I don't want my pain taken away.

0:00:210:00:24

I need my pain.

0:00:240:00:26

So said Captain Kirk in Star Trek V, The Final Frontier.

0:00:260:00:30

He'd just heard that Only Connect might be axed

0:00:300:00:33

due to the budget cuts. But don't worry, James!

0:00:330:00:35

The quiz is back and the pain is deeper than ever.

0:00:350:00:38

And with that welcome ringing in their ears, let's meet the teams.

0:00:380:00:42

On my right, Paul Steeples,

0:00:420:00:45

a civil servant with a passion for architectural photography.

0:00:450:00:48

William De Ath, a business analyst

0:00:480:00:51

who enjoys scuba diving and reading Kurt Vonnegut novels.

0:00:510:00:54

And their captain, David Lea, a political and security risk analyst

0:00:540:00:58

who plays cricket for his local team and is a keen supporter of Liverpool FC.

0:00:580:01:03

They all work as professional analysts.

0:01:030:01:05

No surprise to learn that they are the Analysts.

0:01:050:01:08

So is an analytical mind useful for playing quizzes?

0:01:080:01:11

Erm, I think it's all about picking the salient nugget out of a wider field of information,

0:01:110:01:16

so that might come in handy here.

0:01:160:01:18

Everything comes in handy here. There will be salient nuggets wherever you look.

0:01:180:01:23

-Not least on the dinner break.

-We like a good salient nugget.

0:01:230:01:26

You are facing tonight, on my left, Wendy Toole,

0:01:260:01:30

an English graduate who works as a freelance editor and proofreader.

0:01:300:01:34

Rod Cuff, a copy editor with a PhD in human computer interaction and an interest in astronomy,

0:01:340:01:40

And their captain, Ali Turnbull,

0:01:400:01:42

a web content editor who enjoys fell walking

0:01:420:01:45

and is a dedicated campaigner for improving rural broadband.

0:01:450:01:49

They spend their working lives dotting the Is and crossing the Ts. They are the Editors.

0:01:490:01:54

So, I'm expecting meticulous attention to detail from you.

0:01:540:01:58

-What else are you bringing to the table?

-As freelances,

0:01:580:02:01

we cover a wide range of topics from, for example, chicken boning machinery to extreme fire juggling,

0:02:010:02:07

so we hope we'll find something up there to grab hold of and make a connection.

0:02:070:02:11

I believe that is one of the connections in Round One. Let's find out by playing it.

0:02:110:02:17

Round One. What is the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:02:170:02:21

But if you see fewer clues than that and give me the right answer,

0:02:210:02:25

you get more points. Analysts, you won the toss, you are first.

0:02:250:02:29

So please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:02:290:02:32

-Lion, please.

-OK, the quiz starts here.

0:02:320:02:35

Good luck. Time starts now.

0:02:350:02:37

Ho. OK.

0:02:380:02:41

Erm...

0:02:410:02:43

It could be anything. Next, please.

0:02:430:02:46

-Beetlejuice.

-The Tim Burton film is spelt like that.

0:02:470:02:50

-Erm, yeah.

-I don't know what Ho is.

-OK.

0:02:500:02:55

Next, please.

0:02:550:02:57

Three times? Things said three times?

0:02:580:03:00

-Oh.

-I divorce you. Ho-ho-ho.

-Yes, things in threes.

0:03:000:03:03

BELL Things that are said three times.

0:03:030:03:06

That's exactly right! Well done! Three clues, you get two points.

0:03:060:03:10

-Can you tell me a bit more?

-Erm...

0:03:100:03:13

-Ho-ho-ho.

-Ho-ho-ho.

0:03:130:03:15

You summon Beetlejuice by saying his name three times

0:03:150:03:18

and you divorce people in Islam by saying "I divorce you" three times.

0:03:180:03:22

Ho-ho-ho, of course. Father Christmas. Beetlejuice.

0:03:220:03:24

I won't say it three times.

0:03:240:03:27

White rabbits is the last one you didn't need to see.

0:03:270:03:30

Said at the start of the month. And I divorce you.

0:03:300:03:32

In Malaysia, you can divorce someone by saying that three times.

0:03:320:03:36

These days, apparently, you can do it by text message, as well!

0:03:360:03:40

-Excellent.

-Imagine the confusion if one of the texts didn't arrive.

