0:00:21 > 0:00:23Who wants to be a millionaire?

0:00:23 > 0:00:27I don't. Parking a helicopter would be a nightmare for a start.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30All that hovering around the area, looking for a vacant capital H.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Luckily, on this show, there are no prizes at all,

0:00:33 > 0:00:36so our teams have nothing like that to worry about.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Continuing their journey towards absolutely nothing tonight

0:00:39 > 0:00:42are, on my right...

0:00:42 > 0:00:46Mark Smith, an archivist with a PhD in the politics of culture

0:00:46 > 0:00:49in Nigeria 1939-1966,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51whose great uncle Albert is coincidentally

0:00:51 > 0:00:54the first ever Bishop of northern Nigeria.

0:00:54 > 0:00:59Nick Holland, a freelance copywriter and keen ventriloquist who performs

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Nessun Dorma with his tortoise puppet, Sheldon.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05And their captain, Nick Reed,

0:01:05 > 0:01:09a charity administrator who walked alongside the singer Billy Bragg

0:01:09 > 0:01:10for over 15 minutes

0:01:10 > 0:01:13without ever drumming up the courage to say hello.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16United by a soft spot for sad singers and silent letters,

0:01:16 > 0:01:18they are the Psmiths.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Now, in your journey so far you lost your most recent game against the

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Cosmopolitans, but you get another chance now to make it through

0:01:24 > 0:01:26to the semifinals. Do you have a game plan for tonight?

0:01:26 > 0:01:30We do, we've had three nail-biting wins and a blowout defeat.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32We decided we prefer the former

0:01:32 > 0:01:34and have been trying to get into a groove

0:01:34 > 0:01:36with the team mantra "Hello to Jason Isaacs".

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Well, good luck with that plan tonight.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41You'll be taking it up against, on my left...

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Phyl Styles,

0:01:43 > 0:01:44a secondary school teacher

0:01:44 > 0:01:47who fainted while giving blood in France.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Tom Cappleman, a software engineer who's spent an hour a day playing

0:01:51 > 0:01:54the same computer game for the past 11 years.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57And their captain, Graeme Cole,

0:01:57 > 0:01:59a computer sciences graduate whose great,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02great, great, great grandfather was a Cornish smuggler with a comb-over.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06United by a weakness for wordplay, they are the Verbivores.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Now, eagle-eyed viewers will have noticed that this is a rematch.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12You actually met the Psmiths in your opening heat.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15How are you feeling about encountering them again?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Well, we lost our first encounter by just two points,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20and since then we've got steadily better on the wall,

0:02:20 > 0:02:23but we've also got steadily worse on missing vowels.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Hopefully not by quite the same amount.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28So, we'll see what happens.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30We won't see what happens unless we play the quiz.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Let's start with Round One.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35What is the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:02:35 > 0:02:39So, two old sparring partner teams go up against each other.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Let's kick that off again. Psmiths, what would you like?

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds. OK. Picture clues immediately.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Something connects them, what is it?

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Here's the first.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54NICK STIFLES LAUGHTER

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Next.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I don't know that in the least.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Next.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Is that...? That's the G-Mex centre, is it?

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- We don't...- Maybe they all start with GI...

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Next.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Now that is... It's a herb, isn't it? A herb.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Three seconds.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27With no confidence at all,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30we think they might all start with G hyphen.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32They do not all start with G hyphen.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34So, Verbivores, you've got the chance of a bonus point.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36- They're all sage.- They're all sage?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38They are all sage.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Who is that in the second picture? Phyl, I feel sure you know.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43- No!- Rapper Sage the Gemini?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh, that's my thing, yes.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47And in that third picture,

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- that is a music venue, Sage Gateshead.- Yes.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51And in the last one, the herb sage.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54All sage. Well done for a bonus point.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56- And you may choose a question. - Eye of Horus, please.- Eye of Horus.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59OK. What is the connection between these clues?

0:03:59 > 0:04:00Here's the first.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04What acts as a question mark in Greek?

0:04:04 > 0:04:06THEY CONFER

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Do we want the next one, then?

0:04:10 > 0:04:11- Yeah.- Next.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15I think, I think you could be right.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Semicolon to show you've been to college.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Yeah.- Shall we go with it?- Yeah.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Semicolons?

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Is the right answer.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26You didn't need to see the next two clues.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29In English, a semicolon separates major sentence elements.

