0:00:24 > 0:00:28that Professor Moriarty himself was scared to apply,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30although that's mainly because he couldn't find

0:00:33 > 0:00:35The world is full of brilliant, creepy,
0:00:35 > 0:00:39inspired yet malevolent creatures that rarely venture out in daylight.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08United by a reverence for reptiles,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10they are the Snake Charmers.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12You won your first heat against the Extras
0:01:12 > 0:01:14but you lost to the Eco-Warriors.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16How have you prepared for this next crucial game?
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Well, very significantly, Slithers shed his skin
0:01:21 > 0:01:24so he's been promoted to Air Chief Marshal,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26so we had to have a shedding party.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30A lovely story. I hope that skin brings you good fortune.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32You are playing, this evening, on my left,
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Luke Kelly,

0:01:54 > 0:01:56All question setters by trade,
0:01:56 > 0:01:57they are the Inquisitors.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Now, you beat the Cricketers, but you lost to the Wanderers.- Mm-hmm.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04What's it like being on the receiving end of the questions?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Um, it's OK for the most part.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09We've learned...
0:02:09 > 0:02:13We've decided to avoid certain things, let's say,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15but we'll see what happens.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18My dressing room when I invite you in for a drink?

0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Please choose the first hieroglyph of the game.- Lion, please.- Lion.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32What is the connection between these apparently random clues?
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Here's the first.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Does it mean anything to you?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39THEY CONFER
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- SV...- Swedish?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42- Slovakian?- Slovakian?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Next, please.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49THEY CONFER
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Mr Muscle, Mr Strong. They're all Mr Men.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Mr Men?- Go for it.- Go for it?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57BELL
0:02:57 > 0:03:01They are the names of Mr Men in other languages.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04They are international Mr Men. Very well done.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06You didn't even need to see Monsieur Bing
0:03:06 > 0:03:08and Herr Dumpidump.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Who are those Mr Men?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Er...- Mr Small.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Mr Small.- Mr Small in...?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- In Swedish?- In Swedish.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Gubben Knatte is Mr Small.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20These aren't translations, they're the local titles.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23That second one, actually, it's not Herr Muskel for Mr Strong
0:03:23 > 0:03:25cos they've got an Unser Herr Stark.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28But there's another one, Mr Muskel.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- They've got two different Mr Strongs.- Mr Bounce in French.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Mm-hmm.- And I'm guessing Norwegian for Dumpidump.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36It is. Herr Dumpidump.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Very well done. They are all international Mr Men.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Snake Charmers, back to you for a choice.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Can we have Twisted Flax, please?- I don't see why not. The Twisted Flax.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46These are going to be picture clues.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Something connects them, but what? Here's the first.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Do we have any idea who that is?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Next, please.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Snatch... Next, please.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06That's a Tesla.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Are they all...?- Anagrams?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Yeah, they're all... - BELL
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Are they all anagrams of each other?
0:04:13 > 0:04:14They are anagrams of each other.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17You didn't need to see the last one, "slate". What are we looking at?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19We're looking at a Tesla car,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21we're looking at somebody stealing a handbag
0:04:21 > 0:04:24and we're looking at a man who I'm going to guess is called Steal.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Jeff Astle, the former West Brom star.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29No? Big football star there.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33But, yes, very well done. Astle, Steal, Tesla, Slate - all anagrams.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Who founded the Tesla car, do you know?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Er, Elon Musk.- It is Elon Musk.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Elon Musk believes, according to an interview,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43that we probably live in a computer simulation.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45If we were inside a computer simulation,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47would we be able to work out that we were?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50But if we're in a computer simulation,
0:04:50 > 0:04:51we might have a sense of purpose.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53My word, that's nihilistic!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Do you not feel you have a sense of purpose?- No.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Is that why you play quizzes?- Yes.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00It can be like that. I feel like that about crosswords.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It gives meaning and order to the universe.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04On this gloomy note,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06let's move on to the next question.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Inquisitors, what would you like next?- Eye of Horus, please.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Ooh, Portsmouth FC. What was on there in the 1980s?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I don't know, but it's got like a crescent.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Next, please.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- So, it's Brum.- What's the assay mark for Birmingham?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Is that a moon or a star? Is it a crescent? Shall we go next?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Next, please.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Kuehne + Nagel - that's a brand of...
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- It's a shipping brand, isn't it? - Is it?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Next, please.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Anchors.- Are they all assay marks?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- BELL - So, it's anchor.- Anchors.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52They all have anchors in common.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55And how? Tell me about those clues.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm guessing at some point in the '80s,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- the Portsmouth FC crest had an anchor on it.- Mm-hmm.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Birmingham silver - the assay mark for Birmingham
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- on silver is an anchor. - That's right.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Popeye's arm has an anchor tattoo on it.- Mm-hmm.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- And Kuehne + Nagel... - Has an anchor as well.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Does it have an anchor in its logo?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It's a global logistics company based in Switzerland
0:06:13 > 0:06:16and that is part of their logo. Let me ask you this question, John.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Do you know what the anchor signifies in heraldry?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Hope. It signifies hope.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Yes! It signifies hope.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So, if you have no purpose, the anchor signifies hope.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Although weirdly, often in heraldry,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30you see an anchor with a rope tangled round it,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32which is a fouled anchor,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34which seems a bit less hopeful, doesn't it?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Yeah, but at least it's attached to something.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Maybe the anchor has a sense of purpose, even if we don't.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Let's move on. JOHN GIGGLES
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Back to you, Snake Charmers, for a choice.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Can we have the Water, please? - I don't see why not.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56THEY CONFER