0:03:400:03:45

Three separate texts or three times in one text?

0:03:450:03:47

I believe three separate texts. I haven't tried it.

0:03:470:03:50

I wouldn't dare marry anyone, never mind divorce them by text.

0:03:500:03:54

You could play with their minds. You send two.

0:03:540:03:56

"Did the third one not get through?" See how they react.

0:03:560:04:00

Anyway, you've got the points. Well done.

0:04:000:04:02

-Over to you, Editors, to choose a question.

-Twisted flax, please.

0:04:020:04:05

That's going to be the music question.

0:04:050:04:07

You'll hear the clues. The first one's coming in now.

0:04:070:04:10

# Sweetheart, bitter heart, now I can't tell you apart

0:04:100:04:15

# Cosy and cold, put the horse before the cart

0:04:150:04:19

-Next.

-# How I love you

0:04:190:04:22

# How I love you

0:04:220:04:24

# Don't try to fight it cos it's easy

0:04:240:04:28

-# It's so easy

-Like taking candy from a baby? Next.

0:04:280:04:32

# My boot-scooting baby is driving me crazy

0:04:320:04:35

# My obsession from a western, my dance floor date

0:04:350:04:39

-# My rodeo Romeo...

-Ten seconds.

-Next.

0:04:390:04:42

# Always onward rode the 600, 5-4-3-2-1

0:04:430:04:47

-Three seconds.

-BELL

0:04:470:04:51

They're to do with numbers of some kind,

0:04:520:04:56

but...

0:04:560:04:58

Erm... What was that?

0:04:580:05:01

-Oh, it's 1, 2, 3.

-Try and be more specific.

0:05:010:05:03

-1, 2, 3.

-5-4-3-2-1.

-Yeah. Sequential numbers.

0:05:030:05:07

They are numbers consecutively, forwards or backwards.

0:05:070:05:10

You're absolutely right. We heard 1234 by Feist.

0:05:100:05:13

1-2-3 by Len Barry. 5, 6, 7, 8 from Steps.

0:05:130:05:17

And the last one, 5-4-3-2-1 by Manfred Mann. Consecutive numbers.

0:05:170:05:21

Well done. Back to you, Analysts.

0:05:210:05:24

-Two reeds, please.

-OK. Your first clue is coming up now.

0:05:240:05:29

-Sarah Good.

-Ebeneezer's mum?

0:05:300:05:32

THEY LAUGH Next, please.

0:05:320:05:35

-Oh, she was one of the...

-She was one of the spies.

0:05:370:05:39

-The Rosenbergs were spies.

-Don't know anything about Sarah Good.

0:05:390:05:44

Go on, then? Next.

0:05:450:05:47

-They were executed.

-Executed, yeah.

0:05:480:05:51

-For spying, or just executed?

-Erm...

0:05:510:05:55

I don't know. Just say executed.

0:05:560:05:58

-Ten seconds.

-BELL

0:05:580:06:00

Women who were executed for spying.

0:06:000:06:03

It's grizzly but it's right. Women who were executed.

0:06:030:06:06

You didn't need to see Catherine Howard, beheaded for treason.

0:06:060:06:10

-What about the others?

-Edith Cavell was a spy.

0:06:100:06:14

She was a British nurse in Brussels.

0:06:140:06:17

Yes. The Germans said she was a spy and executed her.

0:06:170:06:20

A British nurse, yes. Ethel Rosenberg?

0:06:200:06:22

-She was a spy in America with her husband.

-Julius.

0:06:220:06:26

In the McCarthy era.

0:06:260:06:28

She was executed in America for spying in 1953.

0:06:280:06:32

-And you don't know Sarah Good?

-No.

-Do you know Sarah Good, Editors?

0:06:320:06:36

-No, we don't.

-From the Salem Witch Trials.

-Oh, OK.

0:06:360:06:39

Executed for being a witch. Well, for people saying she was a witch.

0:06:390:06:44

Or was she a witch? No, she wasn't a witch.

0:06:440:06:47

Editors, your turn to choose a question.

0:06:470:06:50

-Horned viper, please.

-Horned viper.

0:06:500:06:52

These are picture clues. Here's the first one.

0:06:520:06:55

OK, poker. Blackjack.

0:06:560:07:00

Next.

