0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello and welcome to Only Connect.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25And if you'd like to come along

0:00:25 > 0:00:26and be in the live audience for the show,

0:00:26 > 0:00:28then please drop us a line via the website.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30I mean, it'll be slightly weird

0:00:30 > 0:00:32because we don't have a live audience for the show.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34There isn't a great crowd of people here,

0:00:34 > 0:00:35not laughing at the things I say.

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Apart from the crew.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39But you can stand with them, the cameramen, they won't mind,

0:00:39 > 0:00:40they haven't got much to do.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42They're just standing around, standing, standing.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46We're not making Lord Of The Rings. Although sometimes it looks like it.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet the teams.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50On my right, Ian King,

0:00:50 > 0:00:52a French and Russian graduate who's listed in

0:00:52 > 0:00:56the Guinness Book Of Records, along with 2,275 colleagues,

0:00:56 > 0:00:57for standing on one leg.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Tim Harrison, a communications consultant

0:01:00 > 0:01:03who used to be a heavyweight boxer.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06And their captain, Tim Hall, a former accountant

0:01:06 > 0:01:10who successfully predicted a woman's pregnancy using tarot cards.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12All fans of Inspector Morse,

0:01:12 > 0:01:13they are the Detectives.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Now, you lost your last game against the Escapologists.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18How competitive are you feeling about tonight's match?

0:01:18 > 0:01:21We're going to be absolutely, massively competitive

0:01:21 > 0:01:23as long as that's all right with everyone else.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Terrifying.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28The opponents you're scaring tonight are, on my left,

0:01:28 > 0:01:33Rob Cromarty, a former archaeologist who enjoys writing Latin poetry.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Aidan Sproat-Clements, a head of mathematics

0:01:35 > 0:01:38who designed his own wedding stationery using fractals.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41And their captain, Dan Sproat-Clements,

0:01:41 > 0:01:44a housemaster who recently enjoyed a wine-tasting trip to Chablis

0:01:44 > 0:01:48and ended up attending a wedding reception with the vineyard's owner.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50All working at Wellington College,

0:01:50 > 0:01:51they are the Beaks.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53You lost your last game against the Belgophiles.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Has that rattled the confidence? How's the team?

0:01:56 > 0:01:59There wasn't much confidence to begin with so, yes,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02whatever there was has now safely run away and hidden in the corner.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05We tossed a coin to see who would be going first in this match.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Detectives, you won. Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09Can we have Water, please?

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Water. Good luck, both teams.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Someone has to go home tonight, I hope it's neither of you.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14But I'm hoping in vain.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18What is the connection between these apparently random clues?

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Here's the first.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Next, please.

0:02:25 > 0:02:31That is the effect whereby stupid people don't realise they're stupid.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32It's possible, the first one is very similar.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Shall we go for another one?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Next, please.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39That is when you are promoted to your level of incompetence.

0:02:40 > 0:02:41Maximum, sort of...

0:02:43 > 0:02:45All sorts of psychological effects

0:02:45 > 0:02:49or psychological observations of how people behave.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- But to do with intelligence? - Yeah.- Yeah.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53BELL

0:02:53 > 0:02:55They're all psychological observations

0:02:55 > 0:02:57about the way people act,

0:02:57 > 0:03:00to do with their intelligence.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, the Peter Principle, people are

0:03:02 > 0:03:04promoted to the level of their incompetence.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07The Dunning-Kruger effect is when stupid people don't

0:03:07 > 0:03:08realise that they're stupid.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11I'm minded to accept it.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12That's very good of you.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14I really want to hear incompetence

0:03:14 > 0:03:17rather than intelligence or stupidity, but you're in

0:03:17 > 0:03:19the right zone and I think you know what these things are.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22You didn't need to see the last one, Dilbert Principle, what's that?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Is it something to do with the cartoon Dilbert?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26And the Pointy Haired Boss, presumably?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29I don't know if it's to do with a cartoon. I know what it is.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32The idea is you promote somebody higher up the chain

0:03:32 > 0:03:34because the higher up they are, the less damage they can do.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36So you keep the incompetent people...

0:03:36 > 0:03:37I don't know what you're implying!

