What do ghosts eat?

0:00:210:00:23

Well, the ancient Greeks believed that the ghosts of their dead roamed

0:00:230:00:26

for an eternity, consuming fields of the grey-white flower asphodel.

0:00:260:00:31

Conversely, in Taoist parts of Asia,

0:00:310:00:34

relatives lay out gifts of rice and bread

0:00:340:00:36

for the spirits of their loved ones.

0:00:360:00:38

Meanwhile, in the modern Western tradition,

0:00:380:00:41

ghosts eat mainly goul-ash, dreaded wheat and spook-ghetti.

0:00:410:00:44

So it all depends on your culture.

0:00:440:00:47

Quizzing tonight, on my right...

0:00:470:00:50

Thomas Rychlik,

0:00:500:00:52

a software engineer who sings in a choir and enjoys fire dancing.

0:00:520:00:56

Kate Pfeffer, an English graduate

0:00:560:00:59

with a passion for interesting zoological facts.

0:00:590:01:02

And their captain, John Howe,

0:01:020:01:04

a PhD student who owns a significant collection of empty port bottles.

0:01:040:01:09

United by a soft spot for serpents,

0:01:090:01:11

they are the Snake Charmers.

0:01:110:01:12

Are you all snake owners? Do they make nice pets?

0:01:120:01:14

No, Kate's the only one

0:01:140:01:16

who's a snake...who has a pet snake,

0:01:160:01:18

but Tom and Kate bonded

0:01:180:01:19

over building a snake box

0:01:190:01:21

that I have driven Kate to get from the shop,

0:01:210:01:23

so it's an important part of the lives of the three of us.

0:01:230:01:27

A heart-warming tale.

0:01:270:01:29

Welcome to the show.

0:01:290:01:30

You are playing against tonight, on my left...

0:01:300:01:32

Vikram Vasu,

0:01:320:01:34

a financial services professional with a passion for London Transport

0:01:340:01:37

who enjoys watching time-lapse videos of London bus routes.

0:01:370:01:41

Shrikant Narasimhan, an analytics

0:01:410:01:44

consultant who once played the part

0:01:440:01:45

of a cynical, middle-aged tea vendor on a train.

0:01:450:01:49

And their captain, Vinod Ganesh,

0:01:490:01:51

a financial analyst who used

0:01:510:01:53

a series of ten quiz questions to propose to his wife.

0:01:530:01:57

All experienced background actors,

0:01:570:01:59

they are the Extras.

0:01:590:02:00

Front of stage tonight - how are the nerves getting to you?

0:02:000:02:03

We're just glad there is a lot of water on the table.

0:02:030:02:06

Well, good luck.

0:02:060:02:07

You won the toss, Snake Charmers,

0:02:070:02:08

but in your first fiendish move,

0:02:080:02:10

you decided to put your opponents

0:02:100:02:11

in first. So, Extras,

0:02:110:02:12

please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:02:120:02:15

We'd like the Twisted Flax, please.

0:02:150:02:16

The Twisted Flax will be the first question of tonight's show.

0:02:160:02:20

What is the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:02:200:02:23

Shout "next" when you want another one.

0:02:230:02:24

Here's a first.

0:02:240:02:26

Bubble. Types of wrap.

0:02:270:02:29

Types of bath. Types of tea.

0:02:290:02:32

Next.

0:02:320:02:33

-Indemnity.

-Double, double!

-What does "double" mean?

0:02:340:02:37

Double indemnity.

0:02:370:02:39

-What is a double bubble, you know?

-It's something.

0:02:390:02:41

OK. You want to go for another one?

0:02:410:02:43

Next.

0:02:430:02:44

Yes, that's it.

0:02:450:02:46

All of these can be prefixed by the word "double".

0:02:480:02:51

Absolutely right. You didn't need

0:02:510:02:52

to see the last one, entendre.

0:02:520:02:54

Can you think of a good double entendre, or shall I give you one?

0:02:540:02:56

I'm just joking.

0:02:560:02:57

They can all be preceded by double.

0:02:570:02:59

Double Dutch. Double bubble -

0:02:590:03:01

that's the sort of way being paid double time.

0:03:010:03:03

Double indemnity.

0:03:030:03:05

Double dating, we could've had,

0:03:050:03:06

which my screen tells me

0:03:060:03:07

is an awkward social convention.

0:03:070:03:09

I think that's the question writer

0:03:090:03:11

speaking from experience there.

0:03:110:03:12

Well done. Coming in after

0:03:120:03:14

three clues, you get two points.

0:03:140:03:15

Snake Charmers, what would you like?

0:03:150:03:17

Well, as we are the Snake Charmers, could we have Two Reeds, please?

0:03:170:03:19

That makes perfect sense. Two Reeds for you.

0:03:190:03:22

What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.

0:03:220:03:26

Ties from Nottinghamshire.

0:03:260:03:27

THEY WHISPER

0:03:270:03:29

Next, please.

0:03:290:03:31

The second Mrs Lineker from Buckinghamshire.

