0:00:21 > 0:00:26Hello and welcome to the natural home of devoted quiz obsessives everywhere.

0:00:26 > 0:00:27Only Connect.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Or as we make just as well have called it, Only The lonely.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35It as a quarter-final tonight and our returning teams are:

0:00:35 > 0:00:38on my right, Paul Baker, a social care studies graduate

0:00:42 > 0:00:46Andrew Steen, a sales administrator and art enthusiast who

0:00:46 > 0:00:50runs a pub in Winchester and can grow a full beard in one week.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52And their captain, David Norcott,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55a geoarcheologist and keen darts player that keeps chickens

0:00:55 > 0:00:57and whose father went to school with John Craven.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00they are all graduates of King Alfred's College in Winchester,

0:01:00 > 0:01:03they are the Wintonians.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06You didn't know motto of King Alfred's College, which I asked you,

0:01:06 > 0:01:10and I can tell you I have looked it up since and it is, "Knowledge And Wisdom."

0:01:10 > 0:01:13- It is an embarrassing thing not to know.- It is nothing if not ironic.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16You beat the Quitters, how are you feeling about the quarter-finals?

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Quite bewildered, I think.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20That is an excellent state in which to start the show.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21Let's see if we can bewilder

0:01:21 > 0:01:23you further by showing you your opposition.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26On my left, Brian Pendreigh, an author and journalist who has

0:01:26 > 0:01:30represented Britain in the Journalists World Tennis Championship

0:01:30 > 0:01:32but has never won a singles match in his life.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44And their captain, Dave Taylor, a retired transport manager

0:01:44 > 0:01:51and keen supporter of football and cricket, who wore jeans for the first time at the age of 60.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53United by their love of both reading and

0:01:53 > 0:01:56writing, they are the Wordsmiths. You beat the Educators,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58how have you been preparing for the quarter finals?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01We have been singing our team song,

0:02:01 > 0:02:04which is the Free Electric Band by Albert Hammond.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Let's have a little snatch of that now.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12# My father was a doctor...#

0:02:12 > 0:02:15That is beautiful, I'm going to stop you there. We haven't got all night.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Let's press on with Round One.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Very game though, thank you for singing.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24You will remember, I expect, that in round one I simply want

0:02:24 > 0:02:27to know the connection between four apparently random clues.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Wintonians, you won the toss.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31You will go first. Please choose a hieroglyph.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Horned Viper, please.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34OK, this is the first question of the quarter-finals.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37What is the connection? Time starts now.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41THEY CONFER

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Next, please.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Munich children. Children of Munich.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Is it too easy?- Kinder, isn't it? It is not children.

0:02:55 > 0:03:00- Next, please.- Serjeant at Arms? - Is it something to do with symbols?

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Is it something to do with chevrons?

0:03:01 > 0:03:07It might be to do with chevrons. See the last one.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10- And the last one, please.- 10 seconds. - Greek Olympic team.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Three seconds.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21We are going to have a stab at chevrons.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Why would it be chevrons?

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Because they are the sort of thing you might use as a symbol for various

0:03:26 > 0:03:28ranks of things, there are a couple of army things in there.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30We'll have a punt.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Something you say in a quiz, like Red Rum or Muhammad Ali?

0:03:32 > 0:03:33That is it.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36A valiant guess, but that is not the answer

0:03:36 > 0:03:38so Wordsmiths, you have a chance.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40They are the first people in a procession.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44They lead processions or parades. What processions do they lead?

0:03:44 > 0:03:47The Greek Olympic team is the Olympics.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Yes.- Serjeant-at-Arms is the opening of Parliament.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Opening of Parliament, aye.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55That is right, leads MPs from the Commons to the Lords.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57The other two,

0:03:57 > 0:04:01I would guess that the New York one is perhaps St Patrick's Day.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Very good guess, it is the St Patrick's Day parade.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07The next one you can surely guess, it is something German.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Something German...

0:04:08 > 0:04:09The beer festival.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Yes! It is the girl who leads the Oktoberfest

0:04:12 > 0:04:14parade before the beer festival.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Very well deduced.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19That is the kind of lateral thinking we like, and it gets you your own

0:04:19 > 0:04:20question. Which would you like?

