Every year at festival time, I go up to Scotland to visit Auld Reekie.

0:00:230:00:28

I do wish Grandad would move closer to where I live.

0:00:280:00:31

But I really enjoy the quirkiness

0:00:310:00:33

and the son et lumiere of the Edinburgh Fringe.

0:00:330:00:36

What can I tell you? I just love oddness and spectacles.

0:00:360:00:40

Let's meet the teams.

0:00:400:00:42

On my right, Andy Davis,

0:00:420:00:44

a civil servant with a degree in law,

0:00:440:00:47

who recently sculpted a nude and greatly enjoyed it.

0:00:470:00:51

Tony Moore, a software developer and maths graduate

0:00:510:00:54

who was the first member of the British public

0:00:540:00:56

to sit in the EU President's office.

0:00:560:00:58

And their captain, Jonathan Elliott,

0:00:580:01:00

a maths graduate who plays the bassoon,

0:01:000:01:03

the cello, the harmonica, the piano and the tin whistle.

0:01:030:01:06

United by a craving for curry,

0:01:060:01:07

they are the Fire-Eaters.

0:01:070:01:09

Welcome to Only Connect.

0:01:090:01:10

How have you been preparing for your opening heat?

0:01:100:01:13

We thought we could only live up to our name by going out for

0:01:130:01:15

a curry last night, so that's what we did.

0:01:150:01:17

Your spicy opponents tonight are, on my left, Ciara Kennedy,

0:01:170:01:22

a media graduate with a passion for 1980s Italian disco.

0:01:220:01:26

Aaron Boardley, who, as a schoolboy,

0:01:260:01:29

had his maths textbook defaced by Gene Simmons from Kiss.

0:01:290:01:33

And their captain, Paddy Duffy,

0:01:330:01:36

an author and former youth worker

0:01:360:01:38

who once invited an Irish cabinet minister to the cinema by accident.

0:01:380:01:42

United by a soft spot for song contests,

0:01:420:01:44

they are the Eurovisionaries.

0:01:440:01:47

How does your team celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest?

0:01:470:01:49

Do you do weird food?

0:01:490:01:51

We do weird food, we do weird dress as well, so, for instance,

0:01:510:01:54

I've been chosen to go as Luxembourg this year.

0:01:540:01:57

And I don't know how that's going to go, actually.

0:01:570:01:59

Because I don't have any white clothes.

0:01:590:02:01

If you get to the final, you will have to come as Luxembourg.

0:02:010:02:04

If we get to the final, I'll come as the whole of the EU!

0:02:040:02:06

We're going to start by playing Round One,

0:02:060:02:09

what is the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:02:090:02:12

The Eurovisionaries won the toss, so you'll be going first.

0:02:120:02:14

Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:02:140:02:17

Eye Of Horus, please, Victoria.

0:02:170:02:18

Eye Of Horus. JINGLE

0:02:180:02:20

Egypt, sadly, not in the Eurovision Song Contest.

0:02:200:02:22

Although, was that the jingle of music I heard?

0:02:220:02:26

It was. Could it be Egyptian music?

0:02:260:02:28

Let's find out.

0:02:280:02:29

You'll be hearing your clues.

0:02:290:02:30

What connects them?

0:02:300:02:32

First one coming in now...

0:02:320:02:34

FEMALE CLASSICAL SINGER

0:02:340:02:36

Next, please.

0:02:430:02:44

# Pardon me, but I gotta run... #

0:02:440:02:51

Frank Sinatra, anyway.

0:02:510:02:52

Um...

0:02:520:02:53

# The fact's uncommonly clear... #

0:02:530:02:58

Next, please.

0:02:580:03:00

CHORAL SINGING: # Glo-oria... #

0:03:000:03:03

It's... Gloria In Excelsis.

0:03:030:03:04

# ..in excelsis deo... #

0:03:040:03:08

Next, please.

0:03:080:03:09

# Your kiss... #

0:03:090:03:10

Oh... BUZZER CHIMES

0:03:100:03:12

Heaven.

0:03:120:03:14

Tell me something else.

0:03:140:03:16

Angels. I'll take angels or heaven.

0:03:160:03:18

I mean, there's angels

0:03:180:03:19

in all of them,

0:03:190:03:20

which some people might say is a heavenly thing,

0:03:200:03:22

but the word is angels.

0:03:220:03:24

What did we hear? So, we heard Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel,

0:03:240:03:27

was the last one.

0:03:270:03:29

"Hosanna in the highest" is what I call it.

0:03:290:03:31

Angels From The Realms Of Glory.

0:03:310:03:34

The King's College Choir.

0:03:340:03:35

I'm not sure... I know it was Frank Sinatra, but it was...

0:03:350:03:39

Angel Eyes.

0:03:390:03:41

The Angel's Farewell from Elgar's Dream Of Gerontius.

0:03:410:03:43

Let's be honest, you only recognised the Eurovision-style disco one.

0:03:430:03:47

We recognised the disco, yes. We found our level.