0:03:310:03:34

Is it going to be all the same thing?

0:03:340:03:36

His wife, I don't know what she's called.

0:03:360:03:39

-We have to go next, I think.

-Yep.

-Next, please.

0:03:390:03:41

SHE WHISPERS

0:03:420:03:44

Harts, harts!

0:03:440:03:46

-Hearts?

-Deer are harts.

0:03:470:03:49

-Oh, cos is it...?

-Oh, and knots.

-Knots from Nottinghamshire. Right.

0:03:510:03:54

-Bucks. Yep.

-OK.

0:03:540:03:56

So they are all something from something that sounds the same.

0:03:570:04:00

So deer from Hertfordshire are harts from Herts.

0:04:000:04:03

Ties from Nottinghamshire are knots from Notts.

0:04:030:04:06

And things like that.

0:04:060:04:07

You're obviously right and I'm going

0:04:070:04:09

to give you two points as well.

0:04:090:04:10

You didn't need to see the last clue.

0:04:100:04:12

What it is, is they are

0:04:120:04:14

county abbreviations

0:04:140:04:16

and a clue to a synonym for that. So ties could be called knots,

0:04:160:04:18

like Notts, the abbreviation for Nottinghamshire.

0:04:180:04:21

Gary Lineker's second wife, Danielle Bux, from Bucks.

0:04:210:04:24

And deer are harts.

0:04:240:04:25

And a wild cat from Lincolnshire would be?

0:04:250:04:27

-A lynx.

-Lynx, of course.

0:04:270:04:28

So well spotted - a word question -

0:04:280:04:29

and you get two points as well.

0:04:290:04:31

Back to you, Extras. What would you like?

0:04:310:04:33

-We'd like the Eye of Horus, please.

-The Eye of Horus.

0:04:330:04:36

Everyone listening out for the

0:04:360:04:37

jingle of the music question.

0:04:370:04:39

Not yet. What is the connection between these clues?

0:04:390:04:41

Here's the first.

0:04:410:04:42

THEY WHISPER

0:04:450:04:48

-Do you know anything for names of a place?

-No.

0:04:480:04:50

Next, please.

0:04:500:04:51

Bronze bread.

0:04:530:04:55

Golden... Golden apple.

0:04:550:04:59

Next, please.

0:04:590:05:00

Maybe it's something like colours or something.

0:05:020:05:05

It's too obvious.

0:05:050:05:07

Large white apple, what could a large white apple be?

0:05:070:05:09

Some kind of noble? Some kind of statue?

0:05:090:05:12

Next, please.

0:05:120:05:13

Hereford horseradish.

0:05:150:05:17

HE WHISPERS

0:05:170:05:20

Two seconds.

0:05:200:05:21

All of these things are not actually what they are.

0:05:220:05:25

So large white apple is not an apple.

0:05:250:05:27

Bronze bread is not actually bread.

0:05:270:05:29

-That's the connection.

-Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:05:290:05:32

So, Snake Charmers, you have the chance for a bonus point.

0:05:320:05:34

Are they all carrots?

0:05:340:05:35

They are not all carrots.

0:05:350:05:37

Now, Extras, you're right,

0:05:370:05:39

they don't really exist,

0:05:390:05:40

but what they are is something else,

0:05:400:05:42

and this is a very nice, cryptic Only Connect question.

0:05:420:05:46

At the top is a breed of animal -

0:05:460:05:48

the Large White pig, the Bronze turkey,

0:05:480:05:50

Suffolk is the kind of sheep, Hereford - a cow.

0:05:500:05:52

Underneath, a sauce with which you might eat it.

0:05:520:05:55

It's not a question for vegans,

0:05:550:05:56

I'll be honest with you.

0:05:560:05:57

It's not for vegans. The question writer here,

0:05:570:05:59

bloodthirsty, he's thinking

0:05:590:06:01

that Large White might be delicious

0:06:010:06:02

with apple sauce,

0:06:020:06:03

Bronze turkey with bread sauce,

0:06:030:06:05

Suffolk sheep or lamb with mint sauce

0:06:050:06:07

and Hereford with horseradish.

0:06:070:06:09

No bonus, then, Snake Charmers,

0:06:090:06:10

but you may choose a hieroglyph.

0:06:100:06:12

-Can we have Lion, please?

-You absolutely could.

0:06:120:06:14

JINGLE There it is.

0:06:140:06:15

The music question. You will be hearing the clues.

0:06:150:06:18

What connects them? The first one is coming in now.

0:06:180:06:20

# Back since the days of old Methuselah

0:06:200:06:24

# Everyone loves the big bamboozler... #

0:06:240:06:26

-Razzle Dazzle.

-Next, please.

0:06:260:06:29

YODELING

0:06:290:06:33

Is this...?

0:06:330:06:35

Is this the Tralalala song?

0:06:350:06:36

No, it's not.

0:06:360:06:38

OK. Next, please.