0:03:37 > 0:03:40But at the lower levels, where people do the real work,

0:03:40 > 0:03:41you keep the competent people.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44And, yes, the Peter Principle is people rising to the level of

0:03:44 > 0:03:46their incompetence. A similar idea, really.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Putts Law is negative selection,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50people who understand what they don't manage

0:03:50 > 0:03:53and manage what they don't understand.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55The Dunning-Kruger effect, I think, as you said... Yes.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58My notes say, "A cognitive bias in which low ability individuals

0:03:58 > 0:04:01"suffer from illusory superiority,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04"assessing their own ability as higher than it really is."

0:04:04 > 0:04:05We all know one of those.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08I can literally see the cameramen nodding. Mmm-hmm.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Do you know what it's inspired by, that study?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13People called Dunning and Kruger.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15No, I think they were the people that did the study.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17No, it was a man who robbed two banks

0:04:17 > 0:04:19and he covered his face in lemon juice...

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Because he thought it makes

0:04:21 > 0:04:22invisible ink or something like that?

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Exactly so.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Because you can make invisible ink,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28he thought his face wouldn't be picked out by CCTV.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Well done, you get two points.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Beaks, what would you like? - Eye of Horus, please.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34The Eye of Horus. These are going to be picture clues.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Something connects them. What is it?

0:04:36 > 0:04:37Time starts now.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Next, please.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Next.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01BELL

0:05:03 > 0:05:04Demi-something.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06You also get two points for coming in after three clues.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Well done. I'll show you the last clue, and tell me...?

0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Demijohn?- Demijohn is the last one. What are the other pictures?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13- The first is a demitasse, a cup. - That's right.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15And a demi-semi-quaver.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18That's right. The second one, a demilune.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21A demi-semi-quaver, which is a 32nd note.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Do you know what you call a 512th note?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Give him a second.- Erm...

0:05:27 > 0:05:30A hemi-demi-semi- hemi-demi-semi-quaver.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33All demi-somethings, well done.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Back to you, Detectives, for a choice.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Can we have Twisted Flax, please? - Yes, you can.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39What is the connection between these clues?

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Here's the first.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Next, please.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- They used to be one country. They used to be united.- Japan?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Do you want to go for another one? Just to be certain.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58- I think we'd want to.- Next, please.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Let's go for it, shall we? - BELL

0:06:17 > 0:06:19They all used to be one entity.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'm afraid they did not.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25So I'm going to show the last clue to the Beaks for a possible bonus.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- No?- No, you don't know.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Got it now.- What is it?- Straits.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30They're straits.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Straits, and the countries that they separate.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, the Denmark Strait separates Iceland and Greenland,

0:06:35 > 0:06:38the Korea Strait, South Korea and Japan.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39And so forth.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42What do you find at the western end of the Denmark Strait?

0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Denmark? - SHE LAUGHS

0:06:46 > 0:06:48You find the North Atlantic circulation pump.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50What is the North Atlantic circulation pump?

0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Erm...- An area of rising hot water

0:06:51 > 0:06:55that keeps the Atlantic spinning the way it should?

0:06:55 > 0:06:57I mean, in a way...

0:06:57 > 0:06:59It's the world's highest waterfall,

0:06:59 > 0:07:01- but it's underwater.- OK.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04And the difference in temperature means the air...?

0:07:04 > 0:07:07That's right, you get temperature differences. Isn't that weird?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I think it's cheating for a waterfall to be underwater,

0:07:09 > 0:07:11because how do you get to go and look at it?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13That's what you'd find at the western end of the Denmark Strait.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16So, no points there. Beaks, your turn to pick a hieroglyph.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Lion, please.- Lion.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20What is the connection between these apparently random clues?

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Here's the first.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Next, please.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Next, please.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43Are they anagrams?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Yes! - BELL

0:07:48 > 0:07:52They are anagrams of your Only Connect hieroglyphs.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55They are anagrams of hieroglyphs. Very well done.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57I'm going to show you the last clue.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59What are they anagrams for?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Water, Lion, Two Reeds and Horned Viper.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05That's right. The first one, Horned Viper.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Ed Towers is Two Reeds.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Loin is Lion. ET war, Water.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Shall I tell you some others? - Please.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15All very appropriate. Horned Viper, "no perv hired".

0:08:15 > 0:08:18If only. If only, is what I'd say to that.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21You can also make "hide porn rev" and "hen provider".

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Eye of Horus, "house foray".

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Twisted Flax, "fits lewd tax".