0:07:21 > 0:07:24THEY CONFER
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Three seconds. BELL
0:07:31 > 0:07:38Are these the surnames of lead singers and guitarists from bands?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Not it, I'm afraid, so a bonus chance for the Inquisitors.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43We think these are singing duos
0:07:43 > 0:07:46who are known by their first names.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49That's what it is. They are lead singers in a way,
0:07:49 > 0:07:50but there are only two of them
0:07:50 > 0:07:53and they're better known by their first names, which are...?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57We've got Robson Green and Jerome Flynn. For shame, knowing that.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Sonny & Cher.- Mm-hmm.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Moore & Prater rings a bell, but I'm not quite sure who they are.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Sam & Dave.- Ah, yes.- Sam Moore and Dave Prater. And the first ones?
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- Don't know. DiConcetto & Cruz. - Now, her first name was Karen.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Karen DiConcetto, but otherwise known as Daphne.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17It's Daphne & Celeste.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Oh, wow!- Daphne & Celeste, yes.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I'm going to have Ooh, Stick You
0:08:21 > 0:08:23in my head for the rest of the day.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Well, if you win the game, don't sing it at your opponents.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26That would be terrible.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29That could push John over the edge, couldn't it? It would be awful.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32So, you get the bonus point. And what would you like as a question?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Horned Viper, please. - The Horned Viper.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37OK, what is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42THEY CONFER
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Next, please.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51That was... Oh!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Was it the Tower of London?- Yeah.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55BELL
0:08:55 > 0:08:56The Tower of London.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Very well done, for three points. That is good quizzing.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Let me show you the other two clues.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04These are all things that have been found at the Tower of London.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07For whose amusement was the menagerie?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Oh, I'm not entirely sure. Various monarchs.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13For monarchs, the royal family.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14There were elephants, tigers,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17kangaroos, ostriches, all held in the Tower.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18The Royal Mint was in the Tower.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Prison. It was a prison for all of those years.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25The last person publicly beheaded at the Tower of London, Lord Lovat,
0:09:25 > 0:09:26and on the day of his execution,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29one of the scaffolds for spectators collapsed
0:09:29 > 0:09:30and 20 more people died.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32But it's hard to feel sympathetic, isn't it?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36They gathered eagerly there to watch the execution. Live by the sword...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38And what's happening in that fourth clue?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40They are the poppies that were there
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- for the First World War centenary installation.- That's right.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45All things found at the Tower of London
0:09:45 > 0:09:48in the time period specified in the brackets. Well done.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Back to you, Snake Charmers, for the last question of the round,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52the Two Reeds. MUSICAL NOTE
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Yes, I'm afraid it's the music question.- Yay!
0:09:55 > 0:09:59What do these musical clues have in common? Good luck. Here's the first.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03# Still the same