0:06:380:06:40

# Wop bop a-loo, bop a-lop ba ba!

0:06:400:06:41

# I've got a girl named Sue... #

0:06:410:06:43

-Oh, it's...

-Yeah, the...

-Yeah.

-# She knows just what to do. #

0:06:430:06:46

They have two-word titles

0:06:480:06:49

where they've just changed the first letter

0:06:490:06:51

of the first word to get the second word.

0:06:510:06:53

So, like Razzle Dazzle, Tutti Frutti, they rhyme.

0:06:530:06:55

I'll accept it - they do change it in Tutti Frutti,

0:06:550:06:58

but they change it for two letters, don't they? T to an FR.

0:06:580:07:00

But rhyming titles. What did we hear?

0:07:000:07:02

We heard Razzle Dazzle and Tutti Frutti,

0:07:020:07:05

and something else is the second one.

0:07:050:07:07

You don't know the great Dutch

0:07:070:07:09

prog rock number Hocus Pocus?

0:07:090:07:10

No, strangely!

0:07:100:07:12

That's what that was.

0:07:120:07:13

They all rhyme, and they do change the first letter

0:07:130:07:16

in the third case to two letters,

0:07:160:07:18

but well done.

0:07:180:07:20

We don't often get an early buzz on the music question. Well quizzed.

0:07:200:07:23

Back to you, Extras, for a choice.

0:07:230:07:25

-We'd like to go with Water, please.

-Water, OK.

0:07:250:07:28

What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.

0:07:280:07:31

THEY WHISPER

0:07:340:07:37

Next, please.

0:07:370:07:38

THEY WHISPER

0:07:410:07:43

-Manuel. Or something else?

-Yeah, Manuel.

0:07:450:07:48

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:07:480:07:51

-Fawlty Towers?

-Yes!

0:07:510:07:53

-Is that a...?

-Yeah.

0:07:530:07:55

Characters in Fawlty Towers.

0:07:560:07:58

Good brave early buzz.

0:07:580:08:00

They share their names with

0:08:000:08:02

the staff of the great hotel

0:08:020:08:03

Fawlty Towers. Very well done.

0:08:030:08:06

-Talk me through the clues.

-The first one is Manuel Noriega.

0:08:060:08:09

-Mm-hm.

-And the second one is Polly Toynbee.

-Who are these people?

0:08:090:08:13

-Manuel Noriega, I think, was the dictator in Panama.

-That's right.

0:08:130:08:17

-And Polly Toynbee...

-Guardian columnist.

0:08:170:08:19

Guardian columnist, that's right.

0:08:190:08:21

What about the clues you didn't need to see?

0:08:210:08:23

-Last one is Basil Rathbone.

-That's right.

0:08:230:08:26

-Basil Rathbone played Sherlock Holmes in many films.

-Yeah.

0:08:260:08:28

-And you know clue three?

-Sybil?

0:08:280:08:31

It's Dame Sybil Thorndike,

0:08:310:08:32

the actress, yes. Very well done.

0:08:320:08:34

Three points for the early buzz.

0:08:340:08:36

Back on you, Snake Charmers,

0:08:360:08:37

for the last question of the round.

0:08:370:08:39

It will be the Horned Viper, and it is the picture question.

0:08:390:08:42

What connects these picture clues? Here's the first.

0:08:420:08:45

Next, please.

0:08:470:08:48

-That's Hugh Dennis.

-Hugh Dennis, Merkel...

0:08:500:08:53

Angela, Hugh...

0:08:530:08:56

Next, please.

0:08:570:08:59

That's Theresa, Theresa May,

0:08:590:09:02

so we've got Dennis May...

0:09:020:09:06

No. Or Angela Hugh...

0:09:060:09:09

Theresa... Are they characters from something?

0:09:090:09:12

-Go next?

-Yeah.

-Next, please.

0:09:120:09:14

-Austens.

-Austen...

0:09:150:09:18

KATE WHISPERS

0:09:180:09:20

-What?

-THEY WHISPER

0:09:200:09:22

Two seconds.

0:09:220:09:24

The Mitford sisters.

0:09:270:09:28

I like it. I mean, often the

0:09:280:09:29

connection is the Mitford sisters,

0:09:290:09:31

but sadly for you, not in this case.

0:09:310:09:32

Extras, you've the chance of a bonus point.

0:09:320:09:35

We will go the Bronte sisters.

0:09:350:09:37

Well, that's not it either, though

0:09:370:09:39

the fourth clue is the Bronte sisters. No.

0:09:390:09:41

Now, I think you probably do know

0:09:410:09:43

the answer to this,

0:09:430:09:45

it's just a case of finding it.

0:09:450:09:46

It is just the lateral thinking.

0:09:460:09:48

They are the children of clergy.

0:09:480:09:50

All of them had parents in the clergy.

0:09:510:09:53

Angela Merkel, a Protestant pastor was her father.

0:09:530:09:56

Hugh Dennis' father was a bishop.

0:09:560:09:57

They say that quite often

0:09:570:09:58

about Hugh Dennis' father.

