0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Spots.- Is the right answer.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Richard, I think
0:11:18 > 0:11:19- you recognised that.- Yeah.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21What's going on here?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Is it how the animals got their...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26From Rudyard Kipling?
0:11:26 > 0:11:27It is the Just So Stories. That's right.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29It's just in order of chapters.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So, what are the animals?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I couldn't remember the throat one,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35but the camel got the hump,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37and leopard got the spots and I....
0:11:37 > 0:11:39That's why it took us so long to get it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40It's how the whale got his throat,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and how the rhinoceros got his skin.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Do you know how the rhinoceros got his skin?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46- No idea.- No.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It was a smooth creature at the beginning of the story,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and it had crumbs scattered on it, so it was all itchy,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and it rubbed itself against a tree and went wrinkly.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55That's how the rhinoceros got his skin.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Next along, leopard and spots. Well done.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Back to you, Inquisitors,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- for a choice.- Twisted Flax, please.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03The Twisted Flax. OK.

0:12:50 > 0:12:51Not the answer, I'm afraid. So,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53a bonus chance for you, Wanderers.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I thought we knew it. I'm sorry.
0:12:56 > 0:13:03No, you don't know? It is 0.0005.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05This is a nasty hidden question.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08They are the decimals of pi.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- ALL:- Oh!- So, 3.1415 and so on,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14but we've taken out all the numbers,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17apart from the decimals moving along
0:13:17 > 0:13:18one, two, three and four.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21So, 0.0005 is what I needed to hear.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Isn't that horrible?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- What a nasty quiz.- Yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26So, no bonus points for you, Wanderers,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28but you may choose a question.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53No, no. No, no, no, no.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03Oh, it's long jump. Oh, sorry.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- I didn't see that. Oh, no.- Next.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Sorry. Grenada.

0:14:18 > 0:14:19Central African Republic.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20No, that's not it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Inquisitors, do you want
0:14:21 > 0:14:23to have a go for a bonus point?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Go on.- 2016 -
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Fiji (Rugby sevens). - A perfect answer.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- That's the one we chose ourselves, actually.- Well done.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31So, I think you know what this is
0:14:31 > 0:14:33over there, which is
0:14:33 > 0:14:34first Olympic golds.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36The years in which these countries
0:14:36 > 0:14:37won their first golds. I needed
0:14:37 > 0:14:38to hear one of the countries
0:14:38 > 0:14:40that won its first gold in 2016,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42for example Fiji in the rugby sevens.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43So, very well done.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45That's a bonus point to you, Inquisitors.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Which question would you like?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Eye of Horus, please.- Eye of Horus.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49What would come fourth
0:14:49 > 0:14:51in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54THEY CONFER
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Next, please.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01THEY CONFER

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Countries in...- Yeah, cos all the islands count as North America.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- So, what's the next...?- I think it's going to have to be...
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Um...
0:15:25 > 0:15:26It's going down.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28THEY CONFER
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Three seconds.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Oh, I'm afraid the time's run out,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and that's the end of your go.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Wanderers, another bonus chance.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Antarctica, zero.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Is the right answer.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41- Oh!- No, honestly...
0:15:41 > 0:15:43And why is that?
0:15:43 > 0:15:44This is the number of countries
0:15:44 > 0:15:47in each one of those continents in descending order.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49That's right, it's continents
0:15:49 > 0:15:51by number of countries, going down.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54And which continent has the most countries?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Africa.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57It is Africa - and most people would guess Europe.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Do you know many countries are in Africa?
0:15:59 > 0:16:0057.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It's 54. 54, though!
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Countries in Africa.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05People would guess Europe,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07because they think it's sort of a blizzard of countries, but no.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Quite surprising.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09If you put this in a pub quiz,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11you'd see a lot of people crossing it out
0:16:11 > 0:16:13and then going, "Wait, hang on, which...?"
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Trying to write them all down.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Good luck trying to write down the 54 African countries,
0:16:17 > 0:16:18if you're trying to do that now.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19I used to work with a lady
0:16:19 > 0:16:21who could recite the list of African countries.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I was most impressed.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25That's my kind of work colleague.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- How the hours must have flown by. - Indeed.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28I'm not even joking.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm not even joking.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31So, very well done,
0:16:31 > 0:16:32and one question remains.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Again, the Water question,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35that is yours, Wanderers.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36What would come fourth
0:16:36 > 0:16:38in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Next.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Oh, that's... - HE WHISPERS
0:16:46 > 0:16:47It's a pantomime...
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Er, next.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54The number of girls in each one.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56So, there's four, three, two...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59So, what's the name of the other one?