0:03:470:03:50

Your love of disco led you to heaven,

0:03:500:03:51

angels was the connection.

0:03:510:03:53

You get one point. Fire-Eaters, over

0:03:530:03:55

to you for a choice. Water, please. Water.

0:03:550:03:57

OK, what is the connection between these clues?

0:03:570:03:59

Here's the first.

0:03:590:04:01

OK...

0:04:030:04:05

THEY CONFER

0:04:050:04:06

Next, please.

0:04:110:04:12

Locations of something famous.

0:04:150:04:16

Yes, but...

0:04:160:04:18

I don't know what.

0:04:180:04:20

THEY CONFER

0:04:200:04:21

Next, please.

0:04:230:04:24

Tower.

0:04:250:04:26

There's a tower. Yes, Tokyo Tower.

0:04:260:04:28

Should we go for that?

0:04:280:04:29

BUZZER CHIMES

0:04:290:04:31

These are the locations of famous towers, we think.

0:04:310:04:35

Maybe I'll ask you to tell me something else.

0:04:350:04:37

Towers that look like the Eiffel Tower.

0:04:370:04:39

Well, exactly, I'll accept towers,

0:04:390:04:41

but famous towers that look like the Eiffel Tower,

0:04:410:04:43

particularly the fourth clue, which you didn't need to see.

0:04:430:04:46

The Eiffel Tower?

0:04:460:04:47

That one really looks like the Eiffel Tower.

0:04:470:04:50

What are the other ones?

0:04:500:04:51

The first is the Tokyo Tower, wherever it is in Tokyo.

0:04:510:04:54

And I don't know the second one.

0:04:540:04:56

The second one is the copy at the casino.

0:04:560:04:58

Oh, of course. Caesar's Palace,

0:04:580:04:59

or somewhere like that.

0:04:590:05:00

No, it's the Paris. The Paris Hotel. In Las Vegas.

0:05:000:05:04

All towers, particularly towers inspired by the Eiffel Tower,

0:05:040:05:08

including the Eiffel Tower itself. Well done.

0:05:080:05:11

Eurovisionaries, what would you like?

0:05:110:05:13

Twisted Flax, please. The Twisted Flax.

0:05:130:05:15

These are going to be picture clues.

0:05:150:05:17

What links them?

0:05:170:05:18

Here's the first.

0:05:180:05:19

Next, please.

0:05:250:05:26

That's John Bull.

0:05:270:05:29

They're going to be...

0:05:310:05:32

Next, please.

0:05:340:05:36

What is that? Is that shoes? Cobblers.

0:05:360:05:38

Bull...

0:05:420:05:44

Next, please.

0:05:440:05:45

That the flag of...the Dutch flag.

0:05:450:05:48

Two Dutch... Double Dutch.

0:05:480:05:50

Double Dutch, John Bull...

0:05:500:05:53

Three seconds.

0:05:560:05:57

BUZZER CHIMES

0:05:570:05:58

Double....

0:06:000:06:02

It's cobblers and double Dutch,

0:06:020:06:03

it means nonsense.

0:06:030:06:04

Oh, nonsense.

0:06:040:06:06

Which incidentally was about what I was just about to make up,

0:06:060:06:08

so it might have been a pertinent answer anyway.

0:06:080:06:11

I will accept nonsense.

0:06:110:06:12

I think you could have got this much earlier

0:06:120:06:14

because you were going, "Bull,

0:06:140:06:16

"cobblers, Bull..."

0:06:160:06:18

And then double Dutch. All gibberish or nonsense.

0:06:180:06:20

Do you know who that is in the first picture?

0:06:200:06:23

I'm trying to think... Even with the answer, I'm struggling.

0:06:230:06:26

No, I don't know.

0:06:260:06:28

You don't know Philip Jibberish?

0:06:280:06:29

It's not Philip Jibberish. It's Peter Tosh.

0:06:290:06:32

He was in the Wailers, Bob Marley And The Wailers, originally.

0:06:320:06:34

The musician Tosh, Bull, cobblers and double Dutch.

0:06:340:06:38

Why does cobblers mean nonsense?

0:06:380:06:40

No idea.

0:06:400:06:41

It's rhyming slang.

0:06:410:06:43

Cobblers' awls.

0:06:430:06:45

I won't say what that rhymes with.

0:06:450:06:47

I mean, this really is not a family show.

0:06:470:06:50

Families would fall apart trying to make each other watch this,

0:06:500:06:53

but I won't spell it out.

0:06:530:06:54

But cobblers' awls is the full rhyming phrase.

0:06:540:06:58

Fire-Eaters, what would you like?

0:06:580:06:59

Lion, please. Lion.

0:06:590:07:01

What is the connection between these clues?

0:07:010:07:03

Here's the first.

0:07:030:07:04

Oh, is this like...

0:07:060:07:08

Seems like a fictional character, probably.

0:07:100:07:12

Next, please.

0:07:140:07:16

Are these myths about Obama or something like that?

0:07:170:07:20

I don't know.