0:10:38 > 0:10:40A number of years.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'm going to give you one more go.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Seven years.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'm afraid that is not the connection.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Inquisitors, do you want a go for a bonus point?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- It's just seven. - It's just seven, I'm afraid.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Did you only recognise one song? - Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Yes, Lukas Graham, 7 Years, the third clue.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Clue two was 7 Seconds by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- and number four was 7 Days by Craig David.- Craig David.
0:11:03 > 0:11:077 Weeks by InMe, that's the first clue. Yes, unlucky.
0:11:07 > 0:11:087 Years was one of them,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11but "7" is the only thing they all have in common.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22This time the teams may see a maximum of three clues.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Snake Charmers have got the chance of a bonus point.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'd expect to see a picture of some people.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It is a picture of some people. And why?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Because it's "Here's the church, here's the steeple,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- "open the doors and here's the people."- That's exactly right.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Could you demonstrate that more accurately for me?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Here's the church, here's the steeple,

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Er...How Was My Valley?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Is an acceptable answer, and why?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Because we're going red, orange, yellow, green,
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- through the rainbow, but dropping the colours.- That's right.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47They are titles of fictional works of films, in fact,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50from which we've taken out colours in a rainbow sequence,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52and I wanted to hear something with green in the title.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Fried Green Tomatoes, How Green Was My Valley, acceptable answers.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Can you think of any more?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- The Green Grass Of Home. - That would work.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- The Mile.- The Mile. Card.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Berets. Street. Lantern. Hornet.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I could go on. I won't.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Well done for the points.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Inquisitors, what would you like next?- Twisted Flax, please.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44BELL
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Dmitry Medvedev. - Is the right answer, well done.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48And why? What's the sequence?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Because they were Prime Ministers of Russia
0:14:52 > 0:14:54before they became president.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It's simply a series of Prime Ministers of Russia. That's it.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Mikhail Fradkov - that was after Vladimir Putin sacked
0:14:59 > 0:15:01the entire government and started again
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and he appointed Fradkov as Prime Minister.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Subsequent Prime Ministers - Zubkov, Putin.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Medvedev would be the next in the sequence, well done.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Back to you, Snake Charmers, for a choice.- Water, please.- Water, OK.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16What would come fourth here? First clue coming in now.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36to win Wimbledon last time he did.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- I think he beat Raonic in the final.- Go for it.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41BELL
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- 7/7, Milos?- Simple as that.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Very well done for three points. And what's the sequence?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51These are people Andy Murray beat to win Wimbledon
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- last time he won Wimbledon. - That's right. Wimbledon 2016.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It was Andy Murray's opponents. Who were they?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Nick Kyrgios, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Tomas Berdych?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03That's right. And then Milos Raonic in the final. Well done.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- Back to you, Inquisitors, for a choice.- Horned Viper, please.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Horned Viper. What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38THEY CONFER
0:16:46 > 0:16:47BELL
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- 23.- 23 or 2-3 is the right answer, well done.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- What's happening here? - So, 8 x 2 is 16, but then reversed.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- 8 x 3, 24.- It's great, isn't it?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59It's so beautifully annoying, this question.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's just the eight times table but with the digits reversed,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04so 16 becomes 61,
0:17:04 > 0:17:0724 becomes 42, and I wanted to hear 32 reversed, 23.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Well done.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Snake Charmers, one question remains.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13The Two Reeds, that will be for you.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15What comes fourth in this sequence?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17The time starts now.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23THEY CONFER
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Next, please.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35THEY CONFER