0:07:010:07:03

-Pedal.

-Pedal.

0:07:040:07:06

It's soft. Soft. Soft pedal.

0:07:060:07:10

Erm, poker...

0:07:100:07:12

OK. Erm... Next.

0:07:140:07:16

Soft egg. Softness.

0:07:180:07:21

Soft-boiled egg. Soft.

0:07:210:07:24

BELL

0:07:240:07:26

-Soft.

-You should've gambled and come in after two clues.

0:07:270:07:31

The answer is soft. The first one is soft 17 in blackjack.

0:07:310:07:35

They say, "Always hit soft 17." They also say, "Never play blackjack."

0:07:350:07:39

Ace and a 6 is soft 17. Soft pedal on the piano. Soft-boiled egg.

0:07:390:07:43

We would've seen softball. Well done. Back to you, Analysts.

0:07:430:07:47

-Water, please.

-OK. Here's your first clue.

0:07:470:07:51

The shell game.

0:07:520:07:55

Hm. I don't know.

0:07:550:07:57

Next, please.

0:07:570:07:59

The Queen's Twelfth cake?

0:08:000:08:02

-What?

-Erm... Oh, this is a new one.

0:08:020:08:07

Next, please.

0:08:080:08:11

-Has it got a pea in?

-Yes, the shell game's got a pea.

0:08:110:08:14

-BELL

-Things that have a pea in.

0:08:140:08:17

Things that have a pea in them. The fourth clue would've been

0:08:170:08:21

the bed of the princess in the fairytale.

0:08:210:08:23

Shell game is walnut shells and one of them has a pea under it.

0:08:230:08:26

It's a con. The Queen's Twelfth cake. Do you know what that is?

0:08:260:08:30

-Couldn't tell you.

-Something with a pea in.

-Well, yes.

0:08:300:08:33

Cakes, I think, eaten on Twelfth Night.

0:08:330:08:35

If you have the one with a pea in it, you get a prize.

0:08:350:08:38

A referee's whistle does. You didn't need the last clue.

0:08:380:08:41

Peas was the answer. Two points to you. Back to the Editors.

0:08:410:08:44

-Eye of Horus, please.

-That is the final one.

0:08:440:08:48

First clue coming up now.

0:08:480:08:50

-Tiresias.

-He was a blind seer. He changed sex.

0:08:500:08:53

-OK.

-Next.

0:08:530:08:56

-Were they blind?

-They were witches, weren't they?

0:08:580:09:00

-Were they...

-Were they transgender, as well?

0:09:000:09:04

-We'll have to go for the third one.

-I think so. Next.

0:09:040:09:07

-Alice Cullen.

-She's in, erm, vampires. The moonlight things.

0:09:080:09:13

-The...

-Right. So are they witches of various kinds?

0:09:130:09:17

I think they must be.

0:09:170:09:19

-Ten seconds.

-We'll have to go for it.

-Last one.

0:09:190:09:22

-Fiver. The bunny. A rabbit.

-BELL

0:09:240:09:27

-They're all blind.

-I'm afraid that is not the answer.

0:09:270:09:31

Analysts for a possible bonus.

0:09:310:09:33

Erm, ability to see the future.

0:09:330:09:36

That's what it is. They're all prophets.

0:09:360:09:38

Tiresias the prophet is blind. The others, I don't think so.

0:09:380:09:41

The Weird Sisters, the witches from Macbeth. Alice Cullen from Twilight.

0:09:410:09:45

And Fiver is the seer rabbit from Watership Down.

0:09:450:09:48

So you get the bonus. Well done. At the end of Round One,

0:09:480:09:52

the Editors have three points but the Analysts are ahead with seven.

0:09:520:09:56

On to Round Two, the sequences round.

0:09:580:10:00

There are four clues but they come in a sequence. I want you to tell me what the fourth clue would be,

0:10:000:10:06

so you may only see up to three. Analysts, you're first.

0:10:060:10:10

-Water, please.

-OK, first in the sequence coming up.

0:10:100:10:14

These are picture clues. What would you see in the fourth picture?

0:10:140:10:17

First one coming up now.

0:10:170:10:19

-Blood.

-Blood pack.

-Plasma.

0:10:210:10:24

OK, next.

0:10:240:10:26

-What's he doing? Gardening?

-Sweating?

