Good evening and welcome to Only Connect,

0:00:210:00:23

coming to you, as always, from sparkling downtown Cardiff.

0:00:230:00:27

By the way, when I'm out and about,

0:00:270:00:28

some people tell me they assume Only Connect is made in Wales

0:00:280:00:31

because of some kind of quota system or regional diversity budget.

0:00:310:00:35

And I say, "No! This is a properly Welsh show.

0:00:350:00:38

"It was devised by Welsh people at a Welsh production company.

0:00:380:00:41

"The producer's Welsh, the director's Welsh, the crew is Welsh.

0:00:410:00:44

"Only Connect isn't one of those trendy fly-by-night visiting

0:00:440:00:47

"London bandwagons, it's Welsh to its very soul."

0:00:470:00:50

And then they say, "Why don't they get someone Welsh to present it?"

0:00:500:00:53

And I say...

0:00:530:00:54

"Shut up!"

0:00:560:00:58

Let's meet the teams.

0:00:580:01:00

On my right,

0:01:000:01:01

Taissa Csaky, a classics graduate and dog-lover, who was told by

0:01:010:01:06

a Glastonbury hippy that the Egyptian god of mummification

0:01:060:01:09

was visible in her dog Zephyr's aura.

0:01:090:01:12

Niall Sheekey, a trained bell-ringer,

0:01:120:01:14

who spends every Boxing Day

0:01:140:01:16

jumping into the freezing cold sea.

0:01:160:01:18

And their captain, Michael Jelley,

0:01:180:01:21

a maths graduate and enthusiastic korfball player, who rescued

0:01:210:01:25

the team pom-poms from a burning gymnasium.

0:01:250:01:28

United in their devotion to the Dutch sport of korfball,

0:01:280:01:31

they are the Korfballers.

0:01:310:01:33

Welcome to the semifinal.

0:01:330:01:34

Michael, this means you got further than your brother,

0:01:340:01:37

who played Only Connect and made the quarterfinals.

0:01:370:01:39

How do you feel about that?

0:01:390:01:41

I'm delighted, but of course in life, as in korfball,

0:01:410:01:45

the only success is victory.

0:01:450:01:46

Excellent.

0:01:460:01:48

You are facing tonight, on my left,

0:01:480:01:50

Annette Fenner, a medical journal editor

0:01:500:01:53

who hand-delivers a cake every year

0:01:530:01:55

to the Test Match Special team at Lord's.

0:01:550:01:58

Emily Watnick,

0:01:580:01:59

a retired finance manager,

0:01:590:02:01

whose great-uncle was Albert Einstein's physician.

0:02:010:02:04

And their captain, Amy Godel,

0:02:040:02:07

a former hypnotherapist who enjoys going to museums at night.

0:02:070:02:10

United by their love of air travel and alcohol,

0:02:100:02:13

they are the Cosmopolitans.

0:02:130:02:15

You've won every game you've played so far.

0:02:150:02:17

What is the secret of a successful Only Connect strategy?

0:02:170:02:20

Well, if we knew the secret, we'd be a bit more confident at this point.

0:02:200:02:24

Um, we don't really have one.

0:02:240:02:26

Perhaps you can publish your book afterwards.

0:02:260:02:28

You won the toss, Cosmopolitans, so you'll be going first.

0:02:280:02:31

Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:02:310:02:33

Horned Viper, please.

0:02:330:02:35

First question of the semifinal, the Horned Viper.

0:02:350:02:37

What is the connection between these clues?

0:02:370:02:39

Here's the first.

0:02:390:02:41

THEY CONFER

0:02:420:02:44

Where? What other Canadian word?

0:02:440:02:46

Do we know any?

0:02:460:02:48

-No.

-I don't know.

0:02:480:02:49

-Next.

-Next.

0:02:490:02:51

Attributed to Schumann...

0:02:530:02:55

INDISTINCT SPEECH

0:02:550:02:57

Mistakes?

0:03:000:03:02

-Various kinds of... Next.

-Next.

0:03:020:03:04

Statue of Liberty commemorated...

0:03:040:03:08

Oh, are these some kind of...?

0:03:080:03:11

Next.

0:03:130:03:14

They're some kind of mistakes

0:03:180:03:21

in the Encyclopaedia Britannica?

0:03:210:03:24

Mistakes in the Encyclopaedia Britannica?!

0:03:240:03:27

The slander.

0:03:270:03:28

They are most certainly not.

0:03:280:03:30

Korfballers, do you want to have a go for a bonus point?

0:03:300:03:32

Were they mistakes made in Olympic opening ceremonies?

0:03:320:03:36

They were not.

0:03:360:03:38

These are mistakes on stamps.