0:07:220:07:23

THEY CONFER

0:07:230:07:25

Next, please.

0:07:250:07:27

BUZZER CHIMES

0:07:270:07:29

These are things which are alleged about Barack Obama.

0:07:300:07:32

That probably aren't true.

0:07:320:07:34

You could have come in earlier as well.

0:07:340:07:37

They are claims made against Barack Obama,

0:07:370:07:39

and the fourth clue would have been, he was born in Kenya.

0:07:390:07:42

But, yes, all sorts of things said about Barack Obama.

0:07:420:07:44

And they were some of them, well done.

0:07:440:07:47

Back to you, Eurovisionaries.

0:07:470:07:49

Horned Viper, please. Horned Viper.

0:07:490:07:50

OK. What's the connection?

0:07:500:07:53

Here's the first clue.

0:07:530:07:54

Next, please.

0:08:010:08:02

We can. Se puede...is it?

0:08:040:08:06

Not seeing much here. Next, please.

0:08:090:08:13

We ourselves. Oh!

0:08:130:08:14

BUZZER CHIMES

0:08:140:08:15

They're the names of political parties

0:08:150:08:18

in the respective countries.

0:08:180:08:19

Yes, they are.

0:08:190:08:21

You did not need the last one,

0:08:210:08:22

Party of Wales, Plaid Cymru.

0:08:220:08:24

These are names of political parties translated.

0:08:240:08:26

Can you tell me them in their original languages?

0:08:260:08:30

Yes, so "We ourselves" is Sinn Fein...

0:08:300:08:32

That's right.

0:08:320:08:33

People often say it's ourselves alone, don't they?

0:08:330:08:36

But that's not right.

0:08:360:08:37

That's not right. Do you speak any Gaelic?

0:08:370:08:39

HE SPEAKS A GAELIC PHRASE Excellent.

0:08:390:08:41

And the others? "We can" is Podemos?

0:08:410:08:44

That's right. And "From the roots" must be Syriza.

0:08:440:08:47

That's absolutely right.

0:08:470:08:49

"Radical coalition of the left" -

0:08:490:08:50

it's an acronym for that as well.

0:08:500:08:51

So that is it. Names of political parties translated into English.

0:08:510:08:54

Well done.

0:08:540:08:56

Fire-Eaters, what would you like?

0:08:560:08:57

I guess we'll go for the Two Reeds.

0:08:570:08:59

It's just as well because that's the only one you can have.

0:08:590:09:02

The Two Reeds. What is the connection between these clues?

0:09:020:09:04

Here's the first.

0:09:040:09:06

OK, I don't have a clue.

0:09:070:09:08

Is this film? I don't know.

0:09:100:09:12

Next, please.

0:09:120:09:13

I've seen that film but I don't remember it much.

0:09:180:09:20

THEY CONFER

0:09:200:09:21

I think we should take another. Next, please.

0:09:240:09:27

OK, these are things that... Time.

0:09:270:09:30

Yeah, that's right.

0:09:300:09:31

BUZZER CHIMES

0:09:310:09:33

These are ways of

0:09:330:09:35

turning back time, we think,

0:09:350:09:37

particularly in fictional contexts.

0:09:370:09:39

They are means of achieving time travel in those films.

0:09:390:09:42

You didn't need the last clue, the flux capacitor

0:09:420:09:45

from Back To The Future.

0:09:450:09:46

My favourite. How does the flux capacitor work?

0:09:460:09:48

By getting to 88mph.

0:09:480:09:50

That's right. It's a DeLorean, isn't it, that Doc Brown constructs?

0:09:500:09:53

When it gets to 88mph, it travels in time.

0:09:530:09:55

The black hole in Star Trek,

0:09:550:09:57

I have no idea how that works,

0:09:570:09:59

but let's not pause to discuss it.

0:09:590:10:01

Donnie Darko, who remembers that?

0:10:010:10:03

Why does he go into the wormhole?

0:10:030:10:05

Why does he do that? Because there's a jumbo jet going to crash?

0:10:050:10:08

He's sacrificing himself, isn't he,

0:10:080:10:10

to prevent bad things happening in the future.

0:10:100:10:13

Superman flies around the Earth.

0:10:130:10:14

All means for achieving time travel in films, well done.

0:10:140:10:17

That means, at the end of Round One,

0:10:170:10:20

Eurovisionaries have 4 points,

0:10:200:10:22

the Fire-Eaters have 6.

0:10:220:10:23

On to Round Two, the sequences round.

0:10:260:10:28

What comes fourth is what I will be asking the teams.

0:10:280:10:30

And I'll be asking them that... immediately.

0:10:300:10:32

Eurovisionaries, which question would you like?

0:10:320:10:35

Lion, please.

0:10:350:10:36

Lion. What will be fourth in this sequence?

0:10:360:10:39

Here's the first.

0:10:390:10:40

Johnny Briggs.

0:10:400:10:42

Johnny Briggs is Mike Baldwin,

0:10:420:10:46

Coronation Street.

0:10:460:10:47

THEY CONFER

0:10:490:10:50

Next, please.