0:08:27 > 0:08:29All anagrams of hieroglyphs used on Only Connect.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Very well spotted.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Detectives, what would you like?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Can we have Two Reeds, please? - Two Reeds. OK,

0:08:35 > 0:08:36I'm afraid it's the music question.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38You'll be hearing your lovely clues. What connects them?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Time starts now.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43# This old world will never change...

0:08:46 > 0:08:47- Do you have an idea?- No.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49# ..The way it's been... #

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Next, please.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57# I'm going to wash the dishes

0:08:57 > 0:09:01# While you go have a beer... #

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Next, please.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05# Hey, kids, shake it loose together

0:09:05 > 0:09:07# The spotlight's hitting something

0:09:07 > 0:09:09# That's been known to change the weather

0:09:09 > 0:09:11# We'll kill the fatted... #

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Next, please.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14UP-TEMPO DIXIELAND JAZZ

0:09:17 > 0:09:19BELL

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Are they all NFL teams? - Very well done.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24- What did we hear?- We recognised Bennie And The Jets

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- and When The Saints Go Marching In. - Yep?

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Haven't a clue on the others.- We also heard Dolphins, Tim Buckley,

0:09:30 > 0:09:32for the Miami Dolphins. And Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?,

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Paula Cole. Well spotted.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38All contain NFL teams in their titles.

0:09:38 > 0:09:39Back to you, Beaks.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I suppose it will be the Horned Viper.

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Hide porn rev.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's the Horned Viper question.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46What is the connection between these clues?

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Here's the first.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Next, please.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Are these David Walliams novels?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Are you sure? - Yeah, go for it. Let's go for it.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04BELL

0:10:04 > 0:10:05David Walliams novels.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07I'm afraid not.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09So I'm going to show the next two clues to the Detectives

0:10:09 > 0:10:11for a possible bonus point.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15They've all won the prize for children's literature.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16Carnegie, is it?

0:10:16 > 0:10:19No, they may have all won prizes, but not all the same one.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Gangsta Granny is a David Walliams novel.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23The Butterfly Lion is Michael Morpurgo.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25The Selfish Giant, Oscar Wilde.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30They are children's stories in which the title character dies.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Sorry for the spoiler, there.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35But, yes, that is the connection, is that they have tragic endings.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Do you know The Selfish Giant, the Oscar Wilde story?- No.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42A giant dies under a tree.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Do people feel sorry for him? Because he is selfish.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46I think he becomes less selfish over the course of the story,

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- then dies anyway.- Oh, I see.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50The Butterfly Lion...

0:10:50 > 0:10:52This is awful, I'm reading these plots.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56The title character is befriended as an orphan cub, sold,

0:10:56 > 0:10:57then it dies and then...

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Right, I'm never reading that, I'm never reading that.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03At the end of Round One,

0:11:03 > 0:11:05the Detectives have three points,

0:11:05 > 0:11:06the Beaks have four.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Round Two, the sequences round.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13The teams may see a maximum of three clues.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15I want to know what will come fourth in a sequence.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Detectives, you'll be going first again.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Which hieroglyph would you like? - Can we have Eye of Horus, please?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yes, you can. What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Here's the first.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Next, please.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37CNN?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Fox?

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Next.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- That's HB.- HBO.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49So what's that? That's HBOS. HBO.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50HB.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52- So will that be just H? - Hydrogen.- Yeah.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55BELL

0:11:55 > 0:11:56Hydrogen.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Is an acceptable answer.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01I'd have preferred Ian Watkins from Steps.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05- But why?- It's going from HBOS to HBO, to HB, to H.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07That's right. HBOS, HBO, HB,

0:12:07 > 0:12:09I need something representing H.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10Being more highbrow than us,

0:12:10 > 0:12:13you chose hydrogen rather than a member of Steps.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Back to you, Beaks, for a choice.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Water, please.- Water. What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Here's the first.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27Next, please.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Heads, shoulders, knees and toes.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Toes is phalanges.- No, meta...

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Or metatarsals.

0:12:38 > 0:12:39Yeah, yeah, go for it. Go for it.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43BELL

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Metatarsals.- And why would that be?