0:03:380:03:41

There were some Canadian stamps, which showed the rocks from

0:03:410:03:43

a park, but they identified it as a different park.

0:03:430:03:47

There was a German stamp,

0:03:470:03:48

which was meant to be a tribute to Schumann, and it had a score

0:03:480:03:51

in the background, a Schubert's score.

0:03:510:03:52

The American stamp was meant to have the Statue of Liberty on it

0:03:520:03:55

and they chose the Statue of Liberty from the hotel New York-New York

0:03:550:03:59

in Las Vegas, a big plastic one.

0:03:590:04:00

And the Isle Of Wight, you'll spot there,

0:04:000:04:03

is not written how it's supposed to be.

0:04:030:04:04

No points there, Korfballers, but you may choose a question.

0:04:040:04:08

-The Two Reeds, please.

-Two Reeds.

0:04:080:04:10

MUSICAL TONE The music question,

0:04:100:04:12

something connects the clues you're going to hear.

0:04:120:04:14

What is it? First one coming in now.

0:04:140:04:16

-# John Wayne in Lover's Lane

-Making whoopee with his squaw

0:04:160:04:20

# But his bullet belt starts getting in the way

0:04:200:04:22

-# It's making his life a bore... #

-Erm, move on.

0:04:220:04:24

-# So she says to him... #

-Next, please.

0:04:240:04:26

# Foresight minds wide magic imagery... #

0:04:260:04:30

INSTRUMENTAL

0:04:300:04:32

-Ah...

-Go on.

-Next, please.

0:04:340:04:37

# Don't you...

0:04:370:04:39

# Forget about me

0:04:390:04:42

# Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't you

0:04:430:04:47

# Forget about me... #

0:04:470:04:50

Next, please.

0:04:500:04:52

# Today is going to be the day

0:04:520:04:53

# That they're going to throw it back to you... #

0:04:530:04:55

Two seconds.

0:04:550:04:57

Erm...

0:04:570:04:58

They were all kept off number one

0:04:580:05:02

by a remarkably small number of records.

0:05:020:05:05

They were not all kept off number one

0:05:050:05:08

by a remarkably small series of records.

0:05:080:05:10

So, Cosmopolitans, your chance for a bonus point now.

0:05:100:05:12

Are they all recorded by someone

0:05:120:05:14

who was married to Patsy Kensit?

0:05:140:05:16

Oh, well done.

0:05:160:05:18

They all feature someone

0:05:180:05:19

who was married to Patsy Kensit.

0:05:190:05:21

What did we hear?

0:05:210:05:23

-I didn't recognise the first...

-Well, there was a Simple Minds...

0:05:230:05:26

But we had Simple Minds and Oasis.

0:05:260:05:27

She was married to Jim Kerr and Liam Gallagher.

0:05:270:05:29

The first clue was Haysi Fantayzee, with the vocalist Jeremy Healy.

0:05:290:05:32

And the second one, Big Audio Dynamite -

0:05:320:05:35

-she was married to the keyboardist, Dan Donovan.

-Yes.

0:05:350:05:38

All husbands of Patsy Kensit.

0:05:380:05:40

Excellent lateral thinking, well done.

0:05:400:05:42

-And you may choose your own question.

-Twisted Flax.

0:05:420:05:45

Twisted Flax, OK. What is the connection between these clues?

0:05:450:05:48

Here's the first.

0:05:480:05:49

Belgium equals Z.

0:05:490:05:52

Erm, next.

0:05:550:05:57

THEY CONFER

0:05:570:05:59

I don't know. Next.

0:06:030:06:05

Malta equals...

0:06:070:06:09

Eight...?

0:06:100:06:12

No, they're not, no.

0:06:120:06:14

Could it be something to do with the Eurovision Song Contest?

0:06:140:06:17

No. Next.

0:06:170:06:19

THEY WHISPER

0:06:190:06:21

Three seconds.

0:06:250:06:26

Erm...

0:06:280:06:29

-No.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:06:290:06:31

-Nothing?

-No.

0:06:310:06:32

Korfballers, do you know?

0:06:320:06:34

Is it the letter that each country

0:06:340:06:37

is allotted in the draw for Eurovision

0:06:370:06:39

and the order that Eurovision runs?

0:06:390:06:41

-It is not.

-Oh...

0:06:410:06:43

It is the letter that you might see

0:06:430:06:46

on the serial number

0:06:460:06:48

of this country's euro banknotes.

0:06:480:06:50

Z, for Belgium,

0:06:500:06:51

H for Slovenia, F for Malta.

0:06:510:06:53

All serial codes on euro banknotes.

0:06:530:06:57

Back to you, Korfballers, for a choice.

0:06:570:06:59

-The Lion, please.

-Lion, OK.

0:06:590:07:01

These are going to be picture clues.

