Hello, and welcome to Only Connect, the quarterfinals.

0:00:210:00:24

Both teams here won their original heats,

0:00:240:00:27

so for them it's a sort of returning home,

0:00:270:00:29

like to your parents' after your first school disco,

0:00:290:00:32

a warm welcome followed by some awkward questions.

0:00:320:00:35

Joining me on my right

0:00:350:00:37

Roger Pratley, a folk-music aficionado with a passion for Indian cuisine,

0:00:370:00:41

Sean Carey, a former bingo-club manager

0:00:410:00:43

who enjoys athletics and 1970s music,

0:00:430:00:46

and their captain, Beth Webster,

0:00:460:00:49

a trombone player with a Masters from Birkbeck College

0:00:490:00:52

who enjoys Formula 1 racing.

0:00:520:00:55

They're all committed fans of social media.

0:00:550:00:57

They are the Social Networkers.

0:00:570:01:00

Beth, you beat the Vegetarians in your heat.

0:01:000:01:02

How have you preparing for the quarterfinal?

0:01:020:01:05

We've been having a few revision sessions,

0:01:050:01:09

completing all the walls online, all bolstered by a teacake.

0:01:090:01:13

NOTHING boosts brain power like a teacake.

0:01:130:01:16

They say eating a lot of fish is the key.

0:01:160:01:18

Perhaps that was a problem for the Vegetarians.

0:01:180:01:20

Lentils just won't cut it!

0:01:200:01:23

Your opponents this time are the Antiquarians.

0:01:230:01:26

On my left, it's Simon Belcher,

0:01:260:01:28

a science communications graduate studying astronomy,

0:01:280:01:31

Debbie Challis, a Pilates enthusiast

0:01:310:01:33

with a doctorate in art history,

0:01:330:01:36

and their captain, Will Howells,

0:01:360:01:38

a stand-up comedian with a Masters degree in physics and astrophysics.

0:01:380:01:42

They share a keen interest in history. They are the Antiquarians.

0:01:420:01:47

Will, you beat the Fantasy Footballers.

0:01:470:01:49

What was the secret of success?

0:01:490:01:51

I think partly it was a profound knowledge

0:01:510:01:54

of all of human civilisation and history,

0:01:540:01:56

but mostly lucky guessing.

0:01:560:01:58

Well, I hope you know all the answers tonight,

0:01:580:02:00

but guessing could take you a long way.

0:02:000:02:02

Later on during the show,

0:02:020:02:04

you'll be able to play along with the Connecting Wall

0:02:040:02:07

if you've got a computer with you.

0:02:070:02:09

But that's all for later.

0:02:090:02:10

And if TV on its own is excitement enough,

0:02:100:02:12

all you need is a nice, big teapot

0:02:120:02:14

full of brandy, and we're going to play round one.

0:02:140:02:17

I just want to know what's the connection between

0:02:170:02:20

four apparently random clues.

0:02:200:02:22

Networkers, you won the toss,

0:02:220:02:25

but you're making the Antiquarians go first.

0:02:250:02:28

So, Antiquarians, please pick a question.

0:02:280:02:30

Eye of Horus, please.

0:02:300:02:32

First one will be the Eye of Horus,

0:02:320:02:34

and your first clue is coming up now.

0:02:340:02:37

-Aneres? Is that a star?

-I don't think so.

0:02:370:02:41

Shall we take the next one? Next.

0:02:410:02:45

Seltaeb? "Beatles" backwards. "Serena" backwards, though?

0:02:450:02:50

"Beatles" backwards, the band.

0:02:500:02:52

-What's Serena? Serena's a person. Shall we take the next one?

-Yeah.

0:02:520:02:55

Next.

0:02:550:02:57

-Robert. They're all just names backwards.

-Yeah.

0:02:570:03:00

Beatles isn't a first name. Er, Beatles, Robert, Serena.

0:03:000:03:04

Shall we take the fourth one? Next.

0:03:040:03:07

Oprah.

0:03:080:03:10

Oprah, Robert, Beatles, Serena.

0:03:100:03:13

-BELL

-Yes?

-They're names backwards.

0:03:140:03:18

In the quarterfinal,

0:03:180:03:19

that is not an answer I can accept.

0:03:190:03:23

There is a possible bonus

0:03:230:03:24

for the Social Networkers.

0:03:240:03:26

I'll let Sean answer.

0:03:260:03:28

They're companies that have been created by the person in question,

0:03:280:03:32

but they have reversed their name.

