0:00:21 > 0:00:25Hello and welcome to Only Connect, and this is a semifinal.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Things don't get much bigger than this -
0:00:27 > 0:00:29although, as the word "semi" suggests,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32they do get a LITTLE bit bigger. Our teams should be proud
0:00:32 > 0:00:35of working their way into the Only Connect semifinals.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Contestants on other quiz shows couldn't work their way
0:00:38 > 0:00:42out of the Only Connect car park, That's not to disrespect them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45All right, it is. Let's see who's come along to play ours.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48On my right, Paul Steeples, an English graduate
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and Altringham FC supporter,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54William De Ath, a business analyst who enjoys foreign cinema
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and playing badminton, and their captain, David Lea,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00a political-risk analyst and rugby enthusiast
0:01:00 > 0:01:03who also plays football for his local team.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06They've beaten the Editors and the Technologists
0:01:06 > 0:01:09to earn a place in the semifinal. They are the Analysts.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Quite a close quarterfinal against the Technologists!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- How are you feeling? - Well, just glad to be back,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17is the main thing, but looking forward to it.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Raring to go.- Well, let's see who you're up against this time.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24On my left, Colin Whorlow,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27a civil servant and PG Wodehouse fan who enjoys playing darts,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Nick Atty, a civil servant and classical-music aficionado
0:01:31 > 0:01:33who enjoys canal-boating,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36and their captain James Hastie, a maths graduate
0:01:36 > 0:01:39who enjoys setting crosswords and playing poker online.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42They are all members of an executive council trade-union group.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46They are the Trade Unionists. Now, you beat the Edwards family
0:01:46 > 0:01:50in a nail-biting quarterfinal. How have you prepared for this match?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53We were all incredibly stressed after the quarterfinal,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55so we went away and did something dull to unwind,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58so, for example, Nick went and painted his boat,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and Colin went to Norway.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Poor Norway!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Not "poor Norway" that Colin went to visit,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09but that it's dismissed as dull. Let's play the quiz.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10We'll start with Round One.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13What is the connection between apparently random clues?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Unionists, you won the toss, but you cruelly decided
0:02:16 > 0:02:19to shove the Analysts over the parapet first.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23So, Analysts, please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Horned viper, please.- Horned viper.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30OK. Here is the first clue of the semifinal,
0:02:30 > 0:02:31coming up now.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Hmm...
0:02:35 > 0:02:37THEY WHISPER
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Next, please.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- It's sort of the opposite. It's too straightforward.- Yes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Can't guess on that. - No. Next, please.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Some of these are going to be mnemonics.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01WILLIAM WHISPERS
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Ten seconds.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- You can go next again if you want. - Next.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Three seconds.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11BELL They're things that...
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Well, if it's them...- Go on. Say.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Are they placards at that rally that Jon Stewart had in the States?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Goodness me! I can almost see the lightbulb over the top of your head,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24with two seconds to spare! They are slogans
0:03:24 > 0:03:28from the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32which was the 2010 satirical rally hosted by Jon Stewart
0:03:32 > 0:03:36and Stephen Colbert, the comedians, in response to Glenn Beck,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Glenn Beck's Rally to Restore Honor. Very well done!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Came in at the last there. - Well done, Paul.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43That's a point to you. Over to the Trade Unionists
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- to choose a question. - Eye of Horus, please.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50The Eye of Horus. Here is your first clue now.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54THEY WHISPER
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Next, please.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02That doesn't mean anything to me. Next, please.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Ubu Roi is a play, an Absurdist play. - Right.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Um, a play... I can't remember who wrote it, though.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Yeah. Better... Next, please.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Oscar Wilde: The Musical...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Um...- Ten seconds.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22THEY WHISPER
0:04:23 > 0:04:26It doesn't mean anything to me, I'm afraid.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Three seconds.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30BELL
0:04:30 > 0:04:32We'll go with, they're all Absurdist plays.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35They are not all Absurdist plays.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38So, Analysts, your chance for a bonus.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40They were all banned before performance.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42They were not,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45although you're both clawing towards the right answer.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47They are all plays or musicals