0:09:580:10:00

Theresa May, of course, clergyman's daughter. And the Brontes...

0:10:000:10:02

Patrick Bronte was the perpetual

0:10:020:10:04

curate of Haworth for 41 years.

0:10:040:10:06

So not that perpetual.

0:10:060:10:08

Do you know how Charlotte Bronte

0:10:080:10:10

spent her first earnings?

0:10:100:10:11

-Was it on a pet snake?

-It was not.

0:10:110:10:13

-It was on dentistry.

-Oh!

0:10:130:10:15

I considered spending

0:10:150:10:17

my first earnings on dentistry,

0:10:170:10:18

but as you can see, I chose not to.

0:10:180:10:20

That means, at the end of Round One,

0:10:200:10:22

the Snake Charmers have four points,

0:10:220:10:24

the Extras have five.

0:10:240:10:26

Onto Round Two, the sequences round.

0:10:290:10:30

This time, the teams may see a maximum of three clues,

0:10:300:10:33

because I want to know what would come fourth in a sequence.

0:10:330:10:36

Extras, you'll be going first again.

0:10:360:10:38

Please choose a hieroglyph.

0:10:380:10:39

We'll go with the Twisted Flax.

0:10:390:10:41

The Twisted Flax. OK.

0:10:410:10:42

These clues will come in a sequence,

0:10:420:10:44

you need to work out the sequence

0:10:440:10:45

and then tell me what would come fourth.

0:10:450:10:47

And the first one is coming in now.

0:10:470:10:49

Single Olympic winners, probably.

0:10:520:10:55

-Let's see where they go with it.

-We'll wait for the next one.

0:10:550:10:58

THEY WHISPER

0:10:580:11:01

Next, please.

0:11:010:11:03

Nicole Cooke.

0:11:040:11:05

So it is something from 2012. No, 2016.

0:11:050:11:08

Owain.

0:11:080:11:09

-2016, obviously.

-2016.

-Individual goals.

0:11:090:11:12

No, it could be the other cyclist.

0:11:150:11:17

No, Laura something whose husband is...

0:11:170:11:20

Next, please.

0:11:210:11:23

-So 2016.

-Two seconds.

0:11:260:11:28

Oh, I'm afraid the clock's run down. The time is up.

0:11:300:11:32

So bonus chance for you again,

0:11:320:11:34

Snake Charmers.

0:11:340:11:35

2016, Jason Kenny.

0:11:350:11:38

That's not it.

0:11:380:11:40

-What do you think the sequence is?

-Most medals won by...

0:11:400:11:44

A British, a Team GB athlete in a single Olympics.

0:11:440:11:46

It's not most medals,

0:11:460:11:48

it's the first medals.

0:11:480:11:49

These are the people who won

0:11:490:11:51

the first gold medals for Team GB

0:11:510:11:53

at those Olympic Games.

0:11:530:11:55

Chris Hoy and Nicole Cooke, cyclists.

0:11:550:11:57

Helen Glover and Heather Stanning,

0:11:570:11:58

that wasn't actually cycling.

0:11:580:11:59

-Do you know the sport?

-Rowing.

0:11:590:12:01

It was the rowing, the women's pair. That's absolutely right.

0:12:010:12:03

Adam Peaty, the 100m breast stroke

0:12:030:12:05

was our first medal in 2016.

0:12:050:12:06

Which question would you like for yourselves?

0:12:080:12:10

-Could we have Eye of Horus, please?

-You certainly could.

0:12:100:12:12

What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:12:120:12:15

-That's Madagascar, I think.

-Yeah, and four.

0:12:160:12:19

Four.

0:12:190:12:21

Next.

0:12:210:12:22

-Three.

-Madagascar...

0:12:230:12:25

It's number of syllables and the name of islands.

0:12:250:12:28

New Zealand.

0:12:280:12:29

So... What's an island nation that's one syllable?

0:12:300:12:33

There's got to be something. Um...

0:12:360:12:38

Or else they wouldn't make the question.

0:12:380:12:41

-I can't think of one.

-Just say...

0:12:430:12:47

Yeah, if you can't think of one.

0:12:480:12:50

A one on a picture of an island nation

0:12:540:12:56

with one syllable in its name.

0:12:560:12:58

Now, because

0:12:580:13:01

this is your opening heat...

0:13:010:13:03

..I am going to give it to you.

0:13:040:13:06

And I'll tell you why.

0:13:060:13:07

You have made the question

0:13:070:13:09

more specific than you needed to.

0:13:090:13:11

It doesn't need to be an island.

0:13:110:13:12

I know you know what the sequence is,

0:13:120:13:14

but the sequence is just

0:13:140:13:15

syllables in country names.

0:13:150:13:17

You have correctly identified

0:13:170:13:18

Madagascar for four syllables,

0:13:180:13:20

New Zealand for three.

0:13:200:13:22

At clue three, we had Poland

0:13:220:13:25

for two syllables, so actually

0:13:250:13:26

it could have been any country.