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- The Eye Of Horus, please. - Eye of Horus.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26What is the connection here? Time starts now.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34- It might be a year, 18-something. - Could be a year.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36THEY CONFER

0:04:49 > 0:04:50Next one, please.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Something to do with EastEnders.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58- 10 seconds. - Next, please.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05- There was Bethnal Green. - Three seconds.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Did they all happen at Bethnal Green?

0:05:08 > 0:05:11They did not all happen in Bethnal Green, a chance for you, Wintonians.

0:05:11 > 0:05:17- We think they all happened on Christmas Day.- Not that either.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20You were closer.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22George Cornell was killed by Ronnie Kray in Bethnal Green,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- where in Bethnal Green?- In a pub.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27In a pub. They all happened in pubs.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Football Association founded, do you know where?- The pub!

0:05:35 > 0:05:39It was a pub, specifically the Freemasons Tavern in Covent Garden.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Alfie Moon and Kat Slater wed in the Queen Vic.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47And the Blind Beggar is the infamous pub suggested by the last clue.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48They all happened in London pubs.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51No points then. Wintonains, your question.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Twisted Flax.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57The music question. You will be hearing the clues.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58First one coming in now.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01MUSIC: "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Tutti Frutti, Little Richard.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Next.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Sinead O'Connor. Written by Prince.

0:06:22 > 0:06:27Hit singles...all written by somebody else.

0:06:28 > 0:06:3010 seconds.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Three seconds.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Hello?

0:06:41 > 0:06:46We think they were all written by someone else, who...

0:06:46 > 0:06:47That's it.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49A lot of songs have been written by someone else.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Let's be honest. That's a bit vague.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Wordsmiths, I will play you a quick snatch to the last clue.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58MUSIC: "Let's Stay Together" By Al Green

0:07:02 > 0:07:04That is enough of that.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09- You can get a bonus point if you tell me the connection.- Al Green?

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Do you have an answer?- They all have the letter U in them.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16They do not.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20In fact only one of them has a U, which would be the second one,

0:07:20 > 0:07:21DJ Run from Run DMC.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I will tell you that these performers.

0:07:23 > 0:07:30- Little Richard.- Ministers.- Al Green. They are ordained ministers.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34The third one, Sinead O'Connor, an ordained minister.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Quite unusual to be a Catholic priest when you're a woman

0:07:37 > 0:07:38and married.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42But Sinead O'Connor was ordained in the ceremony by a breakaway group.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45All the performers have been through ordination ceremonies

0:07:45 > 0:07:47as ministers, no points.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51You got it too late. Wordsmiths, you may choose your own question.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds. What's the connection here?

0:07:55 > 0:07:56Time starts now.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Next, please.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05Next, please.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12THEY CONFER

0:08:12 > 0:08:14What was Prince's original name?

0:08:14 > 0:08:15They've all changed their name

0:08:15 > 0:08:19and then gone back to what it was...

0:08:23 > 0:08:26They have changed their name and then gone back to what it originally was.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Exactly right. They have all reverted to their original names.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Last one was Cape Canaveral which was changed to Cape Kennedy in 1963

0:08:34 > 0:08:36and changed back again.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Prince changed his name to an odd symbol, Oslo, do you know what

0:08:39 > 0:08:43- that was changed to?- Christiania. - That is right.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44- And Leyton Orient became...- Orient.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Just Orient, now Leyton Orient again.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49All of them changed their names and change back again.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Well done.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Speaking of back again, Wintonians over to you.- Lion, please.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59All right. What is the connection between these four clues? Or fewer.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Here is the first.

0:09:03 > 0:09:04THEY CONFER

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Next, please.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12These are all things that...guises of Zeus.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15These are all things that Zeus came to Earth...

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Yeah, guises of Zeus. Go on.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22We will have a stab, we think they might be guises of Zeus.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I will accept it. I would like to hear more if you can.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Let's ask Steeney.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32He came to earth as a white bull and as a swan.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Didn't he do something terrible as a swan as well?

0:09:34 > 0:09:36They are all forms taken by Zeus

0:09:36 > 0:09:40and he took those forms to "seduce women".

