Hello, and welcome to Only Connect,

0:00:210:00:23

the quiz that's become an institution.

0:00:230:00:25

Which is handy, as it's where many of our contestants should probably be.

0:00:250:00:30

Because they're so clever!

0:00:300:00:31

Everyone knows it's a fine line.

0:00:310:00:33

Tonight's teams are particularly clever

0:00:330:00:36

because they won their heats.

0:00:360:00:37

This is a quarter final, so we welcome again, on my right,

0:00:370:00:41

Paul Steeples, a civil servant

0:00:410:00:43

who enjoys European travel and visiting art galleries,

0:00:430:00:46

William De Ath,

0:00:460:00:48

an Oxford maths graduate who enjoys trekking, skiing and scuba diving.

0:00:480:00:52

and their captain David Lea,

0:00:520:00:54

a modern languages graduate with a passion for all things Spanish.

0:00:540:00:59

All analysts of some description in their work, they are the Analysts.

0:00:590:01:02

David, how are you feeling about the opposition?

0:01:020:01:05

Well, tougher questions, tougher opposition than the second round.

0:01:050:01:09

But we'll see how we do.

0:01:090:01:11

I think we're quietly confident.

0:01:110:01:13

Let's take a look at that tough opposition.

0:01:130:01:16

Tonight you play, on my left,

0:01:160:01:18

Simon Jelley, Oxford graduate,

0:01:180:01:21

and keen amateur hockey player,

0:01:210:01:23

John Loveluck, a consultant engineer

0:01:230:01:25

with a love of cycling, tennis and fine dining.

0:01:250:01:28

And their captain Bruce Lin,

0:01:280:01:30

a clean technology engineer and keen linguist, who hails from Toronto.

0:01:300:01:35

They all specialise in providing technical solutions to complex problems.

0:01:350:01:39

They are the Technologists.

0:01:390:01:41

Bruce, you beat the joggers in your heat. How did that go?

0:01:410:01:44

We knew we were in for a tough fight after the first two rounds,

0:01:440:01:48

but the team together did really well on the wall,

0:01:480:01:51

and I was really happy.

0:01:510:01:53

My background notes originally described you as "an accomplished linguist",

0:01:530:01:57

and someone's crossed it out and written "geek".

0:01:570:02:00

I'm interested in languages, and I speak a number quite poorly.

0:02:000:02:04

Let's see if you can speak the language of quiz.

0:02:040:02:06

If you're bilingual in that at home,

0:02:060:02:09

later on, you'll be able to play the connecting wall live

0:02:090:02:12

along with the teams, if you've got a computer.

0:02:120:02:15

But now, we're going to play Round One.

0:02:150:02:18

What's the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:02:180:02:21

You'll remember that.

0:02:210:02:23

Technologists, you won the toss, you go first. Choose a question.

0:02:230:02:27

Could we start with the lion?

0:02:270:02:29

Your first clue of the Quarter Final is coming up now.

0:02:290:02:32

It rings some vague bell, but no.

0:02:390:02:41

Er, next, please.

0:02:410:02:43

Jelly Babies?

0:02:430:02:45

Dr...

0:02:450:02:46

No... Oh, there was recently the Jellyatrics.

0:02:490:02:54

Their anniversary, but I don't know how old...

0:02:540:02:58

Er, next, please.

0:02:580:02:59

Mandrakes, what's that?

0:02:590:03:02

-Mandrakes.

-They're plants, right?

0:03:020:03:04

Yeah, they're plant roots.

0:03:040:03:06

Next, please.

0:03:060:03:07

Five seconds.

0:03:070:03:09

BELL

0:03:110:03:12

-John, do you want to take this one?

-No.

0:03:120:03:14

No, I'll come up with a clue. Um...

0:03:140:03:17

Well, if nobody wants to take it, I'm going to see if your opponents do.

0:03:170:03:22

-Possible bonus for you, Analysts.

-Screaming.

0:03:220:03:25

Screaming is the answer. Could you explain it?

0:03:250:03:28

David Sutch was Screaming Lord Sutch,

0:03:280:03:30

er, mandrakes, in mythology, scream when you pluck them out the ground,

0:03:300:03:37

um, and the other two, I'm nowhere on.