0:10:270:10:31

Blood, sweat, tears and toil.

0:10:310:10:33

-Toil and tears, is it?

-Is it toil and...?

0:10:330:10:36

-I think it's toil and tears, is it?

-OK.

0:10:360:10:38

-Do we want to go?

-I'll buzz in. BELL

0:10:380:10:41

Somebody crying, producing tears.

0:10:420:10:45

I'm afraid that's not the answer.

0:10:450:10:47

I'll show the third in the sequence to the Editors.

0:10:470:10:50

There's a possible bonus point to you if you tell me what's fourth.

0:10:500:10:53

-Toil.

-Toil. Go for toil.

0:10:530:10:55

-BELL

-Toil.

0:10:550:10:58

I'm afraid that's not it, either. Toil is the second picture.

0:10:580:11:02

You're all in the right area. Blood, toil, tears and sweat.

0:11:020:11:07

Winston Churchill, it was a speech that he made

0:11:070:11:10

on his first day as prime minister

0:11:100:11:13

and the outgoing prime minister, Neville Chamberlain,

0:11:130:11:16

got huge cheers, he was popular. A muted response for Churchill.

0:11:160:11:19

He said, "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat"

0:11:190:11:23

and it made him much more popular. The confusion is

0:11:230:11:26

it's often misquoted. Blood, sweat and tears has become the phrase.

0:11:260:11:30

-Yes.

-But the order is as appears in front of you. So no points there.

0:11:300:11:34

-Editors, you may choose your own question.

-Twisted flax, please.

0:11:340:11:38

OK. First in a sequence coming up now.

0:11:380:11:41

Denise.

0:11:430:11:45

Next.

0:11:450:11:46

-Theo.

-Are these people in, er, erm...

0:11:470:11:51

-..the Dragons' Den?

-Oh! No. No, I don't think.

-It's a sequence.

0:11:520:11:56

It's a sequence.

0:11:560:11:58

-Is there a new Dragon, then?

-I don't know.

0:11:580:12:01

It'll be... OK. Erm...

0:12:010:12:04

Next.

0:12:040:12:06

Vanessa.

0:12:060:12:08

Vanessa. I don't think... It's... I don't think...

0:12:100:12:14

-Five seconds.

-BELL

0:12:160:12:18

-Peter.

-Why?

0:12:200:12:23

We're going that they might be Dragons

0:12:230:12:25

but I can only recognise one of them, so...

0:12:250:12:28

So, as I think you suspect, Peter is not the answer.

0:12:280:12:31

Possible bonus to the Analysts.

0:12:310:12:33

-..and Theo was his brother.

-Vincent.

0:12:330:12:35

-Why Vincent?

-Erm...that's just a name we've alighted on

0:12:350:12:40

-and that's that.

-I'm a horrible person.

0:12:400:12:43

I make you explain the reasons for the wrong answers. No, it's Rudy.

0:12:430:12:46

They are the children from The Cosby Show.

0:12:460:12:49

Bit of an old one if you weren't a fan. The Huxtable children,

0:12:490:12:53

Bill Cosby's pretend children, going downwards. The youngest was Rudy.

0:12:530:12:57

I do like a wrong answer. I like hearing your working.

0:12:570:13:00

My favourite answers along the way so far,

0:13:000:13:03

"Are they all Dragons?" and "Do they all have Myxomatosis?"

0:13:030:13:06

I was really hoping you were going to go with that. But no.

0:13:060:13:09

So no points there. Not Cosby Show fans. Analysts, choose a question.

0:13:090:13:13

-Lion, please.

-OK.

0:13:130:13:15

First in a sequence coming up now.

0:13:150:13:18

-Category 4, professional.

-OK.

0:13:190:13:23

Er, next, please.

0:13:230:13:26

-It still could be anything.

-It could be. No idea.

-No.

0:13:330:13:36

Er, next.

0:13:360:13:38

Garden?

0:13:400:13:42

-Common?

-Erm...

0:13:440:13:47

-Ten seconds.

-Category 1, home?

0:13:470:13:50

-Types of flowers?

-Yes, that's...

0:13:500:13:52

BELL Category 1: Home.

0:13:520:13:55

That's not it, I'm afraid. Possible bonus to the Editors.

0:13:550:13:59

-Category 1: Ordinary?

-Category 1: Ordinary.

