0:00:21 > 0:00:25Good evening. Is there life after death?

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Do our souls go on into heaven?

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Is it possible we pass into a sort of purgatory,

0:00:30 > 0:00:32still leaving a footprint on reality?

0:00:32 > 0:00:36Or when we pass on, is it absolute? Do we cease to be?

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Is there nothing but dust?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41At which point, the man from Natwest Online Banking said that

0:00:41 > 0:00:44the security question could only be a maximum of 18 characters.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46I just went with my first pet's name.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49But there are no restrictions on the complexity of the questions

0:00:49 > 0:00:54we ask here at Only Connect, and God knows no limit to the characters.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Let's meet the teams.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58On my right, Tom West,

0:00:58 > 0:01:01a practising solicitor who once performed a can-can wearing

0:01:01 > 0:01:05only leather hot-pants, a bow tie and fake cobwebs.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hugh Trimble, an English graduate who's been pushed through

0:01:08 > 0:01:10a glass door by his sister.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13The team captain, Gail Trimble,

0:01:13 > 0:01:16a classics lecturer who once lectured Boris Johnson on how

0:01:16 > 0:01:19classical poetry might help him to run London better.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22United by a fascination for board game figurines,

0:01:22 > 0:01:23they are the Meeples.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Now, you won your opening heat against the Tequila Slammers.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28How are you feeling about tonight's game?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Well, we felt a bit put through the wringer by that one,

0:01:30 > 0:01:32so we're hoping tonight will be a bit less stressful.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36You will be facing, on my left...

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Helen Fasham, a keen musician who plays the clarinet, bassoon,

0:01:39 > 0:01:42cello, piano, guitar and recorder.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Phil Small, a pharmaceutical worker with a degree in molecular

0:01:46 > 0:01:48and cellular biochemistry who won a colouring

0:01:48 > 0:01:51competition for his portrait of He-Man.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55And their captain, Ben Fasham, a modern languages graduate who

0:01:55 > 0:01:59has survived car crashes in Morocco, Nigeria and Rwanda.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02United by a taste for Tintin, they're the Belgophiles.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03Now, you beat the Lapsed Physicists.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05What do you think about tonight's opposition?

0:02:05 > 0:02:08We're massively respectful of their quiz credentials,

0:02:08 > 0:02:10but we're hoping to get the wringer out.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Well, you won the toss, you'll be going first.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15I like it, it's two family teams, there's real tension in the studio.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- What hieroglyph would you like first?- Eye of Horus, please.

0:02:19 > 0:02:24What is the connection between these apparently random picture clues?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Here's the first...

0:02:26 > 0:02:28THEY CONFER

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Next.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Bumble, monks, OK...

0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Next?- OK, next.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- That's Richard Dawkins. - That's Dawkins. Erm...- Erm...

0:02:49 > 0:02:50What did he write?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Selfish Gene? Blind Watchmaker?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- God Delusion?- God Delusion.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57- Next.- Next.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Two seconds... BELL RINGS

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Erm, the sweet stuff.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Lovely... But no!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Possible bonus chance

0:03:13 > 0:03:14for you, Meeples.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15- No.- Unless the...

0:03:15 > 0:03:17No, genes...

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Erm, they all have something to do with genes.

0:03:20 > 0:03:21I mean, we all have something

0:03:21 > 0:03:22to do with genes, don't we?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24That's very true.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26What do you recognise?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Er, some monks, bees...

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Mm-hm, Bumble. Monks, Bumble...

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Monks, Bumble...

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Dawkins. And what's happening

0:03:34 > 0:03:35in the last picture?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Dancing?- Chubby Checker there doing the twist.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Monks, Bumble, Dawkins, Twist.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41They're characters

0:03:41 > 0:03:43in the novel Oliver Twist!