0:04:47 > 0:04:50which closed on their opening night.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Oh!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54La Strada was a Lionel Bart flop
0:04:54 > 0:04:57about travelling-circus performers.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Kelly, a musical about a man who claimed to have jumped
0:05:00 > 0:05:02off the Brooklyn Bridge and survived,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Ubu Roi, an avant-garde play. Oscar Wilde was the musical
0:05:05 > 0:05:07by Mike Read, the DJ.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I always have trouble with this
0:05:09 > 0:05:12as a category, cos when I hear something's closed
0:05:12 > 0:05:14on its opening night, I want to see it immediately!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18But it's a paradox. You can't go. I'd like to have seen a musical
0:05:18 > 0:05:20that was so bad it closed on the first night.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24The worst play I ever saw was a Fringe piece called Toilets,
0:05:24 > 0:05:29in which a woman stood in a giant papier-mache toilet
0:05:29 > 0:05:33and recited The Waste Land. Can you think why, for the next question?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36"Toilets" is a TS Eliot anagram.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38"Toilets" is an anagram of TS Eliot.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I say that's not a reason to stage that particular production,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and I say that having sat through it.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47No points there. Back to you, Analysts, to choose a question.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Lion, please.- OK.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- These are going to be picture clues. - THEY GROAN
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Here's the first one.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Y-fronts.- Next, please.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Possibly...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Is that a mini-....
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Y...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Er... I haven't a clue.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09THEY WHISPER
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Say next.- Next, please.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Burger...- Big Mac, is it?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Bite?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Next, please.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Under ten seconds now.- Er...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Three seconds.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- BELL - No. Not a clue.- No?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Not going to have a guess? Trade Unionists, how about you?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Oh, yes. Could be. - What's the burger called?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Hello?- Oh, sorry! They're all things that have been added
0:06:44 > 0:06:46to the Retail Price Index calculator.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49They have not, although it is an economic link.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52They are traditionally economic indicators.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54The last one, it's new-house sales.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Underpants is a favourite one of Alan Greenspan.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02The idea is that, in hard times, people don't buy new underwear.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05If sales of underpants are dropping, people are feeling the pinch.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09The miniskirt, people say that skirts are higher in boom times.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11The Big Mac is a term devised by The Economist
0:07:11 > 0:07:16to demonstrate buying power, what a Big Mac costs in various countries.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18So it was economic, but not exactly that one.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Still, Trade Unionists, another question for you.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Two reeds, please. - BELL CHIMES
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Oh, sorry, guys.- Sorry, guys. It's the music question.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30You'll be hearing the clues. The first one's coming in now.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32# The gas tap wouldn't turn
0:07:32 > 0:07:35# I wasn't getting gas at all #
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Next, please.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39# Always take a big bite
0:07:39 > 0:07:41# It's such a gorgeous sight
0:07:41 > 0:07:45# To see you eat in the middle of the night #
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- THEY WHISPER - Next, please.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- # These days are ours - # Happy and free #
0:07:50 > 0:07:53That's it. Monday, Tuesday. Yeah. OK.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55BELL
0:07:55 > 0:07:58These songs go through the days of the week,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01so the first one was The Gas Man by Flanders and Swann,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05which goes Monday, Tuesday, and I'm not certain about the second one,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08and the third one was Happy Days, which is Sunday, Monday, Happy Days,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. - You're quite right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13After three clues, you get two points.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16That second one was Friday I'm In Love from The Cure.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18You didn't hear Seven Days from Sting,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22but they mention all the days of the week in some sort of order.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Back to you, Analysts. - Twisted flax, please.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27All right. First clue coming up now.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- It's "golf".- Yes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Um...- Well, word derivations.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Yeah. Next, please.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- "Tip". To insure promptness. - Yes, I think.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45They're false... I think they're false etymologies.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50BELL
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- They're false acronym etymologies. - That's a perfect answer.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Coming in after two clues, you get three points.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00People believe that "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden"
0:09:00 > 0:09:02is the etymology of the word "golf", but it isn't.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05"To Insure Promptness" for "tip", "Save Our Souls" for SOS,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08"Port Out, Starboard Home" for "posh".