0:17:46 > 0:17:50THEY CONFER
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Have you got anything? - No, go for it.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56BELL
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Number of people at the Last Supper. - For what reason?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- It's 13.- I'm afraid that is not the right answer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Inquisitors, do you want to have a go for a bonus point?
0:18:06 > 0:18:11- Something with 14. - That's not it either.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13What do you think is happening in these clues?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17The Countdown Conundrum has nine letters.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Tables tennis winning game total is 11.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Table tennis game winning total is 11 what?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Points.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27And the Countdown Conundrum is...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Ten points.- Worth ten points.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32A circle constructed for any given triangle.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34That's a mathematical thing. Nine points.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36We want to hear something that represents 12 points,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40for example automatic UK driving disqualification.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Now, had you said that there were 12 people
0:18:42 > 0:18:44at the Last Supper with Jesus,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I probably wouldn't have given it to you anyway
0:18:46 > 0:18:48because it's points that I want to know about,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50but the number 13 is certainly wrong.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Some viewers might wonder about that first clue.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I can't begin to explain it. Can anyone explain it?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- I have a vague idea. I was quite good at geometry.- Give it a go.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00You draw a triangle and then there are various points
0:19:00 > 0:19:03you construct of the circle...
0:19:03 > 0:19:06You have circles tangent to the edges of the triangle
0:19:06 > 0:19:08and various points to do with those, you can draw a circle
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- going through all of them, I think. - This may or may not be correct.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14If not, please write to anyone other than me.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Well done for having a go at explaining that.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19That means, at the end of round two...
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Connecting Wall time now and, Snake Charmers, it will be your turn
0:19:28 > 0:19:31to go first, so would you like Lion or Water?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Could we have Water, please? - Yes, you could.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38You have two and a half minutes to solve the Water Wall, starting now.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37- BUZZ - Do we have enough...?

0:21:41 > 0:21:44That's not it, so the wall has frozen.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47But you did find two groups. What about the connections?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Iron, Shower, Net, Safety.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- They're all curtains. - They're all curtains.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54And the green group, starting Mizz?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56They're all magazines aimed at teenage girls.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01They are all the teen magazines, back in the day. Magnificent.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03And you can still get points for the connections
0:22:03 > 0:22:05in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Here you go. Caroline, Jackie, London, 270.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Um...- Try this as "sweet"?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15That's not it. This really IS back in the day.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19These are pirate radio stations. You might know Radio Caroline.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21That's probably the most famous one. Pirate radio stations.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23And the turquoise group?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Sugar, Marvelous, Smokin', Bonecrusher?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Compliments? - LAUGHTER
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Could be.- They are not compliments.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41and James Bonecrusher Smith.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44They are the nicknames of boxers.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46But you found two groups and two connections,
0:22:46 > 0:22:47so that's a total of four.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Let's bring in the Inquisitors now, give them the Lion Wall
0:22:50 > 0:22:53and see what they can do about solving it.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Types of ship. - Destroyer, cruiser, battleship.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Is that too obvious? What else is there?

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Galley is a type of ship?

0:23:50 > 0:23:54Monitor... There's a lizard called a Monitor. Could it be that? No.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- I think we need to go for ships first.- Corvette's a ship?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Corvette's a car.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56- BUZZ - One life.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Ten seconds.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05No, that's your three lives, and the wall has frozen.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08But you found two groups. What about the connections?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Tell me about the first group, starting Eye.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12OK, that's words for looking at things.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14To eye, to view, to observe, to rubberneck.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17And the green group, starting Cruiser?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Boxing weights. - Boxing weights. Absolutely right.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22And you can still get points for the connections
0:25:22 > 0:25:25in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the Wall.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30And the pink group - Money, Aces, Battleship, Watch?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Eye?- No. It is a word one. "Pocket".
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- Pocket money, pocket aces, pocket battleship, pocket watch.- Oh, OK.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Pocket battleship is literally a small battleship.- Oh, OK.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44And the turquoise group - Destroyer, Galley, Monitor, Corvette?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- I think they're something to do with ships.- Yeah.- Ships?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Can you be more specific?- Warships?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- They are warships. That's exactly right.- OK.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55So, you found two groups and you gave me three connections.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58That is a total of five. Let's have a look at the overall scores.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Time for round four, the Missing Vowels round.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Fingers on buzzers, teams.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11In the first group,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13you are in trouble when you are...

0:27:55 > 0:27:56In second place, with 19,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58it's the Snake Charmers.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00What a shame. A great team.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Clever and funny, and you had a really good round four,
0:28:02 > 0:28:07but I'm afraid not enough to go through. We're saying goodbye.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Thank you for watching and please join me next time
0:28:09 > 0:28:12when, once again, our business is quizness.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Although, to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed
0:28:14 > 0:28:16with how that slogan's been going.
0:28:16 > 0:28:22I'm starting to regret ordering 10,000 T-shirts with it on. Goodbye.