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Mr Bumble the beadle, Dawkins,

0:03:45 > 0:03:47that's the name of the Artful Dodger, Jack Dawkins.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48Oliver Twist, of course.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Monks, well, he's not

0:03:50 > 0:03:51in the musical, Monks.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53I think he's Oliver's half-brother.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57There's something in the will where if Oliver becomes a criminal, he

0:03:57 > 0:03:58doesn't get the money, so Monks

0:03:58 > 0:04:00is a very sinister chap who pays

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Fagin to criminalise the boy

0:04:02 > 0:04:04to get his hands on some money.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Monks, Bumble, Dawkins, Twist,

0:04:06 > 0:04:07all characters in Dickens'

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Oliver Twist.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09No bonus point, then, Meeples,

0:04:09 > 0:04:11but your own question. What would you like?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Song Of Oneself? No.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39No, that's something else entirely.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Erm... - THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Next.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- BELL RINGS - Hell is...

0:04:48 > 0:04:50They are definitions of hell.

0:04:50 > 0:04:51You recognised that last one,

0:04:51 > 0:04:53L'enfer, c'est les autres.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Do you recognise any of the other clues?

0:04:56 > 0:04:57No, not even now.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59"Hell is oneself", probably true if

0:04:59 > 0:05:01you're TS Eliot, that was his quote.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Hell Is Home is a song by Judas Priest, 2001 song.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06And, "To love no longer",

0:05:06 > 0:05:08George Bernanos,

0:05:08 > 0:05:10a French philosophical writer.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12All definitions of hell.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13What would you like next,

0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Belgophiles?- Horned Viper, please.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17OK.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- It's the music question.- Great.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Sighing with pleasure.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21You will be hearing your clues,

0:05:21 > 0:05:23they all have something in common, what is it?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25The time starts now.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Unchained Melody... - Chains?- Chains?- Righteous Brothers?

0:05:57 > 0:05:59What about brothers?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Don't know.- Chains. - Yeah, I don't know, so...

0:06:01 > 0:06:03BELL RINGS

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Chains.- I'm afraid that's not it.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Bonus chance again for you, Meeples.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Melodies.- I'm afraid you jumped

0:06:11 > 0:06:12the wrong way, it is melodies.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16- What did we hear?- Well, the last one was Unchained Melody.- Mm-hm.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Erm, yeah, I mean the second one sounded like it was also

0:06:19 > 0:06:22talking about being music but, no, we don't really know.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23The first one,

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Melody In F, Rubinstein.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Play A Simple Melody was the second one, Irving Berlin.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31And the third one, Broadway Melody, from the film.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Did you know that Irving Berlin

0:06:33 > 0:06:34only liked to use the black keys

0:06:34 > 0:06:37on the piano, so most of his pieces were in F sharp?

0:06:37 > 0:06:38He said once, "The key of C

0:06:38 > 0:06:40"is for people who study music."

0:06:41 > 0:06:43All melodies, well done.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44And you get your own choice

0:06:44 > 0:06:46of question, what's it to be?

0:06:46 > 0:06:47- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49What is the connection between these clues?

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Here's the first...

0:06:52 > 0:06:55That was Arthur Sullivan's brother. No, he was...

0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK, we don't know who he is. Next.

0:07:00 > 0:07:05Erm, there's like pesto secco or something...

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Yeah, OK.- Next.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Yes, not pret-a-manger?

0:07:13 > 0:07:15They're all... Are they all like trans...?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Well, yeah, I don't know, it could be.- Could be.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Further on?- Shall I just go for next? Yeah, OK, next.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- The opposite way. They look like pop groups, don't they?- Yeah, they do.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29Two seconds.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32BELL RINGS

0:07:32 > 0:07:33It's the opposite.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Er, Hugh.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39It's the opposite. Eve the Ants, it's like Adam and the Ants.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40- It's the opposite.- Dried is

0:07:40 > 0:07:42the opposite of paste, of course.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43Absolutely, cos you have to have

0:07:43 > 0:07:45wet paste, otherwise it's just...