0:03:320:03:34

That's it. They are trading names or brand names made up from one

0:03:340:03:38

of the founders' names backwards.

0:03:380:03:41

Aneres, that's Serena Williams'

0:03:410:03:43

clothing line. The Beatles had a company, Seltaeb.

0:03:430:03:47

Trebor, the sweets company, was founded by Robert Robertson.

0:03:470:03:50

And Harpo Productions, Oprah Winfrey's production company.

0:03:500:03:54

A bonus point for you, Networkers. Please pick your own question.

0:03:540:03:58

We'll have Twisted Flax, please.

0:03:580:04:00

OK. Ah!

0:04:000:04:02

It's the music or sound question.

0:04:020:04:04

You'll hear the clues. Here comes the first one now.

0:04:040:04:07

OPERATIC ARIA - MALE AND FEMALE VOICES SINGING

0:04:070:04:11

Next, please.

0:04:160:04:18

PIANO AND CELLO

0:04:180:04:22

Is that about a swan?

0:04:220:04:24

Something to do with a swan. Next, please.

0:04:240:04:27

# Ride it on out like a bird in the sky

0:04:270:04:30

# Ride it on out like... #

0:04:300:04:32

BELL

0:04:320:04:34

Songs with swans or music with swans, to do with swans.

0:04:340:04:37

You're quite right.

0:04:370:04:38

What do you think you heard?

0:04:380:04:39

Swan Lake.

0:04:390:04:42

Swan Lake you didn't hear!

0:04:420:04:44

That would have been the fourth.

0:04:440:04:46

-It was Saint-Saens.

-Carnival of the Animals.

0:04:460:04:48

-That was the second one.

-And T-Rex, Ride A White Swan.

-The first

0:04:480:04:52

was the madrigal The Silver Swan.

0:04:520:04:54

We had yet to hear Swan Lake,

0:04:540:04:55

although a good guess for what would be next. Well done.

0:04:550:04:58

Back to you, Antiquarians, to pick a question.

0:04:580:05:01

-Two Reeds.

-Two Reeds.

0:05:010:05:02

You're going to be getting some picture clues.

0:05:020:05:06

The first one is coming up now.

0:05:060:05:08

Any names?

0:05:090:05:11

-No idea.

-Next.

0:05:110:05:13

-Dancing of the Skeletons?

-It's not Daughter Death, is it?

0:05:140:05:18

By the Auschwitz guy? We'd have that question on here, surely.

0:05:180:05:22

Shall we go through to the next one?

0:05:220:05:23

-Yeah.

-Next.

0:05:230:05:25

-Oh, Blue Screen of Death.

-BELL

0:05:250:05:28

Death.

0:05:280:05:29

That is the correct answer.

0:05:290:05:32

Yes, we WOULD have that question!

0:05:320:05:34

Josef Mengele's a favourite.

0:05:340:05:36

He's like Father Christmas to us!

0:05:360:05:38

Known as the Angel of Death.

0:05:380:05:40

That second picture looks like a supermodels' party but is in fact...

0:05:400:05:43

-Do you know?

-Is it the Danse Macabre?

0:05:430:05:46

It's Holbein's Dance of Death

0:05:460:05:48

to fit in with this clue. The Blue Screen of Death was that third one.

0:05:480:05:52

That's an error screen on a PC.

0:05:520:05:53

And the fourth picture, the Wall of Death on a fairground ride.

0:05:530:05:57

A nice, chirpy question, wasn't it?

0:05:570:05:59

Well done. You get the points for that.

0:05:590:06:01

-Over to the Networkers for a question.

-Horned Viper.

0:06:010:06:04

Horned Viper. First clue coming up now.

0:06:040:06:07

Colours. Colours made by chemicals?

0:06:080:06:11

Next, please.

0:06:130:06:15

-Atropine.

-Atropine is...

0:06:150:06:17

Derived from...

0:06:170:06:18

Is atropine a hormone?

0:06:220:06:24

-No.

-Oh, OK.

-Next, please.

0:06:260:06:28

Amyl nitrate.

0:06:290:06:31

-Could they all be used as drugs?

-I don't know.

-Amyl nitrate's popper.

0:06:320:06:36

-Amyl nitrate...

-Next.

0:06:360:06:38

You've got five seconds.

0:06:410:06:42

Nope? OK, there's a possible bonus

0:06:460:06:48

available for the Antiquarians.

0:06:480:06:51

I... Cell?