0:04:29 > 0:04:30And in emoticons,

0:04:30 > 0:04:32they mean a winking eye.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Kurt Vonnegut said, "Do not use semicolons,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36"they are transvestite hermaphrodites

0:04:36 > 0:04:38"representing absolutely nothing.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41"All they do is show you've been to college."

0:04:41 > 0:04:43I'm not sure that transvestite

0:04:43 > 0:04:44hermaphrodites do represent

0:04:44 > 0:04:45absolutely nothing, I think they

0:04:45 > 0:04:46represent rather a lot.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48But there you go, he's a novelist,

0:04:48 > 0:04:49not me, so that was his view.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53These are all things done by semicolons. Very well done.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54Psmiths, what would you like?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Water, please.- Water.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58OK, what is the connection between these clues?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Here's the first.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05That's Pam... That's Pamela, isn't it?

0:05:05 > 0:05:06- OK.- Or... - INDISTINCT

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- They might be from different famous things.- Yeah.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- THEY CONFER - Next.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14That is Jessica.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17That's... Women's names?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Ending in A?- It can't be, it can't be that simple, can it?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22It could be all... Yeah, I don't know.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Maybe we ought to go for another clue, then.- Next.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Former capital, Duchy of Lorraine.- That's not helpful.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Erm...

0:05:31 > 0:05:33I bet it's also a woman's name.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- INDISTINCT - Shall we do it?

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Are these all women's names ending in A?

0:05:40 > 0:05:43That is not the right answer, so Verbivores,

0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'm going to show you the last clue

0:05:45 > 0:05:46for a possible bonus point.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Are they all women's names mentioned

0:05:49 > 0:05:51in the song Mambo Number Five?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53VICTORIA LAUGHS

0:05:53 > 0:05:54That is a brilliant guess!

0:05:54 > 0:05:55- But no.- Aw!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Which names do you think you saw?

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Pamela? Is number one Pamela?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Number one is Pamela.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02- Number two is Jessica.- Mm-hm.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Erm... And we don't know number three.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Number three doesn't actually end in A anyway.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Ah.- That would be Nancee, or Nancy.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Diana?- And then the last one is Diana.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Pamela, Jessica, Nancy, Diana?

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Mitfords.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16They are the Mitford sisters.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Yes, we didn't include the clue,

0:06:18 > 0:06:20that which has oneness.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Or Unity.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Where was Unity Mitford conceived?

0:06:24 > 0:06:25THEY LAUGH

0:06:25 > 0:06:28It's lovely. Swastika, Ontario.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31That's right. One of her relatives owned mines there.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34So, no points there, but Verbivores, you may choose your own question.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Lion, please.- Lion. OK. MUSIC TONE

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Well, it's the music question.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41You'll be hearing your clues, I want to know what connects them.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Here's the first.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46# In the wee wee hours

0:06:46 > 0:06:49# Your mind gets hazy... #

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Can't actually recognise it. Next.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53# I can't wait till I hear you say

0:06:53 > 0:06:55# I'm going down, mayday, mayday, I'm going to clam

0:06:55 > 0:06:58# Cos every time that the pigs have got me... #

0:06:58 > 0:06:59Next.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01# My name's Smiley Culture...

0:07:01 > 0:07:03# Where do you think you're coming from?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05# Like from seeing my mother

0:07:05 > 0:07:06# What's the registration number of the car?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08# I can't remember... #

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Next.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11# We never had the love that every child ought to get

0:07:11 > 0:07:14# We ain't no delinquents, we're misunderstood

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- # Deep down inside us there is good! - # There is good!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20# There is good, there is good... #

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Three seconds.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Based on almost nothing at all...names.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27I think your problem is that "names"

0:07:27 > 0:07:29applies to literally every song

0:07:29 > 0:07:30ever written or recorded,

0:07:30 > 0:07:33so I can't accept that as an answer.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Psmiths, your chance for a bonus point now.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38We think the connection is the police.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40The connection is the police.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41What did we hear?

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Going backwards, we had Gee,

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Officer Krupke from West Side Story.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46That's right.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Police Officer by Smiley Culture.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Mm-hm. What else?

0:07:49 > 0:07:54A song expressing distaste for the police by NWA.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56No, it's Ice Cube. Ghetto Bird.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57He's addressing police in a helicopter.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00It wasn't easy to find a bit of that song that was broadcast-able,

0:08:00 > 0:08:02but we found a bit. And what about the first one?