0:07:45 > 0:07:46It can't exist.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47Nice try, but I'm afraid

0:07:47 > 0:07:48I can't accept it.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Belgophiles, your chance for a bonus.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54We haven't got one.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55I said nobody would get this,

0:07:55 > 0:07:57I thought this was really difficult.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58I hoped someone would get it

0:07:58 > 0:08:00so I wouldn't have to explain it.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02They are pairs of balancing phrases,

0:08:02 > 0:08:03but we've taken out the joint bit.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06So, Adam and Eve, Adam and the Ants.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Take out Adam Ant,

0:08:07 > 0:08:09you get Eve the Ants.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Gilbert and George,

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Gilbert and Sullivan.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Cut and dried, cut and paste.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Rough and tumble, rough and ready.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Take out the matching bit,

0:08:16 > 0:08:18that's what's left behind,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20a fiendish word puzzle.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22So you don't get the bonus, Belgophiles,

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- but what would you like next? - Water, please.- The Water question.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first...

0:08:31 > 0:08:33THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Next.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Words with a lot of similar letters.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- I can't think of anything. - Yeah, OK. Next.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:08:49 > 0:08:54- Is it they're not allowed to... Not allowed to vote?- No way, no.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Not allowed to take...

0:08:55 > 0:08:58- There's something they're not allowed to do.- OK. Next.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Two seconds. BELL RINGS

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Er, they are not allowed to play the lottery.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Au pairs, not allowed to play

0:09:15 > 0:09:16the lottery? That would be cruel.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Good guess, but I'm afraid

0:09:18 > 0:09:19that's not the answer.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Meeples, you can have a go for a bonus point?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Are they all exempt from jury service?

0:09:23 > 0:09:24That would be a bit harsh if, er,

0:09:24 > 0:09:25everyone who was self-employed

0:09:25 > 0:09:28could get out of jury service and all employed people couldn't.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Another reasonable guess, but no.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31These are people

0:09:31 > 0:09:32who are not entitled

0:09:32 > 0:09:34to the national living wage.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Minimum wage, people sometimes say,

0:09:37 > 0:09:38but erroneously.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Minimum wage is actually technically

0:09:40 > 0:09:41if you're 24 and under.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Once you're 25 it's the same thing

0:09:43 > 0:09:44but they call it the national

0:09:44 > 0:09:46living wage, but, er, all of these

0:09:46 > 0:09:48people don't have to get it,

0:09:48 > 0:09:50so no bonus points there either.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52One question remains - Lion.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55What is the connection between these clues?

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Here's the first...

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Margarine, yellow, sounds like Yellow Submarine. Next.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Well, red four-star petrol.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12The colour of the... What's 1948 got to do with it? Next.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Oh, it's... For St Patrick's Day, it's dyed that colour!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Is it...?- Yeah.- Yeah, just... OK.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22BELL RINGS

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Things that have been dyed the colour that they're appearing in.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Absolutely right, you didn't need

0:10:27 > 0:10:28to see the last clue...

0:10:30 > 0:10:32What can you tell us about the stories behind these clues?

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Well, the Saturday in mid-March must be St Patrick's Day,

0:10:36 > 0:10:39or the nearest Saturday they must dye the river green in Chicago.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40That's right.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Margarine, I guess, has to be dyed yellow to look more like butter.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47And no doubt there's some amazing rationing story about red petrol.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well, it was that red dye was

0:10:49 > 0:10:51put into petrol that could only

0:10:51 > 0:10:52be used for commercial vehicles

0:10:52 > 0:10:54in the Motor Spirit Act, 1948.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Yes, margarine certainly doesn't have to be dyed yellow,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58it was a decision that was taken

0:10:58 > 0:10:59in the 19th century

0:10:59 > 0:11:00to make it more appetizing

0:11:00 > 0:11:01for people to sell more.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03By the way, I will be singing

0:11:03 > 0:11:05"We all live in a yellow margarine"

0:11:05 > 0:11:07for the rest of the night, thank you for that.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09And Marge Simpson dyes her hair

0:11:09 > 0:11:11with blue dye number 56.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Homer Simpsons said, "She's been

0:11:13 > 0:11:15grey as a mule since she was 17."

