0:00:21 > 0:00:23What do ghosts eat?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Well, the ancient Greeks believed that the ghosts of their dead roamed
0:00:26 > 0:00:31for an eternity, consuming fields of the grey-white flower asphodel.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Conversely, in Taoist parts of Asia,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36relatives lay out gifts of rice and bread
0:00:36 > 0:00:38for the spirits of their loved ones.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Meanwhile, in the modern Western tradition,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44ghosts eat mainly goul-ash, dreaded wheat and spook-ghetti.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47So it all depends on your culture.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Quizzing tonight, on my right...

0:01:09 > 0:01:11United by a soft spot for serpents,
0:01:11 > 0:01:12they are the Snake Charmers.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Are you all snake owners? Do they make nice pets?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16No, Kate's the only one
0:01:16 > 0:01:18who's a snake...who has a pet snake,
0:01:18 > 0:01:19but Tom and Kate bonded
0:01:19 > 0:01:21over building a snake box
0:01:21 > 0:01:23that I have driven Kate to get from the shop,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27so it's an important part of the lives of the three of us.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29A heart-warming tale.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Welcome to the show.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32You are playing against tonight, on my left...
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Vikram Vasu,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37a financial services professional with a passion for London Transport
0:01:37 > 0:01:41who enjoys watching time-lapse videos of London bus routes.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45consultant who once played the part
0:01:45 > 0:01:49of a cynical, middle-aged tea vendor on a train.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51And their captain, Vinod Ganesh,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53a financial analyst who used
0:01:53 > 0:01:57a series of ten quiz questions to propose to his wife.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59All experienced background actors,
0:01:59 > 0:02:00they are the Extras.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Front of stage tonight - how are the nerves getting to you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06We're just glad there is a lot of water on the table.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Well, good luck.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08You won the toss, Snake Charmers,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10but in your first fiendish move,
0:02:10 > 0:02:11you decided to put your opponents
0:02:11 > 0:02:12in first. So, Extras,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16We'd like the Twisted Flax, please.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20The Twisted Flax will be the first question of tonight's show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23What is the connection between four apparently random clues?
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Shout "next" when you want another one.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Here's a first.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Bubble. Types of wrap.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Types of bath. Types of tea.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Next.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Indemnity.- Double, double! - What does "double" mean?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Double indemnity.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- What is a double bubble, you know? - It's something.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK. You want to go for another one?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Next.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Yes, that's it.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51All of these can be prefixed by the word "double".
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Absolutely right. You didn't need
0:02:52 > 0:02:54to see the last one, entendre.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Can you think of a good double entendre, or shall I give you one?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57I'm just joking.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59They can all be preceded by double.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Double Dutch. Double bubble -
0:03:01 > 0:03:03that's the sort of way being paid double time.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Double indemnity.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Double dating, we could've had,
0:03:06 > 0:03:07which my screen tells me
0:03:07 > 0:03:09is an awkward social convention.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I think that's the question writer
0:03:11 > 0:03:12speaking from experience there.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Well done. Coming in after
0:03:14 > 0:03:15three clues, you get two points.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Snake Charmers, what would you like?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Well, as we are the Snake Charmers, could we have Two Reeds, please?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22That makes perfect sense. Two Reeds for you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Ties from Nottinghamshire.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29THEY WHISPER
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Next, please.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34The second Mrs Lineker from Buckinghamshire.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Is it going to be all the same thing?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39His wife, I don't know what she's called.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- We have to go next, I think.- Yep. - Next, please.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44SHE WHISPERS
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Harts, harts!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Hearts?- Deer are harts.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Oh, cos is it...?- Oh, and knots. - Knots from Nottinghamshire. Right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Bucks. Yep.- OK.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00So they are all something from something that sounds the same.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03So deer from Hertfordshire are harts from Herts.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Ties from Nottinghamshire are knots from Notts.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07And things like that.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09You're obviously right and I'm going
0:04:09 > 0:04:10to give you two points as well.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12You didn't need to see the last clue.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14What it is, is they are
0:04:14 > 0:04:16county abbreviations
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and a clue to a synonym for that. So ties could be called knots,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21like Notts, the abbreviation for Nottinghamshire.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Gary Lineker's second wife, Danielle Bux, from Bucks.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25And deer are harts.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And a wild cat from Lincolnshire would be?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- A lynx.- Lynx, of course.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29So well spotted - a word question -
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and you get two points as well.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Back to you, Extras. What would you like?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- We'd like the Eye of Horus, please.- The Eye of Horus.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Everyone listening out for the
0:04:37 > 0:04:39jingle of the music question.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Not yet. What is the connection between these clues?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Here's the first.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48THEY WHISPER