0:09:08 > 0:09:12People believe they gave rise to those words, but no. It's false,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15so well done. Trade Unionists, there is one remaining question,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18water, and the first clue is coming up now.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22THEY WHISPER
0:09:22 > 0:09:25In Revelations. Next, please.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- It's piano... - THEY WHISPER
0:09:29 > 0:09:35It could be. Let's take a look. Next, please.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- That doesn't help at all. - THEY WHISPER
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Next, please.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Burghers of Prague... - Oh, there's statues of them...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47in, um, Prague.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- THEY WHISPER - Ten seconds.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52THEY WHISPER
0:09:52 > 0:09:54OK, we'll go for that.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Yes.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57BELL Statues in Warsaw.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01There are statues of them in Czechoslovakia.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04There are not statues of all of those things in Czechoslovakia,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08so there is a possible bonus chance for the Analysts.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11They're sculptures by Rodin?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14No, nothing to do with sculptures or statues.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18They were all defenestrated. They all went through windows.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Jezebel was thrown through a window by her own servants.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Chopin's piano thrown out of the window by Russian troops.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Jan Masaryk, a Czech foreign minister,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29there was a theory he jumped out of the window.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Now they think he was pushed.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34The Burghers of Prague were attacked by a mob
0:10:34 > 0:10:38who threw them out the window. Defenestration is the grisly answer.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41At the end of Round One, the Trade Unionists have two points.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44The Analysts are ahead with four.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Yes, it's a very tough semifinal, and it's going to get harder,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53because in Round Two I want to know what is the fourth clue
0:10:53 > 0:10:56in a sequence. You may only see a maximum of three
0:10:56 > 0:10:59before giving me the answer. Analysts, you're going first again.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Please choose a hieroglyph. - Water, please.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05OK. First in a sequence coming up. What is fourth?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Time starts now.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Could be almost anything.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Next.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Oh, it's to do with sound. Um...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Yes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It's to do with the characteristics of sound.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Yeah, it is. I can't think what the order of them is, though.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Shall we have another one, then? - Next.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Sustain.- Yeah. That wasn't...
0:11:33 > 0:11:37I knew that was going to be there, but not if it was third or fourth.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Could be echo. Could be fade. - Five seconds.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Fade?- Yeah.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- BELL - Fade.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I'm afraid not. Possible bonus chance, Trade Unionists?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Release.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Release is the answer. It is to do with sound.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58The clue is, it's known as the ADSR envelope of sounds,
0:11:58 > 0:12:03stages of a musical note. The last one begins with R. It is release.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It's a bonus to you, Unionists. Please pick your own question.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Two reeds, please.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11OK. This is going to be a series of picture clues.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14What would you expect to see in the last picture?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Here's the first one.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19THEY WHISPER
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Next, please.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25That's Jay Leno.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- It could be... - THEY WHISPER
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Oh, could be. Next, please.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- That could be K.- That could be K.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I could well believe that's "K" somebody.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38THEY WHISPER
0:12:38 > 0:12:41That's as good as anything else, yeah.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Yeah.- That would work.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Yeah. - BELL
0:12:45 > 0:12:48L Ron Hubbard, for example.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51You're more highbrow than we are. We went for Elle Macpherson.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54"Somebody with the name L" is what I want to hear.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58You didn't recognise the tennis player, "I" Sugiyama.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- No, we didn't.- "J" Leno, "K" Adams, the TV presenter.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Names who sound like letters of the alphabet.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I, J, K. I wanted to hear an L. You went with L Ron Hubbard.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Are you Scientologists?- No.- No.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Would you tell us if you were?
0:13:14 > 0:13:15No.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Back to you, Analysts, to choose a question.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Horned viper, please. - First clue in a sequence coming up.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24What's fourth? Time starts now.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28THEY WHISPER
0:13:31 > 0:13:33OK. Next, please.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36The Path To Power...
