0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello and welcome to the final of Only Connect.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26For both of our teams here in Cardiff tonight,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28this is the end of a gruelling journey
0:00:28 > 0:00:32full of nail-biting tension and heart-stopping terror...
0:00:32 > 0:00:34but that's the M4 for you.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Now, this is a doubly special episode,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39because not only is it the final, it is also our 100th show,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42a fact of which we are all extremely proud,
0:00:42 > 0:00:43apart from our Question Editor,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46who points out that 100 is only considered a significant number
0:00:46 > 0:00:48by people with ten fingers.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52And that's why he's saving his own celebration for show number 144.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55But I tell you what, he's a hell of a pianist.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59In contention for championship tonight...
0:00:59 > 0:01:01On my right, Holly Pattenden,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04an opera fanatic who works as a strategy analyst
0:01:04 > 0:01:07and has a phobia of light bulbs and vacuum cleaners...
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Gareth Price, a magazine editor and member of the Islington Folk Club,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13who enjoys listening to concertinas...
0:01:13 > 0:01:15and their captain, Dom Tait,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18an associate editor with an interest in natural history,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22who loves dining out at Michelin-starred restaurants.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25United by their love of writing, they are the Scribes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Now, Dom, you beat the Ciphers, the TEFL teachers
0:01:28 > 0:01:30and the Wordsmiths to get to the final.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Who's been your toughest opposition?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Erm, they've all presented unique challenges.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I guess I'd have to say the Wordsmiths.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39They were really, really sharp
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and we were quite grateful to prevail in the end.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Let's see who you're facing. On my left...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Andy Tucker, the first president of the Azerbaijan Cricket Federation,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53who once played a psychopath washed up on a desert island
0:01:53 > 0:01:54in an amateur dramatic production.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I would pay a lot of money to see that.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Steve Dodding, a dental surgeon
0:01:58 > 0:02:01who has won over 50 CDs from the Ken Bruce show
0:02:01 > 0:02:05and once had claustrophobia when trapped in the Great Pyramid...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07and their captain, Iwan Thomas,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09a freelance science editor and failed calligrapher,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13who followed the Welsh rugby team on tour around New Zealand.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16They've beaten the Joinees, the Numerists and the Footballers
0:02:16 > 0:02:18on their way to the final, and they love a nice pint.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20They are the Draughtsmen.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Iwan, you've had a couple of close shaves and a tie-break.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26How a feeling about the final?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30The tension has ramped up in every round from the previous round,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33and the tension in the final is immense.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Are your team generally people of calm temperament?- I think so.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I think we're reasonably calm, but tonight is the exception.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Well, I'll see what I can do.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47On then with Round One. What's the connection between four clues?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49And of course, this is the final.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'm amazed if you'll be able to spot it.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Draughtsmen, you're being put into play first.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Which hieroglyph would you like?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- The Eye of Horus, please.- OK.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59First question of the final
0:02:59 > 0:03:01is about to begin.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Your first clue coming up now.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- No.- It's not Mike England?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Mike England played for Wales.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Ooh, it could be. Shall we go for it?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Mike England played for Wales.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Was that...?- Next, then, please.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Yes, it is. - BELL
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Yes, it's international players...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Mike England played for Wales,
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Alan Brazil played for Scotland.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31who have the surname of another country.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Footballers and their playing countries.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34What a start to the final,
0:03:34 > 0:03:35coming in after two clues.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37You get three points.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38You didn't need Jason Scotland,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40who played for Trinidad and Tobago,
0:03:40 > 0:03:41or Matt Holland who played for
0:03:41 > 0:03:43the Republic of Ireland. Brilliant.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45The final seems to have started, Scribes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47What would you like?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Let's go for Horned Viper, please.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Constitution.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51On the US Constitution?!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'm going to have to investigate
0:04:53 > 0:04:54after the show. But for now,
0:04:54 > 0:04:55I don't accept your answer.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57There's a possible bonus chance
0:04:57 > 0:04:58for the Draughtsmen.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16These images have been
0:05:16 > 0:05:18flipped horizontally.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21They are not accurately portrayed.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23The images have been flipped.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Two oil paintings, a roadworks sign,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27and the Statue of Liberty,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29all represented back-to-front.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11so I'll show the fourth clue
0:06:11 > 0:06:12to the Scribes,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14for a possible bonus.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35- of Queen Anne's revenge.- Correct.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36It would teach the pirate
0:06:36 > 0:06:38known as Blackbeard.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Perrault character, that's Bluebeard.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04There's a Scottish flag.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Yeah.- So, what's it...? Scotland...