0:07:010:07:02

What connects them? Here's the first.

0:07:020:07:04

-Playing cards.

-Solitaire.

0:07:060:07:09

Next, please.

0:07:090:07:10

Oh, is that KerPlunk?

0:07:130:07:15

It's Mikado, or it's called...

0:07:150:07:16

Oh, solitaire is because...

0:07:160:07:18

You play it on your own?

0:07:180:07:19

Gilbert and Sullivan.

0:07:190:07:21

Mikado... Do you think?

0:07:210:07:23

-You said Mikado.

-Yeah, it's Mikado.

0:07:230:07:25

BELL

0:07:250:07:27

Are they...

0:07:270:07:28

Gilbert and Sullivan...

0:07:280:07:30

-Works?

-..operettas?

0:07:300:07:32

They are operettas

0:07:320:07:33

of Gilbert and Sullivan.

0:07:330:07:34

Very well done.

0:07:340:07:35

What are we looking at?

0:07:350:07:37

We are looking at the Mikado.

0:07:370:07:39

-Erm...

-Yeah, that's a Hungarian game.

0:07:390:07:41

The Mikado, also an operetta.

0:07:410:07:42

-Patience.

-Mm-hm.

0:07:420:07:44

Is that a little maid from school by any chance?

0:07:440:07:47

-Well...

-That's a pinafore.

0:07:470:07:48

-A pinafore!

-Yes, that wouldn't be quite the title.

0:07:480:07:50

HMS Pinafore is what that denotes.

0:07:500:07:52

And some gondoliers.

0:07:520:07:53

And The Gondoliers. That is right.

0:07:530:07:55

You only needed to see two clues

0:07:550:07:56

though, so you get three points.

0:07:560:07:57

The pictures denote operettas by Gilbert and Sullivan.

0:07:570:08:00

-Very well done.

-Thank you.

0:08:000:08:01

Game on, Cosmos. What would you like?

0:08:010:08:03

-Water, please.

-Water.

0:08:030:08:05

What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.

0:08:050:08:08

Pudding and cheese. Pfft...

0:08:090:08:12

Erm...

0:08:120:08:14

Next.

0:08:140:08:15

Oh, so it's something pudding and something cheese.

0:08:170:08:20

Santa Maria, Santa Peter?

0:08:200:08:23

Erm... Yorkshire?

0:08:260:08:28

Next.

0:08:280:08:29

Black widow.

0:08:310:08:33

Black pudding.

0:08:330:08:35

-Oh, it's black and...

-Peter...

0:08:350:08:38

And...

0:08:380:08:39

-Shall we see the next one?

-Next.

0:08:390:08:41

BELL

0:08:440:08:46

-Black and blue.

-Black and blue.

0:08:460:08:47

Black and blue is the right answer.

0:08:470:08:49

And I think you could have come in

0:08:490:08:50

-a clue earlier.

-We could, couldn't we? Yes.

0:08:500:08:53

Yes, the first word in each clue

0:08:530:08:55

you can put black before

0:08:550:08:56

and blue before the second one, so black pudding and blue cheese,

0:08:560:08:59

Black Maria and Blue Peter,

0:08:590:09:00

black widow and blue murder,

0:09:000:09:02

Black Ops and blue funk.

0:09:020:09:04

Back to you, Korfballers.

0:09:040:09:05

You'll be getting the Eye of Horus.

0:09:050:09:06

What is the connection between these clues?

0:09:060:09:08

Here's the first.

0:09:080:09:10

THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:09:110:09:14

Er, next, please.

0:09:140:09:15

Bianca was Pasty Palmer...

0:09:180:09:20

She didn't have any children, did she?

0:09:200:09:22

I think she did produce a son.

0:09:220:09:24

Did she?

0:09:240:09:25

Ricky or something? Yeah, next, please.

0:09:250:09:28

Otto?

0:09:280:09:30

-Heard of this one?

-Crossroads?

0:09:300:09:32

Is it possible that none of us knows?

0:09:320:09:35

I don't know...

0:09:350:09:36

Charlene could well have driven the bus.

0:09:360:09:38

Did Bianca? I don't watch soaps.

0:09:380:09:41

-Shall we go for one more?

-Yeah.

0:09:410:09:42

Next, please.

0:09:420:09:44

Wilson from On The Buses?

0:09:440:09:47

Two seconds. BELL

0:09:470:09:49

Did they all drive buses?

0:09:490:09:51

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:09:510:09:52

Cosmopolitans, would you like

0:09:520:09:53

to have a go for a bonus?

0:09:530:09:55

Are they some kind of famous dogs?

0:09:550:09:57

They are not famous dogs.