0:16:59 > 0:17:00One girl, one woman...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- What, is it two in The Liver Birds?- Yes.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Miranda.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Exactly what we chose ourselves, correct.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11And why is that?
0:17:11 > 0:17:15These are sitcoms with women in them in descending order -
0:17:15 > 0:17:18so, four, three, two and one.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19That's right. Girls, the American TV show,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21there are four central characters.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Do you know their names?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23No.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29Hannah Horvath, Marnie Michaels, Jessa Johansson, Shoshanna Shapiro.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Four title characters in Girls.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Babes In The Wood was that show set in St John's Wood
0:17:34 > 0:17:36in London, there were three central characters.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37The Liver Birds, two, of course,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40so, we needed a show with one central female character -
0:17:40 > 0:17:42The Vicar Of Dibley, you might have said,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Miranda was an acceptable answer.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46That means, at the end of round two,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48the Inquisitors have 7 points,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50the Wanderers have 12.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Time now for the Connecting Wall, where four groups of four
0:17:55 > 0:17:58have been jumbled up to make 16 random looking clues.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02The teams must sort them back into their perfect sets.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04You'll be going first, this time, Wanderers,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06so, please choose Lion or Water.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Lion, please.- OK.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12You have two and a half minutes to solve the Lion Wall, starting now.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Right...- There's castles in Scotland...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Falkland...
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Linlithgow, yeah, Dunfermline... - Either Scone or Holyrood.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Holyrood, yeah, OK.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Right, so, which one...?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Holyrood... Into Linlithgow.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yeah, OK, there's, er...
0:18:30 > 0:18:35The... Neverwhere is one, American Gods,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Good Omens...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Stardust, Neverwhere...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41American Gods, Good Omens.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Three lives now.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- So, there's Marks...- '70s singers.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Bryan Ferry...- Right, before we do it...- Noddy Holder.- Right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Iggy Pop.- OK...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Bryan Ferry... - These are so different, though.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Controversy, Scone, Uranus...- OK...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- URanus or urANus...- Yeah. - So, we've got BOW-ie or BO-ie.- Yeah.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Hang on, so...
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- So, we've got Holder, Noddy Holder, Bryan Ferry, Iggy Pop.- Right.- Yeah?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06And the others are pronunciation differences.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10That'll do.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13You've solved the Wall, very impressive stuff.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15So, that's 4 points, immediately, for the groups.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Let's look for the connections.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20The first, blue, group, starting Falkland.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22These are palaces in Scotland.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24They are Scottish palaces.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Cos you initially said castles when you were playing the Wall...- Yeah.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33..but I couldn't have accepted it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35No, they're not castles, they are all palaces.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37And the next, green, group...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45They are novels by the superb Neil Gaiman.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47I'm very impressed.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50You see, I suppose that's something you've either read or you haven't.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51- Mm.- You're obviously a fan. - Very good, yeah.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53And the next, pink or purple, group,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56or whatever colour you see at home, starting Holder. What's that?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59'70s pop star surnames.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03So, Noddy Holder, Bryan Ferry, Iggy Pop, Marc Bolan.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06They are 1970s singers, or glam rock stars.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09And the last, turquoise, group, starting Bowie.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Um... So, these were...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Have differences in pronunciation,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16depending on where you come from or who you listen to.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Well, that's right.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I mean, of course, there is only one way of saying each of these things -
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Bowie, scone, controversy, Uranus, of course,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25but they are contentious because a lot of people make mistakes
0:20:25 > 0:20:27and pronounce them the wrong way.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29So, I'll accept your answer.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31You found all four groups for 4 points,
0:20:31 > 0:20:32you gave me all the connections for 4 points,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I'll give you a bonus of 2 for getting it all right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36That is the maximum of 10.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Let's bring in the Inquisitors now, and give them
0:20:39 > 0:20:41the other Connecting Wall, see what they can do about solving it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I can't remember - how did the Wall go in your first heat?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45It was very frustrating.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It was quite frustrating - we got the first two groups quite quickly,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51and then there were lots of things that would fit into the third group,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and we just kept putting the wrong things in.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Oh, that's right.- Yeah.- You left yourselves with about nine clues.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59We left ourselves with lots, yeah, so - better this time, hopefully.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- I wish you better luck on this Wall. - Thank you.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04You have two and a half minutes, of course,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06to solve it, starting now.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Ooh, God.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- OK, Van der Graaf Generator, Curette...- Prog rock bands, as well.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- OK, go for it, then.- Um...
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Focus...- Traffic...- Procol Harum...