0:11:15 > 0:11:17All dyed the colour of the text, well done.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19That means at the end of Round One,

0:11:19 > 0:11:21the Meeples have four points,

0:11:21 > 0:11:22the Belgophiles are yet to score.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27On to Round Two, the sequences round.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30What comes fourth in a sequence, I will be asking the teams,

0:11:30 > 0:11:32and Belgophiles are going first again.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Which hieroglyph would you like?

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Eye of Horus, please.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36The Eye of Horus, OK.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38You'll be seeing the first in a sequence,

0:11:38 > 0:11:40I want to know what comes fourth.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42The time starts now...

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Next.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58This is Philip K Dick, Man In The High Castle, is it not?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00No, there's no sequence, is there?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Next.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Two seconds. BELL RINGS

0:12:21 > 0:12:22Tina Mountain.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26I love that guess. Wouldn't you be

0:12:26 > 0:12:28- amazed if it was right, though?- Yes.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29I'm afraid it isn't. Meeples,

0:12:29 > 0:12:31do you want to have a go for a bonus?

0:12:31 > 0:12:32No.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Is this ringing no bells with you?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Not really.- No.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Not even the name Dinah?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- No?- Shore?

0:12:40 > 0:12:41The Island Of Adventure,

0:12:41 > 0:12:42The Castle Of Adventure,

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- The Valley Of Adventure!- Oh...

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Those Enid Blyton books,

0:12:46 > 0:12:48the sequence is the adventure

0:12:48 > 0:12:51books going forward and the children getting younger.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Jack, Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann, and The Sea Of Adventure.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57The name Dinah I really thought

0:12:57 > 0:12:58was the giveaway one there

0:12:58 > 0:13:01because who's called Dinah apart from the girl in the book?

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Yes, now, we are going with,

0:13:02 > 0:13:04by the way, Enid Blyton enthusiasts

0:13:04 > 0:13:06may want to know, Philip's opinion

0:13:06 > 0:13:08that Jack is the oldest child.

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Philip says he thinks that

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Jack is the oldest one,

0:13:10 > 0:13:12and we're getting younger as we go through the books.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14People at home will have been

0:13:14 > 0:13:16shouting at the screen there, I think.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17No bonus points, then, Meeples,

0:13:17 > 0:13:18but what would you like?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Horned Viper, please. - The Horned Viper.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first...

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Next.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32Next.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Two seconds.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05BELL RINGS

0:14:05 > 0:14:0621.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09And why would that be?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's a number featuring some numbers that are on the screen.

0:14:11 > 0:14:12You've not persuaded me

0:14:12 > 0:14:14that's a sequence, I'm afraid,

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- so Belgophiles, another bonus chance.- We think it's 1.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18The answer is 1,

0:14:18 > 0:14:19and why would that be?

0:14:19 > 0:14:23This is the history of Central London phone codes

0:14:23 > 0:14:25without zero.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27That's exactly what it is,

0:14:27 > 0:14:28and of course, 020

0:14:28 > 0:14:30and 01 was all of London but we're

0:14:30 > 0:14:32going through the Central Line.

0:14:32 > 0:14:37020, 0171, 071, and going backwards it was previously 01.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39You forgot the old adage, when you

0:14:39 > 0:14:41don't know in a number question

0:14:41 > 0:14:43in a quiz, just say 1! It usually is 1!

0:14:43 > 0:14:45But you reasoned correctly, Belgophiles.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Well done, and you get the bonus point.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49What question would

0:14:49 > 0:14:50you like for yourselves?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Water, please.- Water, OK.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first...

0:15:01 > 0:15:02Next.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23BELL RINGS

0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Blair, zero. - Is the right answer.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Very well done for three points.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29What is the sequence?