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Oh, it's not... Jules...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Yeah. Yeah, I think it is.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Next, please.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- It is.- Is it?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Someone had four books out.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Ten seconds.- Yeah. That was... That would be my guess.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- OK. - BELL
0:14:00 > 0:14:03The History Of The English Speaking People.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I'm afraid not. Possible bonus chance for you, Trade Unionists.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Um...- Somebody say something.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I was going to say A Dream From My Fathers,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- the Obama last book.- That would have been a reasonable guess.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Not right, though. They are prime ministers' autobiographies.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23James Callaghan's autobiography Time And Chance is the first one.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Fourth would be Tony Blair's A Journey.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Prime ministers in sequence of offices.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30The Path To Power, Margaret Thatcher,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34and The Autobiography - God bless him, it's the most exciting title
0:14:34 > 0:14:37that John Major could come up with. That's him.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Then Tony Blair, A Journey. Trade Unionists, back to you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Lion, please.- OK. First in a sequence coming up now.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Neoprotero...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- New something.- Next, please.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Paleolithic...
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- We need another one. - OK. Next, please.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Meso...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Paleolithic, Mesolithic...
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Is it Neolithic, then? - Yes.- Worth a shot?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- We've got longer.- Yes, we have got some time, haven't we?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Paleolithic.- Paleo...
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Paleo, meso... I don't think it's anything other than meso.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- We're not going to get anything. - They are the Stone Ages. Go on.- OK.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20BELL
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Neo, dot-dot-dot. - Not a sequence, I'm afraid.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26So it's a chance for you, Analysts.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Um, ceno, dot-dot-dot. - It is ceno. Can you explain why?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Neoproterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic
0:15:33 > 0:15:38are the other periods that life on Earth is divided into.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42That is it. "Zoic", geological eras, from a billion years ago
0:15:42 > 0:15:45to the present day. We are living in the Cenozoic era.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47That's a bonus point to you. Well done.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50And your own question, if you'd like to choose.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Eye of Horus, please. - What's the fourth in this sequence?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Here's the first.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Next, please.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh, here we go.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- HE SIGHS - 1/1, 8/1.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Um...
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Next?- Next, please.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Cubed days of the year, so 64th day...
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- A normal year...- Er...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20THEY WHISPER
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Is it five? Six?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Five?- Yeah. Five.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28BELL
0:16:28 > 0:16:305th of March.
0:16:30 > 0:16:36"Here we go", indeed. 5th of March is the answer I was looking for,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38or 4th of March as it would have been in a leap year.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41They are cube-numbered days of the year.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44One cubed, two cubed, three cubed and four cubed
0:16:44 > 0:16:47would make the 64th day of the year, March the 4th or 5th.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Yeah.- Well calculated.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Back to you, and there is only one question remaining,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56the twisted flax. First clue in a sequence coming up now.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01THEY WHISPER
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Next, please.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09THEY WHISPER
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We had a mnemonic "in 1852". I can't imagine it's that.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Next, please.
0:17:15 > 0:17:171949. They're going backwards.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Is this something to do with withdrawing from Germany,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24or Allied...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- THEY WHISPER - Ten seconds.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29THEY WHISPER
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- The USA. - Make the most of the time we've got.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- 1947... - BELL
0:17:34 > 0:17:371st: America, 1947.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I'm afraid it isn't. So, Analysts, you get a bonus chance.