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Don't know.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05That was Bruce Springsteen,

0:08:05 > 0:08:06State Trooper.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08All songs addressed to police officers.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Well done. So you get the bonus there and it's your choice.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Twisted Flax, please.- Twisted Flax.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16What is the connection between these clues?

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Here's the first.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21THEY CONFER

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Next.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29I think it's these previous names of Google or something?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Next.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Brands that have changed their names from this to something a lot more...

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Erm, it's tempting, isn't it? I mean, we need a...

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Shall we have a fourth? Next.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- That was a...- Are they...?

0:08:48 > 0:08:50That was a famous Internet failure, wasn't it?

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Maybe they all are.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55We think these are all, erm,

0:08:55 > 0:08:58much-hyped internet companies that failed.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02That's absolutely right, they are dot com bubble casualties.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04What did they do? Tell me about those websites.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Boo.com was...

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Gifts?- Clothes and gifts and things?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Yeah, sort of a fashion store, yes,

0:09:11 > 0:09:13with a virtual hostess

0:09:13 > 0:09:14called Miss Boo.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16It was a pet supply company, you might imagine, Pets.com.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18TheGlobe.com

0:09:18 > 0:09:20was an American social network.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Think Tools was a Swiss IT company.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24All much-hyped companies

0:09:24 > 0:09:26that famously crashed.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Verbivores, what would you like?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Horned Viper, please. - The Horned Viper.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32OK. What is the connection between these clues?

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Here's the first.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Flying balloon girl: West Bank.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Is this Banksy graffiti?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Is it?- I think so.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45I think there's a picture of someone, a girl with balloons.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Do you want to go with that? - Yeah.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51These are artworks by Banksy?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Coming in after one clue,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm going to give you five points.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59They are all works by Banksy.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Let's have a look at them.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04You recognised immediately, Tom,

0:10:04 > 0:10:07the Flying Balloon Girl, which is on the West Bank.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Man Hanging From A Window, that's in Bristol,

0:10:09 > 0:10:11it's outside a window ledge,

0:10:11 > 0:10:14the idea is that the chap is just slipping out of the premises.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Think Tank, that's a Blur album cover,

0:10:16 > 0:10:18and If Graffiti Changed Anything...

0:10:18 > 0:10:22is a piece of graffiti or a graffito in Fitzrovia.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I should probably say it's not confirmed that they are by Banksy.

0:10:25 > 0:10:26They are rumoured to be

0:10:26 > 0:10:28by the artist Banksy.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29Very well done.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32That means at the end of Round One that the Psmiths

0:10:32 > 0:10:33have two points,

0:10:33 > 0:10:34the Verbivores have nine.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Sequences now, and Psmiths, you'll be going first again,

0:10:40 > 0:10:42so please choose a sequential hieroglyph.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46OK, I'll be showing you the first in a series of clues,

0:10:46 > 0:10:48what would you expect to come fourth?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Time starts now.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Rivers, Washington.- Um, no. Next.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Longest rivers? The Nile?

0:11:02 > 0:11:04No, no, no.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Potomac: 1, Congo: 2.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Next.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Nile three?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Is this to do with the tributaries, or...

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Or the dates on which their sources were found?

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Amazon...

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Mississippi, the Mississippi.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28BELL

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Mississippi, four.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Not the right answer, I'm afraid, so a bonus chance for you, Verbivores.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Danube, four?- Is the right answer.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39My goodness. And why is that?

0:11:39 > 0:11:43They're the number of capital cities that these rivers go through?

0:11:43 > 0:11:45That is very well calculated.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Which capital cities do these rivers flow through?

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Potomac is Washington, DC.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Congo probably Kinshasa and Brazzaville.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- That's right.- Nile is Khartoum, Cairo and...

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I don't know the other one.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Juba in South Sudan.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04And what about the Danube? That is the only river to go through four

0:12:04 > 0:12:06capital cities. Do you know what they are?

0:12:06 > 0:12:07- Budapest.- Of course.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Vienna. Bucharest.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Bratislava and Belgrade in Serbia.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15It is increasing numbers of capital cities on rivers,

0:12:15 > 0:12:17and the right one is Danube, well done.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19So you get a bonus and a choice.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Twisted Flax, please.- Twisted Flax.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23OK. What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Here's the first.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29What was he in 2005-2010?