0:09:570:10:00

So, Wilson, you surely remember,

0:10:000:10:02

is the volleyball that befriends

0:10:020:10:04

-Tom Hanks in Castaway.

-Oh, no.

0:10:040:10:07

They are all inanimate objects

0:10:070:10:09

in cinema.

0:10:090:10:10

Otto is the autopilot in Airplane! - that's a character.

0:10:100:10:13

-Oh, yes.

-Of course!

0:10:130:10:15

Charlene is Private Pyles' rifle

0:10:150:10:17

in Full Metal Jacket.

0:10:170:10:18

And Bianca is from the film

0:10:200:10:21

Lars And The Real Girl. Bianca is...

0:10:210:10:24

Is not the real girl.

0:10:240:10:26

Yes. It's... Let's just say, a doll.

0:10:260:10:28

An anatomically realistic doll

0:10:280:10:31

that Lars befriends.

0:10:310:10:33

Inanimate cinematic characters.

0:10:330:10:36

At the end of Round One,

0:10:360:10:37

the Cosmopolitans have two points.

0:10:370:10:39

The Korfballers have three.

0:10:390:10:41

On to Round Two, the sequences round.

0:10:430:10:45

And, Cosmopolitans, you'll be going first again,

0:10:450:10:47

so what would you like?

0:10:470:10:48

-Horned Viper, please.

-The Horned Viper.

0:10:480:10:50

What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:10:500:10:52

Here's the first.

0:10:520:10:53

Monday (2,4)...

0:10:550:10:57

No. Next.

0:11:000:11:02

Three, four.

0:11:040:11:06

Is it number of letters in a phrase?

0:11:060:11:09

Monday's child is fair of face.

0:11:090:11:11

No, it isn't. Erm...

0:11:130:11:15

Wednesday... Next.

0:11:160:11:18

So, it's going to be Thursday.

0:11:200:11:23

Erm...

0:11:230:11:24

One, two, three, four...

0:11:260:11:28

Two seconds. BELL

0:11:310:11:34

Thursday... Erm...

0:11:340:11:37

Two...

0:11:370:11:39

Six.

0:11:390:11:40

Is the right answer. And why is that?

0:11:400:11:42

The number of vowels and consonants.

0:11:420:11:43

That's what it is.

0:11:430:11:44

There are two vowels in Monday

0:11:440:11:46

and four consonants.

0:11:460:11:47

Three vowels in Tuesday

0:11:470:11:48

and four consonants and so on.

0:11:480:11:50

We're going towards Thursday,

0:11:500:11:51

which has U and A for two vowels

0:11:510:11:53

alongside six consonants.

0:11:530:11:55

Well calculated.

0:11:550:11:56

Korfballers, what would you like?

0:11:560:11:58

The Two Reeds, please.

0:11:580:11:59

Two Reeds, OK.

0:11:590:12:00

What would you expect to come fourth in this sequence?

0:12:000:12:03

Here's the first.

0:12:030:12:04

Next, please.

0:12:100:12:12

Aluminium. Is it alloys or something?

0:12:170:12:19

What's going to be the fourth?

0:12:190:12:22

All I can think is it

0:12:220:12:24

what they make coins with?

0:12:240:12:26

But how are we going to know that?

0:12:260:12:27

I don't know. Next, please.

0:12:270:12:29

-Gold.

-50.

0:12:300:12:33

Oh...

0:12:330:12:35

It would be diamond.

0:12:350:12:36

Is it just carbon? So...

0:12:360:12:38

C.

0:12:380:12:39

-C (60).

-BELL

0:12:390:12:42

Is it C (60)?

0:12:420:12:45

Yes, it is. And why?

0:12:450:12:47

We think they're wedding anniversaries.

0:12:470:12:49

They are wedding anniversaries.

0:12:490:12:50

So, what are we looking at?

0:12:500:12:51

Erm, well...

0:12:510:12:52

That is diamond, a specific form

0:12:520:12:55

of carbon, for the...

0:12:550:12:56

The 60th wedding anniversary is the

0:12:560:12:57

diamond, which is made from carbon.

0:12:570:13:00

Then gold... 40 is ruby?

0:13:000:13:02

And 30, I think, is pearl.

0:13:020:13:04

Yes, so pearl is the

0:13:040:13:05

30th anniversary and that's made

0:13:050:13:07

predominantly from a form of

0:13:070:13:09

calcium carbonate, so CaCO3.

0:13:090:13:11

And ruby, made from...? Do you know?

0:13:110:13:13

Is it aluminium oxide and chromium?

0:13:130:13:15

That's exactly what it is.

0:13:150:13:16

There is a trace of chromium.

0:13:160:13:17

Very well done. Happy anniversary to you.

0:13:170:13:19

-Thanks.

-Well spotted.