0:13:590:14:03

Ooh, why?

0:14:030:14:05

-No idea!

-Levels of competence or...

0:14:060:14:10

..degrees of complexity of software.

0:14:120:14:14

-Oh, I see.

-Common and garden...

-It's not right.

0:14:140:14:17

It's not right, no, but I can see your logic.

0:14:170:14:20

No. It's sort of home, but you're not getting it exactly right

0:14:200:14:23

cos you don't know the connection. They are grades of firework

0:14:230:14:27

and Category 1 is indoor.

0:14:270:14:29

Grades of firework getting decreasingly serious.

0:14:290:14:32

It's illegal for a non-qualified person

0:14:320:14:35

-even to own a Category 4 firework.

-Good.

0:14:350:14:38

Luckily they haven't raided my house yet. It is illegal.

0:14:380:14:42

-No points there, then. Editors, your turn.

-Eye of Horus, please.

0:14:420:14:45

OK. First in a sequence coming up now.

0:14:450:14:49

-There's a Donald Dewar.

-OK.

0:14:500:14:52

-Scottish parliament.

-He was the first minister.

-Next.

0:14:520:14:57

McLeish.

0:14:580:15:00

-Erm...

-Similar sort of...

0:15:010:15:04

Scotland seems to be the connection.

0:15:040:15:07

-Who's the current Scottish...

-Alex Salmond.

0:15:070:15:10

Next.

0:15:100:15:12

-McConnell.

-Is it...

-McConnell.

0:15:120:15:16

Is it Scottish Nationalists or Scottish parliament speakers?

0:15:170:15:21

-Five seconds.

-BELL

0:15:230:15:25

-Salmond.

-This time you should've come in after two clues.

0:15:250:15:29

It is Salmond. First Ministers of Scotland going forwards.

0:15:290:15:32

Donald Dewar, Henry McLeish, Jack McConnell and then Alex Salmond.

0:15:320:15:36

Well done for the points. Analysts.

0:15:360:15:38

-Two reeds, please.

-Two reeds.

0:15:380:15:41

First in the sequence coming up. What's fourth? Time starts now.

0:15:410:15:45

-Could be anything.

-Next, please.

0:15:460:15:49

Oh. Electro-magnetic.

0:15:500:15:54

Weak and gravity, but is there an order to them?

0:15:540:15:58

-Shall we get the next one so that...

-Yeah.

0:15:580:16:00

Next, please.

0:16:000:16:03

-I think gravity.

-OK.

0:16:030:16:05

BELL Gravity.

0:16:050:16:08

It is gravity or gravitational. Can you tell me why?

0:16:080:16:11

They're the four fundamental forces of physics...I think.

0:16:110:16:17

You think rightly. They are the four fundamental forces getting weaker,

0:16:170:16:21

as they're usually categorised in an encyclopaedia.

0:16:210:16:24

It could be affected by the distance between the objects, but broadly,

0:16:240:16:28

it would go like this, weaker than weak is gravitational. Well done.

0:16:280:16:32

Editors, back to you. There's only one left. It's the horned viper.

0:16:320:16:35

-We'll have the horned viper, then.

-I think you should. Here's the first.

0:16:350:16:40

-OK.

-Capital letters underlined.

0:16:400:16:43

OK. Next.

0:16:430:16:45

Why have they got the underline on them?

0:16:480:16:50

Seven. We've got four...

0:16:500:16:53

Next.

0:16:550:16:57

They're five-letter words.

0:16:570:17:00

-What?

-What other five-letter numbers are there?

0:17:000:17:03

What is the next five-letter number?

0:17:050:17:08

Forty, is it? Forty?

0:17:080:17:10

F-O-R-T-Y?

0:17:100:17:12

-Oh!

-Five seconds.

-BELL

0:17:130:17:16

F-O-R-T-Y.

0:17:160:17:18

Spelling forty, that's absolutely right.

0:17:180:17:20

Well done, Wendy. I could sense you doing the work there.

0:17:200:17:24

Five-letter numbers going forwards. The next one after eight is forty.

0:17:240:17:28

Well done. So at the end of Round Two,

0:17:280:17:32

the Editors are up to seven, but the Analysts are ahead with nine.