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Do you know anything for names of a place?- No.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Next, please.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Bronze bread.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Golden... Golden apple.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Next, please.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Maybe it's something like colours or something.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It's too obvious.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Large white apple, what could a large white apple be?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Some kind of noble? Some kind of statue?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Next, please.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Hereford horseradish.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20HE WHISPERS
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Two seconds.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25All of these things are not actually what they are.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So large white apple is not an apple.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Bronze bread is not actually bread.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- That's the connection. - Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34So, Snake Charmers, you have the chance for a bonus point.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Are they all carrots?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37They are not all carrots.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Now, Extras, you're right,
0:05:39 > 0:05:40they don't really exist,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42but what they are is something else,
0:05:42 > 0:05:46and this is a very nice, cryptic Only Connect question.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48At the top is a breed of animal -
0:05:48 > 0:05:50the Large White pig, the Bronze turkey,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Suffolk is the kind of sheep, Hereford - a cow.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Underneath, a sauce with which you might eat it.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56It's not a question for vegans,
0:05:56 > 0:05:57I'll be honest with you.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's not for vegans. The question writer here,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01bloodthirsty, he's thinking
0:06:01 > 0:06:02that Large White might be delicious
0:06:02 > 0:06:03with apple sauce,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Bronze turkey with bread sauce,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Suffolk sheep or lamb with mint sauce
0:06:07 > 0:06:09and Hereford with horseradish.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10No bonus, then, Snake Charmers,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12but you may choose a hieroglyph.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Can we have Lion, please? - You absolutely could.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15JINGLE There it is.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The music question. You will be hearing the clues.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20What connects them? The first one is coming in now.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24# Back since the days of old Methuselah
0:06:24 > 0:06:26# Everyone loves the big bamboozler... #
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Razzle Dazzle.- Next, please.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33YODELING
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Is this...?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Is this the Tralalala song?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38No, it's not.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40OK. Next, please.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41# Wop bop a-loo, bop a-lop ba ba!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43# I've got a girl named Sue... #
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Oh, it's...- Yeah, the...- Yeah. - # She knows just what to do. #
0:06:48 > 0:06:49They have two-word titles
0:06:49 > 0:06:51where they've just changed the first letter
0:06:51 > 0:06:53of the first word to get the second word.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55So, like Razzle Dazzle, Tutti Frutti, they rhyme.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I'll accept it - they do change it in Tutti Frutti,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00but they change it for two letters, don't they? T to an FR.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02But rhyming titles. What did we hear?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05We heard Razzle Dazzle and Tutti Frutti,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07and something else is the second one.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You don't know the great Dutch
0:07:09 > 0:07:10prog rock number Hocus Pocus?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12No, strangely!
0:07:12 > 0:07:13That's what that was.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16They all rhyme, and they do change the first letter
0:07:16 > 0:07:18in the third case to two letters,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20but well done.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23We don't often get an early buzz on the music question. Well quizzed.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Back to you, Extras, for a choice.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- We'd like to go with Water, please.- Water, OK.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37THEY WHISPER
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Next, please.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43THEY WHISPER
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Manuel. Or something else? - Yeah, Manuel.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Fawlty Towers?- Yes!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Is that a...?- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Characters in Fawlty Towers.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Good brave early buzz.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02They share their names with
0:08:02 > 0:08:03the staff of the great hotel
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Fawlty Towers. Very well done.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Talk me through the clues. - The first one is Manuel Noriega.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Mm-hm.- And the second one is Polly Toynbee.- Who are these people?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Manuel Noriega, I think, was the dictator in Panama.- That's right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- And Polly Toynbee... - Guardian columnist.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Guardian columnist, that's right.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23What about the clues you didn't need to see?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Last one is Basil Rathbone. - That's right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Basil Rathbone played Sherlock Holmes in many films.- Yeah.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- And you know clue three?- Sybil?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32It's Dame Sybil Thorndike,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34the actress, yes. Very well done.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Three points for the early buzz.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Back on you, Snake Charmers,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39for the last question of the round.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It will be the Horned Viper, and it is the picture question.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45What connects these picture clues? Here's the first.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Next, please.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- That's Hugh Dennis. - Hugh Dennis, Merkel...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Angela, Hugh...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Next, please.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02That's Theresa, Theresa May,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06so we've got Dennis May...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09No. Or Angela Hugh...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Theresa... Are they characters from something?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Go next?- Yeah.- Next, please.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Austens.- Austen...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20KATE WHISPERS
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- What? - THEY WHISPER
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Two seconds.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28The Mitford sisters.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29I like it. I mean, often the
0:09:29 > 0:09:31connection is the Mitford sisters,