0:10:520:10:53

200, Alec Bedser.

0:10:540:10:56

Who's Alec Bedser? I don't know who he is. No idea.

0:10:580:11:01

Next, please.

0:11:010:11:03

Fred Trueman. That's a cricketer, isn't it?

0:11:030:11:06

There might be more than one Johnny Briggs.

0:11:060:11:09

Yes. Let's think about a cricketer that's relatively...

0:11:090:11:13

Ian Botham, say?

0:11:150:11:16

Yeah, why not?

0:11:160:11:18

400, Ian Botham.

0:11:180:11:20

That's not the answer. Fire-Eaters,

0:11:200:11:23

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

0:11:230:11:25

I'm going to say 400: Richard Hadley.

0:11:250:11:27

That's not it. What do you think the sequence is?

0:11:270:11:30

The first person to that many wickets.

0:11:300:11:32

Yes, it is bowling milestones, but 400, it's James Anderson.

0:11:320:11:35

The Burnley Lara.

0:11:350:11:36

I remember that happening...

0:11:360:11:38

Why is it I get the feeling that cricket

0:11:380:11:40

is not your strong point?

0:11:400:11:41

Not a thing.

0:11:410:11:43

I was hoping it was Coronation Street

0:11:430:11:45

when I saw the first one come up.

0:11:450:11:47

We thought that, too.

0:11:470:11:48

Thought we were having a Mike Baldwin question.

0:11:480:11:50

What did Fred Trueman say when he was asked

0:11:500:11:52

if anyone would ever beat his record?

0:11:520:11:54

"No."

0:11:540:11:55

I don't know.

0:11:550:11:57

He said, "Aye, but they'll be bloody tired."

0:11:570:12:00

James Anderson got the 400

0:12:000:12:01

Test match wickets in 2015.

0:12:010:12:04

So, nobody gets a bonus point, but you may have your own question,

0:12:040:12:08

Fire-Eaters. Which is it to be?

0:12:080:12:09

We'll have the Twisted Flax, please.

0:12:090:12:12

The Twisted Flax. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:12:120:12:15

Here's the first.

0:12:150:12:16

THEY CONFER

0:12:180:12:19

Possibly, but it could be lots of things.

0:12:210:12:24

Next, please.

0:12:250:12:27

Cat.

0:12:270:12:28

Oh, dear.

0:12:300:12:31

It's not to do with... I can't see this at all.

0:12:310:12:35

Next, please.

0:12:370:12:38

Oh, GMT, time zones.

0:12:400:12:42

Oh, yes, well done.

0:12:420:12:43

Happy with that?

0:12:430:12:45

BUZZER CHIMES

0:12:450:12:46

0: GMT.

0:12:470:12:50

I'll take that answer.

0:12:500:12:51

We actually had 0: UTC.

0:12:510:12:53

Fair enough. But GMT is correct.

0:12:530:12:56

What are we looking at?

0:12:560:12:57

Central European Time,

0:12:570:12:59

Central African Time

0:12:590:13:00

and Eastern African Time.

0:13:000:13:02

That's absolutely right.

0:13:020:13:03

And what does UTC stand for? Universal Time something.

0:13:030:13:06

Clock. No, can't be clock, doesn't make sense.

0:13:060:13:08

No, it doesn't stand for anything at all!

0:13:080:13:10

That was a weird compromise.

0:13:100:13:12

English speakers wanted

0:13:120:13:13

CUT, Coordinated Universal Time,

0:13:130:13:15

and French speakers wanted Temps Universel Coordonne.

0:13:150:13:19

So they agreed to have neither,

0:13:190:13:21

and they have the same letters but in a completely different order.

0:13:210:13:24

So it's the same as GMT.

0:13:240:13:26

So, time zones, that's absolutely right, and nought, where we are,

0:13:260:13:29

there's no time difference with ourselves.

0:13:290:13:31

UTC or GMT.

0:13:310:13:33

Eurovisionaries, what would you like?

0:13:330:13:35

Eye Of Horus, please. The Eye Of Horus.

0:13:350:13:37

What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:13:370:13:39

Here's the first.

0:13:390:13:40

THEY CONFER

0:13:420:13:44

Next, please.

0:13:490:13:51

Were they married?

0:13:550:13:57

THEY CONFER

0:13:580:14:01

Next, please.

0:14:040:14:06

So maybe it's going back in time.

0:14:080:14:10

I mean, the only one...

0:14:100:14:12

BUZZER CHIMES

0:14:150:14:16

Marie and Pierre Curie, Chemistry.

0:14:160:14:20

I'm afraid that's not

0:14:200:14:21

the answer, so there's a bonus chance for you,

0:14:210:14:23

Fire-Eaters.

0:14:230:14:25

We'll try Marie and Pierre Curie, Physics.

0:14:260:14:30

That is the right answer.

0:14:300:14:32

What are we looking at?

0:14:340:14:35

I think they are

0:14:350:14:37

married couples who have won Nobel prizes

0:14:370:14:40

at the same time. And in brackets is what they won it in.