0:15:29 > 0:15:33These are Labour leaders, the number of elections they lost.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34That's right, Labour leaders

0:15:34 > 0:15:36in order of general elections lost,

0:15:36 > 0:15:37and Tony Blair lost none.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Of course, there's other

0:15:39 > 0:15:40leaders who didn't lose

0:15:40 > 0:15:42an election by virtue of not having contested one.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Margaret Beckett, Keir Hardie...

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Various Labour leaders who didn't lose a general election.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Blair is the one that we went with, well done.

0:15:51 > 0:15:52Meeples, what would you like?

0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds, OK.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Next...

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Next...

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Two seconds. BELL RINGS

0:16:38 > 0:16:401st - Mary (1920).

0:16:40 > 0:16:42And why would that be?

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Big ocean liners, we've decided.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47I like it, you have a reasoning, but

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'm afraid that's not a sequence.

0:16:49 > 0:16:50So, Belgophiles,

0:16:50 > 0:16:52you've got another bonus chance.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Winston, 1945.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57That would be amazing. But no.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00That would require Winston to be the first

0:17:00 > 0:17:03child of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, which he is not.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Now, this is fiendish.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07It's the Queen's children,

0:17:07 > 0:17:09but fourth refers not just to the

0:17:09 > 0:17:10number of the child but the name.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12So the fourth name of the Queen's

0:17:12 > 0:17:14fourth child is Louis, third name of

0:17:14 > 0:17:17the third child Christian, second of the second child Elizabeth.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19So first, Charles, Prince Charles' first name,

0:17:19 > 0:17:22followed by Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise,

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Andrew Albert Christian Edward,

0:17:24 > 0:17:25and Prince Edward,

0:17:25 > 0:17:27the fourth child, his name

0:17:27 > 0:17:29is Edward Anthony Richard Louis,

0:17:29 > 0:17:30easily remembered

0:17:30 > 0:17:32because he has the initials EARL -

0:17:32 > 0:17:34The Earl of Wessex. Names of the

0:17:34 > 0:17:35Queen's children going towards

0:17:35 > 0:17:371st - Charles.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38So again no bonus points, but

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Belgophiles, what would you like?

0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Twisted Flax, please.- Twisted Flax, how twisted is this one going to be?

0:17:43 > 0:17:44They are picture clues.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48What sort of thing would you expect to see in the fourth picture?

0:17:48 > 0:17:49Here's the first...

0:17:55 > 0:17:56Next.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08BELL RINGS

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Erm, Desmond Dekker.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- And why would that be? - We have A-A, B-B there, so D-D.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17I'll accept it.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19For a perfect answer,

0:18:19 > 0:18:20I'd have wanted

0:18:20 > 0:18:21a D and a D, for example

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Dick and Dom that we went with,

0:18:22 > 0:18:24but you've solved the puzzle.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27We are looking at Anni-Frid and Agnetha, Bjorn and Benny,

0:18:27 > 0:18:29we went with Cheech and Chong

0:18:29 > 0:18:31in the third one, and D-D,

0:18:31 > 0:18:33so Dick and Dom or Desmond Dekker,

0:18:33 > 0:18:34I'm glad you didn't name me

0:18:34 > 0:18:35a page three model

0:18:35 > 0:18:37going by those measurements.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Well done.- Thanks.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40There is one question remaining,

0:18:40 > 0:18:42and that will go to you, Meeples.

0:18:42 > 0:18:43It's the Lion question.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Here's the first...

0:18:51 > 0:18:52Next.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06Next.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15BELL RINGS

0:19:15 > 0:19:16We = All Together.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17Is the right answer,

0:19:17 > 0:19:18and why is that?

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Because I Am The Walrus.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21Exactly.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24I am he, and you are he, and you are me, and we are all together.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25It continues...

0:19:25 > 0:19:29See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly?

0:19:29 > 0:19:31See how they fly, I'm crying!