0:17:40 > 0:17:451st: United States, 1945, because they're the first atom-bomb tests.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49That is what I wanted to hear. They are the first four countries
0:17:49 > 0:17:52to become nuclear powers, dated from when they held tests,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56and the first was the United States in 1945.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59So, very well done. That means, at the end of Round Two,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01the Trade Unionists are up to five points,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04but the Analysts are ahead with eight.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Connecting Wall time, and it will be going live online
0:18:09 > 0:18:11if you'd like to play along.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Trade Unionists, it is your turn to go first.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Please choose lion or water. - Lion, please.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Right. You have two and a half minutes to solve this Wall,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22starting now.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26THEY WHISPER
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Laplace is a distribution, so let's go with that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35There are words for fish, but Poisson isn't one of them.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- THEY WHISPER - OK. Binomial...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Chi-Rho, Laplace.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Miss out Chi-Rho. There we go.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47You've got words for fish, haven't you? Pesci, Pez,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51and one other. Chi-Rho's a fish symbol.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- OK, we'll try it.- Joe Pesci...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Rene Russo...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59OK.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Danny Glover... Ah, these are stars from Lethal Weapon.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05There's Christian symbols in there as well.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Hang on. The Christian symbol.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12The Crucifix, the Chi-Rho, the Fish and...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15and one other.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Shall we get those out? Cos we don't know what the fourth is.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- So, Fish, Chi-Rho.- Crucifix.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Crucifix.- Pez?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Right.- You've used a minute. - BUZZ
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Peacock might be something that has...- Go for it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Right. So... Now, let's have a look.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Glover, Russo, Pesci and Gibson. That's Medicine, Advice,
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Pez... Things you can dispense. Dispense advice. Dispense Pez.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45So that's Pesci, Glover, Russo and Gibson... Yes!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Solved the Wall! Very well done. Four points immediately.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52What about the extra points for telling me the connections?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Poisson, Laplace, Normal, Binomial.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Distributions in probability theory. - Yeah. Probability distributions
0:19:58 > 0:20:03in statistics. Next group - Fish, Chi-Rho, Peacock, Crucifix.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06These are Christian symbols,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09things displayed to show that one is a Christian.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11They're Christian symbols. Why Chi-Rho?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15That must be something to do with Jesus Christ.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Chi is the symbol for Jesus,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21and Rho is... Is it "son of" or something like that?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Is it obvious I don't know what I'm talking about?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It's just the beginning of "Christ", C-H-R.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Maybe that's just it, yes. - Are you a heathen?
0:20:29 > 0:20:30I'm afraid so.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33They are the Greek letters at the start of Christ's name.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Glover, Russo, Gibson, Pesci.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38These are stars of the Lethal Weapon films,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Danny Glover, Rene Russo, Mel Gibson and Joe Pesci.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45They all appear regularly in the Lethal Weapon series.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And Medicine, Advice, Pez, Justice.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50These are things that can be dispensed.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53They are. I have to congratulate you
0:20:53 > 0:20:55on some rather good Wall strategy there.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59You saved the group you knew, and didn't do it second,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01so as not to be stuck when you didn't know.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Good tactics.- Well done, you two. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:03 > 0:21:06We've been trying to put that tactic in since day one.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It's the first time we've had the chance.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Four points for the groups you found, four for the connections,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16the extra two for getting it right. That is the maximum of ten.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Time for their opponents to see what they can do with the Wall.
0:21:19 > 0:21:2416 new clues still need sorting into four connected groups of four.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Analysts, you've got the water wall. You've got two and a half minutes
0:21:27 > 0:21:30starting now.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33OK.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Watusi's a dance. Charleston, too. Turkey trot and Bunny hop is a dance.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Madison is a dance.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43THEY WHISPER
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- BUZZ - OK.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52There's another one. Madison. That would be five then.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Who's Plushenko? We don't know. - Er...
0:21:59 > 0:22:01BUZZ There's the Jerk, as well.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03There's just too many.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Animals and dances.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08BUZZ Is it jump or something?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12OK. Masala's a sauce. It's...
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Yeah. Masala's a sauce, Jerk's a sauce, Curry's a sauce.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Um...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23THEY WHISPER
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Um, Dean, Madison... Anything from that?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- BUZZ No.- You've used a minute.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Some chicken, then. Can we nail that?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- BUZZ - We tried, and failed to do it.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40We didn't leave out either of those two.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Yeah, OK.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Um...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46THEY WHISPER
0:22:49 > 0:22:51And Madison, I think, isn't it?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- There's also the... - BUZZ
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- We can't leave Turkey trot, though. - We can't leave Watusi.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Right.- OK.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Christmas things. Macy's parade, Pumpkin pie.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Thanksgiving?- We Gather...
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You're under a minute now.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- Curry and Cousins are skaters. Witt! - And Dean.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14BUZZ Oh, someone else!
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Plushenko must be.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Curry's probably a sauce. BUZZ
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yeah.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23There we go.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Um...