0:12:46 > 0:12:47Head, shoulders, knees and toes.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50I'll accept it, that's the right puzzle.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54I think a doctor would tell you that phalanges would be more correct

0:12:54 > 0:12:56than metatarsals, but you have solved the puzzle.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58These are of course...?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00The bones corresponding to the bits

0:13:00 > 0:13:02in the song Head, Shoulders, Knees And Toes.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06I think your parietal bone is that bit around your temples and eyes.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Yes, the sides and top of the cranium.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11And the collarbone connects the shoulder blade to the sternum.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Kneecaps?- Yes, patellae.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Do you know...? Who's the classicist?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Oh, dear.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19What does that mean, do you know?

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Given the ending, I'd suggest it's a diminutive,

0:13:21 > 0:13:23- so it's a small form of something. - A little pan.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Isn't that sweet? The knees, little pans.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Two girls, one on each knee.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30Phalanges, the bones of the toes,

0:13:30 > 0:13:32metatarsals, bones of the foot, I think, really.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35But you've solved it correctly. Well done.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Back to you, Detectives, for a choice.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38- Lion, please.- Lion.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41OK, what will come fourth in this sequence?

0:13:41 > 0:13:42Here's the first.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49Next, please.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55Next, please.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Right, he's the host of the...

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Which show in America? Of the late-night talk shows?

0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Has he been replaced by James Corden?- Yes.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12BELL

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Without a huge amount of confidence, James Corden.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Is the right answer.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18Why do you think that might be?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20They are the hosts of a late-night chat show in America,

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- but I can't remember which one. - The Late Late Show, that's right,

0:14:23 > 0:14:25an American talk show from 1995 to the present.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28What is James Corden's middle name?

0:14:30 > 0:14:31It's gone completely from my head.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Do you know?- Alexander?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Kimberley.- Oh.- It's Kimberley.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37So even though you weren't confident, you were correct

0:14:37 > 0:14:39and you may have the points. Well done.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Back to you, Beaks, for a choice.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42- Horned Viper, please.- OK.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46What would come fourth in this picture sequence?

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Here's the first.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50Is that London?

0:14:53 > 0:14:54Next, please.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57That's Fawlty Towers.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15No, no.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16'97 was Tony Blair.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19So then it's Gordon Brown.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Do something.- Two seconds.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26BELL

0:15:26 > 0:15:27Erm...

0:15:27 > 0:15:29So.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Erm...

0:15:30 > 0:15:322000 and, erm...

0:15:32 > 0:15:35..17, and...

0:15:35 > 0:15:38I'm going to stop you there, I'm afraid that is not the right answer.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40So I'm going to show the third in the sequence for the Detectives

0:15:40 > 0:15:42for a possible bonus point.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Holland?- Yeah.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45I can't give you long.

0:15:45 > 0:15:472015 and a picture of a Cameron Highlander.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Nope. What do you think the sequence is?

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Is it leaders of the Conservative Party in the year they left?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55So it would be 2016 and a Cameron Highlander?

0:15:55 > 0:15:58It's the year they lost elections.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01So, Heath, '74. Major, '97.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03We want then Hague, The Hague, 2001.

0:16:03 > 0:16:062005, Howard. Michael Howard.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08So we've got Howard the Duck there.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09That is the sequence.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11It is Tory leaders who lost a general election

0:16:11 > 0:16:14and we're going towards Howard.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16You both bounded too far into the future.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18But you have your own question, Detectives, which is it to be?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Can we have Two Reeds, please? - Yes, you can.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22What will come fourth in this sequence?

0:16:22 > 0:16:23Here's the first.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Next, please.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48BELL

0:16:48 > 0:16:5031-40:2.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51Is the right answer. And why is that?

0:16:51 > 0:16:54We think it is the number of prime numbers within that range.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56That's exactly right, it's as simple as that.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58between 31 and 40 there are two prime numbers.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02One question remains, the Twisted Flax.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04What would come fourth in this sequence?

0:17:04 > 0:17:05Here's the first.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Next, please.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13It won the Best Picture.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22It was originally the stage version of My Fair Lady.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23Next, please.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29Was Chicago the next musical to win Best Picture?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- I think so.- Go for it.

0:17:31 > 0:17:32BELL

0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Chicago.- Is the right answer.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36What is the sequence?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39These are musicals that have won the Best Picture at the Oscars.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41That is exactly right.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45And why was our question editor disappointed in the spring of 2017?

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Because La La Land very nearly won and then didn't.

0:17:49 > 0:17:50Exactly so.