0:19:31 > 0:19:32Magnificent.

0:19:32 > 0:19:37- Would you like to sing it?- It's not really got a melody at that stage.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Well, it's early in the competition,

0:19:39 > 0:19:40I'll let you off.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Very good answer, and that means,

0:19:41 > 0:19:43at the end of Round Two,

0:19:43 > 0:19:44the Meeples have six points,

0:19:44 > 0:19:46the Belgophiles have seven.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Time now for the Connecting Wall. And, Meeples,

0:19:51 > 0:19:55it's your turn to go first, so please choose - Lion or Water?

0:19:55 > 0:19:56Water, please.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59OK, you've got two-and-a-half minutes to solve the Water wall,

0:19:59 > 0:20:00starting now.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07OK, vinegar, so balsamic, sherry, spirit, and white wine.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09So, oh, yeah, exactly, so I'll keep circulating.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11BUZZ

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Prydz...

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Er, Prydz and Guetta and Tong are all DJs,

0:20:16 > 0:20:19so's Cox and possibly Oakenfold?

0:20:21 > 0:20:22Sherry you got, did you?

0:20:22 > 0:20:24There must be another kind of vinegar,

0:20:24 > 0:20:25so maybe it's Panam or something.

0:20:25 > 0:20:30- OK.- Panam-A, Chin-A, Malt-A, Tong-A...

0:20:30 > 0:20:33OK, erm...

0:20:33 > 0:20:34There are airlines, United, Delta...

0:20:34 > 0:20:39- Oh, yeah, Delta, American airlines, Frontier?- Could be, could well be.

0:20:39 > 0:20:40And...

0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Well done, good work. - OK, so does that...?

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Three lives now.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Cox, Prydz, Guetta and someone else,

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Oakenfold, I think, are DJs.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53And then that would give you

0:20:53 > 0:20:54Kombucha vinegar,

0:20:54 > 0:20:56- which is worth a go. - Yeah, Cox is definitely a DJ,

0:20:56 > 0:20:57so are we going to go for DJs?

0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Any other ideas?- Well, you know...

0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Not keen on DJs?- No, no, just...

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Well, do the DJs first, yeah, OK.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Songs and things.- Right.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08It could be electronic artists or something.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10You've solved the wall, my goodness!

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Like me with a lunch, you made short work of it!

0:21:12 > 0:21:16So, four points immediately for the groups, what about the connections?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Chin, Tong, Panam, Malt?

0:21:19 > 0:21:21If you put A on the end of them you get the name of a country.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25Countries without As - China, Tonga, Panama, Malta.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28And the green group, Frontier, United, Delta, Spirit?

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- All airlines in the US. - They are American airlines.

0:21:32 > 0:21:38- White wine, Kombucha, I suppose, Balsamic, Sherry?- Kinds of vinegar.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40They are kinds of vinegar, like my lunch -

0:21:40 > 0:21:42just different kinds of vinegar!

0:21:42 > 0:21:46And the turquoise group - Cox, Guetta... I give up!

0:21:48 > 0:21:53- DJs?- They are club DJs, a specialist subject of yours?- Er... No.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Better watch him, although it's lovely to see these elderly

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- High Court judges discussing popular music.- What do DJs do?

0:21:59 > 0:22:01I literally don't understand what they are,

0:22:01 > 0:22:04so I'm glad you used the word DJs, because yes!

0:22:04 > 0:22:07So you get all the points for the connections as well,

0:22:07 > 0:22:10and the bonus for getting it all right, that is a maximum of ten.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Let's bring in the Belgophiles now, give them the other

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Connecting Wall, the Lion wall, see what they can do about solving it.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19You have two-and-a-half minutes, starting now.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Right, cities in Italy...

0:22:25 > 0:22:27THEY CONFER

0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Madeleine's a cake. Fairy cake. - Fairy cakes...- Fairy cake...

0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Genoa is a cake.- Genoa cake...