0:14:400:14:43

That's absolutely right. And we are going back in time,

0:14:430:14:46

because May-Britt and Moser, it was 2014, in fact, that

0:14:460:14:49

that married couple won. And we are going back in time,

0:14:490:14:52

and Marie and Pierre Curie won jointly for physics.

0:14:520:14:54

These are Nobel prize-winners,

0:14:540:14:56

married couples, unlucky over there.

0:14:560:14:58

Right people,

0:14:580:15:00

wrong discipline - physics is right for a bonus point.

0:15:000:15:03

And you may choose a question.

0:15:030:15:04

We'll have the Water, please.

0:15:040:15:06

The Water question. JINGLE

0:15:060:15:08

Ah! It's a music sequence.

0:15:080:15:10

So you will be hearing the clues, but you won't hear the fourth clue,

0:15:100:15:14

I want you to tell me what it is.

0:15:140:15:16

Your first one is coming in now.

0:15:160:15:17

INSTRUMENTAL DANCE MUSIC

0:15:190:15:21

Is this familiar to anyone?

0:15:210:15:22

Does anyone know this?

0:15:220:15:24

Next, please.

0:15:260:15:28

ORCHESTRAL MUSIC WITH FLUTE

0:15:280:15:30

OK, this is... Faure's Pavane.

0:15:300:15:31

Pavane, yes...

0:15:310:15:33

It was used as the World Cup for France '98.

0:15:330:15:36

'96. No, I think it was '98, France '98, actually.

0:15:360:15:39

So could this be...

0:15:390:15:40

Next, please.

0:15:430:15:44

MUSIC: America from West Side Story

0:15:440:15:46

America, 2002.

0:15:460:15:47

2006...

0:15:470:15:48

2006 was in... Japan, wasn't it?

0:15:480:15:51

No, no.

0:15:510:15:52

No, Germany. No, it wasn't there, sorry. I don't know.

0:15:520:15:54

We've got to say something.

0:15:540:15:56

Three seconds.

0:15:560:15:57

BUZZER CHIMES

0:15:570:15:58

Um... I think German.

0:16:000:16:01

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

0:16:030:16:05

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:16:050:16:06

So, Eurovisionaries, you have a chance of a bonus point now.

0:16:060:16:09

Nessun Dorma. Is the right answer.

0:16:090:16:11

What's the sequence?

0:16:110:16:12

So it's the themes of...

0:16:120:16:14

It's World Cup themes, going from...

0:16:160:16:18

Starting in 2002 and going back to 1990.

0:16:180:16:21

That's absolutely right. Nessun Dorma is the answer.

0:16:210:16:24

Unfortunately we don't have Nessun Dorma to play in,

0:16:240:16:29

but there's no reason why the viewers at home

0:16:290:16:31

wouldn't be reminded how it goes.

0:16:310:16:33

Let's go from "All'alba vincero," you'll remember,

0:16:330:16:36

"Vincero, vincero." Let's go, one, two,

0:16:360:16:38

three.

0:16:380:16:40

# Vincer... #

0:16:400:16:41

Yes, go, I like it.

0:16:410:16:42

# Vince... # Oh, come on!

0:16:420:16:45

I don't know the words.

0:16:450:16:47

To be honest...

0:16:480:16:49

We made a pact not to sing! ..I'm very disappointed, frankly.

0:16:490:16:53

That was an opportunity for a rousing statement of "I will win".

0:16:530:16:57

Yes, Nessun Dorma, Pavarotti,

0:16:570:16:59

was the theme of the 1990 World Cup and is the right answer.

0:16:590:17:02

Plus you may choose a question.

0:17:020:17:04

The Horned Viper, please.

0:17:040:17:06

The Horned Viper, OK.

0:17:060:17:07

What will come forth in this sequence?

0:17:070:17:08

Here's the first.

0:17:080:17:10

Is this a Canadian rapper question?

0:17:140:17:17

Next, please.

0:17:180:17:20

Steinbeck?

0:17:200:17:21

Yeah. Are they...

0:17:210:17:24

Prize-winning novels?

0:17:260:17:28

Next, please.

0:17:290:17:30

Are they Oscar winners?

0:17:320:17:34

How Green Was My Valley wasn't...

0:17:380:17:41

Is it...? Maybe...

0:17:420:17:45

Three seconds. BUZZER CHIMES

0:17:470:17:49

The Philadelphia Story.

0:17:490:17:51

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:17:510:17:54

Fire-Eaters, do you want to have a go for a bonus point?

0:17:540:17:57

Gone With The Wind. We are going to try Gone With The Wind.

0:17:570:18:00

Not it either. What do you think this sequence is?

0:18:000:18:02

It is something about Oscar winners, I think. Yes.

0:18:020:18:05

In order of when they got them...

0:18:050:18:07

Yes, it is Oscar winners

0:18:070:18:08

in order of when they got them.

0:18:080:18:10

But I don't know which one is forth.