0:06:510:06:53

Why would it be cell?

0:06:530:06:55

Because maybe Colin Sell from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue

0:06:550:06:59

and maybe atropine is in a cell.

0:06:590:07:01

And the other two?

0:07:010:07:02

Er, you might end up in a cell if you illegally sold amyl nitrate,

0:07:020:07:07

and you might paint it with Prussian blue!

0:07:070:07:10

Good attempt, but no! Should have

0:07:100:07:12

been a giveaway in that fourth one.

0:07:120:07:14

-These are all antidotes.

-Oh!

0:07:140:07:17

Prussian blue is an antidote to thalium poisoning,

0:07:170:07:20

atropine an antidote to sarin, amyl nitrate

0:07:200:07:23

an antidote to cyanide poisoning -

0:07:230:07:26

not how I use it -

0:07:260:07:27

and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, of course, the antidote to panel games.

0:07:270:07:31

They're all antidotes. No points there.

0:07:310:07:33

-Antiquarians, please pick your own hieroglyph.

-Water.

0:07:330:07:37

Water. Your first clue is coming up now.

0:07:370:07:40

-Could be anything.

-Yeah, animals? Next.

0:07:420:07:45

A song? The biggest animals?

0:07:450:07:48

African elephant.

0:07:480:07:53

Shall we take the next one? Next.

0:07:530:07:55

It's a river. Mud? Mississippi mud cake. Mud?

0:07:550:08:02

-But hippo has river in the name, as well. It's Greek "potamos".

-Next.

0:08:020:08:07

-One thousand is M.

-Ten seconds.

0:08:090:08:11

Mud?

0:08:110:08:12

-Roman M. Anything?

-Three seconds.

-BELL

0:08:150:08:18

Mud.

0:08:180:08:21

What's that fourth clue about?

0:08:210:08:24

Didn't really know.

0:08:240:08:25

-Oh, you normally do better than that!

-It's the M in "mud"

0:08:250:08:28

-is a thousand in Roman numerals.

-That's a pretty good attempt.

0:08:280:08:31

Of course, it's completely wrong.

0:08:310:08:34

Thank you for trying. Networkers, what do you think?

0:08:340:08:38

The letter M?

0:08:380:08:40

So...when their guess was mud,

0:08:400:08:43

because the letter M in "mud" is a thousand,

0:08:430:08:46

I would have thrown it over for the bonus to you and it was M?

0:08:460:08:50

No, no, no, no!

0:08:500:08:52

This could be one of those occasions

0:08:520:08:54

when you're too sophisticated.

0:08:540:08:56

Pare it back, think simply.

0:08:560:08:57

These are -

0:08:570:08:58

I think you'll to kick yourselves -

0:08:580:09:00

placeholder words

0:09:000:09:02

when counting seconds.

0:09:020:09:04

-One thousand...

-One elephant, two elephant, three Mississippi,

0:09:040:09:08

four Mississippi, five one thousand.

0:09:080:09:11

Placeholder words for counting seconds, that was.

0:09:110:09:14

Networkers, there is one question remaining in round one. It's Lion.

0:09:140:09:18

We'll have that, then!

0:09:180:09:19

I think you should. The first clue is coming up now.

0:09:190:09:23

Anybody know? Don't know? Nobody know?

0:09:250:09:27

Right. Next.

0:09:270:09:29

-Is that "Gotcha!"?

-Is that "Gotcha!"?

0:09:300:09:32

-Are you sure?

-Isn't that the Belgrano?

-That's '92?!

0:09:320:09:36

-"Up yours, Delors"?

-Next.

0:09:360:09:39

I really haven't a Scooby on that one. >

0:09:430:09:45

-Shall we keep going?

-Next.

0:09:450:09:48

-Ten seconds.

-What might The Sun headline be?

0:09:520:09:57

-I can only think of whatsit.

-Three seconds.

0:09:570:10:01

No, I don't know.

0:10:010:10:03

OK, bonus points available again

0:10:030:10:05

for the Antiquarians.

0:10:050:10:06

We think it's the lights going out.

0:10:060:10:09

We don't know the first, but we think The Sun says,

0:10:090:10:11

"Will the last person to leave Britain turn out the lights?"

0:10:110:10:14

If Kinnock won the election.

0:10:140:10:15

The third one is the lights going out all across Europe,

0:10:150:10:18

and in Earth Hour, people are supposed to turn off their lights.

0:10:180:10:21

Right. They say that Roosevelt's last words were,

0:10:210:10:24

"James, will you please

0:10:240:10:26

"turn out the light?"