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Van der Graaf Generator... - Traffic.- Traffic?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18No.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Yes.- Yes! Procol Harum, Van der Graaf Generator, Focus...
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Yep.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Lancet...- Lancet, caliper, curette...- Curette.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28- Retractor.- Retractor.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29No.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Well, keep going.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Retractor...- Retractor.- ..Lancet, curette - it's maybe not caliper.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Er...
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Oh, OK, what are they?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Do you know?- Three lives now.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Plenty of time.- OK.- So, we've got...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Caliper is something that supports...
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Are there any wordy things here?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Could this be a U-turn?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47U-turn... No.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51You got disc and drum are types of brakes, aren't they, in a car?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Hydraulic brakes? - Hydraulic brakes, yes.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Oh, no... Disc...
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Disc, drum, hydraulic - so, what are we left with, then?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Possibly caliper.- But then what have we got with these?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- Egg...- Egg, system, traffic and U.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- U... - Is a caliper brake really a thing?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Traffic lights...- Egg... But, oh, no, cos...
0:22:12 > 0:22:15No, cos we're only on one of three lives.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17EG...
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Cal...- No.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I'm not seeing anything in there. - What's U?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- U-turn, U-bend...- U-bend.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Nothing else, really, that's bend.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32U... Egg...
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Boil...- Boiled egg. Egg cup. - Timer.- Egg timer.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48No, it's not it.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50That's not it. I don't...
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Oh...
0:22:51 > 0:22:52- No.- One life left.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- We've got one life left! - Oh, of course, sorry! Oh, dear.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- No.- No.- That's your third life, and the Wall has frozen -
0:23:25 > 0:23:27but you found two groups. This is like last time, isn't it?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Yeah, exactly like last time. - You got two groups.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Well, let's see about the connections.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Procol Harum and so forth, at the top.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- They are prog rock bands.- They are - and you got back quickly.- Yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Who's the prog rock fan?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I'm not a fan, but I know that Van der Graaf Generator
0:23:42 > 0:23:44are a prog rock band.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45My brother was a big prog fan.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50The next, green, group. Rongeur, lancet, curette, retractor.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55- They're all medical instruments. - Yeah.- Do you know what they do?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57A lancet is a long needle, isn't it?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58It makes little incisions, yeah.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59A retractor opens you up -
0:23:59 > 0:24:01once they've sliced you, it puts your apart...
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Ooh!- ..to keep you...- How nice! - Cheery for the viewers. Lovely.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- This is Grey's Anatomy at work, here.- Lovely.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- A curette's really horrible. - A curette is something that cuts.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- A curette cuts.- Slices.- It scrapes. - We'll gloss over that one.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Rongeur?- No idea what a rongeur is. - I don't know what a rongeur is.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Heavy-duty forceps for removing small pieces of bone.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Medical equipment - and you can still get points
0:24:18 > 0:24:20for the connections in the groups you didn't find.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22So, let's resolve the Wall.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23There you go.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Caliper, U, hydraulic, disc.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27OK.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- I think they're... - It's got to the brakes.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31It must be. Are they braking systems?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33They are brakes. I heard you asking, "Is a caliper really a brake?"
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- It is, on a bicycle.- Oh, OK. - Rim brake on a bicycle.- OK.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38And the last, turquoise, group.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Drum, egg, traffic, system.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Anything?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54- beat traffic... - Beat the traffic, beat the system.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Oh, well done!- Oh, God!
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- Things you can beat. Very well done, at the last minute.- Wow.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01So, you found two groups
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and you told me all four connections.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04That's a total of 6.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12The Inquisitors have 13 points, the Wanderers have 22.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17If you'd like to take part in the next series of Only Connect,
0:25:17 > 0:25:18then why not go to the website...
0:25:21 > 0:25:22..to find out how to apply?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Missing vowels time, now, teams.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Of course, this is round two, you can't be knocked out.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29You simply aren't able to leave.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The doors are locked, you're here until well into next year -
0:25:32 > 0:25:34but we might as well play it. What do you think?
0:25:34 > 0:25:35- Yeah, let's do it.- Pass the time.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38So, we will take well-known names, phrases and sayings,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40we will take out the vowels, squidge up the consonants,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and I want to know, what are those disguised clues?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46If you get it wrong by so much as a single letter,
0:25:46 > 0:25:47I'll take a point away.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39even though the bell has gone.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You clearly didn't know that one,
0:27:41 > 0:27:45which was Tahrir in Cairo...
0:27:45 > 0:27:47..but it does not affect the final outcome.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I can tell you that the winners,