0:13:260:13:27

If you can tell me a country whose name is one syllable...

0:13:270:13:30

-France.

-France. Chad. Spain.

0:13:300:13:32

Or, my screen tells me,

0:13:320:13:33

Laos or Wales.

0:13:330:13:35

But, yes, it's one syllable country name.

0:13:350:13:37

But because you spotted the sequence

0:13:370:13:39

and refined it too far,

0:13:390:13:41

the extra cleverness

0:13:410:13:42

gets you the points. Well done.

0:13:420:13:44

Extras, back to you for a choice.

0:13:440:13:46

We'd like to go for the Water, please.

0:13:460:13:48

The Water question, OK. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:13:480:13:51

Here's the first.

0:13:510:13:54

Largest red.

0:13:540:13:56

THEY WHISPER

0:13:560:13:59

OK. Next, please.

0:13:590:14:01

Second largest, mauve-purple.

0:14:030:14:05

-Something fourth largest, obviously.

-Yeah.

0:14:070:14:09

Any guesses?

0:14:090:14:12

Next, please.

0:14:120:14:13

Second smallest, orange brown.

0:14:150:14:17

Is this snooker... Snooker balls?

0:14:170:14:20

-They aren't different sizes. What else is different sizes?

-Planets.

0:14:200:14:25

Planets?

0:14:250:14:26

These are the colours in which the planets...

0:14:280:14:31

I want to know what comes fourth

0:14:310:14:33

in the sequence.

0:14:330:14:35

Yellow. Fourth... Smallest, yellow.

0:14:350:14:38

I can't accept it, I'm afraid,

0:14:380:14:40

so another bonus chance for you,

0:14:400:14:42

Snake Charmers.

0:14:420:14:43

-Smallest, white.

-Not it.

0:14:430:14:45

Smallest, turquoise-blue.

0:14:450:14:47

I might have taken green.

0:14:470:14:49

This is a question about banknotes.

0:14:490:14:51

It's the colours of current banknotes in England and Wales,

0:14:510:14:54

the largest, the £50 note, red.

0:14:540:14:55

The second largest, mauve-purple,

0:14:550:14:57

£20 note. A tenner, orange brown.

0:14:570:14:59

And I wanted to hear smallest,

0:14:590:15:01

turquoise-blue for the £5 note.

0:15:010:15:03

So nobody spotted that one.

0:15:030:15:04

Snake charmers, your own question.

0:15:040:15:06

-Can we have Two Reeds, please?

-You certainly can.

0:15:060:15:09

What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:15:090:15:11

8: tune. Like octave?

0:15:120:15:15

-An octave tune? I'll go next.

-Yeah.

0:15:150:15:17

Next, please.

0:15:170:15:18

Erm...

0:15:200:15:22

Oh! No, it's planets.

0:15:220:15:24

Because it's Neptune, Uranus

0:15:240:15:25

and then Saturn, Jupiter.

0:15:250:15:27

So they're missing the first...

0:15:270:15:29

It's either the last four letters or...

0:15:290:15:32

Oh, no, it's the last four letters,

0:15:320:15:33

so it's going to be

0:15:330:15:35

i-t-e-r.

0:15:350:15:36

Are we happy?

0:15:370:15:39

-Yeah, I'm happy.

-Mm-hm.

0:15:390:15:40

BELL

0:15:400:15:41

5: iter.

0:15:410:15:44

Is the right answer. Very well done.

0:15:440:15:46

What's happening here?

0:15:460:15:47

We are going in words

0:15:470:15:49

with the planets from Neptune,

0:15:490:15:50

but only showing

0:15:500:15:51

the last four letters.

0:15:510:15:52

Last four letters of planets

0:15:520:15:54

moving towards the sun.

0:15:540:15:55

I mean, quite clearly the question writer has come up with this

0:15:550:15:58

because he wanted to put the word "anus" on-screen.

0:15:580:16:01

This is what you need to know about our question writers.

0:16:010:16:03

They are the kind of people

0:16:030:16:04

that in their 40s still type

0:16:040:16:06

8-0-0-8-5 into a calculator

0:16:060:16:07

because it says "boobs."

0:16:070:16:09

I mean, they are so delighted

0:16:090:16:10

that those clues have come up quite...

0:16:100:16:12

You know, it's simply planets! Don't write in.

0:16:120:16:14

It's simply the names of planets

0:16:140:16:15

with the first letters taken off

0:16:150:16:17

moving towards the sun.

0:16:170:16:18

A rigorously intellectual question.

0:16:180:16:20

Very well spotted over there.

0:16:200:16:22

Back to you, Extras, for a choice.

0:16:220:16:24

-Er... We'd like to go for the Lion, please.

-OK, the Lion is all yours.

0:16:240:16:28

What would come fourth

0:16:280:16:29

in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:16:290:16:31

25%...

0:16:320:16:34

-In its bag.

-Hmm?

0:16:340:16:36

-You'd use a bag.

-What?

-You normally use a bag.

0:16:360:16:39

Next, please.