0:09:31 > 0:09:32but sadly for you, not in this case.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Extras, you've the chance of a bonus point.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37We will go the Bronte sisters.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Well, that's not it either, though
0:09:39 > 0:09:41the fourth clue is the Bronte sisters. No.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Now, I think you probably do know
0:09:43 > 0:09:45the answer to this,
0:09:45 > 0:09:46it's just a case of finding it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48It is just the lateral thinking.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50They are the children of clergy.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53All of them had parents in the clergy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Angela Merkel, a Protestant pastor was her father.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Hugh Dennis' father was a bishop.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58They say that quite often
0:09:58 > 0:10:00about Hugh Dennis' father.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Theresa May, of course, clergyman's daughter. And the Brontes...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Patrick Bronte was the perpetual
0:10:04 > 0:10:06curate of Haworth for 41 years.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08So not that perpetual.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Do you know how Charlotte Bronte
0:10:10 > 0:10:11spent her first earnings?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Was it on a pet snake?- It was not.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- It was on dentistry.- Oh!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I considered spending
0:10:17 > 0:10:18my first earnings on dentistry,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20but as you can see, I chose not to.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22That means, at the end of Round One,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24the Snake Charmers have four points,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26the Extras have five.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Onto Round Two, the sequences round.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33This time, the teams may see a maximum of three clues,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36because I want to know what would come fourth in a sequence.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Extras, you'll be going first again.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Please choose a hieroglyph.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41We'll go with the Twisted Flax.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42The Twisted Flax. OK.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44These clues will come in a sequence,
0:10:44 > 0:10:45you need to work out the sequence
0:10:45 > 0:10:47and then tell me what would come fourth.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49And the first one is coming in now.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Single Olympic winners, probably.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Let's see where they go with it. - We'll wait for the next one.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01THEY WHISPER
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Next, please.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Nicole Cooke.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09Owain.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- 2016, obviously.- 2016. - Individual goals.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17No, it could be the other cyclist.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20No, Laura something whose husband is...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Next, please.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- So 2016.- Two seconds.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Oh, I'm afraid the clock's run down. The time is up.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34So bonus chance for you again,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Snake Charmers.
0:11:35 > 0:11:382016, Jason Kenny.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40That's not it.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- What do you think the sequence is? - Most medals won by...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46A British, a Team GB athlete in a single Olympics.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's not most medals,
0:11:48 > 0:11:49it's the first medals.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51These are the people who won
0:11:51 > 0:11:53the first gold medals for Team GB
0:11:53 > 0:11:55at those Olympic Games.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Chris Hoy and Nicole Cooke, cyclists.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Helen Glover and Heather Stanning,
0:11:58 > 0:11:59that wasn't actually cycling.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Do you know the sport?- Rowing.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It was the rowing, the women's pair. That's absolutely right.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Adam Peaty, the 100m breast stroke
0:12:05 > 0:12:06was our first medal in 2016.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Which question would you like for yourselves?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Could we have Eye of Horus, please? - You certainly could.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- That's Madagascar, I think. - Yeah, and four.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Four.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Next.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Three.- Madagascar...
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It's number of syllables and the name of islands.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29New Zealand.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33So... What's an island nation that's one syllable?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38There's got to be something. Um...
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Or else they wouldn't make the question.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- I can't think of one.- Just say...
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Yeah, if you can't think of one.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56A one on a picture of an island nation
0:12:56 > 0:12:58with one syllable in its name.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Now, because
0:13:01 > 0:13:03this is your opening heat...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06..I am going to give it to you.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07And I'll tell you why.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09You have made the question
0:13:09 > 0:13:11more specific than you needed to.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12It doesn't need to be an island.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I know you know what the sequence is,
0:13:14 > 0:13:15but the sequence is just
0:13:15 > 0:13:17syllables in country names.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18You have correctly identified
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Madagascar for four syllables,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22New Zealand for three.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25At clue three, we had Poland
0:13:25 > 0:13:26for two syllables, so actually
0:13:26 > 0:13:27it could have been any country.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30If you can tell me a country whose name is one syllable...
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- France.- France. Chad. Spain.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Or, my screen tells me,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Laos or Wales.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37But, yes, it's one syllable country name.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39But because you spotted the sequence
0:13:39 > 0:13:41and refined it too far,
0:13:41 > 0:13:42the extra cleverness
0:13:42 > 0:13:44gets you the points. Well done.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Extras, back to you for a choice.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48We'd like to go for the Water, please.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51The Water question, OK. What would come fourth in this sequence?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Here's the first.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Largest red.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59THEY WHISPER
0:13:59 > 0:14:01OK. Next, please.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Second largest, mauve-purple.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Something fourth largest, obviously. - Yeah.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Any guesses?