0:17:320:17:35

Time for the Connecting Wall. Four connected groups of four

0:17:370:17:41

but all jumbled up this time. 16 clues in a blaze

0:17:410:17:44

and the teams have to sort it back into those connected groups.

0:17:440:17:48

OK, Editors, you'll be going first this time.

0:17:480:17:51

I'm going to give you the choice of lion or water.

0:17:510:17:53

-Lion, please.

-OK.

0:17:530:17:55

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

0:17:550:18:00

Hijack, Lumos, Alamo, erm...

0:18:010:18:03

The Wilderness. Are these films?

0:18:050:18:08

-The Wilderness, Alamo?

-Yes, I think they are.

0:18:080:18:10

-Budget.

-Tuvalu is the name of an island.

0:18:100:18:14

-Helena? St Helena?

-Battle?

0:18:140:18:17

-Battle. Gettysburg, Alamo, Shiloh.

-Try...

0:18:170:18:21

Gettysburg, Alamo, Shiloh.

0:18:210:18:25

The Wilderness, was that a battle?

0:18:250:18:28

No.

0:18:280:18:30

Alamo, Shiloh, er...

0:18:300:18:33

-Helena? Battle of Helena, anyone heard of that?

-I don't know.

-Nope.

0:18:330:18:38

Oh, there are car firms here. There's Hertz, Avis...

0:18:380:18:42

-But you carry on with that.

-No, let's do this. Hertz.

0:18:420:18:44

-Alamo is a rental firm, as well.

-Avis, Budget.

0:18:440:18:48

-No.

-Oh, gosh.

-OK.

-Hertz, Avis, Budget, erm...

0:18:480:18:53

-Enterprise?

-Yes.

-No.

0:18:540:18:57

-OK, what have we got here?

-Keep going with your battles.

0:18:570:19:01

-OK. Battles.

-You've used one minute.

-Alamo, Gettysburg.

0:19:010:19:05

Erm...

0:19:060:19:09

I don't know. What else haven't we tried?

0:19:140:19:18

-I can't think of anything else that works.

-Nox?

0:19:180:19:21

Battle of Nox? Battle of Shiloh? No.

0:19:210:19:26

Budget. Deface. What about that? Is there anything to do with words here?

0:19:280:19:32

-You've got a minute left.

-Latin? No.

-Reducto, Nox.

0:19:320:19:37

Lumos is actually Greek, but maybe that works.

0:19:370:19:41

-Erm...

-Avis...

0:19:410:19:44

Yep. Good. Well done.

0:19:440:19:47

-Er...

-So not...

0:19:470:19:49

Hijack. I wonder if it would be hijack...

0:19:490:19:52

-Things that stupefy, things that deface.

-That's a Neil Diamond song.

0:19:520:19:56

-Is it? OK.

-But I don't think anything else is.

0:19:560:19:59

-The Wilderness, what on earth could that be?

-You've got 30 seconds now.

0:19:590:20:03

40 days. 40. Something to do with 40?

0:20:030:20:06

-Enterprise.

-Enterprise.

0:20:060:20:09

Try Hijack.

0:20:100:20:13

-Hijack? Why Hijack?

-I don't know.

-OK.

0:20:130:20:17

-Did we not have all those before?

-Oh, wow, well done!

0:20:170:20:20

-Ten seconds now.

-Think about your battles.

0:20:200:20:24

-Shiloh, Gettysburg...

-Three seconds.

-The Wilderness and Tuvalu. No.

0:20:240:20:29

No, that's it, I'm afraid. The grid has frozen.

0:20:290:20:32

But you found two groups and you get points for the connections.

0:20:320:20:36

Nox, Lumos, Avis, Reducto.

0:20:360:20:38

They're all, erm, Latin, Greek terms. Latin terms, words.

0:20:380:20:45

You see, they're not, although they are based on a version of them.

0:20:450:20:49

People at home will be shouting at the screen. Oh, yes.

0:20:490:20:52

-These are spells in Harry Potter.

-Oh!

0:20:520:20:56

-Oh, Reducto!

-JK Rowling did borrow from Latin and Greek

0:20:560:20:59

to make the names of the spells. Harry Potter there.

0:20:590:21:02

Alamo, Enterprise, Hertz, Budget.

0:21:020:21:05

-Car and van rental firms.

-Car rental firms.

0:21:050:21:08

And I think nobody would have a car rental firm called Hijack.