0:03:370:03:40

The Wilhelm Scream is a sound effect in films.

0:03:400:03:44

Private Wilhelm was a character in a film called Distant Drums,

0:03:440:03:48

and his screaming was used as a sound effect later on.

0:03:480:03:51

Jelly Babies, there's an experiment, screaming Jelly Babies.

0:03:510:03:54

It's to do with the energy in food.

0:03:540:03:57

Jelly Babies make a sort of a screaming noise

0:03:570:03:59

if you apply heat and oxygen to them.

0:03:590:04:02

But well done, screaming is correct.

0:04:020:04:04

Analysts, choose your own question.

0:04:040:04:06

Two reeds, please.

0:04:060:04:07

That's the music question. William, you look delighted(!)

0:04:070:04:12

I'm ecstatic(!)

0:04:120:04:13

I hope you enjoy it. The first clue is coming in.

0:04:130:04:16

# Went on the road When I was eight years old

0:04:160:04:19

# When I turned 15 I was stealing the show

0:04:190:04:21

# Money to burn And the girls were pretty

0:04:210:04:24

# It didn't take me long to learn That I was born to boogie

0:04:240:04:28

Next, please.

0:04:280:04:29

# It had to be you

0:04:290:04:31

# It had to be you

0:04:330:04:35

Next, please.

0:04:350:04:36

-# Who can make a sunrise?

-Who can make a sunrise?

0:04:360:04:39

-# Sprinkle it with dew?

-Sprinkle it with dew?

0:04:390:04:43

# Cover it with chocolate And a miracle or two?

0:04:430:04:46

Next, please.

0:04:460:04:47

# There's something strange

0:04:470:04:49

# In your neighbourhood

0:04:490:04:50

Five seconds.

0:04:500:04:52

-# Who you gonna call?

-Ghostbusters!

0:04:520:04:54

Two seconds. BELL

0:04:540:04:56

Songs that are film titles.

0:04:560:04:59

They are not songs that are film titles.

0:04:590:05:01

So Technologists, chance of a bonus.

0:05:010:05:03

Are they related by candy?

0:05:030:05:05

No, they're not.

0:05:050:05:08

What are you thinking?

0:05:080:05:09

I thought I heard "the candyman can"

0:05:090:05:11

and there's a marshmallow man in Ghostbusters.

0:05:110:05:14

Oh, yeah, that's nice. You did hear The Candyman, Sammy Davis Jr,

0:05:140:05:18

you heard the theme from Ghostbusters

0:05:180:05:20

performed by Ray Parker Jr,

0:05:200:05:21

Oh!

0:05:210:05:23

You heard the man who definitely wants to marry me,

0:05:230:05:26

it's only him who doesn't know it, Harry Connick Jr.

0:05:260:05:29

And Hank Williams Jr, Born To Boogie.

0:05:290:05:31

They are all artists with Jr in their names.

0:05:310:05:34

So no points there. Technologists, your turn.

0:05:340:05:36

Water.

0:05:360:05:38

Water, OK, here's your first clue coming up.

0:05:380:05:40

Rope. We don't know. Next.

0:05:430:05:45

Theme parks?

0:05:500:05:52

Um, things that are red? I think we need another one. Next.

0:05:520:05:56

TV show? Do you know it?

0:05:590:06:01

-No idea at all.

-Do you know it? Next.

0:06:010:06:03

-It's, like, a film with...

-Oh, right.

-Ten seconds.

0:06:100:06:13

Is it all, sort of, real time?

0:06:130:06:15

-OK, yeah, yeah.

-BELL

0:06:150:06:16

Er, we think they're things

0:06:160:06:18

that happen in real time.

0:06:180:06:20

There you go. They are films and TV shows that unfold in real time.

0:06:200:06:24

Rope, Alfred Hitchcock, a real-time movie,

0:06:240:06:26

Phone Booth, did you know that one?

0:06:260:06:28

-I've seen trailers.

-Is it a thriller?

-A phone booth in New York.

0:06:280:06:32

Quite recent, Colin Farrell.

0:06:320:06:34

Roger And Val Have Just Got In, BBC series, Dawn French, Alfred Molina.

0:06:340:06:39

The half hour after a couple got home. And 24, the TV show.

0:06:390:06:42

They all unfold in real time. Well done. Analysts, over to you.