0:09:40 > 0:09:43That is was it says on my screen. "Seduce women".

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Golden rain and Artemis.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Took the form of a woman, an ancient Greece Tootsie there...

0:09:50 > 0:09:54..to seduce Callisto, the nymph.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Forms taken by Zeus.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Coming in after two clues you get three points. Excellent.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01That leaves just one question for you, Wordsmiths.

0:10:01 > 0:10:06The Water question and the picture clues. What is the connection?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Here is the first.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12THEY CONFER

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Next, please.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Functions, hyperbolic functions.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Next, please.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Oh, gosh.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- I can't even see it. - It's a collage.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Next, please.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Spirals.- Spirals.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Yeah.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Spirals.- That is indeed the connection.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Well done. What are we looking at?

0:10:44 > 0:10:51That lady is doing a spiral on the ice, I suspect that they are the

0:10:51 > 0:10:57- mathematical functions for a spiral. - Formula for a logarithmic spiral.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Forget the other one, and that is a spiral galaxy.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05The third one is a French TV series known as Engrenages in French,

0:11:05 > 0:11:07shown on BBC Four as Spiral.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09But you got the connection.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13They are all spirals. Well done. you get the points.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Meaning at the end of round one,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17the Wintonians have three points,

0:11:17 > 0:11:19the Wordsmiths are ahead with four.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24On to round two, sequences.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Also harder than your heats because it is still the quarter-final.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29What would be the fourth in a sequence

0:11:29 > 0:11:31is the question I'm asking you, teams.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Wintonians, you will go first. Choose a hieroglyph.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Eye Of Horus, please.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39All right, you may see a maximum of three clues before telling me

0:11:39 > 0:11:41what would be fourth. Here is the first.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46THEY CONFER

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Next, please.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Presented by someone? Adrian Chiles?

0:11:55 > 0:11:56The sequence?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Next, please.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Soccer Saturday.- Is there a presenter that has been

0:12:06 > 0:12:09on all of these programmes? What would be the next one?

0:12:11 > 0:12:1310 seconds.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14THEY CONFER

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Three seconds.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23The One Show.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26I am afraid that is not the answer, a bonus chance for the Wordsmiths.

0:12:28 > 0:12:33- Arm, whatever Des Lynam is on.- He did Countdown as well.- Countdown?

0:12:33 > 0:12:36You are terribly unlucky, that is not the answer

0:12:36 > 0:12:38but it is the connection.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40The answer is The Apprentice.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44And the reason is, these are all the main programmes

0:12:44 > 0:12:49presented by people who subsequently became host of Countdown.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Previous shows of Countdown presenters

0:12:52 > 0:12:55and we were looking for The Apprentice.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Wordsmiths, your turn to choose a question.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02- Horned Viper, please. - What is the fourth in this sequence?

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Here's the first.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Next please.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08THEY CONFER

0:13:12 > 0:13:16Might be to do with the words.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Next, please.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25H, Henry, I think.

0:13:25 > 0:13:30- They are all SI units, aren't they? - Try that?

0:13:31 > 0:13:37- Henry.- Henry is precisely the answer I was looking for. Why is that?

0:13:37 > 0:13:39SI units in alphabetical order?

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Or units of...

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Well, it is not just alphabetical,

0:13:44 > 0:13:48had you said Hertz I might have taken that,

0:13:48 > 0:13:50but we were looking for the one specifically

0:13:50 > 0:13:52represented by the symbols E, F, G and H.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Hertz would be Hz.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56The one represented by H would be Henry.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Scientific units with the symbols E, F, G and H.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Wanted to hear Henry and did, thank you very much

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Back to you, Wintonians

0:14:03 > 0:14:05for a unit of quizzing.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Twisted Flax, please.

0:14:07 > 0:14:08All right, what is the fourth in this sequence?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Here is the first.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Next, please.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Oh, my God, what is it from?

0:14:23 > 0:14:27It's something that a toy says or something weird like that.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30- "Ha ha, that tickles?"- Next, please.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39Oh, it's levels on Doom.