0:17:50 > 0:17:55Even though Moonlight is unarguably the better film,

0:17:55 > 0:17:56it's not so interesting when you're

0:17:56 > 0:17:59trying to make sequences in Only Connect. Had La La Land won,

0:17:59 > 0:18:02as Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway tried to make happen,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04it would have been so useful for our show.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Has there ever been a more embarrassing moment at the Oscars?

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Gwyneth Paltrow's crying?

0:18:09 > 0:18:12I don't know. She cried, Jennifer Lawrence fell over,

0:18:12 > 0:18:15there've been terrible speeches, but declaring the wrong thing

0:18:15 > 0:18:18and then the people are taking the thing and then...aargh!

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Terrible.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22But the right answer.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24That means, at the end of Round Two,

0:18:24 > 0:18:26the Beaks have nine points,

0:18:26 > 0:18:27the Detectives have ten.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Time now for the Wall Game.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Sorry, Beaks, wrong school.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34But you do get to go first.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Would you like Lion or Water?

0:18:36 > 0:18:37- Lion, please.- Lion.

0:18:37 > 0:18:42You have 2.5 minutes to solve the Lion wall, starting now.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Catcher is a baseball player.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48A channel, a gutter, a trench...

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Long on's a cricket fielder,

0:18:49 > 0:18:51gully's a fielder, slip's a fielder.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52And point's a fielder.

0:18:55 > 0:18:56- BUZZ - And so is cover.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59- Not gutter, not gutter. - BUZZ

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Slip, gully, long on and point.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Channel...gully... - BUZZ

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Gutter's a term in bowling.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09BUZZ

0:19:10 > 0:19:11BUZZ

0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Creek, culvert... - BUZZ

0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Creek, culvert...- Gully and ditch?

0:19:17 > 0:19:18- Gully, ditch.- And trench. - BUZZ

0:19:18 > 0:19:20And also channel, please.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23- A slip is an item of clothing. - BUZZ

0:19:23 > 0:19:24Can I keep trying the...?

0:19:30 > 0:19:31- OK, so... - BUZZ

0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Butch Cassidy, Pat Garrett... - BUZZ

0:19:33 > 0:19:35- ..they're cowboys. - BUZZ

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Fine.

0:19:37 > 0:19:38BUZZ

0:19:39 > 0:19:42- BUZZ - Long on, gully, slip and cover

0:19:42 > 0:19:45- and point are all fielding points. - BUZZ

0:19:45 > 0:19:46- OK, fine. - BUZZ

0:19:48 > 0:19:49BUZZ

0:19:50 > 0:19:52BUZZ

0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Hmm, this is rather difficult. - BUZZ

0:19:56 > 0:19:57Catcher is a cricket position as well.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59- BUZZ - Is it?

0:19:59 > 0:20:00BUZZ

0:20:00 > 0:20:02So, creek is... Wonderful.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05So, Creek's a detective, Creek is a river.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06Ditch is a river area.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08We're quite hard for time.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09BUZZ

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Banish is to...

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Three lives, one minute.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Slipper? P-E-R at the end? OK.

0:20:18 > 0:20:23Lip's in there, but's in there, ban's in there and cat is in there.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26OK, so... Postman Pat.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Can we try that as one which is...?

0:20:29 > 0:20:31But there's no link to those words.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Well, they all contain another hidden word.- Of?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36They've all got a short, three-letter word in them.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38- BUZZ - OK.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39So...

0:20:41 > 0:20:46- Is there a word...? - Butch Cassidy, Pat Garrett.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Pat Cash, Jonathan Creek.

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Ten seconds.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Let's go with something.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55BUZZ

0:20:57 > 0:20:59- BUZZ - OK.- OK.- That's it.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Your lives are up, but you found two groups on that horrible wall.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Can you tell me the connections?

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Cover, gully, point, long on?

0:21:06 > 0:21:08They're fielding positions in cricket.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09That's exactly what they are.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12And the green group - ditch, gutter, culvert, channel?

0:21:12 > 0:21:14They're all things that water drains through.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15All conduits for water.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17And what about the groups you didn't find?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Let's resolve the wall.

0:21:20 > 0:21:21There you go.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Catcher, slip, pat, boy?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Things that are best?- No.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Now, You mentioned Butch Cassidy earlier.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30It's cow. Like cowboy.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Cowboy, cowpat, cowslip, cow catcher

0:21:32 > 0:21:34is something to do with a train.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35Oh, yes, in front.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Cow at the beginning of all of them.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41And the last, turquoise group -

0:21:41 > 0:21:43trench, butch, creek, banish?