0:06:420:06:46

Twisted flax, please.

0:06:460:06:47

All right. These are picture clues.

0:06:470:06:50

Here's the first one.

0:06:500:06:51

-OK, calendar.

-Next.

0:06:530:06:56

Don't they have special names, those green wellies?

0:07:030:07:06

Dunno. OK, next, please.

0:07:060:07:09

Cowpat. Some dung.

0:07:110:07:13

Next, please.

0:07:200:07:21

Ten seconds.

0:07:210:07:23

Three seconds.

0:07:280:07:29

BELL

0:07:310:07:32

No, you're out of time. Bonus chance, Technologists.

0:07:320:07:35

Er, they're all pie-related?

0:07:350:07:38

The second clue...

0:07:380:07:41

I suppose there's a British delicacy called the Wellington pie?

0:07:410:07:44

Oh, you've eaten my cooking.

0:07:440:07:46

No, these are all things that are thrown in world championships.

0:07:460:07:51

There is a mobile phone-throwing competition annually in Finland,

0:07:510:07:55

Wellington boots since 1992, a Wellington boot-throwing contest.

0:07:550:07:59

Cow chips, they are called.

0:07:590:08:01

There is a championship of cow chip throwing in Oklahoma.

0:08:010:08:05

I don't know, I'm afraid to tell you the name of the town. It is Beaver.

0:08:050:08:09

Custard pies. There's a custard pie throwing contest in Kent annually.

0:08:090:08:14

They can all be thrown in championships.

0:08:140:08:16

Technologists, please choose a question.

0:08:160:08:18

Horned viper.

0:08:180:08:20

OK, here's the first clue coming up.

0:08:200:08:22

CONFER IN WHISPERS

0:08:260:08:28

Next, please.

0:08:310:08:32

-Scotch Snap.

-What is that?

0:08:320:08:35

Oh, these are, iambs.

0:08:450:08:46

As in iambic pentameter.

0:08:460:08:48

How many are in that? Der-der der-der der-der der-der.

0:08:480:08:51

-Iambic pentameter.

-Ten seconds.

-Next.

0:08:510:08:54

It's dot-dash, dot-dash.

0:08:560:08:58

OK, short and long.

0:08:580:09:00

BELL

0:09:000:09:01

We think it's things which are short and then long.

0:09:010:09:04

Just in the nick of time.

0:09:040:09:06

Things with a short-long rhythm.

0:09:060:09:08

Cardiac cycle, the heartbeat, du-dum.

0:09:080:09:10

Scotch Snap, in Scottish dancing it's a dotted rhythm note.

0:09:100:09:14

Iamb, that's a short syllable, long syllable in poetry.

0:09:140:09:17

And the 'A' in Morse Code, dot-dash.

0:09:170:09:19

Things with a short-long rhythm. Well done.

0:09:190:09:21

Back to you, Analysts, for the Eye of Horus.

0:09:210:09:24

What is the connection here? Time starts now.

0:09:240:09:28

Was that a constituency that...

0:09:300:09:32

One of the MPs...

0:09:320:09:33

It was, yeah.

0:09:330:09:35

It was the former constituency.

0:09:350:09:37

Next, please.

0:09:370:09:39

Um, triangles.

0:09:450:09:46

Yeah.

0:09:460:09:47

Slave triangle.

0:09:470:09:49

BELL

0:09:490:09:50

Um, they're all things that are done in triangles.

0:09:500:09:55

Yes, they are, you're absolutely right.

0:09:550:09:57

You'll see the next two clues now.

0:09:570:09:59

Can you tell me anything about these?

0:09:590:10:02

Wakefield, Morley and Rothwell is the rhubarb triangle.

0:10:020:10:05

That's it. The area where Yorkshire forced rhubarb is grown.

0:10:050:10:08

Slaves, molasses and rum was the basis of triangle trade.

0:10:080:10:11

That's right, between New England, Africa and the West Indies.

0:10:110:10:15

Husband, wife and mistress is a...

0:10:150:10:17

-Eternal triangle.

-Bizarre love triangle.

0:10:170:10:19

Um, and oxygen, fuel and heat is the fire triangle.

0:10:190:10:25

Together, that is the fire triangle. Well done.