0:10:260:10:29

Turning out lights. You get the bonus point this time. Well done.

0:10:290:10:32

That means the scores at the end of Round One see

0:10:320:10:37

the Social Networkers with three points,

0:10:370:10:39

the Antiquarians also with three points.

0:10:390:10:41

Round Two, you'll remember, is about sequences.

0:10:440:10:46

There are still four clues, but you may not see the fourth one.

0:10:460:10:50

I want to know what it is.

0:10:500:10:51

Antiquarians, you're first.

0:10:510:10:53

Please select a hieroglyph.

0:10:530:10:55

Eye of Horus, please.

0:10:550:10:57

Starting with the Eye of Horus.

0:10:570:10:58

The first in the sequence will be shown. What is fourth?

0:10:580:11:01

Time starts now.

0:11:010:11:04

There was a crack in the floor, which was an artwork in Tate Modern.

0:11:040:11:08

-You've got the sesame seeds and...

-That's right.

0:11:080:11:11

-We need to get the next one.

-Next.

0:11:110:11:14

That was there. They had, like, bunks and stuff.

0:11:160:11:19

Was that because of an environmental disaster set in the future?

0:11:190:11:23

Next.

0:11:230:11:25

-Sesame seeds.

-Sesame seeds. I think you're right.

0:11:250:11:28

-BELL

-Ceramic sesame seeds.

0:11:280:11:31

I'll take it. Sunflower seeds.

0:11:310:11:33

But I think you know what the answer is. What's the sequence?

0:11:330:11:38

They're the exhibits in the main Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern.

0:11:380:11:41

That's what they are.

0:11:410:11:43

They're descriptions of them.

0:11:430:11:44

The names - Shibboleth is the crack in the floor,

0:11:440:11:47

Disaster depicts an environmental disaster,

0:11:470:11:50

steel structure is Darkroom and Seeds came next,

0:11:500:11:54

porcelain seeds on the floor.

0:11:540:11:56

People were supposed to be able to

0:11:560:11:57

walk on them.

0:11:570:11:58

They roped them off because people walking on them caused dust,

0:11:580:12:02

then they found out that

0:12:020:12:03

they'd been painted with lead.

0:12:030:12:05

They might have poisoned everybody!

0:12:050:12:07

Networkers, please pick a question.

0:12:070:12:09

-Horned viper, please.

-First in a sequence coming up. What's fourth?

0:12:090:12:13

-Time starts now.

-This is popes.

0:12:130:12:17

-Popes.

-Popes?

-Is it popes?

0:12:170:12:20

Next, please.

0:12:220:12:24

-No, it's not.

-It's something to do with popes though.

0:12:260:12:29

It's definitely to do with popes, but I don't think Pope Benedict.

0:12:290:12:34

-It could be Peter, but shall we wait and see?

-Next.

0:12:340:12:37

-Peter?

-Peter?

-Yeah. BELL

0:12:410:12:44

-First, Peter.

-I'm afraid that is not the correct answer.

0:12:440:12:47

A possible bonus for Antiquarians.

0:12:470:12:50

-First, Julius.

-That's not right either.

0:12:500:12:53

I think you both know that

0:12:530:12:55

popes is the connection.

0:12:550:12:57

What it is

0:12:570:12:59

is the most popular papal names.

0:12:590:13:01

There have been 14 popes called Clement, 15 Benedicts, 16 Gregorys.

0:13:010:13:04

The most popular papal name is John.

0:13:040:13:07

21 Johns.

0:13:070:13:09

Antiquarians, it's your turn to pick a question.

0:13:090:13:12

-Twisted flax, please.

-OK, first in a sequence coming up.

0:13:120:13:14

What is fourth? Your time starts now.

0:13:140:13:17

INDISTINCT MUTTERING

0:13:190:13:21

But isn't it a comic? A cartoon?

0:13:210:13:25

-Next.

-This is bridges over the...?

-Bridges over the...

0:13:250:13:30

-What other ones would there be?

-Brooklyn?

-Shall we see the next one?

0:13:300:13:34

Next.

0:13:340:13:36

-Manhattan Island? Is that a bridge as well?

-I don't know.

0:13:360:13:39

-I haven't got a clue anyway.

-Yeah, Brooklyn.

0:13:390:13:44

BELL Brooklyn.

0:13:440:13:45

-You're right. Do you know why?

-We think they might be bridges

0:13:450:13:48

moving along the Hudson.