0:13:190:13:21

It is wedding anniversaries

0:13:210:13:22

as chemical formulae.

0:13:220:13:24

Cosmopolitans, what would you like?

0:13:240:13:26

-Twisted Flax, please.

-The Twisted Flax.

0:13:260:13:28

What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:13:280:13:31

I: Alpin...

0:13:330:13:35

Next.

0:13:390:13:40

II: Alpin. Is that a name?

0:13:410:13:44

No. Next.

0:13:470:13:49

-Dunkeld?

-I've heard of that.

0:13:500:13:52

What is that?

0:13:520:13:54

Is it...?

0:13:590:14:00

One, two, three, four...

0:14:000:14:03

Successive...

0:14:060:14:08

Two seconds. BELL

0:14:080:14:10

Erm... IV: Alpin.

0:14:100:14:14

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:14:140:14:16

Korfballers, would you like to have a go for a bonus point?

0:14:160:14:19

Four... IV: Aviemore?

0:14:190:14:23

Not it. The answer is, and here's where

0:14:230:14:25

you were unlucky, Cosmopolitans, IV: Dunkeld.

0:14:250:14:27

It was a repeat, but it was Dunkeld.

0:14:270:14:29

This is our producer's

0:14:290:14:30

favourite question of the series.

0:14:300:14:31

It's the Malcolms of Scotland.

0:14:310:14:33

-The Malcolms!

-Oh, no!

0:14:330:14:34

Yes, the Malcolms.

0:14:340:14:36

Malcolm I of Alpin.

0:14:360:14:37

Malcolm II, Alpin.

0:14:370:14:39

Malcolm III, Dunkeld.

0:14:390:14:41

Malcolm IV, Dunkeld.

0:14:410:14:44

Yes, it's a little array

0:14:440:14:45

of Malcolms and the fourth,

0:14:450:14:46

Dunkeld, is what I wanted to hear.

0:14:460:14:48

So no bonus points,

0:14:480:14:50

Korfballers, but I can offer you a choice.

0:14:500:14:52

-The Lion, please.

-Lion.

0:14:520:14:53

What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:14:530:14:55

Here's the first.

0:14:550:14:56

Stuart...

0:15:000:15:02

Next, please.

0:15:040:15:06

Some kind of thing they've been.

0:15:070:15:10

Could it be...?

0:15:150:15:17

Could they both be some kind of mash-up of names?

0:15:170:15:20

Next, please.

0:15:220:15:23

Richard F. Who's Richard F Gordon?

0:15:240:15:27

Two seconds. BELL

0:15:330:15:35

Erm... Is it...

0:15:370:15:38

Otto G...

0:15:390:15:41

Philip?

0:15:410:15:43

-Brackets.

-The world's... Er, (11).

0:15:430:15:45

And why would that be?

0:15:450:15:47

He was Korfball player of the year...

0:15:470:15:49

LAUGHTER

0:15:490:15:51

-No, I'm afraid it's not a Korfball question.

-What a coincidence(!)

0:15:510:15:55

I hope that doesn't give too much away, Cosmopolitans.

0:15:550:15:57

-It is not Korfball.

-It's close though, isn't it?

0:15:570:16:00

We think it might be

0:16:000:16:02

Michael Collins (11).

0:16:020:16:03

It is Michael Collins (11).

0:16:030:16:04

Well done. What's going on here?

0:16:040:16:06

They're the astronauts that either didn't go on the moon

0:16:060:16:10

or were due, in the case of Jack's Swigert,

0:16:100:16:11

-not to go on the moon.

-They were the ones who stayed up in the...

0:16:110:16:14

In the spacecraft while the others went down on the moon.

0:16:140:16:17

That's right. They're the pilots

0:16:170:16:18

of command modules

0:16:180:16:19

on various Apollo missions.

0:16:190:16:21

We're going backwards.

0:16:210:16:22

Apollo 11, of course,

0:16:220:16:23

Neil Armstrong was on the moon,

0:16:230:16:25

Michael Collins, no,

0:16:250:16:26

stayed aboard the craft. Well done.

0:16:260:16:29

And you get your own question.

0:16:290:16:30

-Which is it to be?

-Water, please.

0:16:300:16:31

Water. What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:16:310:16:34

Here's the first.

0:16:340:16:36

-Roman...

-Could be anything. Next.

0:16:360:16:39

Is it films?

0:16:400:16:42

Names of films, maybe?

0:16:420:16:44

No.

0:16:500:16:52

-Should we go for the next?

-Yes.

0:16:520:16:54

Next.

0:16:540:16:56

Classic.

0:16:560:16:58

Oh, is it kinds of...?

0:16:580:17:00

Classic...

0:17:030:17:04

Is it the titles for sort of

0:17:050:17:07

Trivial Pursuit or something?

