0:01:22 > 0:01:25I think they clearly very good and it's going to be very
0:01:25 > 0:01:27tough to beat them, but we like
0:01:27 > 0:01:28a challenge, so we'll go for it.

0:02:07 > 0:02:14Er, hopefully, having a massive lead going into the Missing Vowels Round,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16because we're hopeless at it.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Is there any area of general knowledge
0:02:18 > 0:02:19you're hoping won't come up?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Anything to do with music

0:02:23 > 0:02:26OK, you said that during your heat.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27You still haven't learnt
0:02:27 > 0:02:28about music after 1970,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Well, that rules out most things. Let's play the quiz.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43In Round One, teams,

0:02:44 > 0:02:46the connection between
0:02:46 > 0:02:47four apparently random clues.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48All right, Scribes,

0:02:50 > 0:02:52what are you going to go for?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54We're going to go for Lion, please.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57All right, what is the connection between these clues?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Here's the first.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03OK, lift hill ABOVE 200 feet, I presume that means.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Next, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Is this what the... Is this what the standard should be? Next, please.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33And that first clue, that's a roller coaster
0:03:33 > 0:03:35when it's got a lift hill of 200 foot or more,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37that's a hyper coaster.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40You didn't need the last one, speed, going to hypersonic.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Hyper is the connection, well done to you. Off the blocks.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47The Eye of Horus, please.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Shots that were heard around the world or made history.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26They're all shots that made history or were heard round the world.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27That's exactly
0:04:27 > 0:04:29what they are described as -
0:04:29 > 0:04:31shots heard round the world.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Dick Cheney, what did he do in 2006?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I think he shot somebody on a hunting expedition by accident,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm led to believe.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Yes, well, so he claims.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45He shot a 78-year-old lawyer, we hope it was an accident.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Bobby Thomson, what was that?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I think it was in World Series that...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Was it the Boston Red Sox...?
0:04:52 > 0:04:53He won the National League Pennant
0:04:53 > 0:04:56for the New York Giants in a baseball game.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand started the First World War,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06by Emerson in 1837.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10So well before 1970 and in your comfort zone.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Shots heard around the world - well done for the points.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11All young people should be listening to that sort of thing -
0:06:11 > 0:06:13that is not the specific connection so let me
0:06:13 > 0:06:15go to the young people on my left.
0:06:15 > 0:06:22They're all bits of music that the tune is by another composer
0:06:22 > 0:06:25and other composers have used that tune
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- to do their own variations or... - I'll accept it.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50And the fourth one is the Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra
0:06:50 > 0:06:54which is Benjamin Britten on a Theme Of Purcell.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Brilliant!

0:06:58 > 0:07:02- it was Beethoven, but I don't know what the...- Oh, just one more
0:07:02 > 0:07:03piece of information.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04It was Beethoven's...

0:07:07 > 0:07:08..Diabelli Variations,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11but a really brilliant answer.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15So there's a possible bonus again for you, Wordsmiths.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18They were all thought up while a person asleep or in a dream?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21All of them inspired by dreams.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Yes, Benzene Ring is a circular formation.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27That was dreamed up in a dream of a snake grasping its own tail.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46- Sewing?- No, it wasn't. It was being chased by warriors with spears.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Gave him the idea for that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50And Kubla Khan you perhaps know was written by Coleridge