0:21:43 > 0:21:48Can you put the letters E-R at the end of them to make...?

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- I think creeker is not quite anything.- I'm not sure.

0:21:51 > 0:21:52This is what it is.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56You can change the first letter to make a language.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- French, Dutch, Greek, Danish. - Greek!- Danish!- Wow.- Unlucky.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02But you did find two groups and give me the connections,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04that's a total of four.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Let's bring in their opponents now and give them

0:22:06 > 0:22:09the other connecting wall, the Water wall, see how they get on.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13You have got 2.5 minutes to solve the Water wall, starting now.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24OK, shall we go for some of them?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28- BUZZ - OK, what else?

0:22:30 > 0:22:31BUZZ

0:22:32 > 0:22:33BUZZ

0:22:36 > 0:22:38OK, that's in heraldry.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Shall we try heraldry?

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Pale fire?

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Anemone, erm...

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Anemone is a plant and a...

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Is that heraldry?

0:22:50 > 0:22:51Other plants here.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Other plants...

0:22:53 > 0:22:54- Women's names as well.- Yeah.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58I think we need to work out what...

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Sea anemone, sea cucumber.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Sea gooseberry? Sea violet?

0:23:02 > 0:23:03BUZZ

0:23:05 > 0:23:07- OK.- Three lives now.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Bend sinister, pale fire...

0:23:09 > 0:23:11You think those are both heraldry?

0:23:11 > 0:23:12Violet? Cora?

0:23:14 > 0:23:17It's Downton Abbey. I don't watch it, but...

0:23:17 > 0:23:18Cora, Edith, Mary

0:23:18 > 0:23:20and...

0:23:20 > 0:23:21..and Violet, I think.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24What would these other ones be? They're books by...

0:23:24 > 0:23:26..by Nabokov, aren't they?

0:23:26 > 0:23:27Lolita.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31So, we think it might be Violet.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34- And those are all Nabokov, do we think?- Yeah.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Really?- Let's see if it's right first.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38- BUZZ - It's not.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40So, what else can be...?

0:23:40 > 0:23:44That must be a novel, if they're novels, that must be a novel.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Lolita, there's no Lolita in Downton.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50- OK, so we've tried... - Is Isabel in Downton?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Is there a Cora in Downton?- Yes.- OK.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55There's a Mary, Edith and Cora.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Try... We did...

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Yeah.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02- BUZZ - OK.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09- And Lolita? - There's no Lolita in Downton.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10So it's Cora or Mary.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Could be, couldn't it? Or it could be Mary.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14Shall we go for one of these?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- We've tried...?- No. - We haven't tried this.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Shall we go for this? I don't think we can get any further.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25BUZZ

0:24:25 > 0:24:27That's it, that is your three lives.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30But you found two groups and can you tell me the connection

0:24:30 > 0:24:32in the first one, starting lilac?

0:24:32 > 0:24:33They're all shades of purple.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35All shades of purple.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38And the green group - lily, cucumber, anemone, gooseberry?

0:24:38 > 0:24:42If you put sea in front of them, you get a different sort of organism.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44You can put sea in front of all of them.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46You can still get points for the connections,

0:24:46 > 0:24:47so let's resolve the wall.

0:24:47 > 0:24:48There you go.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52Mary, Bend Sinister, Pale Fire, Lolita?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54We think these must be Nabokov works.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56They are novels by Vladimir Nabokov.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00And the last group - Violet, Edith, Cora, Isabel?

0:25:00 > 0:25:01These are Downton Abbey characters.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05They are the characters from Downton Abbey and Mary was the red herring.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07So, two points for the groups and four for the connections,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09that's a total of six.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20So it's quite close and the outcome will be decided

0:25:20 > 0:25:22in the missing vowels round.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26The first group of disguised clues

0:25:26 > 0:25:29are all things you might do if you're angry.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33- Beaks?- Rant and rave.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34Correct.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Detectives?- Scream blue murder.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41Correct.

0:25:44 > 0:25:45- Beaks?- Foam at the mouth.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Correct.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Detectives?- Go through the roof.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Correct.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Next category...

0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Detectives?- Kingdom of Denmark.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00Yes, it is.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Beaks?- Commonwealth of Australia.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Correct.