0:10:250:10:27

That means, at the end of a tough Quarter Final Round One,

0:10:270:10:30

the Technologists have two points, but the Analysts are ahead with four.

0:10:300:10:35

Things will not get easier in Round Two,

0:10:370:10:39

because now the teams must first work out the connection,

0:10:390:10:43

then tell me what comes fourth in a sequence.

0:10:430:10:45

You see a maximum of three clues before answering.

0:10:450:10:48

Technologists, you're first again.

0:10:480:10:51

Please choose a hieroglyph.

0:10:510:10:52

Twisted flax.

0:10:520:10:54

First in the sequence coming up.

0:10:540:10:56

What is fourth? Time starts now.

0:10:560:10:59

School system, things that want to be reformed.

0:11:000:11:03

Next.

0:11:030:11:05

WHISPERING

0:11:080:11:10

I don't think the number, 4,3,2,1...

0:11:120:11:15

Are they layers, like you can work your way up?

0:11:150:11:17

Next.

0:11:170:11:19

Seaports.

0:11:190:11:21

They're the responsibilities of something.

0:11:210:11:24

Um...

0:11:240:11:26

Running out of time.

0:11:320:11:33

Five seconds.

0:11:330:11:35

BELL

0:11:350:11:36

Um, one, Immigration.

0:11:360:11:41

I'm afraid that's not the answer.

0:11:420:11:44

Analysts, please have a go for a bonus.

0:11:440:11:47

1: Water system.

0:11:470:11:49

That's not it either. What's your logic?

0:11:490:11:52

Levels of critical infrastructure.

0:11:520:11:56

What was your logic, Technologists?

0:11:560:11:58

Responsibilities of a ministry.

0:11:580:12:00

I see how you're thinking. But no.

0:12:000:12:03

This is a cultural question, a TV question.

0:12:030:12:06

They are themes from seasons of The Wire.

0:12:060:12:09

The first season of The Wire was about the drug trade.

0:12:090:12:13

Following on from that, seaports, city government, the school system.

0:12:130:12:17

The Wire focused on those areas in Baltimore.

0:12:170:12:20

-Analysts, your turn to pick a question.

-Water, please.

0:12:200:12:23

First in the sequence coming up.

0:12:230:12:25

What is fourth? Time starts now.

0:12:250:12:27

-Um, not sure.

-Next, please.

0:12:330:12:35

Could be Titans.

0:12:420:12:43

I don't know what...

0:12:430:12:45

OK. Next, please.

0:12:450:12:48

Oh, moon. Um...

0:12:490:12:51

Moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,

0:12:530:12:56

moons of Neptune.

0:12:560:12:58

What's that?

0:12:580:12:59

Is it sea gods?

0:12:590:13:01

Five seconds.

0:13:010:13:02

Yeah, sea gods.

0:13:020:13:03

BELL

0:13:030:13:05

Um, m-mythological creatures from the sea.

0:13:050:13:09

Yeah, I'll take it.

0:13:090:13:11

I heard you muttering "sea gods".

0:13:110:13:13

Sea deities. The naming conventions for moons of the various planets

0:13:130:13:17

going outwards from Jupiter to Neptune. Very good.

0:13:170:13:20

Back to you now, Technologists.

0:13:200:13:22

Let's try two reeds.

0:13:220:13:23

Two reeds. Coming up. What's fourth? Time starts now.

0:13:230:13:28

Statant.

0:13:290:13:31

It's going to be heraldic themes, I think, maybe.

0:13:310:13:34

Let's go on, next.

0:13:340:13:36

Next.

0:13:360:13:38

Sitting. Standing, sitting, lying.

0:13:380:13:41

Couchant, maybe.

0:13:410:13:43

-Let's get one more.

-Yeah.

0:13:430:13:44

Next, please.

0:13:440:13:46

Wasn't couchant. We've had that. This is one I don't know.

0:13:460:13:49

Supine.

0:13:520:13:53

-I don't think so.

-I think it is.

0:13:530:13:55

OK, think of something else.

0:13:550:13:57

Ten seconds.

0:13:570:13:58

Is it...

0:14:020:14:03

Sitting, lying...

0:14:030:14:04

-Three seconds. BELL

-Supine.