0:14:39 > 0:14:4010 seconds.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Is it Insanity?- That is not the answer.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Bonus chance for the Wordsmiths.

0:14:48 > 0:14:53- Hit Me Baby One More Time? - No! Ha-ha!

0:14:53 > 0:14:57It is not. The connection is of course messages that

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I have written in Valentines cards over the years.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02How could you know? No, do you know the connection?

0:15:02 > 0:15:08I think it is levels of difficulty on Doom and Quake, games like that.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11That is exactly what it is, difficulty levels in Doom.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16- And next is Nightmare.- Nightmare! - That is what it would have been.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19So close but no cigar. Back to you then, Wordsmiths, to choose.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Two Reeds, please.- What is the fourth in this sequence?

0:15:22 > 0:15:23Here's the first.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Are these stops on the...

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Next, please.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Six, San Francisco.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Round the world in 80 days, perhaps?

0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Keep going.- Next, please.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Stop 8, London.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55Stop 8, the Reform Club, London.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Have a look at the other clues and go again.

0:15:57 > 0:15:58London. London.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Stop 8, London, that is all I needed to know.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Why is that?

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Around The World In 80 Days.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07It is the planned itinerary of

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Phileas Fogg, in Around The World In 80 days.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12You went too specific even for us. Save it for the final.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Not that I am suggesting they will get there, of course.

0:16:15 > 0:16:20Stop 8, London was the destination of Phileas Fogg, well done.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21Wintonians, what would you like?

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Lion, please.- Lion. What is the fourth in this sequence?

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Here is the first.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30THEY CONFER

0:16:34 > 0:16:35Next, please.

0:16:35 > 0:16:42- What's the last...?- George III.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Next, please.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Five seconds.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Two seconds.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Elizabeth in 2012.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13I'm afraid that is not the answer, so there's a possible bonus

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- for the Wordsmiths.- Elizabeth in 2002.- Elizabeth in 2002.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Have a look at the other clues and go again.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Elizabeth II.- Elizabeth II in 2002.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26I suspect you know, Wintonians, that it was to do with jubilees.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30It's the year's in which these monarchs had their Golden Jubilees.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33The next one after Victoria to reign for 50 years,

0:17:33 > 0:17:34Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

0:17:34 > 0:17:39Diamond Jubilee was 2012 but we were looking for the Golden one. Right.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43That leaves on question, Water. It's yours, Wordsmiths.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45They're going to be picture clues.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Transistor radio.- Transistor radio...

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Next, please.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Trotsky.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09Canterbury, where someone was murdered.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Pick it.- So what is connecting?

0:18:12 > 0:18:17- Trotsky... One.- Back to Mexico.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Ten seconds.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Walk, trot. Walk, trot.- Trotter.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Three seconds.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Gallop.- Gallop.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31And I'm afraid you're out of time,

0:18:31 > 0:18:33so there's a possible bonus chance for the Wintonians.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36We'll say gallop.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Have a look at the other clues and try again.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Oh, for heaven's sake! I'll take it.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Could you not think of anything with the word "gallop" in it?

0:18:46 > 0:18:51As I think your opponents also knew, Walkman, Trotsky, Canterbury.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'm going to take "gallop", but I would've liked, for example,

0:18:54 > 0:18:55The Galloping Gourmet,

0:18:55 > 0:18:57as we've chosen something with "gallop".

0:18:57 > 0:19:02It's a horse's gait getting faster. Well done for the bonus point.

0:19:02 > 0:19:07Meaning, at the end of Round Two, the Wintonians have got four points,

0:19:07 > 0:19:09but the Wordsmith are ahead with nine.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Time for the horrors, or if you're a masochist,

0:19:13 > 0:19:15joys of the Connecting Wall.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19Wordsmiths are going to go first this time. You have a choice.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Would you like Lion or Water? - Water, please.- OK.

0:19:22 > 0:19:27Two and a half minutes to solve the Water Wall starting now.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Melchett's in, erm...

0:19:31 > 0:19:38- Erm, yeah. Blackadder...- Sam Browne rings a bell. Baldrick's a bell.

0:19:38 > 0:19:43So we've got Flasheart, Melchett, Darling...