0:16:390:16:41

ABBA: 50%...

0:16:420:16:44

The number of letters that are common? B-B-B?

0:16:440:16:47

-The word A. 100%.

-Two As.

-Yes.

0:16:470:16:50

-BELL

-The word... 100 and...

-No.

-Yes!

0:16:500:16:54

-100% A.

-Hello?

0:16:540:16:56

-Er...

-Letter.

-The letter A. 100%.

0:16:560:16:59

Colon 100%.

0:16:590:17:01

And why would that be?

0:17:010:17:03

-The percentage...

-Percentage of As

0:17:030:17:05

in the name of the band.

0:17:050:17:07

I'm afraid that is not

0:17:070:17:08

mathematically correct because there are seven letters in Garbage.

0:17:080:17:10

It's not the answer. I was thinking

0:17:100:17:12

whether I could give it to you,

0:17:120:17:13

but 25% of the letters

0:17:130:17:14

in Garbage aren't As,

0:17:140:17:15

so I must show the third

0:17:150:17:16

in the sequence

0:17:160:17:18

to the Snake Charmers

0:17:180:17:19

for a possible bonus.

0:17:190:17:20

Er... The Beatles: 100%.

0:17:200:17:23

Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:17:230:17:24

Why do you say that?

0:17:240:17:26

It's the proportion of...

0:17:260:17:28

It's four-piece bands

0:17:280:17:29

and it's the proportion that's either men or women

0:17:290:17:31

And I wasn't sure which way to go.

0:17:310:17:33

What do you know about the make up of The Corrs?

0:17:330:17:35

Er... Not very much...

0:17:350:17:36

-I see.

-..as it turns out.

0:17:360:17:37

Well, you're right, but it's women.

0:17:370:17:39

You guessed the wrong way.

0:17:390:17:40

The Corrs are Andrea, Caroline,

0:17:400:17:41

Sharon and Jim. So 75% female.

0:17:410:17:44

Garbage, one female member.

0:17:440:17:46

ABBA - two, of course.

0:17:460:17:47

So we need a four-piece band,

0:17:470:17:49

100% female.

0:17:490:17:51

We went with Little Mix

0:17:510:17:52

who won The X factor. Unlucky.

0:17:520:17:54

So, you don't get the bonus, but you do get the last question,

0:17:540:17:57

the Horned Viper waiting there at the end again

0:17:570:17:59

coiled up in the laundry basket waiting for you.

0:17:590:18:01

What would come fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:18:010:18:03

-Science.

-It could be anything.

0:18:050:18:06

Next.

0:18:060:18:08

-STEM?

-Yeah.

0:18:090:18:11

-What's M?

-Mathematics.

0:18:110:18:13

You did it, Tom!

0:18:130:18:15

BELL

0:18:150:18:16

-Mathematics.

-Is the right answer.

0:18:160:18:19

And what's happening in this sequence?

0:18:190:18:20

It's the STEM subjects.

0:18:200:18:22

That's absolutely right.

0:18:220:18:23

Science, technology, engineering mathematics - the STEM subjects.

0:18:230:18:26

Very well done.

0:18:260:18:27

And that means at the end of Round Two, the Extras have five points.

0:18:270:18:30

The Snake Charmers have 13.

0:18:300:18:32

Time for the Connecting Wall now.

0:18:340:18:36

16 jumbled up clues that the teams need to sort

0:18:360:18:39

into four connected groups of four.

0:18:390:18:41

You'll be going first this time, Snake Charmers.

0:18:410:18:43

Would you like Lion or Water?

0:18:430:18:46

-Could we have Lion, please?

-Yes, you could.

0:18:460:18:48

You've got two and a half minutes to solve the Lion wall starting now.

0:18:480:18:52

OK, so there are crested penguins.

0:18:540:18:55

-Oh, we've got characters from Buffy.

-Oh, yes, of course!

0:18:550:18:58

-Xander, Willow...

-Spike, Giles, Angel.

-Yep.

0:18:580:19:01

-Finally, Buffy comes up!

-There is also...

0:19:010:19:05

Bearded Dragon, crested dragon... Oh, setter, Searle...

0:19:050:19:08

So, what are the penguins?

0:19:080:19:10

-Are they penguins?

-I don't know. They're somethings.

0:19:100:19:12

Er... There's also Gerald Scarfe. Is that his name?

0:19:120:19:15

The cartoonist who did The Wall.

0:19:150:19:18

You get a red setter...

0:19:180:19:19

A weeping willow.

0:19:200:19:21

Oh, bearded tit, willow tits,

0:19:210:19:23

-bluetit, crested tits.

-Yup.

0:19:230:19:25

Three lives now. Choose with care.

0:19:260:19:29

Searle... Searle is a name of someone.

0:19:290:19:31

There are names here.

0:19:310:19:34

Brookes, Scarfe, Searle...

0:19:340:19:36

Soft block?

0:19:360:19:38

Soft block, it sounds like a way of doing something.

