers,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55now this is where you've been unlucky.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58They are the largest Parliamentary majorities,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00but the largest, first,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02is Knowsley for Labour,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04George Howarth there.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05If only someone on your team
0:18:05 > 0:18:06were a political journalist(!)
0:18:06 > 0:18:08That's the sort of expertise you'd need.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Unluckily, you recognised the sequence
0:18:10 > 0:18:12but you didn't give me
0:18:12 > 0:18:14the correct fourth one.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Korfballers, what would you like?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17I think the Eye of Horus.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I think that's just as well.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20What would come fourth in this sequence?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Here's the first.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Could be a piece, or...
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Yeah, let's just...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Next, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Codes? Uh...
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I think we need another one.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Next, please.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43THEY CONFER
0:18:47 > 0:18:48BELL
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Ultraviolet.- For what reason?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53We think, well, it has the initials UV,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55a canonised person is a saint, ST,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59QR is a phone-readable black square and, presumably,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01O in musical composition is OP.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03OP for opus.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04That is absolutely right,
0:19:04 > 0:19:05they can be abbreviated to OP,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07QR and ST, we want something
0:19:07 > 0:19:09that can be represented by UV,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11like ultraviolet light - well done.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13That means, at the end of round two,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16the Beekeepers have seven points,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18the Korfballers have ten.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Time now for the Connecting Wall
0:19:22 > 0:19:24and it'll be the Korfballers to go first this time,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26so please choose - Lion or Water?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28We'll choose the Water, please.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31OK, you have two-and-a-half minutes to solve the Water wall,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33starting now.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Lots of different trees, pines.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Cypress, maybe.- Or fish?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Probably some kind of grey fish. Uh...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Ooh. Don't see many more.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Hemlock, cypress...- Belladonna.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Yes. Poison, hemlock. Mandrake.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- No.- No. Cypress, maybe?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- No?- I don't think it's poisonous.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Rue is also a kind of herb.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09But I don't think it's poisonous.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Let's do the clicking. You keep thinking.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15OK, lovely.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17So fir, pine, cypress, spruce.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19And Canada, maybe.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20OK. Let's try.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33OK. So, fir.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I think there might be a word one, here
0:20:37 > 0:20:40because I don't see anything that Achilles really goes with.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Any types of hair style?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- LAUGHING:- Only mullet.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Press, lock...
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Mother goose, grey goose.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Canada goose.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- And spruce goose.- Yes.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Three lives now.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Missile.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01What's Sarkozy's first name?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Nicolas.- Nicolas.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Cypress.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Sark - Channel Islands?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Mull.- Yes.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13- Achill.- Yeah.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Cypress?- Or Barrac?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Barra, yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21You've solved the wall, very well done.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23What about the connections?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Tell me about the first group - Mandrake, Rue, Aconite, Belladonna.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28They're medicinal or poisonous plants.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Poisonous, specifically.- Poisonous.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Let's go with poisonous, before anyone at home thinks,
0:21:33 > 0:21:34"I've got a bit of a headache,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37"I think I'll gobble some belladonna and mandrake."
0:21:37 > 0:21:38They're all poisons.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42And the green group. Canada, Spruce, Grey, Mother.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Goose.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Can all be followed by goose.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And the pink or purple group,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50whatever colour that is, it starts Sarkozy, what is it?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52They start with islands.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53British islands.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55All start with islands. Well done.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59And the last group, Pine, Hemlock, Cypress, Fir.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Evergreen trees.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04That is a little bit too broad,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I need one specific thing they have in common.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12They all have cones?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Greens with cones on them.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16They all produce cones, they are conifers,
0:22:16 > 0:22:17that is absolutely right.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19So, that is all the connections
0:22:19 > 0:22:22as well, plus the bonus, a maximum of ten points, well done.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Let's bring the Beekeepers in now
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and give them the other Connecting Wall, the Lion wall,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and see what they can do with it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Two-and-a-half minutes to solve this Lion wall, starting now.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37So...um...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Fletching is an arrow.- Yes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Nock.- Nock. Head? Arrow head?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Shaft.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49OK. So what else?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Hever Castle. Leeds Castle.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Um...Walmer.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54- Deal Castle?- Deal Castle.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56They're all...
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Ports, aren't they?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- No, Hever isn't. - They're all castles.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04They're castles in Kent. Castles in Kent.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Shall I carry on with castles? - Yes, if you could.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Livers, as well.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Oh - are they things...? If you put an S in front...
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Slivers, snit, snot.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19That's a good idea - so if we could try...
0:23:19 > 0:23:24Snob, slivers, snot and snit.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Or...
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Snaves. Sdeal? Snight?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's not that.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41- Scooling? - Depends on your education!
0:23:41 > 0:23:44OK. Going on castles.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Um, OK.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Is it something about the rest of the word without the N?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Oh, K, knight again.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00So night, nave, nob, nit or not.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02It'll be one of these.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Right...- Three lives now.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Hever, Leeds and Deal are all castles in Kent.
0:24:08 > 0:24:14So we have Hever, Leeds, Deal.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Did we try Walmer? - We tried Walmer before.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It could of course be something else.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24So Nit Castle? Snug... Walmer Castle.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Cooling? Cooling Castle?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Cooling Tower...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Let's undo these. We need to.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Chicken livers.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Is there something inside?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Let's try again.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Ten seconds.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49That's it, that's your third life, the wall has frozen
0:24:49 > 0:24:51but you found two groups and I'll also give you points
0:24:51 > 0:24:53for the connections.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Fletching, Nock, Shaft, Head.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57All related to archery.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59They are parts of an arrow, quite right.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01And the green group, starting Nob?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Is all another word, if you add the letter K at the start.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06That's right, not an S but a K,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08to make another sort of knob, knave, knight, knot.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10And you can still get points for the connections
0:25:10 > 0:25:13in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17There we go. Deal, Livers, Nit, Snug tent.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Can't give you long.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25If you don't see it, you just don't.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27They're anagrams of metals.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Lead, silver, tin, tungsten.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32And the last one,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Walmer, Cooling, Hever, Leeds.