0:12:29 > 0:12:30Shadow Chancellor?

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yes, it could have been McDonnell 2015...

0:12:34 > 0:12:36He's Corbyn's...

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Is that going to be right?

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Don't go rash.- Shall we go next?

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Next.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- I think you've got it.- Yeah...

0:12:46 > 0:12:47- So. McDonnell...- 2015.

0:12:47 > 0:12:482015 to present.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50BELL

0:12:50 > 0:12:52McDonnell, 2015 to present.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Not the answer, I'm afraid,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57so I'm going to show the third in the sequence to the Psmiths

0:12:57 > 0:12:58for a possible bonus point.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03I can't give you long.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07No, that's too long, I'm afraid.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Now, you are right, these are successive Shadow Chancellors,

0:13:10 > 0:13:12but you forgot Alan Johnson,

0:13:12 > 0:13:14then, of course, Ed Balls was

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Shadow Chancellor 2011-2015.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19How could you forget Alan Johnson?

0:13:19 > 0:13:21One of the greatest politicians of our time.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Have you read his book?

0:13:23 > 0:13:24My father-in-law has.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Well, that's...

0:13:25 > 0:13:28My father-in-law's done a lot of

0:13:28 > 0:13:29things I haven't.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30Nobody read his book?

0:13:30 > 0:13:31It's a wonderful book.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Yes, successive Shadow Chancellors,

0:13:33 > 0:13:36and the one we were looking for was Ed Balls.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38No bonus, then, Psmiths, but what would you like?

0:13:38 > 0:13:39- Water, please.- Water.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43OK, what would come fourth in this picture sequence?

0:13:43 > 0:13:44Here's the first.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Is it some...

0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's the letter A.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51It could be variants on the letter A until it

0:13:51 > 0:13:54becomes...starts out as an ox and turns into letter A.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Shall we try one? - We should definitely.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Next.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01Yeah, I think these are building towards a capital A.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02We need some points.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03BELL

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Is it simply a capital A?

0:14:06 > 0:14:09It is simply a capital A,

0:14:09 > 0:14:11very well done.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Talk me through these clues.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17I believe the A starts out as a stylised picture of an ox.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18It's a Sinai ox, it's an Egyptian

0:14:18 > 0:14:20hieroglyph, really, isn't it?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22That's the ox, representing A.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Then what?

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Then things that look gradually less like an ox

0:14:26 > 0:14:27and more like a capital A.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's a Phoenician aleph

0:14:30 > 0:14:31in the second clue,

0:14:31 > 0:14:35then the old Greek alpha, getting towards the Roman A.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Verbivores, what would you like?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Horned Viper, please. - The Horned Viper.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41OK, what will come fourth in this sequence?

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Here's the first.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Britain A, Germany A.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Let's see the next one.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Next.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Oh, right, yeah, they're different in Germany, aren't they?

0:14:54 > 0:14:55So, in Britain it's...

0:14:55 > 0:14:57It's going to be a D...

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- It's not the national anthem, is it? - No, no, no,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02it's the scales, in Germany they use an H somewhere.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04If this is going to be C?

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- No, the fourth.- Yeah, so A, B flat, B, C...

0:15:08 > 0:15:10But what's it going to be in Germany?

0:15:10 > 0:15:14A, B, H, C, is it?

0:15:14 > 0:15:16I think, I think they, I think it's H.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18I don't know.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Or, C, D?

0:15:21 > 0:15:22BELL

0:15:22 > 0:15:24A British flag with a letter C,

0:15:24 > 0:15:28and a German flag with the letter...

0:15:30 > 0:15:31C?

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Is the right answer.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37A Union flag with a C, a German flag with a C.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39That is right. And what is the sequence?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41They're the musical notes.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43In Germany, they do it differently,

0:15:43 > 0:15:46they have an H where you'd least expect one.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49We couldn't quite remember where it was, but luckily we guessed right.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51That's absolutely right, the British

0:15:51 > 0:15:52system is perfectly logical,

0:15:52 > 0:15:54the notes go A-G with flats,

0:15:54 > 0:15:55except C and F don't have flats,

0:15:55 > 0:15:57but that just stands to reason.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Whereas in Germany, they don't have a B flat,

0:16:00 > 0:16:02and because they're then missing a note,

0:16:02 > 0:16:03they shove in a quick H

0:16:03 > 0:16:05on their way to C.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08But we arrive at C and C in both musical scales.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well guessed. Back to you, Psmiths,

0:16:11 > 0:16:13- for a choice.- Eye of Horus, please.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Eye of Horus, OK.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:16:17 > 0:16:18Here's the first.