0:19:45 > 0:19:47..and Baldrick.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Baldrick's also a bell. Sam Browne should be uniquely a bell.

0:19:50 > 0:19:55- So try Baldrick.- What others? Girdle. - Girdle, yeah.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Obi, that's a sash, isn't it?- Try it.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Well done. Frankland's a prison, Parkhurst's a prison.- Belmarsh.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Belmarsh. Think Whitemoor is as well.- Try.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Might be Woodhill.- Parkhurst, Whitemoor, Belmarsh.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13All right, we'll try the five and you look at others.

0:20:13 > 0:20:18Van Diemen, Van Dyke, Van Allen, Van Persie.

0:20:21 > 0:20:26- Van Dyke, Van Persie.- That's three lives now, remember.

0:20:26 > 0:20:33Melchett, Darling, Flasheart...and one other. What would the others be?

0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Parkhurst, definitely a prison. - Let's put... Parkhurst and Belmarsh

0:20:37 > 0:20:40are definitely prisons. It's just between Woodhill and Whitemoor.

0:20:40 > 0:20:47- You work it out. Go for it.- You're about halfway through the time.

0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Whitemoor?- I thought we tried Whitemoor before.- Two more lives.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Try it again with Whitemoor because...

0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Whitemoor...- Frankland... - Parkhurst... Belmarsh.

0:21:02 > 0:21:07- One more go.- Flasheart's definitely...

0:21:07 > 0:21:11- Melchett's definitely in black there. - Darling...

0:21:11 > 0:21:15You wouldn't think it's a prison, would you? No, it has to be.

0:21:15 > 0:21:21- Frankland? When they were... - Right, try.- Or is it Parkhurst?

0:21:21 > 0:21:26- Just...- But Frankland sounds as it's most likely to be...

0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Blackadder.- You've got 30 seconds. - It's going to be Woodhill.

0:21:30 > 0:21:36Frankland was a night. Frankland seems the most likely.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40- We going to risk it?- Yeah, we have to try.- Ah, no.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42That was your third life and the wall's frozen

0:21:42 > 0:21:44but you got two points.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47What about some connections? Tell me about the first group.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49They're all belts or sashes or...

0:21:49 > 0:21:51That's what they are, belts or sashes.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54- What about the next one?- Van.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56You can put "Van" before all of them.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Do you know which people you get if you do that?

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Well, Van Allen, Van Persie...

0:22:00 > 0:22:04Yes, James van Allen, the scientist. Who's van Persie?

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Robin van Persie. - He is a footballer.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Van Diemen, the explorer.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Governor General of the Dutch East Indies.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- And van Dyke?- Dick.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14Lovely Dick van Dyke.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17You can also get connecting points for the groups you didn't find.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19So, let's resolve the wall.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Flasheart, Melchett, Parkhurst, Darling?

0:22:22 > 0:22:26They're all characters in the Blackadder series.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Yes, specifically Black Adder Goes Forth.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32It was Parkhurst you didn't know. Driver Bob Parkhurst

0:22:32 > 0:22:33- was that elusive character.- Bob.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Yes, Bob.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37What about the last one?

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- They're all prisons. - They are high security prisons.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43It was unlikely that Darling would be a prison, isn't it?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46They say it's easy in there now but it's not loving.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49So, you found two groups and you got four connecting points -

0:22:49 > 0:22:51that is a total of six.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Time to bring back the Wintonians and see what they can do

0:22:53 > 0:22:56with an equally fiendish quarter final Connecting Wall.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59But a new wall, of course, 16 fresh clues.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03You're going to get the other wall then, Wintonians. Good luck!

0:23:03 > 0:23:07You've got two and a half minutes to solve it. Starting now.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Right, well, Beverley, Halifax, York, places in Yorkshire. Scarborough.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16We've got Beverley Sisters, Scissor Sisters, Pointer Sisters.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Andrews Sisters.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22Places in Yorkshire. Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26ROYGBIV. But they're all in there.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32..There's gave as well, isn't there? Let me go through the...

0:23:32 > 0:23:36You keep going. You can go through Yorkshire towns.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Howden is one, I think. No.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Where's Southwell?