0:14:040:14:07

I'm afraid not. Possible bonus, Analysts.

0:14:070:14:09

-Getting upwards.

-Passant.

0:14:090:14:11

No, that's not right either.

0:14:110:14:14

It means supine, but the word in,

0:14:140:14:16

as I think you know, heraldic terms, "dormant".

0:14:160:14:20

It's the positions of a heraldic animal

0:14:200:14:23

as it goes to sleep, statant, standing on all four legs,

0:14:230:14:26

sejant, sitting,

0:14:260:14:28

couchant, and then dormant would be the lying down one.

0:14:280:14:32

Unlucky. Analysts, your turn to choose.

0:14:320:14:34

Lion, please.

0:14:340:14:36

Here's the first in the sequence. It's going to be a picture clue.

0:14:360:14:40

And I want to know what's in the fourth picture.

0:14:400:14:43

Here's the first.

0:14:430:14:44

Blackpool.

0:14:460:14:47

-Next.

-Next, please.

0:14:520:14:53

-It's a thali.

-Is it?

0:14:550:14:56

What's the one, things with a 'V'? Blackpool...

0:15:010:15:04

You going to have another?

0:15:040:15:05

Yeah, next, please.

0:15:050:15:07

That is the... It's not even Eastern Standard, is it?

0:15:090:15:12

-It's four hours behind.

-Ten seconds.

0:15:120:15:15

Um...

0:15:150:15:16

I don't know. We have to get the fourth one.

0:15:160:15:19

-Got to get the fourth one.

-Three seconds.

0:15:190:15:22

BELL

0:15:220:15:23

Um, things are minus four.

0:15:240:15:27

That's wrong for so many reasons.

0:15:270:15:29

It's not the connection, and I want to know what the fourth one is.

0:15:290:15:33

So I'm going to the Technologists for a possible bonus point.

0:15:330:15:37

-Do we know anything about the map?

-Pacific.

0:15:370:15:39

-It's Pacific.

-Yes, it is. I wasn't expecting that. Well done! Why?

0:15:390:15:43

They're the oceans in increasing size.

0:15:430:15:46

That's exactly what it is. Oceans by surface area.

0:15:460:15:49

Southern in the first one, Keith Southern, footballer for Blackpool.

0:15:490:15:53

An Indian meal, you went too specific there.

0:15:530:15:56

And not Eastern Standard Time, but Atlantic Standard Time.

0:15:560:15:59

Southern, Indian, Atlantic, getting bigger, Pacific.

0:15:590:16:02

Well done, bonus point to you, Technologists,

0:16:020:16:05

and the chance to choose your own question.

0:16:050:16:08

Er, horned, er, slug, viper?

0:16:080:16:10

The horned viper. Well recognised.

0:16:100:16:13

Your first clue of the sequence is coming up. What's fourth? Starts now.

0:16:130:16:18

Oh, God.

0:16:210:16:22

Lord of the Rings. He's a king.

0:16:220:16:25

I think it's the only one anyone knows, but we need more.

0:16:250:16:28

Next, please.

0:16:280:16:29

These are people who are ring-bearers.

0:16:290:16:33

Smeagol, then Gollum.

0:16:330:16:36

Then it's got to be Frodo, right?

0:16:360:16:38

I think... I don't want to go for it.

0:16:390:16:41

-See if Gollum's there.

-Yeah, next.

0:16:410:16:43

Bilbo. It is Frodo.

0:16:450:16:46

-BELL

-Er, Frodo Baggins.

0:16:460:16:49

Ah, you should have come in after two clues.

0:16:490:16:51

It is Frodo. They are the wearers of the one ring

0:16:510:16:54

in Tolkein's Lord Of The Rings.

0:16:540:16:56

The next to wear the ring, Frodo.

0:16:560:16:58

Back to you, Analysts.

0:16:580:16:59

Only the Eye of Horus that remains. So your first clue is coming up now.

0:16:590:17:05

M40 London to Oxford and Birmingham.

0:17:060:17:09

Next.

0:17:090:17:11

And M1, is it clockwise round?

0:17:120:17:15

Or it could be going east.

0:17:150:17:16

Yeah, clockwise going east.

0:17:160:17:18

Depends if...

0:17:180:17:19

M1, M11.