0:10:59 > 0:11:01That's not it either,
0:11:01 > 0:11:02although it is to do with the name.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30That's what they brought in for the Great Reform Bill?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Next, please.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Universal suffrage? One, universal suffrage? Votes for women?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43THEY MUTTER BETWEEN THEMSELVES
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- I think we'll try that.- Yeah.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Universal suffrage.- Three seconds.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52BELL
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Number one, universal suffrage.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Have another go.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Votes for women. - I'm afraid that's not the answer.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02There's a bonus chance for Scribes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06OK, number one, age restriction.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08That 's not it either.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09You'll forgive me, Wordsmiths,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13for not giving universal suffrage, it was votes for every man.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Never mind the women, they'll have the tea ready
0:14:15 > 0:14:17when you get back from the polling booth!
0:14:17 > 0:14:18This was the Chartists.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The people's Charter of 1838 and their first requirement
0:14:21 > 0:14:22votes for every man.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Not universal. So no points there.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Back to you, Scribes, to choose a question.- Two reeds, please.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Two reeds. What's the fourth in the sequence?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I can tell you, they're going to be picture clues
0:14:32 > 0:14:34so what would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Here's the first.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Catamaran.- Double-breasted boat, isn't it? Next, please.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45A banana so, skin. Yellow connection?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- What links catamaran and banana? - Banana boat?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Are they just, are they just words with decreasingly few,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54all A's but decreasingly few?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Better go. Next, please.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Macaw, could be Macaw. - Something with one A in it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Word with one A in it.- Yeah, OK, yeah. A word with one A in it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04BELL
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Cat.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07We went with hat. But very good.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You should have come in after two clues.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Can you explain your thinking? - Catamaran has four A's in it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Banana has three A's in it. And Macaw has two A's in it.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16So you wanted something with one A in it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18And specifically alternate letter A's.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22There's a consonant, an A, a consonant, an A.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25You may not have spotted that but cat does fit in the sequence
0:15:25 > 0:15:26so very well done.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Wordsmiths, what's it to be?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Twisted flax, please.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33All right. What would you expect to see as the fourth?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38It's something's tower.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Name, name, keep going.- Next, please.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's a number of something?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- A board game, is it?- Next, please.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- 18.- Liver bird. There's two of them.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Is it one?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02These are symbols of football teams.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07So that's Everton, Arsenal, Liverpool.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09What would come after that?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Five seconds.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Two seconds. - BELL
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- 19 and what's that?- Red Devil. - Red devil.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19I'll accept it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21And what's the reason?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23It's the number of times they've won the league.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I'll leave it to my football correspondent.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Number nine, Everton, the Prince Rupert's Tower
0:16:28 > 0:16:31is a symbol of Everton who've won the league nine times.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34A Cannon is the symbol of Arsenal who've won it 13 times.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38The Liver bird's a symbol of Liverpool who won 18 times.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41And Manchester United are the Red Devils have won it 19 times.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Red devil or Ship also on the badge. Manchester United.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49It's 19 as we record it, no doubt they've won 12 more.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Number of titles won by Manchester United
0:16:51 > 0:16:53as represented by Red devil.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Well done. And back to you, Scribes.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Er, Lion, please.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- OK, what's the fourth in this sequence?- Here's the first.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04THEY CONFER
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- No, you're absolutely right.- That could be a US president.- Oh, oh!
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Adam...OK, next, please.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Yeah, OK.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Oh, Lord!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18After...so it's coming...
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Er, next please.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23So, it's the ones who shared surnames
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and what's the relation of the next one,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and therefore it is Bush and it is Son. Is that correct?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Is there anyone in between that we've missed out?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- Ten seconds. - I think it'll be Bush, son.- Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Bush, son.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39..is the correct answer. And why is that?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41These are the presidents where there's been two of the name
0:17:41 > 0:17:44and they've been related, so there was John Adams, John Quincy Adams
0:17:44 > 0:17:47and then Benjamin Harrison and William Henry Harrison.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Quite right.- And Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52and then, of course, George HW and George W Bush.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55That's right, the younger Bush, the son of the previous,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58was the next president with the same surname. Well done.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02One question remains for you, Wordsmiths. Water.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09THEY CONFER
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Next, please.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Five, six...next.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Next, please.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Ten seconds.
0:18:38 > 0:18:4207, 06...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Three seconds.
0:18:44 > 0:18:4907/06, 2354.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53That is not the answer. Scribes, d'you want to have a go for a bonus?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- I would have been gutted if they'd guessed that.- Good luck.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Erm, 05/07, 2435.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I'm getting a sense that you both know what the connection is.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06What's the connection?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- I don't know.- No idea? - Not at first hand, no.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Oh, well, what you said actually subscribed to it,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13but it wasn't next in the sequence.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16They are dates with no repeated digit,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18dates where no one digit comes up twice,
0:19:18 > 0:19:23and the next along would be the very next day, 18/06, 2345.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Dates where you only get the digits once, going forwards through time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30At the end of Round Two,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32the Scribes are up to six points,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35the Wordsmiths are ahead with eight.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39We were worried that wasn't difficult enough,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41so we've multiplied everything by four.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42It's time for the Connecting Wall.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Wordsmiths, your turn to go first this time,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and you have a choice, Lion or Water?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Water, please.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52OK, you have two and a half minutes to solve the Water Wall,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54starting now.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- What do you say?- Jim Dale. - Well, we've got Carry On characters.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Four-in-hand. Hansom. Gig.- Hansom...
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Four-in-hand, Hansom...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Stanhope, Gig...
0:20:10 > 0:20:13We've also got Carry On characters. Windsor, James, Jack...
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Places in the Isle of Man. - Four-in-hand...
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Ah, Peel.- There's Connor.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Douglas, Castletown...