0:21:080:21:11

-That doesn't sound good at all.

-I did wonder.

0:21:110:21:14

You can still get points for the connections of the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.

0:21:140:21:19

Hijack, Stupefy, Deface, Tuvalu.

0:21:190:21:23

SHE WHISPERS Erm...

0:21:230:21:26

-I can't give you too long.

-I have no idea.

0:21:280:21:30

They all begin with three consecutive letters.

0:21:300:21:33

-So they do!

-H-I-J, S-T-U, D-E-F, T-U-V. Consecutive letters.

0:21:330:21:39

Shiloh, The Wilderness, Helena, Gettysburg.

0:21:390:21:42

-They are battles.

-They are battles in the American Civil War.

0:21:420:21:45

So, you found two groups and you got two connections.

0:21:450:21:50

That is a total of four. It's time to bring back their opponents

0:21:500:21:53

to see what they can do with the connecting wall. 16 fresh clues

0:21:530:21:56

still need sorting into four connected groups of four. Analysts, you have the water wall.

0:21:560:22:01

You've got two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.

0:22:010:22:06

OK.

0:22:070:22:09

-Right.

-They're operas.

0:22:090:22:12

Othello.

0:22:120:22:14

Cinderella is.

0:22:140:22:16

There we are. Erm...

0:22:170:22:20

Spyri. Are they Swiss?

0:22:210:22:24

-Spyri's Swiss.

-Spyri's Swiss, Euler's Swiss, Jung's Swiss.

0:22:240:22:28

-And Chevrolet, maybe?

-Do you want to try it?

0:22:280:22:31

OK, erm...

0:22:340:22:36

Third Man, Omega Man, Running Man, Invisible Man, the Elephant Man.

0:22:380:22:42

-Oh.

-Right, OK. We'll leave the first one out for the time being.

0:22:420:22:47

You solved the wall in remarkably quick time! Well done!

0:22:490:22:53

That is four points immediately for the groups you found.

0:22:530:22:57

Let's look for some connections. The Barber of Seville,

0:22:570:23:00

Cinderella, William Tell, Othello.

0:23:000:23:03

-Paul, this is your territory.

-They're operas, Italian operas

0:23:030:23:07

-of the 19th century. They're not by...

-I want more specifics.

0:23:070:23:11

-By Rossini.

-All operas by Rossini, that's what I was looking for.

0:23:110:23:14

I might have taken "operas". I'm not in a bad mood.

0:23:140:23:17

But Rossini is what I wanted to hear. I've been to one opera.

0:23:170:23:21

Somebody who thought I should've seen some opera said, "I'm going to make you fall in love with it"

0:23:210:23:26

and took me to a four-hour production of Khovanshchina.

0:23:260:23:29

-Ah, yes. It wouldn't be entry level, I don't think.

-No.

0:23:290:23:32

I think he was imagining something like the scene in Pretty Woman

0:23:320:23:36

where Julia Roberts is moved to tears

0:23:360:23:38

and you realise this low-brow girl from the gutter

0:23:380:23:41

can appreciate finer things. I ran screaming for ice cream.

0:23:410:23:44

But, yes, you get the point, operas by Rossini.

0:23:440:23:47

What about the green group?

0:23:470:23:49

-They're famous Swiss.

-They are all Swiss.

0:23:490:23:52

-What can you tell me about the names?

-Euler's a mathematician.

0:23:520:23:55

Jung's a psychoanalyst.

0:23:550:23:58

-Spyri wrote, was it Heidi?

-Heidi, yes.

0:23:580:24:00

Johanna Spyri wrote Heidi.

0:24:000:24:02

-Chevrolet, no idea.

-Car manufacturer.

0:24:020:24:05

Presumably it's Mr Chevrolet, who ended up being Mr Car.

0:24:050:24:09

-Louis Chevrolet, his name was. He was a Swiss racing driver.

-Oh.

0:24:090:24:13

Founded the car firm. Running, Omega, Invisible, Third.

0:24:130:24:16

All followed by "man" to make names of films.

0:24:160:24:19

The something Man. Film titles. The Running Man,

0:24:190:24:22

The Omega Man, The Invisible Man, The Third Man.

0:24:220:24:25

Cow, Glacier, Elephant, Leg.

0:24:250:24:28

-Calves. They all have calves.