0:13:480:13:51

They're bridges over New York's

0:13:510:13:53

East River going north to south.

0:13:530:13:55

Next along would be Brooklyn. You get the points.

0:13:550:13:58

-Social Networkers, please choose.

-Two reeds, please.

0:13:580:14:01

These are picture clues. What would you expect

0:14:010:14:04

to see in the fourth picture? The first one coming up now.

0:14:040:14:07

Arabesque.

0:14:100:14:12

Next.

0:14:120:14:13

-Milking...

-Nine ladies dancing, eight maids a-milking,

0:14:150:14:18

seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying.

0:14:180:14:22

BELL Six geese a-laying.

0:14:220:14:24

Do you want to have another go?

0:14:240:14:26

You've got dancing, milking.

0:14:260:14:28

-What's your answer?

-Laying. Just laying.

-Just laying.

0:14:280:14:31

These are, as I think you know, from the 12 days of Christmas,

0:14:310:14:34

but you're not seeing

0:14:340:14:36

nine ladies dancing

0:14:360:14:37

or eight maids a-milking, just the acts.

0:14:370:14:40

Dancing, milking. Swimming would be next, and laying.

0:14:400:14:44

Coming in after two clues, you get three points. Excellent.

0:14:440:14:47

-Back to the Antiquarians to choose.

-Lion.

-Lion.

0:14:470:14:50

First in a sequence coming up now.

0:14:500:14:53

INDISTINCT MUTTERING

0:14:550:14:58

-Take another one.

-Next.

-One and three.

-Is this a sequence?

0:15:000:15:05

Yellow, green, yellow and red. Is it traffic lights?

0:15:050:15:10

No, that's red and... Next.

0:15:100:15:14

That's yellow as well. If you add one and three, you get yellow?

0:15:160:15:19

Is it traffic lights?

0:15:190:15:22

So, green, you'd have red and yellow. Or is it something else entirely?

0:15:220:15:27

Five seconds.

0:15:270:15:29

BELL

0:15:310:15:33

Two and three equals red.

0:15:330:15:36

That's so random.

0:15:360:15:37

And, unfortunately, not correct,

0:15:370:15:40

Possible bonus

0:15:400:15:41

-to the Social Networkers.

-Two equals green.

0:15:410:15:43

No, you're wrong as well. You were guessing numbers.

0:15:430:15:46

The colour is red,

0:15:460:15:47

but you want the number four. It's not traffic lights,

0:15:470:15:51

these are train signals,

0:15:510:15:53

stages in a railway signal. So the second light goes green,

0:15:530:15:56

one and three, yellow,

0:15:560:15:58

this is going backwards.

0:15:580:15:59

The third light is yellow and four equals red, meaning stop.

0:15:590:16:05

Social Networkers, again, there is only one question remaining, water.

0:16:050:16:08

-We'll have that then, please.

-And the first clue is coming up now.

0:16:080:16:12

Anything? Next.

0:16:140:16:17

Is this hardness? The scale of hardness?

0:16:200:16:25

I can't hear you.

0:16:250:16:27

It could go up to diamond. Next.

0:16:270:16:29

Oh, no, it's things in the Earth. It's going down. What's the core?

0:16:310:16:35

-What's the core?

-What's the core of the Earth made of?

0:16:350:16:39

-Is it just a complete iron core?

-Ten seconds.

-Molten magma?

0:16:390:16:43

Yeah, but that's made of something.

0:16:430:16:46

-Shall we just go with iron?

-Five seconds.

0:16:460:16:49

-BELL Iron.

-What sort of iron?

-Molten iron.

0:16:490:16:53

Not the answer I'm looking for.

0:16:530:16:55

I'm going to go over to the Antiquarians for a possible bonus.

0:16:550:16:58

And I don't want to hear chat, I want a very specific answer.

0:16:580:17:01

Em, gaseous... I... Oh... The...

0:17:010:17:04

-Iron core?

-Iron core.

0:17:040:17:07

I'm not going to take it.

0:17:070:17:09

I was tough on you there. As you suspect,

0:17:090:17:11

it's constituent parts

0:17:110:17:13

of the Earth going inwards.

0:17:130:17:14

The problem is you said molten iron.

0:17:140:17:16

Molten iron is the third.

0:17:160:17:18

Deep in at the core, solid iron and nickel.

0:17:180:17:22

I would have taken solid iron from you but not molten,

0:17:220:17:26

because that wouldn't be the next stage.