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Next, please.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Second smallest, orange brown.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Is this snooker... Snooker balls?
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- They aren't different sizes. What else is different sizes?- Planets.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Planets?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31These are the colours in which the planets...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I want to know what comes fourth
0:14:33 > 0:14:35in the sequence.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Yellow. Fourth... Smallest, yellow.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I can't accept it, I'm afraid,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42so another bonus chance for you,
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Snake Charmers.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Smallest, white.- Not it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Smallest, turquoise-blue.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I might have taken green.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51This is a question about banknotes.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's the colours of current banknotes in England and Wales,
0:14:54 > 0:14:55the largest, the £50 note, red.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57The second largest, mauve-purple,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59£20 note. A tenner, orange brown.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01And I wanted to hear smallest,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03turquoise-blue for the £5 note.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04So nobody spotted that one.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Snake charmers, your own question.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Can we have Two Reeds, please? - You certainly can.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:15:12 > 0:15:158: tune. Like octave?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- An octave tune? I'll go next.- Yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Next, please.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Erm...
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Oh! No, it's planets.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Because it's Neptune, Uranus
0:15:25 > 0:15:27and then Saturn, Jupiter.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29So they're missing the first...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32It's either the last four letters or...
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Oh, no, it's the last four letters,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35so it's going to be
0:15:35 > 0:15:36i-t-e-r.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Are we happy?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40- Yeah, I'm happy.- Mm-hm.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41BELL
0:15:41 > 0:15:445: iter.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Is the right answer. Very well done.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47What's happening here?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49We are going in words
0:15:49 > 0:15:50with the planets from Neptune,
0:15:50 > 0:15:51but only showing
0:15:51 > 0:15:52the last four letters.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Last four letters of planets
0:15:54 > 0:15:55moving towards the sun.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I mean, quite clearly the question writer has come up with this
0:15:58 > 0:16:01because he wanted to put the word "anus" on-screen.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03This is what you need to know about our question writers.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04They are the kind of people
0:16:04 > 0:16:06that in their 40s still type
0:16:06 > 0:16:078-0-0-8-5 into a calculator
0:16:07 > 0:16:09because it says "boobs."
0:16:09 > 0:16:10I mean, they are so delighted
0:16:10 > 0:16:12that those clues have come up quite...
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You know, it's simply planets! Don't write in.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15It's simply the names of planets
0:16:15 > 0:16:17with the first letters taken off
0:16:17 > 0:16:18moving towards the sun.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20A rigorously intellectual question.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Very well spotted over there.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Back to you, Extras, for a choice.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Er... We'd like to go for the Lion, please.- OK, the Lion is all yours.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29What would come fourth
0:16:29 > 0:16:31in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:16:32 > 0:16:3425%...
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- In its bag.- Hmm?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- You'd use a bag.- What? - You normally use a bag.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Next, please.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44ABBA: 50%...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47The number of letters that are common? B-B-B?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- The word A. 100%.- Two As.- Yes.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- BELL - The word... 100 and...- No.- Yes!
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- 100% A.- Hello?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Er...- Letter.- The letter A. 100%.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Colon 100%.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03And why would that be?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- The percentage...- Percentage of As
0:17:05 > 0:17:07in the name of the band.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08I'm afraid that is not
0:17:08 > 0:17:10mathematically correct because there are seven letters in Garbage.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's not the answer. I was thinking
0:17:12 > 0:17:13whether I could give it to you,
0:17:13 > 0:17:14but 25% of the letters
0:17:14 > 0:17:15in Garbage aren't As,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16so I must show the third
0:17:16 > 0:17:18in the sequence
0:17:18 > 0:17:19to the Snake Charmers
0:17:19 > 0:17:20for a possible bonus.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Er... The Beatles: 100%.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Why do you say that?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28It's the proportion of...
0:17:28 > 0:17:29It's four-piece bands
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and it's the proportion that's either men or women
0:17:31 > 0:17:33And I wasn't sure which way to go.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35What do you know about the make up of The Corrs?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Er... Not very much...