0:23:42 > 0:23:46Anyway. Building societies. Halifax. Alliance. Portman.

0:23:46 > 0:23:51Portman is one, yeah. Is the Howden or York? Try one.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Try one. You go on to something else and I'll float around with these.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56OK.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Three lives now remember.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Battle is the place where they had the battle of Hastings.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08If it's a place...

0:24:08 > 0:24:11- There was a Battle... - Vain has an alternative spelling.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13I think Richard of York gave battle in vain is one of the answers

0:24:13 > 0:24:15the rainbow one, isn't it? Do you not think?

0:24:15 > 0:24:19Well, we did it. We tried it. No, but there's Richard York gave battle.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Oh, I see! So, Southwell, Howden, Croydon.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27Are they...? Are they London boroughs?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29They're all... I don't know.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Are they London boroughs? Is Howden London?

0:24:33 > 0:24:37- I don't know.- I think Southwell and Croydon definitely are.

0:24:37 > 0:24:42- Howden.- Is "Gave" gave, or is it gah-vay or something weird?

0:24:42 > 0:24:48- Archbishops.- There is a Bishop of Croydon, isn't there?

0:24:48 > 0:24:52- There's a Bishop of Southwell. - There's a Bishop of Southwick.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57- Oh, yeah.- So... You've solved the wall. That is four points immediately.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Let's look for the connections.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Beverley, Scissor, Andrews, Pointer?

0:25:02 > 0:25:06- Er, sisters. - They are singing sisters.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Not all of them actually sisters. I think the Scissor Sisters are boys.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13But the something Sisters to make pop groups. That's right.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Next one...

0:25:15 > 0:25:16- Building societies.- That's it.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21- They're all building... Actually, former building societies. - And the next group...

0:25:21 > 0:25:24York, Southwell, Howden, Croydon.

0:25:24 > 0:25:29- Do they all have bishops? - Now, that is very broad.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33I don't think they got Archbishops. Let's go with Archbishops.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35No, you've gone too far again.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Archbishop of York, yes, but there's no Bishop of Howden.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42I wanted - because it is religious - minsters.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45- I was going to say it.- York Minster, Southwell Minster, Howden Minster,

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Croydon Minster. Minster churches.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Or the towns that contain them.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52What about the next group? Gave, Richard, Vain, Battle.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56They're part of the mnemonic for remembering rainbow colours.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58That's right. Richard of York gave battle in vain.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01So, four groups - that's four points immediately.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Three connections. It's a total of seven.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Let's see how that leaves the scores.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15You'll find more connecting walls on our website -

0:26:15 > 0:26:17where you can also write your own.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21We're going to play Round Four - the missing vowels round.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25The first group are all...

0:26:30 > 0:26:33Wordsmiths...

0:26:33 > 0:26:34Correct.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Wintonians...

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Correct.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Wintonians...

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Correct.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Wintonians...

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Correct. Next category...

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Wintonians...

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Correct.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Wintonians...

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Correct.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Wordsmiths...

0:27:10 > 0:27:11Correct.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Wintonians... Correct.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16Next category...

0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Wintonians.- Barrier st... - No. I'm afraid you lose a point.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Wordsmiths, do you know it? Too long.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33The answer's barriers to entry. Next clue.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Wordsmiths.- Net cost.- I was looking for unit cost, but I'll take that.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Next clue.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Don't know this one. It's acid test ratio.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Next clue.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Wordsmiths. Correct.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Next category.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07Wintonians. Correct. Oh!

0:28:09 > 0:28:15And that is the end of the quiz. Nailbiting Round Four.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Ends with the Wintonians on 17.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22But the winners with 19 are the Wordsmiths.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26Very well done, Wordsmiths. You're through to the semifinals.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30And so unlucky, Wintonians. You were really close on the early rounds.

0:28:30 > 0:28:31Absolutely made up the numbers.

0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Just pipped at the end. Thank you very much for playing.- Thank you.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38Please join me next time for another episode of the quiz

0:28:38 > 0:28:41that's harder than a Glasgow landlady.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43And, as you'd know, if you were here with me in the studio,

0:28:43 > 0:28:47smells just as strongly of whisky. Goodbye.