0:17:260:17:28

So I'm being tough and in this quarterfinal heat at the end

0:17:280:17:32

of the second round, the Social Networkers have got six points

0:17:320:17:36

but the Antiquarians are ahead with seven.

0:17:360:17:39

Round three is the Connecting Wall

0:17:410:17:44

and these connecting walls will be going live online

0:17:440:17:46

if you feel like depressing yourself right along with the teams.

0:17:460:17:50

Go to your computer and you'll find them there.

0:17:500:17:52

Social Networkers, you'll be the ones playing it on TV, though,

0:17:520:17:55

and you've got the choice - lion or water?

0:17:550:17:58

-Lion, please.

-OK.

0:17:580:18:01

Sort these 16 clues into four groups of four if you can. Time starts now.

0:18:010:18:07

-Weather. Forecast, Vane, Report.

-Station.

-Balloon.

0:18:100:18:15

Try those first.

0:18:150:18:19

BUZZ

0:18:190:18:20

No. OK, so weather station, weather report, weather vane. Forecast?

0:18:200:18:24

BUZZ

0:18:240:18:25

-Oh, wedding anniversary.

-Things you can throw. Yeah.

0:18:300:18:37

-So you can throw rice.

-Petals? Bouquet, confetti?

0:18:370:18:41

-BUZZ

-No.

0:18:410:18:43

Um. Petals, petals, gray...Wotton? What's Wotton?

0:18:450:18:51

Is there something... Does it start with a two?

0:18:510:18:55

Order of the Garter.

0:18:550:18:57

-Something a bride might have, a garter.

-Bouquet, stocking. Diamond?

0:19:000:19:07

BUZZ

0:19:070:19:09

-Oh, Lord.

-You've used one minute.

-Draw. Drawback.

0:19:090:19:14

Cable, cable... Oh, my goodness me.

0:19:170:19:19

Do you throw the garter at the end of a wedding as well?

0:19:190:19:23

BUZZ No.

0:19:230:19:25

It's not things you hold, is it? Stockings hold up garters.

0:19:250:19:29

Anne Rice, Anne Diamond. No.

0:19:290:19:32

Harriet Vane?

0:19:320:19:34

These are all people who are married to...

0:19:340:19:37

-Blue stocking?

-Things that fall?

0:19:370:19:41

We're going to have to start randoms.

0:19:410:19:44

Staple, staple.

0:19:440:19:45

-That's not...

-Anagram.

-It's not an anagram.

-Isn't it Carols?

0:19:450:19:49

-Pardon?

-Carols. Is there a Carol Wotton?

0:19:490:19:52

We're going to have to start...

0:19:520:19:57

BUZZ

0:19:570:19:58

-You've got about 40 seconds left.

-Bouquet...

0:19:580:20:02

Carol Gray's certainly an actress.

0:20:020:20:05

Carol Wotton. Carol Rice?

0:20:050:20:10

There's Anne Diamond, Anne Rice. Anne Wotton?

0:20:100:20:13

Oh, dear me. This is awful. Blue stocking, blue diamond.

0:20:160:20:20

-Yeah.

-Blue cable...

-Blue rice, blue vane...

0:20:200:20:25

You've got about ten seconds now.

0:20:270:20:29

Oh, dear me.

0:20:310:20:34

-BUZZ

-No.

0:20:340:20:36

And that's it, your time is up.

0:20:390:20:42

Don't worry, it's a very tough grid. You did well to get one group,

0:20:420:20:45

I'll give you a point. The connection?

0:20:450:20:47

Report, Forecast, Balloon, Station.

0:20:470:20:49

-Weather.

-They can be prefaced by weather, absolutely right.

0:20:490:20:52

Three points still available for connections in the groups you didn't find.

0:20:520:20:56

Let's resolve the wall. So Gray, Wootton, Hallward, Vane.

0:20:560:21:02

-Harriet?

-No.

0:21:030:21:05

-To be honest with you, you know it or you don't.

-No.

-This is a tough one if you haven't read it.

0:21:050:21:09

-They are characters in The Picture of Dorian Gray.

-Oh!

0:21:090:21:12

Dorian Gray himself, Sybil Vane, Lord Henry Wootton

0:21:120:21:16

and Basil Hallward.

0:21:160:21:18

The next group - Stocking, Diamond, Cable, Rice.

0:21:180:21:21

Can they be preceded by a colour?

0:21:210:21:23

Blue stocking, brown rice, blue diamond...