0:18:100:18:12

What they have in common is they were all directed by John Ford.

0:18:120:18:16

John Ford's films, and the next one was The Quiet Man.

0:18:160:18:20

Oh, you're joking. Yes, The Quiet Man.

0:18:200:18:22

Lovely romantic comedy set in Ireland with John Wayne.

0:18:220:18:25

Still room for a massive fight sequence.

0:18:250:18:27

I've seen it at least three times a year for most of my life.

0:18:270:18:30

Well, you may never want to see it again. No.

0:18:300:18:33

The Quiet Man was the answer, so no bonus points,

0:18:330:18:35

but, Fire-Eaters, you may choose a question.

0:18:350:18:38

Two Reeds. It's a very good choice,

0:18:380:18:39

I'm pleased you went for that one.

0:18:390:18:41

These are going to be picture clues.

0:18:410:18:43

What would you expect to see in a fourth picture?

0:18:430:18:45

Here's the first.

0:18:450:18:46

OK, the snake. He's called Kaa. From Jungle Book.

0:18:470:18:50

K-a or K-a-a. I don't know...

0:18:500:18:52

I can't think what the sequence is.

0:18:520:18:54

Should we go for the next one?

0:18:540:18:56

Next, please.

0:18:560:18:58

That's the horse from War Horse, presumably.

0:18:580:19:01

Yes.

0:19:010:19:02

Oh, is it Equus or War Horse? I don't know.

0:19:030:19:06

That's Michael Morpurgo. The first one is by Rudyard Kipling.

0:19:070:19:11

Next, please.

0:19:110:19:13

I don't know what that is.

0:19:130:19:15

Goat.

0:19:170:19:18

What's going to come next, I don't know.

0:19:180:19:21

Snake, horse...

0:19:210:19:23

Three seconds.

0:19:230:19:24

BUZZER CHIMES

0:19:240:19:26

What comes after goat?

0:19:260:19:27

Is it rat? I can't give you long.

0:19:270:19:30

A rat? Not the answer,

0:19:300:19:32

I'm afraid, so, Eurovisionaries,

0:19:320:19:34

last chance for a bonus this round.

0:19:340:19:36

Will it be a picture

0:19:360:19:37

of the gorilla doing the In The Air Tonight drumming?

0:19:370:19:41

Unfortunately, no,

0:19:410:19:43

it's a picture of Cuddles the monkey with Keith Harris,

0:19:430:19:45

but I will give you the points,

0:19:450:19:47

and why?

0:19:470:19:48

So, it's Chinese Zodiac years going around, in sequential years,

0:19:480:19:52

so one year is the year of the snake,

0:19:520:19:54

the following is the year of the horse.

0:19:540:19:56

Yes, Chinese years. Snake, horse,

0:19:560:19:59

goat, the next one will be a monkey.

0:19:590:20:00

We went for lovely Cuddles the monkey.

0:20:000:20:03

Could have been a gorilla drumming.

0:20:030:20:04

Technically an ape rather than a monkey, but it is acceptable,

0:20:040:20:07

so you get the bonus point.

0:20:070:20:08

And that means, at the end of Round Two,

0:20:080:20:11

the Eurovisionaries have 6 points,

0:20:110:20:13

the Fire-Eaters have 9.

0:20:130:20:14

It's the Connecting Wall now -

0:20:170:20:18

the 16 jumbled-up clues that must be solved like concept Sudoku.

0:20:180:20:23

You're going first this time, Fire-Eaters,

0:20:230:20:25

so would you like Lion or Water?

0:20:250:20:27

We'll have the Lion wall, please.

0:20:270:20:29

OK, two and a half minutes to solve the Lion wall, starting...

0:20:290:20:33

now.

0:20:330:20:34

OK, Cornucopia. Giant Puffball? I don't... Mushroom, mushroom.

0:20:340:20:38

Yeah. Oyster's a mushroom as well.

0:20:380:20:40

Milkcap's a mushroom. Brilliant, OK.

0:20:400:20:43

We have types of sushi here as well. Western roll, I think...

0:20:430:20:46

Hang on, Western roll's a way of...

0:20:460:20:47

These are ways of doing the high jump.

0:20:470:20:49

Do we have another type of mushroom here?

0:20:490:20:53

Gutshot sounds like it... No, OK. So we've got...

0:20:530:20:55

Flop and Western roll are both ways of doing...

0:20:550:20:58

and belly roll sounds like it probably is.

0:20:580:21:00

Scissors is, too. Shall we try this as ways of doing the high jump?

0:21:000:21:03

OK, something else. The Kicker, could that be one?

0:21:030:21:05

Eastern cut-off is definitely one. Let's try cutting Scissors.

0:21:050:21:08

OK, we'll try cutting the Flop.

0:21:080:21:10

OK, cool.

0:21:100:21:11

So you're on mushrooms here? What's River?

0:21:120:21:14

Under the Gun - that's a poker term.

0:21:140:21:16

Flop is a poker term.

0:21:160:21:17

Yeah. Gutshot is a poker term, and Kicker is a poker term.