0:17:070:17:09

-Classic?

-Genius?

0:17:090:17:12

BELL

0:17:120:17:14

-Genus.

-Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:17:140:17:17

So a bonus chance for you now, Korfballers.

0:17:170:17:19

-Arabic?

-That's not it.

0:17:190:17:21

These are Times newspaper typefaces.

0:17:210:17:24

Roman then Millennium, and then

0:17:240:17:26

Classic, and the current one

0:17:260:17:28

at time of recording, Times Modern.

0:17:280:17:31

So no bonus points,

0:17:310:17:32

Korfballers, but I may offer you a question.

0:17:320:17:34

It will be the Eye of Horus.

0:17:340:17:35

I don't know why that keeps being left in the bowl.

0:17:350:17:37

It's a picture question.

0:17:370:17:38

What would you expect to come fourth?

0:17:380:17:40

Here's the first.

0:17:400:17:41

It's The Truman Show and that's...

0:17:430:17:46

Ed someone.

0:17:460:17:47

-Go on.

-Next, please.

0:17:470:17:50

Ed Harris.

0:17:500:17:51

Oh, we should know who he is.

0:17:510:17:54

-Go next.

-Next, please.

0:17:540:17:57

Christ the Redeemer.

0:17:570:17:59

Rio...

0:17:590:18:01

Truman...

0:18:030:18:04

But then what would the fourth be?

0:18:040:18:06

True man? Spectacles...

0:18:070:18:10

Christof is his name in the show.

0:18:100:18:13

Two seconds. BELL

0:18:130:18:16

Christopher Columbus.

0:18:160:18:17

Christopher Columbus?

0:18:170:18:19

For what reason?

0:18:190:18:21

They are people who are known as

0:18:210:18:24

or called Christopher,

0:18:240:18:25

going backwards in time?

0:18:250:18:28

What an enormous sequence

0:18:280:18:30

that would be!

0:18:300:18:31

I'm afraid I can't take it.

0:18:320:18:34

The last bonus chance, Cosmopolitans.

0:18:340:18:37

Anybody?

0:18:370:18:39

No, really, we've nothing.

0:18:390:18:40

You were terribly close, Korfballers.

0:18:400:18:43

Had you said Christopher Columbus

0:18:430:18:45

because he was commonly known

0:18:450:18:46

as Chris,

0:18:460:18:47

I would have given it to you.

0:18:470:18:48

We've got a picture of Chris Tarrant.

0:18:480:18:50

You correctly identified Christof

0:18:500:18:52

from The Truman Show.

0:18:520:18:53

Take the last letter off his name,

0:18:530:18:55

you get Christo from the married art

0:18:550:18:56

duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

0:18:560:18:59

Then Christ and you take

0:18:590:19:00

a letter off Christ, you get Chris.

0:19:000:19:02

Unfortunately, you made it longer.

0:19:020:19:05

Columbus's nickname,

0:19:050:19:06

that's what we needed.

0:19:060:19:08

That means, at the end of Round Two,

0:19:080:19:10

the Korfballers have five points,

0:19:100:19:12

the Cosmopolitans have five points.

0:19:120:19:15

So, we go neck-and-neck to the Connecting Wall and you'll be

0:19:170:19:20

going first this time, Korfballers, so please choose Lion or Water.

0:19:200:19:24

-We'd like the Water Wall, please.

-OK.

0:19:240:19:27

Two and a half minutes to solve the Water Wall starting now.

0:19:270:19:30

Rose, thistle...

0:19:330:19:35

Wren is on a coin and portcullis is on a coin.

0:19:350:19:40

They've built societies or libraries...

0:19:400:19:41

Tudor rose is on a coin.

0:19:410:19:43

Should we go with some of the coin ones so that we don't...?

0:19:430:19:45

-Let's try that.

-Thistle.

0:19:450:19:47

And the wren used to be.

0:19:470:19:49

Is this...? Are there any more of these?

0:19:490:19:51

-Because we should probably stop doing them.

-No.

0:19:510:19:55

-Go...

-Lit and Phil, Beinecke, these are definitely libraries.

0:19:550:19:59

-Wren Library.

-Yes.

0:19:590:20:01

-George Peabody?

-Peabody, yes.

0:20:010:20:04

Great. OK.

0:20:050:20:07

Ships, or...

0:20:070:20:09

-Caledonian, Britannia...

-Thistle Line?

0:20:090:20:12

That is a ferry as well, isn't it?

0:20:120:20:14

Anyone know what the NMR is?

0:20:140:20:16

And what's this, Thiele?

0:20:160:20:18

-Tudor Rose could be a ship.

-Yeah, it could.

0:20:180:20:20

Yeah, try that. And the Thistle.