0:17:36 > 0:17:37- I see.- ..as it turns out.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, you're right, but it's women.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40You guessed the wrong way.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41The Corrs are Andrea, Caroline,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Sharon and Jim. So 75% female.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Garbage, one female member.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47ABBA - two, of course.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49So we need a four-piece band,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51100% female.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52We went with Little Mix
0:17:52 > 0:17:54who won The X factor. Unlucky.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57So, you don't get the bonus, but you do get the last question,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59the Horned Viper waiting there at the end again
0:17:59 > 0:18:01coiled up in the laundry basket waiting for you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- Science.- It could be anything.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Next.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- STEM?- Yeah.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- What's M?- Mathematics.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You did it, Tom!
0:18:15 > 0:18:16BELL
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Mathematics.- Is the right answer.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20And what's happening in this sequence?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It's the STEM subjects.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23That's absolutely right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Science, technology, engineering mathematics - the STEM subjects.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Very well done.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And that means at the end of Round Two, the Extras have five points.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32The Snake Charmers have 13.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Time for the Connecting Wall now.
0:18:36 > 0:18:3916 jumbled up clues that the teams need to sort
0:18:39 > 0:18:41into four connected groups of four.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You'll be going first this time, Snake Charmers.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Would you like Lion or Water?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Could we have Lion, please? - Yes, you could.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52You've got two and a half minutes to solve the Lion wall starting now.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55OK, so there are crested penguins.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Oh, we've got characters from Buffy. - Oh, yes, of course!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Xander, Willow... - Spike, Giles, Angel.- Yep.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- Finally, Buffy comes up! - There is also...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Bearded Dragon, crested dragon... Oh, setter, Searle...
0:19:08 > 0:19:10So, what are the penguins?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Are they penguins?- I don't know. They're somethings.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Er... There's also Gerald Scarfe. Is that his name?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The cartoonist who did The Wall.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19You get a red setter...
0:19:20 > 0:19:21A weeping willow.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Oh, bearded tit, willow tits,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- bluetit, crested tits.- Yup.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Three lives now. Choose with care.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Searle... Searle is a name of someone.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34There are names here.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Brookes, Scarfe, Searle...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Soft block?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Soft block, it sounds like a way of doing something.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Erm...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Kitchen tidy...
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Dig in...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Red setter?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51What's Libero? Do we know?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Is that...? Oh, is that an app?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54- Is Libero an app?- Could be. - Could be.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Anagrams or anything?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Erm...- Soft block could be an anagram.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Hmm... No, it's not.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I'm fairly sure it's not.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Could be an anagram, make it interesting.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I think these two are...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Oh, these three I think are all cartoonists.- OK.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13So Libero is probably the last one.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14- Probably.- Setter, Dig...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Although it could be Setter.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I mean, we've got three lives, don't we? So...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You've got a minute left.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Let's go for them.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- OK, I'm going to try them.- Yeah.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30One more life.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Erm...- Shall we try Scarfe with the others then?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So that's our last...
0:20:37 > 0:20:39So...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Shall we try it without...? Did we try it without Libero?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Yeah.- OK.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Erm... I think... So...
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Just go for what you think.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Erm...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Hey!- Brilliant! - You've solved the Wall.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Very well done.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58So that's four points for the groups
0:20:58 > 0:21:00and I'll give you more points for the connections.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05The first blue group - Xander or Ex-ander, Giles, Angel, Spike.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08These are all characters from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Apparently so. You said, "At last, Buffy comes up!"
0:21:10 > 0:21:13It's the only thing I know so much about.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It's, like, my provisional Mastermind category.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Well, I'm delighted to be of service there.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22And the green group - crested, blue, willow, bearded.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24These are all tits.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's absolutely Christmas in the question setters' department.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28They are delighted. They are all tits.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Crested, blue, willow and bearded. Well done.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35And the next group - Soft block, Dig, Libero, Setter.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Crosswords?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- They are terms in volleyball.- Oh.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42They don't play volleyball in Buffy. That must be it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44And the turquoise group at the end there -
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Brookes, Scarfe, Tidy, Searle.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49I believe these are all cartoonists.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51They are cartoonists.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Peter Brookes in The Times, Gerald Scarfe,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55the great Bill Tidy you weren't sure about,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58And Ronald Searle. He did the St Trinian's drawings.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01All cartoonists. So, that is four points for the groups,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04three more for the connections. That is a total of seven.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Let's bring the Extras in now, give them the other Connecting Wall
0:22:07 > 0:22:09and see what they can do about solving it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10You'll be getting the Water wall.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14You have two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Pocket, lozenge...- Type of cut?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Like brilliant diamond. All these are cuts of diamond.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Lozenge is maybe one.- Antwerp Rose.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30OK, black spot, baize... Snooker terms.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Snooker terms.- Pocket.- Pocket.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33- And... Cushion?- Cushion.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Try something else.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36OK, these are all Dickens characters.