0:21:170:21:21

Three strikes and you're out now.

0:21:210:21:23

Right, so think. So...

0:21:230:21:24

Mushrooms. Mark the three mushrooms that we have.

0:21:240:21:26

So we reckon that...

0:21:260:21:28

Did you reckon Horn of Plenty is a mushroom? Oyster.

0:21:280:21:31

Horn of Plenty? No, Milkcap. OK.

0:21:310:21:33

We've got...

0:21:330:21:35

We haven't had a word one yet, have we?

0:21:350:21:37

Bunk and River and Camp. Hmm.

0:21:370:21:39

Bunk bed. Camp bed.

0:21:410:21:43

Riverbed. Apple-pie bed doesn't...

0:21:430:21:45

Oyster bed is a thing, though. So maybe it's that.

0:21:450:21:47

In which case, we're going to have...

0:21:470:21:49

Camp, Oyster, Bunk and River.

0:21:490:21:51

And so what's these ones? These four - Apple-pie, Giant Puffball...

0:21:510:21:54

Let's mark...

0:21:540:21:55

Could that be a mushroom? I think these have got to be mushrooms.

0:21:550:21:58

That's got to be beds. Yes.

0:21:580:22:00

Do we want to go for that?

0:22:000:22:01

We'll give that a try, shall we?

0:22:010:22:03

Yeah, so we reckon it's mushrooms and beds.

0:22:030:22:05

OK, that's not right. So Oyster mushroom.

0:22:050:22:07

Could you have a Milkcap bed?

0:22:070:22:09

Apple-pie bed, maybe? That sounds more plausible than anything else.

0:22:090:22:12

You've solved the wall, very well done.

0:22:120:22:15

And I will give you extra points if you can tell me what connects them.

0:22:150:22:18

Tell me about the first blue group, starting Belly roll.

0:22:180:22:21

These are ways of performing the high jump.

0:22:210:22:23

That's exactly right, methods of doing the high jump.

0:22:230:22:25

And the green group - Flop, Kicker, Under the Gun, Gutshot.

0:22:250:22:29

These are poker terms. Yeah. They are all poker terms.

0:22:290:22:32

What about the pink group, starting Milkcap?

0:22:320:22:34

I'm told they're types of mushroom.

0:22:340:22:37

They are all simply types of mushroom.

0:22:370:22:39

And the last turquoise group, Apple-pie, Camp, Bunk, River.

0:22:390:22:43

We think that if you put...

0:22:430:22:45

You can put the word "bed" after all of them to get concepts,

0:22:450:22:48

which are, some of them, beds.

0:22:480:22:49

You can put "bed" after all of them.

0:22:490:22:51

Yes, the Apple-pie bed is a sort of practical joke,

0:22:510:22:53

where you fold the sheet halfway so you can't get in.

0:22:530:22:55

Oh, I've never heard of that. In old school stories.

0:22:550:22:58

They do it at boarding school,

0:22:580:22:59

so you get into bed but you can't quite get in.

0:22:590:23:01

OK. But you did find all the groups, and that is all the connections,

0:23:010:23:04

so you get the maximum of 10 points.

0:23:040:23:06

Let's bring in the Eurovisionaries now,

0:23:060:23:08

give them a new Connecting Wall

0:23:080:23:09

and see what they can do about solving it.

0:23:090:23:11

It's the Water wall for you.

0:23:110:23:13

Two and a half minutes of clues to solve it, starting now.

0:23:130:23:16

OK, so, Cheney, so we've got some...

0:23:160:23:21

Oh, yeah. We've got Dick Cheney. Goatee beard?

0:23:230:23:25

Goatee beards. We've got some Dicks.

0:23:250:23:28

Emperor. OK, so let's try this.

0:23:280:23:31

Dick Cheney, Dick Advocaat, Dick Van Dyke...

0:23:310:23:35

Dick Francis?

0:23:350:23:37

No. Oh, Dick Turpin. Advocaat, Turpin, Van Dyke.

0:23:370:23:42

Is Humboldt one? That's a penguin. Yeah.

0:23:420:23:45

Chinstrap penguin? Yes, that is a type of...

0:23:460:23:49

And a... Whew. I don't know.

0:23:490:23:52

Adelie penguin?

0:23:520:23:53

No.

0:23:530:23:55

So who do we think are the Dicks? Go through them.

0:23:550:23:57

So Dick Cheney, Dick Turpin, Dick Advocaat, Dick Van Dyke,

0:23:570:24:01

maybe Dick Francis.

0:24:010:24:03

So leave Francis out.

0:24:030:24:05

Leave Van Dyke out.

0:24:060:24:08

There we go.

0:24:080:24:09

You can have a wedding anniversary. You can have a Golden, Diamond...

0:24:100:24:14

Yeah, no.

0:24:140:24:16

I think Adelie is a penguin, is it?

0:24:160:24:18

Maybe, try it. Adelie. Humboldt, Emperor.

0:24:180:24:20

Chinstrap.