0:17:190:17:21

Then the one after that's going to be...

0:17:210:17:24

Is it, or is it something else?

0:17:240:17:26

Next, please.

0:17:260:17:27

Is it going to be M11?

0:17:270:17:30

It's going that way round.

0:17:300:17:31

BELL

0:17:310:17:34

The M11.

0:17:340:17:36

Excellent. It is the M11. Why is it?

0:17:360:17:39

Um, starting in the west and moving clockwise,

0:17:390:17:44

those are motorways on exit from London.

0:17:440:17:47

-Basically, yes. They are motorways with junctions on the M25.

-M25.

0:17:470:17:51

The orbital ring road. And it's going clockwise.

0:17:510:17:53

Next after the A1(M) would be the M11. Well done.

0:17:530:17:57

That means, at the end of Round Two, the Technologists have five points,

0:17:570:18:02

but the Analysts are ahead with eight.

0:18:020:18:04

It's Connecting Wall time.

0:18:060:18:07

If you want to play along at the same time,

0:18:070:18:10

quickly, get a computer, quickly, hurry! Plug it in!

0:18:100:18:13

It's live online at the same time.

0:18:130:18:15

For you, though, Analysts, it will be on the screen.

0:18:150:18:19

So, please choose lion or water.

0:18:190:18:22

Lion, please, Victoria.

0:18:220:18:24

You have two and a half minutes

0:18:240:18:26

to solve this wall, starting now.

0:18:260:18:29

Um, got some plants.

0:18:330:18:35

Got some diseases.

0:18:350:18:38

Plants and skin diseases. Impetigo, hives.

0:18:420:18:45

A hickey's a skin thing, isn't it?

0:18:450:18:47

Ringworm is as well, isn't it?

0:18:470:18:49

Yes. Eurgh.

0:18:490:18:50

No.

0:18:530:18:54

I don't know what purpura is.

0:18:540:18:56

Could be a plant.

0:18:560:18:58

Actually, hickey's more of a bite, isn't it?

0:18:580:19:00

I'd have gone for ringworm instead.

0:19:000:19:02

That'll do.

0:19:020:19:04

So we've got names. There's Atticus Finch.

0:19:060:19:09

Yeah, there's a load of girls' names.

0:19:090:19:13

There's a load of plants.

0:19:130:19:15

Isn't the potato from some weird

0:19:150:19:17

family like the same as the bell...

0:19:170:19:19

Are they all in the same family?

0:19:300:19:32

I suspect they might be.

0:19:320:19:34

You've used one minute.

0:19:340:19:35

Oh, hang on.

0:19:400:19:41

-Yeah.

-What?

0:19:410:19:43

I think they're all newspaper columns, aren't they?

0:19:430:19:47

Oh, yeah. Yes, yes.

0:19:470:19:48

Mini, Franky, Cassie and Effy.

0:19:480:19:51

Are they characters in something?

0:19:510:19:53

Er...

0:19:530:19:55

The Banana Splits?

0:19:570:19:59

No, no, not the Banana Splits.

0:19:590:20:01

I don't know this.

0:20:010:20:02

Not Josie And The Pussycats either.

0:20:020:20:04

Um...

0:20:040:20:06

Cassie, no.

0:20:080:20:10

Those are all newspaper columns?

0:20:110:20:14

What...

0:20:140:20:15

Do you want to try them?

0:20:150:20:17

That's it. You've solved the wall.

0:20:190:20:22

Very well done.

0:20:220:20:23

That's four points for those groups,

0:20:230:20:25

and there are bonus points for the connections.

0:20:250:20:28

So, purpura, ringworm, hives, impetigo.

0:20:280:20:31

Um, skin conditions.

0:20:310:20:33

Are they?

0:20:330:20:34

Yeah, well, I'll take it.

0:20:340:20:35

Skin discolourations, really.

0:20:350:20:37

Things that cause the skin to be discoloured.

0:20:370:20:40

Next group, belladonna, potato, oleander, peony.

0:20:400:20:44

Um, extreme examples of plants from the same family.

0:20:440:20:48

That's not the answer, and I think...

0:20:480:20:51

I was lenient on the first one, and I really can't take that.

0:20:510:20:55

They're not from the same family.

0:20:550:20:57

They are poisonous.