0:20:200:20:23

BuzzFeed, animal feed.

0:20:260:20:29

-Oh, buzz...

-Test...

0:20:290:20:32

Test match, buzz...

0:20:330:20:34

Portcullis, it's a symbol of government, isn't it?

0:20:340:20:37

A portcullis is the symbol of...

0:20:370:20:39

Thistle, when in Scotland.

0:20:410:20:42

Try the Lion again.

0:20:450:20:46

Maybe it's not the Tudor Rose then.

0:20:480:20:51

-What's a Thiele? Do you actually know what it is?

-No.

0:20:510:20:54

Caledonian, Lion, Thistle...

0:20:540:20:56

-Just going to do it.

-OK, go for it.

0:20:580:21:00

See if we can get anywhere.

0:21:000:21:01

You keep thinking.

0:21:010:21:03

Airlines, airlines. Buzz is an airline?

0:21:030:21:04

Britannia was an airline.

0:21:040:21:06

-It was. Yes, good.

-Go and...

0:21:060:21:09

20 seconds.

0:21:120:21:13

This is obviously guesswork.

0:21:140:21:16

Hotels. Thistle Hotel.

0:21:180:21:20

Caledonian is definitely a hotel.

0:21:200:21:21

-All very similar.

-Ten seconds.

0:21:210:21:23

And that's it. The time has run out and the Wall has frozen.

0:21:310:21:34

But well done for finding a group on that horrible Wall.

0:21:340:21:37

-Thank you.

-Can you tell me the connection?

0:21:370:21:38

Let and Phil, Wren, Beinecke, George Peabody.

0:21:380:21:41

They are libraries.

0:21:410:21:43

All celebrated libraries. And you can still get points

0:21:430:21:45

for the connections of the groups you didn't find,

0:21:450:21:47

so let's resolve the Wall.

0:21:470:21:49

There you go. Portcullis, Tudor Rose, Lion, Britannia.

0:21:490:21:53

They're all found on the reverse of coins.

0:21:530:21:58

They have all historically been found on the reverse of

0:21:580:22:01

British coins.

0:22:010:22:02

And the next group - Test, Thiele, NMR, Thistle.

0:22:020:22:06

-Hotels.

-Hotel chains.

0:22:060:22:09

-No, they're tubes. Laboratory tubes.

-Oh.

0:22:090:22:11

And the turquoise group - Buzz Caledonian, Go, BEA.

0:22:110:22:15

They're all airlines.

0:22:150:22:17

They are at the defunct airlines.

0:22:170:22:19

But you found a group and you told me three connections.

0:22:190:22:21

That is a total of four.

0:22:210:22:22

Let's bring in the Cosmopolitans now and give them the other

0:22:220:22:25

Connecting Wall and see what they can do with it.

0:22:250:22:27

You'll be getting the Lion Wall because the Water's been taken.

0:22:270:22:30

You have two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.

0:22:300:22:33

-Right, Atari...

-N64.

0:22:350:22:38

-They're both games consoles.

-Yes.

0:22:380:22:41

-Dreamcast.

-And... Satrap?

0:22:410:22:44

-Monkey Jump?

-Really?

0:22:440:22:45

-Neo Geo?

-No.

0:22:450:22:48

Try...

0:22:480:22:50

You don't think there is a...

0:22:500:22:52

-No.

-OK.

0:22:520:22:54

-There is the sort of names of...

-Bells.

0:22:540:22:56

Lutine Bell, Great Paul, Liberty Bell and...

0:22:560:22:59

Japanese Peace Bell?

0:22:590:23:01

-No. Kaiser, Doge, Tsar...

-Maharani?

0:23:010:23:06

And Maharani...

0:23:060:23:07

Oh, no, they're ladies.

0:23:070:23:09

Dame and Maharani.

0:23:090:23:10

-Erm...

-Not Satrap?

-No.

0:23:100:23:12

I don't recognise that.

0:23:120:23:14

Satrap is a kind of leader.

0:23:140:23:16

-OK, so then we have Tsar and Doge...

-Nope.

0:23:160:23:19

-Erm...

-Let's try Maharani again.

0:23:190:23:22

-Maharani...

-Satrap, Dame, Kaiser.

0:23:220:23:26

-No.

-No.

0:23:260:23:27

Think of other things, and I'll... I'll try these.

0:23:270:23:30

Japanese Peace, it is a garden?

0:23:300:23:32

I'm sure... Yes, gardens. Yes.

0:23:320:23:34

The one in Hiroshima,

0:23:340:23:36

is that a garden or is it a tower?

0:23:360:23:39

So Japanese Peace Garden...

0:23:390:23:41

Liberty Garden?

0:23:420:23:44

Liberty Garden.