0:24:200:24:22

I think we tried that. Balbo penguin?

0:24:220:24:25

Shall we try again, leave out Humboldt?

0:24:250:24:28

Leave out Emperor, cos that's the obvious one.

0:24:280:24:31

No, OK.

0:24:310:24:32

Macaroni.

0:24:320:24:34

Is it other kinds of, um, pasta?

0:24:340:24:37

Shall we do the beards?

0:24:370:24:38

OK, so Chinstrap, Goatee, Macaroni, a twiddly moustache.

0:24:380:24:43

Humboldt sounds like a beard to me. Try that.

0:24:430:24:46

Skaters' beard?

0:24:460:24:50

Skaters' beard, Chinstrap, Goatee and what else did we go for?

0:24:500:24:54

Macaroni.

0:24:540:24:56

I'm looking for a wordy one. What's a Balbo? I don't know.

0:24:560:24:59

30 seconds.

0:24:590:25:01

Skaters' something.

0:25:010:25:02

10 seconds. Looking for words in words.

0:25:060:25:10

No...

0:25:100:25:11

And that's it, your time is up,

0:25:150:25:17

the wall has frozen but you found a group,

0:25:170:25:20

and can you tell me what connects Cheney, Advocaat, Francis, Turpin?

0:25:200:25:24

They're all Dicks.

0:25:240:25:26

They are all Dicks, I can confirm that's correct.

0:25:260:25:29

And you can still get points for the connections

0:25:290:25:31

in the groups you didn't find. So let's resolve the wall.

0:25:310:25:34

There you go.

0:25:340:25:35

Anniversary, Emperor, Skaters', Minute.

0:25:350:25:39

Or Minute.

0:25:390:25:40

Oh, the Skaters' waltz...

0:25:400:25:41

Are they waltzes? They are all waltzes. Yeah.

0:25:410:25:44

Spotted that at the end there.

0:25:440:25:46

Macaroni, Humboldt, Adelie, Chinstrap.

0:25:460:25:48

Types of penguin.

0:25:480:25:50

They are the penguins. That's absolutely right. OK.

0:25:500:25:53

And the last turquoise group, starting French fork.

0:25:530:25:56

Facial hair?

0:25:560:25:57

Yes, more specifically?

0:25:570:25:59

Beards. They're all beards.

0:25:590:26:00

So one point for the group you found and four more for the connections.

0:26:000:26:04

That's a total of five.

0:26:040:26:05

Let's have a look at the scores.

0:26:050:26:07

The Eurovisionaries have 11 points,

0:26:070:26:10

the Fire-Eaters have 19.

0:26:100:26:12

But it could all change here in Round Four,

0:26:140:26:16

where points are won and lost in the missing vowels round.

0:26:160:26:20

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:26:200:26:22

I can tell you that the first group

0:26:220:26:24

are all adjectives involving food.

0:26:240:26:26

Visionaries.

0:26:290:26:30

0:26:420:26:43

0:26:460:26:48

Correct. Next category -

0:26:480:26:50

similes involving black.

0:26:500:26:52

Visionaries.

0:26:550:26:56

The ace of spades. Correct.

0:26:560:26:57

Tricky one here from Twelfth Night.

0:27:050:27:06

As black as Vulcan in the smoke of war.

0:27:060:27:09

Next clue.

0:27:090:27:10

Fire-Eaters.

0:27:110:27:12

Newgate's Knocker. Correct.

0:27:120:27:14

Visionaries.

0:27:170:27:19

Oh... Not it, I'm afraid.

0:27:190:27:21

I must take a point away.

0:27:210:27:22

Fire-Eaters, do you know?

0:27:220:27:23

Darkest night?

0:27:230:27:25

It is, as black as darkest night.

0:27:250:27:27

Next category, cities on the Mississippi.

0:27:270:27:29

Fire-Eaters.

0:27:310:27:32

0:27:410:27:42

Baton Rouge. Yes, it is.

0:27:420:27:43

Fire-Eaters. Saint Paul.

0:27:460:27:47

Are you from the Mississippi?!

0:27:470:27:49

Correct.

0:27:490:27:50

There will not be another category

0:27:530:27:55

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

0:27:550:27:57

And, looking at the final scores, I can tell you that

0:27:570:28:00

the Eurovisionaries finish with 14,

0:28:000:28:03

but the winners, with 26,

0:28:030:28:05

are the Fire-Eaters.

0:28:050:28:07

Very well done, excellent quizzing.

0:28:070:28:09

You are through to the next round.

0:28:090:28:11

Visionaries, you've been a great pleasure to quiz with and you may

0:28:110:28:14

be through in our new system -

0:28:140:28:16

if you are among the highest scoring losers in this block of the quiz,

0:28:160:28:19

we'll be seeing you again, and I hope we do.

0:28:190:28:22

Thanks very much for watching and please join me next time

0:28:220:28:26

for another episode of the show with closing remarks so formulaic

0:28:260:28:29

that if A were B, then C would be D.

0:28:290:28:32

Goodbye.