0:19:380:19:41

Erm...

0:19:410:19:43

Kitchen tidy...

0:19:430:19:45

Dig in...

0:19:450:19:46

Red setter?

0:19:470:19:49

What's Libero? Do we know?

0:19:490:19:51

Is that...? Oh, is that an app?

0:19:510:19:53

-Is Libero an app?

-Could be.

-Could be.

0:19:530:19:54

Anagrams or anything?

0:19:540:19:56

-Erm...

-Soft block could be an anagram.

0:19:560:19:58

Hmm... No, it's not.

0:19:580:20:00

I'm fairly sure it's not.

0:20:000:20:02

Could be an anagram, make it interesting.

0:20:020:20:04

I think these two are...

0:20:040:20:07

-Oh, these three I think are all cartoonists.

-OK.

0:20:070:20:11

So Libero is probably the last one.

0:20:110:20:13

-Probably.

-Setter, Dig...

0:20:130:20:14

Although it could be Setter.

0:20:140:20:16

I mean, we've got three lives, don't we? So...

0:20:160:20:18

You've got a minute left.

0:20:180:20:20

Let's go for them.

0:20:200:20:21

-OK, I'm going to try them.

-Yeah.

0:20:210:20:24

One more life.

0:20:280:20:30

-Erm...

-Shall we try Scarfe with the others then?

0:20:300:20:33

So that's our last...

0:20:350:20:37

So...

0:20:370:20:39

Shall we try it without...? Did we try it without Libero?

0:20:390:20:42

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:20:420:20:44

Erm... I think... So...

0:20:440:20:47

Just go for what you think.

0:20:470:20:49

Erm...

0:20:490:20:50

-Hey!

-Brilliant!

-You've solved the Wall.

0:20:530:20:55

Very well done.

0:20:550:20:56

So that's four points for the groups

0:20:560:20:58

and I'll give you more points for the connections.

0:20:580:21:00

The first blue group - Xander or Ex-ander, Giles, Angel, Spike.

0:21:000:21:05

These are all characters from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

0:21:050:21:08

Apparently so. You said, "At last, Buffy comes up!"

0:21:080:21:10

It's the only thing I know so much about.

0:21:100:21:13

It's, like, my provisional Mastermind category.

0:21:130:21:16

Well, I'm delighted to be of service there.

0:21:160:21:18

And the green group - crested, blue, willow, bearded.

0:21:180:21:22

These are all tits.

0:21:220:21:24

It's absolutely Christmas in the question setters' department.

0:21:240:21:27

They are delighted. They are all tits.

0:21:270:21:28

Crested, blue, willow and bearded. Well done.

0:21:280:21:31

And the next group - Soft block, Dig, Libero, Setter.

0:21:310:21:35

Crosswords?

0:21:350:21:36

-They are terms in volleyball.

-Oh.

0:21:360:21:40

They don't play volleyball in Buffy. That must be it.

0:21:400:21:42

And the turquoise group at the end there -

0:21:420:21:44

Brookes, Scarfe, Tidy, Searle.

0:21:440:21:48

I believe these are all cartoonists.

0:21:480:21:49

They are cartoonists.

0:21:490:21:51

Peter Brookes in The Times, Gerald Scarfe,

0:21:510:21:53

the great Bill Tidy you weren't sure about,

0:21:530:21:55

And Ronald Searle. He did the St Trinian's drawings.

0:21:550:21:58

All cartoonists. So, that is four points for the groups,

0:21:580:22:01

three more for the connections. That is a total of seven.

0:22:010:22:04

Let's bring the Extras in now, give them the other Connecting Wall

0:22:040:22:07

and see what they can do about solving it.

0:22:070:22:09

You'll be getting the Water wall.

0:22:090:22:10

You have two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.

0:22:100:22:14

-Pocket, lozenge...

-Type of cut?

0:22:160:22:19

Like brilliant diamond. All these are cuts of diamond.

0:22:190:22:22

-Lozenge is maybe one.

-Antwerp Rose.

0:22:220:22:25

OK, black spot, baize... Snooker terms.

0:22:260:22:30

-Snooker terms.

-Pocket.

-Pocket.

0:22:300:22:32

-And... Cushion?

-Cushion.

0:22:320:22:33

Try something else.

0:22:330:22:35

OK, these are all Dickens characters.

0:22:350:22:36

Magwitch, Miss Havisham...

0:22:360:22:39

-Canker.

-And?

-Pip.

-OK.

0:22:390:22:42

-Anyone else?

-D, maybe?

0:22:420:22:45

-D?

-D.

0:22:450:22:47

Leave Canker out.

0:22:470:22:49

-OK, let's try the snooker again, yeah?

-Magwitch, Canker...

-Let's...

0:22:490:22:52

Pocket, cushion, black spot and D.

0:22:520:22:55

And D?

0:22:550:22:57

OK, leave pocket out.

0:22:570:22:59

Leave cushion out.

0:23:010:23:03

Leave black spot out.

0:23:030:23:04

No. Baulk? Canker?