0:23:440:23:45

And... Erm... No.

0:23:450:23:48

I kind of want there to be a Monkey Jump Garden.

0:23:480:23:51

Yes, so do I! So do I.

0:23:510:23:52

Bells though...

0:23:520:23:54

-Erm...

-Liberty.

0:23:540:23:56

-Japanese Peace Bell.

-We did that.

0:23:560:23:58

Liberty doesn't have to be a garden.

0:23:580:24:01

Atari...

0:24:020:24:03

Atari might be another Japanese word for something

0:24:030:24:05

-that's not video games.

-30 seconds.

0:24:050:24:08

Yes, OK. It could be.

0:24:080:24:09

So Atari, Japanese Peace Bell...

0:24:090:24:12

Erm...

0:24:120:24:14

Argh!

0:24:140:24:16

No.

0:24:160:24:17

-OK, so... This is hard.

-This is so hard.

0:24:170:24:20

-Kaiser...

-Lutine?

-Satrap?

0:24:200:24:23

No, we've tried that. Did we try...?

0:24:230:24:25

Atari.

0:24:250:24:27

Kaiser, Tsar?

0:24:270:24:29

Satrap, Kaiser, Doge, Atari?

0:24:290:24:32

No.

0:24:320:24:33

There's just nothing! Nothing.

0:24:330:24:36

And that's it.

0:24:360:24:37

The time has run out and that horrible Wall has frozen.

0:24:370:24:40

-That is a horrible Wall!

-I'm afraid so.

0:24:400:24:42

But you can still get points for the connections

0:24:420:24:44

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

0:24:440:24:47

There you go.

0:24:470:24:49

Atari, Liberty, Monkey Jump, Dame.

0:24:490:24:52

-So, could they be...

-I have no idea.

0:24:530:24:55

..something to do with games?

0:24:550:24:57

-If you don't know, you just don't know.

-Really don't.

0:24:570:24:59

They are from a game - the board game Go.

0:24:590:25:01

-Terms from Go.

-No, we don't know that.

0:25:010:25:04

And the green one -

0:25:040:25:05

Great Paul, Tsar, Japanese Peace, Lutine.

0:25:050:25:09

Yeah, they are bells.

0:25:090:25:10

Yes, Tsar, that's the biggest bell in the world, though it's broken.

0:25:100:25:13

-Is it?

-It's in the Kremlin.

-Oh, wow!

-Yes, yeah.

0:25:130:25:15

Those are the bells.

0:25:150:25:17

Odyssey, Dreamcast, Neo Geo, N64.

0:25:170:25:21

They're games consoles.

0:25:210:25:23

They are games consoles, that's right.

0:25:230:25:25

And the turquoise group - Maharani, Satrap, Doge, Kaiser.

0:25:250:25:28

Well, they're kinds of leaders or governors.

0:25:280:25:31

They are leaders and rulers, that's right.

0:25:310:25:33

So, you didn't find any groups,

0:25:330:25:34

but you did find three connections.

0:25:340:25:35

That is a total of three.

0:25:350:25:37

Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.

0:25:370:25:40

The Cosmopolitans have eight points,

0:25:400:25:43

the Korfballers have nine.

0:25:430:25:45

So relief from both teams as they realise that the scores are

0:25:460:25:49

still very close going into the Missing Vowels Round

0:25:490:25:52

that will decide that place in the final.

0:25:520:25:55

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:25:550:25:57

0:25:570:25:59

0:27:220:27:24

END OF ROUND JINGLE

0:27:250:27:30

No time to tell me that last one, which was a leg to stand on,

0:27:300:27:33

because the bell has gone for the end of the quiz.

0:27:330:27:36

And looking at the final scores, I can tell you

0:27:360:27:39

that after a very close match, the winners and going to the final

0:27:390:27:43

with 15 points are...

0:27:430:27:46

The Cosmopolitans.

0:27:460:27:48

And in second place, with 14 points,

0:27:480:27:51

it's the Korfballers.

0:27:510:27:53

That boogie-woogie one.

0:27:530:27:54

There was barely a matchstick in it.

0:27:540:27:56

Very well done, Cosmopolitans.

0:27:560:27:58

You're in the final.

0:27:580:27:59

Korfballers, thank you so much for playing.

0:27:590:28:01

You've been brilliant, but time to go home.

0:28:010:28:04

And so another show comes to an end.

0:28:050:28:08

An ending so inevitable, it makes the beginning seem almost pointless.

0:28:080:28:12

For what is birth but a precursor of death?

0:28:120:28:15

What is new growth but a foretelling of decay?

0:28:150:28:18

What is a rising sun but a herald of pitch-black, lonely night?

0:28:180:28:23

And next week is the final!

0:28:230:28:24

Goodbye.