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Ramsey.- Right, we're down to five for Carry On.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- Connor, James, Dale, Jack, Windsor. - What's that? Connor...
0:20:30 > 0:20:35Connor, James, Jacques in the corner, Jacques in the corner.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Three strikes now, be careful.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Viscount Stanhope.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42No, a gig would connect horses.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Gig, Surrey, right,
0:20:43 > 0:20:48we're on Hansom, Gig, Surrey are all carriages, so's an Oriental.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Is it? Oh, right.- So's a Windsor, I think. What is four-in-hand?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Pratt...- What's Pratt?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Pratt changed his...Pratt was the name of Quentin Crisp
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and also the name of Boris Karloff.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01People that have changed their name?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Don't know who Stanhope is, but we know we've got carriages in there.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05What's four-in-hand?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Four-in-hand's a carriage as well, unfortunately, yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11You're about halfway through the time.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- So, four-in-hand must be a carriage. - What can the others be?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Surrey we know is a carriage,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19could be something else.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Oriental's a carriage.- Pratt?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Hansom's likely to be a carriage, isn't it?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26But he was an architect as well.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Is Pratt an architect? And Stanhope?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Stanhope's an architect. That one, that one, that one and that one?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Yeah. Try it. Try it. - Shall we try that?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- OK, two lives now.- Right, four-in-hand must be a carriage.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Yeah, gig's going to be a carriage.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Oriental you reckon's a carriage, it's not a name. Try it.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- You've got 30 seconds. - And Surrey?- No, we've tried that.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Pratt, then, or Windsor.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57One life remaining.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01So four-in-hand, gig, Oriental, Hansom?
0:22:01 > 0:22:02- Try that?- Yeah.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06We've messed it up again, never mind.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Nope, that's not it and the wall's frozen
0:22:10 > 0:22:13but you found two groups, I'll give you points for the connections.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Douglas, Castletown, Ramsey, Peel.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Towns on the Isle of Man.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Yes, they are in fact the only four official towns on the Isle of Man.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Connor, James, Dale, Jacques.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27People who've appeared in Carry On films.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29That's right, Kenneth Connor, Sid James,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Jim Dale, Hattie Jacques from the Carry On films.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34More points available for the connections
0:22:34 > 0:22:36in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Right, Stanhope or Stannup, Gig, Hansom, Surrey.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Carriages.- Types of carriages?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Any more?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Horse-drawn carriages. - Horse-drawn carriages.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Yes, I'd have thought Hansom was the famous one, actually.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52You get the point. And the last one,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Pratt, Windsor, Oriental, Four-in-hand.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- I can't give you long. - Hands in cards?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04No, that's too long, I'm going to have to tell you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07They are knots used for neckties.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Knots, those ones. But you found two groups and you get three more points
0:23:11 > 0:23:13for the connections, that's a total of five.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Time to bring in their opponents, the Scribes,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18see how they fare with the other Connecting Wall.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Equally difficult, same basic principle.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Hello, Scribes. You're going to get the Lion Wall.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27You've got two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33OK, female assassins. Leon, Nikita are different types of assassin...
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- These are Luc Besson films. - Yeah, OK, Subway, Leon and Nikita.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40OK, very good. Spanish bank, there are banks here, aren't there?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Santander, Yorkshire... Egg is also a type of bank.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- And Clydesdale's a bank. - Pamplona, Salamanca, Burgos...
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Percheron is a horse and Suffolk is a horse.- Northern Rock, Egg...
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- OK, sorry, I should probably hit some, shouldn't I?- Spanish cities...
0:23:52 > 0:23:56OK, Pamplona, Salamanca and Burgos?
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Three lives, now, so be careful.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Percheron is a horse, Clydesdale is a horse...
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Suffolk's a horse. And Belgian is...there's a Belgian...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05It's more likely to be that, cos the others are definitely banks.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06OK, try the banks.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10That's it, you've solved the Wall. Goodness me!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Do you think this was a particularly easy one
0:24:12 > 0:24:14or you just had a good fish breakfast?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Just our area.- Let's find out if you know the connections.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22So in the first one, Nikita, Subway, Leon, The Fifth Element.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28- Luc Besson films. - Films by Luc Besson, quite right.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31What about the next one? Pamplona, Salamanca, Toledo or Burgos?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Spanish cities?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I'll take it. Anything more you'd like to tell me about them?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39They've got famous bullfighters?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41They probably do, the Spanish are nice like that.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44What I was looking for is INLAND Spanish cities.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47They probably all have bullfights, though, more's the pity.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52What about the next group? Suffolk, Belgian, Clydesdale, Percheron.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- They're all types of horse. - Any more?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Are they sort of draught horses, big ones?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Draught horses, that's exactly what they all are, well done.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05And Egg, Northern, Santander, Yorkshire.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- They're banks.- Any more?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I mean, I'm going to accept banks, but tell me more if you can.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Egg is an...was an offshoot of Prudential and was online.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Santander was part of Abbey National, I don't know.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I'm just saying bank facts.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I'll tell you what they are, depressingly,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24they are British banks owned by foreign groups,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27but I will take banks. Four points for finding the groups,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29four more points for the connections.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31An extra two points for getting it all right,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33we do usually do that, it's not an exception.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36That's the maximum of ten points, very well done.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41Let's see how that leaves the scores going into the final round.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43The Wordsmiths have got 13 points,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45but the Scribes are now ahead with 16.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49And if you're watching Only Connect for the first time,
0:25:49 > 0:25:50my Lord, you must be baffled!
0:25:50 > 0:25:53But you might be interested to hear we also have a website,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56where you can play connecting walls and even write your own.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Imagine that.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02All change here and may change again as we play the Missing Vowels round.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05This will decide who goes into the final.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Fingers on buzzers, teams.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I can tell you the first group are all...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Scribes.- ALL: Barnardos.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Wordsmiths?- ActionAid.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Scribes.- Marie Curie Cancer Care.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Scribes?- Woodland Trust.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Next category...
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Scribes?- Tetanus and Lockjaw.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Scribes?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Hansen's Disease and Leprosy.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Scribes?- Sorry. - I'm afraid you lose a point.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Wordsmiths, d'you want to have a go? - It's Pyresis and Heartburn.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'm afraid that's not it, but you don't lose a point.