-They all have calves!

0:24:280:24:31

A glacier makes calves when bits slice off.

0:24:310:24:34

Leg, obvious. And cows and elephants, their babies are calves.

0:24:340:24:38

Very well done. That is four points for the groups you found,

0:24:380:24:41

four more points for the connections, that's eight points,

0:24:410:24:44

plus a bonus of two for getting it all right. A maximum of ten points.

0:24:440:24:48

Let's see what that does to the scores going into round four.

0:24:480:24:52

The Editors have got 11 points

0:24:520:24:54

but the Analysts are ahead on 19.

0:24:540:24:57

And if you'd like to play a connecting wall, go to the website:

0:24:580:25:03

You can play them against the clock and even create your own.

0:25:030:25:07

If you want to try putting 97 car firms into a grid,

0:25:070:25:10

this is your chance!

0:25:100:25:12

Analysts, you solved that wall in super-quick time.

0:25:120:25:15

-Have you been playing on the website?

-We've done one or two.

0:25:150:25:18

-What about you, Editors? Do you play online?

-We've practised online

0:25:180:25:21

because we're from different places. We've been on a Skype call

0:25:210:25:25

with the wall in front of us.

0:25:250:25:28

Unfortunately, because my broadband is so slow,

0:25:280:25:31

I'm about half a minute behind everybody else, so I get longer.

0:25:310:25:34

What I think we need is a better quality of rural broadband.

0:25:340:25:37

-Absolutely.

-Funny you should mention that.

0:25:370:25:40

Specifically so that people in any area can play the connecting wall.

0:25:400:25:45

-Absolutely.

-It's a basic human right.

-It is.

0:25:450:25:48

But now we're going to play Round Four, the missing vowels round.

0:25:480:25:52

Teams, we have taken well-known names, phrases or sayings,

0:25:520:25:55

removed the vowels and squidged up the consonants.

0:25:550:25:59

I want to know what those disguised clues are. You will lose points

0:25:590:26:02

if you get this wrong, so be careful.

0:26:020:26:05

Fingers on buzzers, then. The first group are all routine medical tests.

0:26:050:26:11

-Chest X-ray.

-Correct.

0:26:140:26:16

-Electrocardiogram.

-Correct.

0:26:190:26:22

-Ultrasound scan.

-Correct.

0:26:260:26:28

-Fasting blood glucose.

-That's right.

0:26:330:26:35

Next category:

0:26:350:26:38

-Papier mache.

-Correct.

0:26:410:26:43

-Oil colours.

-That's right.

0:26:470:26:49

-Alabaster.

-Yes.

0:26:520:26:54

-Camel hair brush.

-Yes, it is.

0:26:570:26:59

Next category:

0:26:590:27:02

-Bodyline tour.

-Yep.

0:27:040:27:06

-Bloodgate.

-In rugby, that's right.

0:27:090:27:11

-Basil D'Oliveira affair.

-Another cricketing controversy.

0:27:180:27:22

Next clue.

0:27:220:27:24

-Hand of God.

-That's right, Maradona, of course, in the football.

0:27:240:27:28

Next category:

0:27:280:27:32

-Spock and Vulcan.

-Correct.

0:27:340:27:37

-Mork and Ork.

-Yes, it is.

0:27:400:27:42

Don't know this one? It's:

0:27:480:27:54

Next clue.

0:27:540:27:56

-Luke Skywalker and...

-I'm afraid not.

0:28:020:28:05

I'm afraid you lose a point.

0:28:050:28:08

And there's no chance of a bonus for you, Editors,

0:28:080:28:11

because that is the end of the quiz. It's:

0:28:110:28:14

You need an L, not an N. Anakin Skywalker.

0:28:140:28:18

So, the end of the quiz, and looking at the final scores,

0:28:180:28:22

the Editors have got a creditable 17 points

0:28:220:28:25

but the winners with 26 points are the Analysts.

0:28:250:28:28

Very well done, Analysts, you're through to the quarterfinals.

0:28:280:28:31

And well done to you, too, Editors. Unlucky not to go further.

0:28:310:28:35

Thank you for watching. Please join us next time

0:28:350:28:38

for another episode of the quiz that's more confusing

0:28:380:28:41

than the British Colour-blind Association's annual snooker tournament. Goodbye.