0:23:070:23:09

What else could canker be?

0:23:090:23:11

Some kind of nut or something like that?

0:23:110:23:13

A seed? A pip is a seed.

0:23:130:23:15

Yes, canker. No, unselect.

0:23:150:23:17

D seed, rust seed, baulk...

0:23:200:23:22

What could rust be?

0:23:220:23:24

OK, say something.

0:23:290:23:30

Rust is some kind of...

0:23:300:23:32

OK, this we have to get. Black spot, baize, cushion...

0:23:320:23:36

-Black spot, D...

-You've got a minute left.

0:23:360:23:39

Black spot, D...

0:23:390:23:40

Pocket and cushion.

0:23:400:23:42

-That's what we tried first.

-OK...

0:23:420:23:45

-Pip...

-Rust, baulk, pocket, baize.

0:23:520:23:56

Let's try it with canker.

0:23:580:23:59

-These can't be anything, these two can't be anything else.

-Pip...

0:23:590:24:02

Pip can be a seed or something else.

0:24:020:24:04

30 seconds.

0:24:040:24:05

Rust... Rust, baize...

0:24:120:24:14

-Hmm?

-Rust, baize...

0:24:140:24:15

You can put sea in front?

0:24:150:24:17

-Pocket.

-Rust?

0:24:170:24:19

Canker and pocket.

0:24:190:24:20

HE SIGHS

0:24:210:24:23

Black spot.

0:24:230:24:25

-10 seconds.

-Canker.

0:24:250:24:27

What else haven't I tried?

0:24:300:24:32

Oh, that's it. The time's up.

0:24:340:24:36

So close!

0:24:360:24:37

But you found a group, that's great,

0:24:370:24:39

and I'll give you another point if you tell me the connection.

0:24:390:24:42

Lozenge, Antwerp Rose, brilliant, princess.

0:24:420:24:44

-All these are cuts of diamond.

-They're cuts of diamond.

0:24:440:24:47

You got that very quickly. And you can still get points

0:24:470:24:49

for the connections in the groups you didn't find,

0:24:490:24:51

so let's resolve the wall.

0:24:510:24:53

There it is.

0:24:530:24:54

Pocket, Miss Haversham, Pip, Magwitch.

0:24:540:24:57

These are all characters from Charles Dickens novels.

0:24:570:25:00

They are. Can you be more specific?

0:25:000:25:01

-Great Expectations.

-They're all from Great Expectations.

0:25:010:25:04

The problem with Dickens is anything...

0:25:040:25:06

I mean, Canker, Black Spot, Baize, they could all be characters.

0:25:060:25:09

But it's Pocket, Herbert Pocket from Great Expectations.

0:25:090:25:12

And the next one - cushion, baulk, D, baize.

0:25:120:25:16

These are all terms from billiards or snooker.

0:25:160:25:18

Those are the snooker terms.

0:25:180:25:20

And the last group - rust, black spot, crown gall, canker.

0:25:200:25:25

-Erm...

-Rusty?

-Types of erosion?

0:25:250:25:27

Types of erosion of material.

0:25:270:25:29

They're... Yes, what sort of material?

0:25:290:25:32

-Plant material.

-Plants, exactly.

0:25:320:25:34

They're erosion or diseases that can befall plants.

0:25:340:25:37

That's the one you didn't spot, but you were so close with the Dickens.

0:25:370:25:40

Pocket was the problem. But well done, because you found a group

0:25:400:25:43

and the full four points for the connections.

0:25:430:25:45

That is a total of five.

0:25:450:25:46

Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.

0:25:460:25:49

The Extras have 10 points.

0:25:500:25:52

The Snake Charmers have 20.

0:25:520:25:54

So, a bit of ground to make up that it can be done in Round Four

0:25:560:25:59

where points are taken away as well as given.

0:25:590:26:01

This is the Missing Vowels Round.

0:26:010:26:04

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:26:040:26:06

I can tell you that the first group are all...

0:26:060:26:09

things that are worth two points.

0:26:090:26:11

Answers worth one point.

0:26:110:26:13

Don't know this one.

0:26:180:26:20

It's a safety in American football.

0:26:200:26:22

And that's it.

0:27:430:27:44

It's the end of the quiz and I can tell you that the winners

0:27:440:27:47

In second place, Extras,

0:27:510:27:53

you have 12 points.

0:27:530:27:55

Now, I think that may not be enough to get you into our

0:27:550:27:58

highest-scoring losers, but if not,

0:27:580:27:59

thank you so much for playing.

0:27:590:28:00

It was absolutely lovely to meet you.

0:28:000:28:03

And well done to you,

0:28:030:28:04

0:28:040:28:06

So, that's it, and I leave you with the thought that tonight's show

0:28:060:28:09

is not yet long enough for the slot.

0:28:090:28:11

It's still not long enough.

0:28:120:28:14

It's still not long enough.

0:28:150:28:16

It's STILL not long enough.

0:28:180:28:20

It's long enough, goodbye!