0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Dundee cake.- Dundee. - Yeah, try those.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42OK...

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Sly and the Family Stone, Florence and the Machine.

0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Doctor and the Medics. - Katrina and the Waves.- Yeah...

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Venice, Bari, Milan, Rome...

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Get them out the way.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Do you want them out the way?- Yeah.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Three lives, now, plenty of time.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07- Pap, Tang - I think there's a word in here.- Julie...

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Hang on, you can add a letter on the end and you get

0:23:10 > 0:23:13something in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Papa, Tango, Juliet

0:23:15 > 0:23:16and probably Romeo.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Yeah.- But then, what are the others?

0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Italian cities.- Yeah, got ya.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25You've solved the wall, very good. Quick quizzing.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28So that's four points immediately for the groups

0:23:28 > 0:23:31and I'll give you more if you can tell me the connections -

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Genoa, Madeleine, Fairy, Dundee?

0:23:34 > 0:23:35- Cakes.- That's right.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Simply an assortment of different cakes.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Doctor, Florence, Sly, Katrina?

0:23:43 > 0:23:47The first words of musical acts that follow on with "and the".

0:23:47 > 0:23:49That's right. How would the acts be completed?

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Doctor and the Medics. Florence and the Machine.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Sly and the Family Stone. Katrina and the Waves.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Excellent. Do you know the surname of Katrina?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Wave! No.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01I wish I hadn't asked you that question, now that I see it's

0:24:01 > 0:24:07Leskanich. What year did they win the Eurovision Song Contest?

0:24:07 > 0:24:10- '97?- Yes, but you shouldn't have to think that long!

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Every self-respecting quizzer can do every Eurovision win,

0:24:13 > 0:24:15going back hundreds of years.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18That's right, they are musical acts and the something.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21And the next group - the one I always say pink and then

0:24:21 > 0:24:23people at home say, "No, it's maroon..."

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Add a letter on to the end of it and you get the NATO,

0:24:29 > 0:24:30letters in the NATO alphabet.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32That's right. So,

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Romeo, Papa, Juliet, Tango.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I think sometimes Juliet is spelt with two Ts

0:24:36 > 0:24:38but more commonly with one T.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Take the letter off the end to get the NATO alphabet.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44And Milan, Ancona, Bari, Venice?

0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Cities in Italy.- They are cities in Italy. Can you be more specific?

0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Cities on the sea?- No...

0:24:52 > 0:24:55It doesn't matter, you can have it for cities

0:24:55 > 0:24:57but they are actually all regional capitals.

0:24:57 > 0:24:58Italian regional capitals.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00So that is four more points for the connections,

0:25:00 > 0:25:03plus I can give you a bonus of two for getting it all right.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05That's the maximum of ten points.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18And if you were shouting, "Yes, yes, best known for their cover

0:25:18 > 0:25:21"of Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky," then perhaps you'd like

0:25:21 > 0:25:23to take part in the next series of Only Connect.

0:25:23 > 0:25:24Go to...

0:25:26 > 0:25:28..to find out how to apply.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29But things are neck and neck here,

0:25:29 > 0:25:32it will be decided in the missing vowels round.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35And when I say it will be decided, I mean nothing will be decided

0:25:35 > 0:25:38cos you've both won matches already, you won't be knocked out,

0:25:38 > 0:25:40it's all, ultimately, meaningless.

0:25:40 > 0:25:44But enjoying ourselves, we've taken the vowels out of well-known names,

0:25:44 > 0:25:46phrases and sayings, squidged up the consonants

0:25:46 > 0:25:48and I want to know what are the disguised clues.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51On the plus side, I will tell you the connections upfront,

0:25:51 > 0:25:54on the minus side, if you get it wrong by so much as one letter,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57I will take a point away. So, buzz with care.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Fingers on buzzers, teams, the first group are all...

0:26:07 > 0:26:09In Dubai.

0:26:14 > 0:26:15In Kuala Lumpur.