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Turkey trot. Is that to do with Christmas?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Turkey trot, Macy's, Pumpkin pie and We Gather Together?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You've solved the Wall! Very well done.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Four points to you. Let's go through the groups.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Watusi, Charleston, Madison, Bunny hop.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Dances. - They are. Dance crazes, absolutely.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Plushenko, Dean, Cousins, Witt.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Um, ice skaters.- I'll take it.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55They're Olympic figure-skating champions -
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Katarina Witt, Christopher Dean, Robin Cousins and Evgeni Plushenko.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Ice skaters. Next one - Pumpkin pie, Turkey Trot,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Macy's parade and We Gather Together.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Things associated with Thanksgiving.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11That's right. We Gather Together, a song sung at Thanksgiving.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14They are all part of the festival in America.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18And the last group - Jerk, Curry, Baharat, Masala?
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Hot sauces, specifically for... Well, for chicken mostly, but...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I'll take it. They are hot, spicy sauces
0:24:25 > 0:24:29or spice mixes. Jerk, Curry, Baharat, Masala.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Spicy sauces. Very good. Four points for the groups that you've found,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36four for the connections, two extra for getting it all right -
0:24:36 > 0:24:38that's the maximum of ten points.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Let's see how that affect the scores going into Round Four.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44The Trade Unionists have got 15 points,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47but the Analysts are ahead with 18.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51That's bad news for you. You had a great Wall,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54but your opponents also scored the maximum.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Is Round Four a strong round for you?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01No. It's the one we've always felt was a weak point for us.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Well, maybe it won't be tonight. What do you think, Analysts?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Usually at Round Four, one member of a team comes forward
0:25:08 > 0:25:11as the missing-vowels player. Have you got one of those?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15We've shared them evenly so far, but who knows what this game will bring?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Are you confident you can consolidate the lead?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Do I look especially confident?- Yes.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25But there are so many points available here. You lose them
0:25:25 > 0:25:27if you get it wrong. You gain them if you get it right.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30There's only a three-point gap, so it's all to play for.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Either team could make the final, but they won't unless we play.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38We've simply taken out the vowels from certain phrases and sayings.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42We've squidged up the consonants. Unpick those hidden clues.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Fingers on buzzers, teams, then. This is for a place in the final.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51The first group all have airports named after them.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Analysts?- Louis Armstrong.- Correct.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Analysts?- Lech Walesa.- Correct.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Trade Unionists? - Queen Beatrix.- Correct.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Everyone's favourite. It's Ayatollah Khomeini.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Next category, French names for the Mr Men.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- BELL - Analysts?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Monsieur Bizarre. - Mr Nonsense. Correct.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Unionists?- Monsieur Croix?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I'm afraid not. You lose a point. Analysts, want to have a go?
0:26:39 > 0:26:44No? It's Monsieur Curieux, Mr Nosey. Next clue.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Unionists?- Monsieur Incroyable.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51That's right. Mr Impossible.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Analysts?- Monsieur Non. - A specifically French one, that.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Mr No. Next category, game show catchphrases.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Don't know this one? From Strike It Lucky,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11"What is a hot spot not?"
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Next clue.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20No? From Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23"But we don't want to give you that." Next clue.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Unionists?- "Bernie, the bolt." - From The Golden Shot. Correct.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Unionists?- "Keep dancing." - From Strictly Come Dancing.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Next category, air pollutants.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Unionists?- Ozone.- You're right.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Unionists?- Cigarette smoke.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50END-OF-ROUND JINGLE
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I personally don't consider cigarette smoke a pollutant,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56but our question setters do, so you get the point.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58But that is the end of the round,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01and looking at the final scores,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05the Trade Unionists have improved to a very impressive 20 points,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08but the winners, and through to the final with 22 points,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12it's the Analysts. Very well done. You've got that place in the final.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Well done, guys. - Well done to you too, Unionists.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It was a really tough quiz, and you did extremely well.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Very close result. I'm sorry to see you go.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Thank you for watching. If you enjoyed it, please join us again,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27or, if you prefer something a little easier to work out,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30try the Arab-Israeli conflict. Goodbye.