0:20:570:20:58

Poisonous plants.

0:20:580:21:00

The potato's plant has toxins,

0:21:000:21:01

glycoalkoloids. All poisonous plants.

0:21:010:21:04

Next group, Hickey, Atticus, Mandrake, Pandora.

0:21:040:21:08

Er, newspaper columns.

0:21:080:21:10

Can you give me any more?

0:21:100:21:12

-Gossip columns?

-Um, yeah. Gossipy, Westminstery...

0:21:120:21:16

They're newspaper diary columns.

0:21:160:21:18

Atticus in the Sunday Times,

0:21:180:21:20

Hickey in the Daily Express, William Hickey before.

0:21:200:21:22

We saw mandrakes earlier in the quiz.

0:21:220:21:24

Mandrake is the Telegraph, and Pandora in the Independent.

0:21:240:21:28

And the last group, Mini, Frank, Effy, Cassie.

0:21:280:21:32

Mm, not so sure about this one.

0:21:320:21:35

Um, members of the Saturdays.

0:21:350:21:38

No, you know they're characters from something.

0:21:380:21:41

If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. It's the E4 teenage drama Skins.

0:21:410:21:45

-Characters from Skins.

-Fair enough.

0:21:450:21:47

Four points for the groups, two more connections. That's six.

0:21:470:21:51

Time to bring in their opponents and see what they can do with the connecting wall. 16 clues.

0:21:510:21:56

Still jumbled up, still needs to be sorted

0:21:560:21:59

into four connected groups of four.

0:21:590:22:01

Technologists, it will be the water wall for you.

0:22:010:22:04

Two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.

0:22:040:22:08

OK.

0:22:090:22:11

Royal families?

0:22:110:22:12

Martello's a kind of castle.

0:22:160:22:18

Tower, yeah, ivory tower.

0:22:180:22:20

Conning Tower. Shall we go for that one?

0:22:200:22:22

And Lookout tower?

0:22:220:22:24

There's going to be a fifth.

0:22:240:22:25

Good Tower? Royle Tower?

0:22:250:22:27

Bell tower.

0:22:270:22:28

OK. Go for it.

0:22:280:22:30

-Very good.

-That was quick.

0:22:300:22:33

Um, Roper is a character in... um...

0:22:330:22:36

Good. Barbara Good.

0:22:360:22:38

Royle. These are surnames... Trotter and Bucket.

0:22:380:22:42

-They're all surnames from TV programmes.

-Of families.

0:22:420:22:45

And Roper's... Kranky.

0:22:450:22:48

Kranky is definitely a TV family, isn't it?

0:22:480:22:50

Do you want to keep going through?

0:22:500:22:52

So... No good.

0:22:520:22:55

Shill, Roper...

0:22:550:22:56

Bucket.

0:22:560:22:58

Now Trotter.

0:22:580:23:00

Royle.

0:23:000:23:01

Wormwood.

0:23:010:23:03

It's a little more complicated.

0:23:030:23:05

To shill is to fool someone.

0:23:050:23:06

But that's conning.

0:23:060:23:08

What's wormwood? It's in drinks.

0:23:080:23:10

Wormwood's in Absinthe.

0:23:100:23:12

It's also, I believe...

0:23:120:23:14

Oh, a shill is a victim,

0:23:140:23:15

or mark is a victim.

0:23:150:23:16

Perhaps they...

0:23:160:23:18

OK, these are all scams.

0:23:180:23:21

You've got a lookout and a bucket.

0:23:210:23:23

Yeah, well done.

0:23:230:23:24

Or maybe a trotter.

0:23:240:23:26

Medford.

0:23:260:23:27

Wormwood is at the end of the...

0:23:320:23:35

It's fire and brimstone stuff.

0:23:350:23:37

Yeah, Revelations.

0:23:370:23:39

Kent Brockman is the...

0:23:390:23:41

Wormwood's something in Harry Potter but...

0:23:410:23:43

Yeah, that's another surname for him.

0:23:430:23:46

No, they're families, right?

0:23:510:23:53

The Royle family, Kranky,

0:23:530:23:55

There's going to be something we haven't got yet.

0:23:550:23:58

Medford, Royle. It's going to be Lookout tower.