0:16:21 > 0:16:22Next.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30- This is going to be about writing, I think.- Yeah.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Next.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Border?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Is it headlines, bits of newspapers?

0:16:36 > 0:16:38It's got to have an order.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Content, padding, border...

0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Headline?- Is it, is it like

0:16:45 > 0:16:46how you make a mattress,

0:16:46 > 0:16:48or a pillow or something?

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Or parcel?

0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Envelope?- Pillowcase? No.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56BELL

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Envelope?

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Not the right answer, I'm afraid.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03So, Verbivores, what do you think?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Margin.- Is the right answer.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06And why is that?

0:17:06 > 0:17:07They're coming from

0:17:07 > 0:17:10the innards of a page going out,

0:17:10 > 0:17:12what the layout...

0:17:12 > 0:17:16The bits you call the layout, and the margin is on the sides.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18I've explained that brilliantly - again!

0:17:18 > 0:17:20What sort of page?

0:17:20 > 0:17:22A page of text,

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- a newspaper page?- A web page.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26It's elements for HTML.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29They are layers of HTML elements on web pages.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31The questioner had to explain this

0:17:31 > 0:17:33to me, I was so bored he had to explain it about seven times

0:17:33 > 0:17:34and I slept through all of them.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35But as I understand it,

0:17:35 > 0:17:39you get content in the middle of a page, then the padding, then border,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42then right on the outside is margin.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43That completes the page.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45So, well guessed again.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47And you're going to get the last

0:17:47 > 0:17:48question of the round, the Lion.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:17:50 > 0:17:51Here's the first.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Next.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01- Five...- It is a comma, but...

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Fibonacci sequence.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05- It is a comma.- Shall we go next?

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Is it between... No, no...

0:18:08 > 0:18:09Next.

0:18:12 > 0:18:13- Primes.- It's going to be

0:18:13 > 0:18:16the next four primes, which is...

0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Next four primes.- 17, 19, 23 and 29.

0:18:18 > 0:18:1929.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21BELL

0:18:21 > 0:18:28Four, brackets, 17, 19, 23, 29.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31I'm afraid you didn't close the brackets,

0:18:31 > 0:18:33so I can't give it to you...

0:18:33 > 0:18:34That is the right answer.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36They are bunches of prime numbers.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38The first is two, the next two are

0:18:38 > 0:18:39three and five, the next three,

0:18:39 > 0:18:41seven, 11, 13, and the next four

0:18:41 > 0:18:4317, 19, 23, 29.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Very well done.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Well, that means at the end of Round Two

0:18:48 > 0:18:49the Psmiths have five points,

0:18:49 > 0:18:51the Verbivores have 16.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Time now for the Connecting Wall,

0:18:56 > 0:18:57and Verbivores, you'll be going first.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Would you like Lion or Water?

0:19:00 > 0:19:01- Water, please.- OK.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Two-and-a-half minutes to solve the Water wall, starting now.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Sexy MF?

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Oh, things on a...

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Tomato...

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Yeah, they've got things...

0:19:15 > 0:19:16Yeah, we've got things on a,

0:19:16 > 0:19:17on a gambling machine.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Cherry, 7, Bell, Plum.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20BUZZ

0:19:20 > 0:19:22And Grape and Bar.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23Oh, well!

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Shall we... If you spot anything else.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28What were you...

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Beefsteak tomato, Cherry tomato, Plum tomato...- Grape.

0:19:32 > 0:19:33Oh, well done.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Go for the...- Seven, Bell, Bar...

0:19:39 > 0:19:41- A clock? - BUZZ

0:19:41 > 0:19:43They're things, symbols on fruit machines.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44Shot?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46BUZZ

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Yeah, well, I'll just try all of these, then.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50BUZZ

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Stop me if you see anything else.

0:19:52 > 0:19:53I'm going to find out it's none of them.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56BUZZ

0:19:56 > 0:19:58I've seen Sexy MF on a fruit machine!