0:21:230:21:27

Preceded by a colour?

0:21:270:21:30

Purple cable. I'm afraid that's not the answer.

0:21:300:21:32

-They are types of knitting stitch.

-Oh!

0:21:320:21:35

Had you spent last night knitting over a film

0:21:350:21:37

of The Picture of Dorian Gray you'd be laughing.

0:21:370:21:41

What about the last one?

0:21:410:21:43

-Garter, Confetti, Bouquet...

-Things that are thrown at weddings.

0:21:430:21:47

That's right. You knew that category was in there,

0:21:470:21:50

things thrown at weddings and the garter is a possible,

0:21:500:21:53

but you couldn't quite get the four. Never mind.

0:21:530:21:56

You got a point for the group and two further connections.

0:21:560:21:59

Three points, not bad in a quarterfinal. Time to bring back

0:21:590:22:02

the Antiquarians for another tough quarterfinal Connecting Wall.

0:22:020:22:05

16 fresh clues, of course, need sorting into four connected groups of four.

0:22:050:22:09

You've done it before, unfortunately you have to do it again.

0:22:090:22:12

So you'll get the wall-to-wall because the line's been taken.

0:22:120:22:15

Your time starts now.

0:22:150:22:18

Camilla is a consort. The Viceroy is a...

0:22:200:22:24

Cherie is a Prime Minister's consort, if you like.

0:22:240:22:27

Viscount, another title.

0:22:270:22:29

-Contra. Oil contras.

-Squidgy was Diana.

0:22:290:22:31

OK, Diana. Would it be, though? Nicknames for...

0:22:310:22:35

-Condesa, I don't know.

-Viking is a probe.

0:22:380:22:43

Emir is a leader of...

0:22:430:22:45

-Viscount is a title.

-Isn't Comte the same as Viscount?

-And Viceroy?

0:22:450:22:50

BUZZ

0:22:500:22:52

-Contra?

-Condesa, I think, is like a count.

-Or Contra?

0:22:520:22:58

I think Emir is as well. That's the other...

0:22:580:23:00

-Is Vimy a nickname for someone?

-I don't know what that is.

0:23:000:23:03

Wellington, beef Wellington. Zipper is a zip.

0:23:030:23:08

Is it shortened or is it a brand name of something?

0:23:080:23:11

Anton du Beke from Strictly Come Dancing.

0:23:110:23:14

Camilla is a dancer in Strictly Come Dancing,

0:23:140:23:17

Ola is a Strictly Come Dancing dancer.

0:23:170:23:21

You've used a minute.

0:23:210:23:22

-Condesa? Vincent.

-There we go.

-OK.

0:23:220:23:28

Beef Wellington...

0:23:280:23:29

-Viscount, so Vimy is a title maybe?

-I don't know.

0:23:290:23:32

Viking is the same word?

0:23:320:23:33

-I think they are words for Count or, like...

-Comte?

0:23:330:23:37

-Viscount, Condesa...

-And just guess one. We've tried Emir already.

0:23:370:23:43

-We don't have Counts in English, it's Earl and Countess.

-Yeah.

0:23:430:23:47

-OK, Cherie is a nickname, Squidgy is Diana.

-You've got a minute left.

0:23:470:23:51

Assuming that Zipper's a nickname, do you think... So maybe those.

0:23:510:23:55

-I don't think Cherie's a nickname.

-Wellington. Duke of Wellington.

0:23:550:24:01

Wellington boot.

0:24:010:24:03

-Contra was a scandal. Contra oil.

-I don't think...

0:24:030:24:08

That's the same as that and that. Comte, Contra, Viscount, I've tried.

0:24:080:24:16

-Who else? Viking?

-I can't see anything.

-Viking's a space probe.

0:24:160:24:22

-Viceroy in India.

-A wordplay or...

-People who lead.

0:24:220:24:28

Zipper, zipper, what's zipper? Squidgy, zipper.

0:24:280:24:33

-It's Zippo lighter, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:24:330:24:35

-A zipper is a thing...

-Ten seconds now.

0:24:350:24:38

Your boots might have a zipper. Um, er...

0:24:380:24:41

Emir of Kuwait.

0:24:410:24:44

-Viceroy...

-Three seconds.

0:24:440:24:48

That's it.

0:24:480:24:50

You're out of time. But you've got a group. Well done. That's a point.

0:24:500:24:54

Can you tell me the connection?

0:24:540:24:56

Camilla, Vincent, Ola, Anton.