0:24:030:24:06

Yep. No, we've got the towers.

0:24:080:24:10

So we...

0:24:100:24:11

You're under 30 seconds now.

0:24:110:24:13

I think these are scam victims,

0:24:190:24:21

scam slang, but we might be missing one.

0:24:210:24:24

Roper, to rope people in?

0:24:240:24:25

Yeah, sure.

0:24:250:24:27

Sounds good.

0:24:270:24:28

Um, and shill.

0:24:280:24:30

Under ten seconds.

0:24:300:24:31

And we guess something randomly.

0:24:310:24:33

Five seconds.

0:24:330:24:34

-And we guess something else randomly.

-Families.

0:24:340:24:37

No, that's it, we're out of time.

0:24:370:24:39

The grid's frozen. But you got two groups, two points,

0:24:390:24:42

and I can give you more points for the connections.

0:24:420:24:45

Bell, Martello, Ivory, Conning.

0:24:450:24:47

They're all towers.

0:24:470:24:48

They're all towers.

0:24:480:24:50

Martello Tower, a fort built in the Napoleonic wars,

0:24:500:24:53

Conning tower on a submarine.

0:24:530:24:55

Mark, lookout, roper, shill.

0:24:550:24:57

These are all slang from scams, heists.

0:24:570:25:00

That's it. Participants in a scam. Roper, you came to late.

0:25:000:25:04

That's the person who gets people's attention, ropes them in.

0:25:040:25:07

You can still get points for connections in the other groups.

0:25:070:25:11

Let's resolve the wall.

0:25:110:25:12

Brockman, Medford, Royle, Good.

0:25:120:25:14

Surnames of families from TV?

0:25:140:25:17

Yeah, the Goods.

0:25:170:25:19

Those are the British sitcom families.

0:25:190:25:21

Terry and June Medford, the wonderful Terry And June.

0:25:210:25:24

The Brockmans are in Outnumbered.

0:25:240:25:26

Royle, The Royle Family, of course,

0:25:260:25:28

and Tom and Barbara Good from The Good Life.

0:25:280:25:31

And the last group. Bucket, Trotter, Kranky, Wormwood.

0:25:310:25:34

These are Roald Dahl characters.

0:25:340:25:36

They are Roald Dahl characters.

0:25:360:25:38

Yes, which one is James And The Giant Peach, then?

0:25:380:25:41

Charlie Bucket. Or, possibly not.

0:25:410:25:43

Charlie Bucket'll be your man from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

0:25:430:25:47

It's James Trotter from James And The Giant Peach.

0:25:470:25:50

George Kranky, George's Marvellous Medicine,

0:25:500:25:53

and what's Wormwood's first name?

0:25:530:25:55

-Matilda?

-That's Matilda.

0:25:550:25:56

Two points for the groups you found,

0:25:560:25:58

four points for the connections,

0:25:580:26:00

that's six points.

0:26:000:26:02

Let's see the scores going into the final round.

0:26:020:26:05

The Technologists have got 11 points,

0:26:050:26:08

but the Analysts are ahead with 14.

0:26:080:26:11

So Round Four will be decisive. The missing vowels round.

0:26:120:26:15

We've taken the vowels out of well-known names, phrases, sayings.

0:26:150:26:19

Or perhaps not so well-known, this being the Quarter Final.

0:26:190:26:23

What are those disguised clues?

0:26:230:26:25

Fingers on buzzers.

0:26:250:26:27

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

0:26:270:26:31

-BELL Technologists?

-Giant Salamander.

-Yes.

0:26:330:26:36

-BELL Technologists?

Too long. You lose a point. Possible bonus, Analysts.

0:27:230:27:27

That's too long as well. It's "suet".

0:27:270:27:29

Next clue.

0:27:290:27:31

-BELL Analysts?

-Ghee.

-Correct.

0:27:320:27:35

-BELL Technologists?

but the winners with 19 are the Analysts.

Unlucky, Technologists.

A brilliant Round Four from you, and a great quiz.

Analysts, you are through to the Semi Finals. Very well done.

0:28:320:28:36

Thank you for watching. See you next time.

0:28:360:28:38

And I can see you. We have a special camera.

0:28:380:28:42

Stop doing that at once!

0:28:420:28:44

Goodbye.