0:19:58 > 0:19:59BUZZ

0:19:59 > 0:20:01BUZZ

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Right, well, that was a waste of time!

0:20:04 > 0:20:09Sexy MF? Is it like a... I don't know.

0:20:11 > 0:20:12Are some of these drinks?

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Is it Kiss FM? Kiss FM, 7...

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Sexy MF.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Late, Tonic....

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Can you have a late drink?

0:20:21 > 0:20:22Yes, I suppose.

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Shot, um...

0:20:27 > 0:20:28What about towers?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Clock Tower, yeah, I think you're right.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Bell tower, Cooling tower, Clock Tower...

0:20:34 > 0:20:35- Bar?- Bar tower?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37BUZZ Got a minute left.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Sexy MF, I'm going to keep pressing Sexy MF for ever.- Shot.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Shot tower. Well, there we are.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Right, is Tope a colour?

0:20:43 > 0:20:45It's not spelled like that, but cream's a colour.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Yeah, cream...

0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Tonic water...- Tonic.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Cream, you can have in a drink, can't you?

0:20:52 > 0:20:54We have to say something, guess something.

0:20:56 > 0:20:5830 seconds.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

0:21:04 > 0:21:06The others aren't going to be...

0:21:06 > 0:21:07Shall we just try something?

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Let's try something.

0:21:09 > 0:21:10Kiss, I'm guessing radio stations.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Late FM, perhaps.- Tonic.

0:21:12 > 0:21:13BUZZ

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Let's try seven. Seven.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17- BUZZ - No, one more guess.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Ten seconds.- Ten seconds.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23You, you, you and you.

0:21:25 > 0:21:26Not it, I'm afraid.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29And that's it, your three lives are up and the wall has frozen.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30But you found two groups.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31What about the connections?

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Tell me about the first blue group, starting Cherry.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35They are types of tomato.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Cherry tomato, Plum tomato, Beefsteak tomato, and Grape tomato.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42And the second green group, starting Cooling.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Tower.- Cooling tower, Bell tower, Clock tower, Shot tower.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48It is correct. And you can still get points for the connections in the

0:21:48 > 0:21:50groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54There we go, tell me about the pink group, starting Late.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Are they to do with drinks?

0:22:01 > 0:22:03No, you're not seeing it. Iso.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07Isolate, isotope, isobar, isotonic.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09That's what you put before all of those.

0:22:09 > 0:22:10And the turquoise group.

0:22:10 > 0:22:137, Cream, Kiss, Sexy MF.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Are these radio stations?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Really? None of you?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Not one of you?

0:22:19 > 0:22:22They are songs, all by Prince.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25And, as you suspected, there was a complete false group in there,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28the fruit machines. The next wall has a whole false group as well,

0:22:28 > 0:22:31I'm looking forward to them heading down that blind alley.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33But you did find two groups and give me two connections,

0:22:33 > 0:22:35that is a total of four.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Let's bring in the Psmiths now, give them the other Connecting Wall,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40and see what happens to them.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Welcome back, Psmiths, you will be getting the Lion wall,

0:22:43 > 0:22:44and two-and-a-half minutes to solve it.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Starting now.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Publishers.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Publishers. Bloomsbury,

0:22:53 > 0:22:54Penguin, Puffin.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Swann with double N.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Cricketer?- Is it a cricketer or character from Proust?

0:23:19 > 0:23:20Erm...

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Turner, we've got prizes, are any of the others prizes?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Is there a Bloomsbury prize? - I think there is.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Maybe Pegasus.

0:23:31 > 0:23:32BUZZ

0:23:32 > 0:23:33OK.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42BUZZ

0:23:45 > 0:23:47BUZZ

0:23:47 > 0:23:49No, no, OK. I'll just keep going

0:23:49 > 0:23:50through publishers while

0:23:50 > 0:23:52we try and...

0:23:53 > 0:23:54BUZZ

0:23:54 > 0:23:55Mighty Sparrow.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Comic. Are there comics in here?

0:24:05 > 0:24:07What else could Snoopy be?

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh, types of road crossing.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13Puffin, Toucan, Zebra...

0:28:09 > 0:28:13that's very different. One is a drama of life, love,

0:28:13 > 0:28:15rivalry and shimmering sexual tension -

0:28:15 > 0:28:18I genuinely don't know if I'm going to reverse this comparison or not -