0:24:560:24:58

-They're all professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing.

-That is exactly what they are.

0:24:580:25:02

You also get points for the connections you didn't identify,

0:25:020:25:05

so let's resolve the wall.

0:25:050:25:08

Zipper, Contra, Cherie, Squidgy.

0:25:080:25:12

-Were they scandals? Or do we think nicknames?

-Zippergate, Squidgygate.

0:25:120:25:16

Yeah, gates.

0:25:160:25:17

I'll take it. They're scandals referred to as gates.

0:25:170:25:20

Zippergate, the Monica Lewinski business with Bill Clinton,

0:25:200:25:23

Contragate, the Oliver North affair. Cheriegate?

0:25:230:25:26

-Do you remember that?

-Was it to do with her psychic?

0:25:260:25:30

It was the wife of Tony Blair. It was to do with the purchase of flats in Bristol.

0:25:300:25:35

That was that thing. Squidgygate, Princess Diana and a friend on the phone.

0:25:350:25:39

They were taped. So, yes, scandals known as something gate.

0:25:390:25:42

Next group - Viking, Vimy, Wellington, Viscount.

0:25:420:25:46

-Forms of ships or boots.

-Don't waste your time, it's neither.

0:25:460:25:51

-They are Vickers aircraft.

-Oh!

0:25:510:25:54

Vickers Viking, Vickers Wellington. The last group -

0:25:540:25:57

Condesa, Viceroy, Emir, Comte.

0:25:570:25:59

They're all Counts in different countries.

0:25:590:26:03

I'm afraid they're not, because an Emir is not the same as a count at all.

0:26:030:26:07

You went a little too specific.

0:26:070:26:09

They are simply titles in the nobility.

0:26:090:26:11

Condesa is actually female and would be a countess.

0:26:110:26:14

An Emir, a Muslim prince. Just titles in the nobility.

0:26:140:26:17

But you got a point for the group you found and two more

0:26:170:26:20

for the connection, a total of three points.

0:26:200:26:23

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

0:26:230:26:26

Very close scores. It will all be decided in Round Four,

0:26:340:26:38

the Missing Vowels round, where you have to identify the names, words,

0:26:380:26:42

phrases or sayings with the vowels removed

0:26:420:26:45

and the consonants squidged up.

0:26:450:26:47

Fingers on buzzers. The first group are

0:26:470:26:50

all rival factions.

0:26:500:26:53

-BELL

-Networkers.

0:26:550:26:56

-Cavaliers and Roundheads.

-Correct.

0:26:560:26:58

Don't know this one? It's bloods and crips. Next clue.

0:27:020:27:05

-BELL

-Antiquarians.

0:27:080:27:10

-Autobots and Decepticons.

-From Transformers. Correct.

0:27:100:27:15

No? This one's to do with the Twilight novels.

0:27:190:27:21

Team Edward and Team Jacob.

0:27:210:27:23

Next category - Mathematical curves.

0:27:230:27:25

-BELL

-Networkers.

0:27:270:27:28

-Elipse.

-Correct.

0:27:280:27:30

Don't know it? It's a cardioid, a heart-shaped curve. Next clue.

0:27:360:27:41

It's tough, isn't it?

0:27:440:27:47

This one's lemniscate, like the infinity symbol.

0:27:470:27:49

Next clue.

0:27:490:27:52

Come on, teams.

0:27:540:27:55

-It's an equiangular spiral.

-BELL

0:27:550:27:57

Too late, I've started giving the answer.

0:27:570:27:59

Let's move away from maths and onto things you can insure against.

0:27:590:28:03

BELL

0:28:050:28:06

-Antiquarians.

-Car theft.

-Correct.

0:28:060:28:08

That last one was cancelled wedding.

0:28:140:28:16

But I'm afraid it's now a cancelled quiz,

0:28:160:28:19

because it's the end and in a very close-run thing,

0:28:190:28:22

the Social Networkers have got 11 points,

0:28:220:28:25

but the Antiquarians just win with 12.

0:28:250:28:27

You're through to the semi-final. Unlucky for you, Social Networkers.

0:28:270:28:31

You had a really good run, but I'm afraid it stops here.

0:28:310:28:34

Please join me next time when anything could happen.

0:28:340:28:38

When I say anything I don't mean ANYTHING.

0:28:380:28:41

If you see a rap star involved in an airport hijack

0:28:410:28:43

you're probably on the wrong channel.

0:28:430:28:45

Goodbye.