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Shall we go onto the next one?
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Next, please.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16It'll be...argent cross gule
0:11:16 > 0:11:18is the English flag.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21And it's the name of the saint,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23so it will be G equals...
0:11:23 > 0:11:25BELL
0:11:25 > 0:11:26G equals argent cross gule.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I'm afraid that's not the answer,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30so I'm going to show the third
0:11:30 > 0:11:32in the sequence to the Scribes.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34You have a chance for a bonus point.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36P equals...
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Oh, God...
0:11:39 > 0:11:40OK. Gule...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I'm going to put you
0:11:43 > 0:11:44out of your misery.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Now, Draughtsmen, unfortunately,
0:11:46 > 0:11:47what you didn't do is see
0:11:47 > 0:11:49the exact sequence.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It is the patron saints' flags,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53expressed in heraldic terms,
0:11:53 > 0:11:54but in alphabetical order.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56A for Andrew, D for David,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57G for St George,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59so fourth in the sequence,
0:11:59 > 0:12:00St Patrick, and that would be
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Argent a saltire gules,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04which means...red diagonal cross
0:12:04 > 0:12:06on a white background.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07So, very close,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09but you don't get the points.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Scribes, your turn
0:12:10 > 0:12:12to choose a question.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Eye of Horus, please.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14OK. What would be the fourth
0:12:14 > 0:12:15in this sequence?
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Here's the first.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20OK, interesting. Things taken
0:12:20 > 0:12:22on the Scott expedition?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Next, please.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I've heard of her name,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27but I can't think what...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Oh...- Is it Miss Moneypenny?
0:12:30 > 0:12:31No, yeah...
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Next, please.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Lord Snot.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Lord Snot was...
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh, it's the...Scumbag College.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41So, who's next? BELL
0:12:45 > 0:12:46- Hello.- These are the...
0:12:46 > 0:12:48These are the members of the...
0:12:48 > 0:12:49What would be the fourth
0:12:49 > 0:12:51in this sequence?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Cuthbert?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- I'm afraid not. - SHE LAUGHS
0:12:54 > 0:12:55I'm afraid not.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56So, Draughtsmen,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58you have the chance of a bonus.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Desperate Dan...
0:13:02 > 0:13:03No! That's far too long.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05So, this is the Young Ones
0:13:05 > 0:13:06go on University Challenge
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and the Scumbag's team
0:13:08 > 0:13:09play the Footlights College team,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11and next along,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Hugh Laurie plays Lord Monty.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Draughtsmen, back to you
0:13:16 > 0:13:17for a choice.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Two reeds, please.- OK.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21What is the fourth in this sequence?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Here's the first.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Someone is buried there,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30but I can't think... Next.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Is that where...?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Next.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Ten seconds.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Murders. Is it Dickens?
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Three seconds.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02BELL
0:14:02 > 0:14:03- Eight...- Eight...
0:14:03 > 0:14:04The Hoax on the Thames.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07So, Scribes, you could come in
0:14:07 > 0:14:09for a bonus here.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Eight: Newgate prison.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Not it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15These are the last of the locations
0:14:15 > 0:14:16in A Rake's Progress,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18the Hogarth cartoons.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19And eight would be
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Bethlehem Hospital, known as Bedlam.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23All right, Scribes, it's your
0:14:23 > 0:14:25own question now. Which one?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Lion, please.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28What is the fourth in this sequence?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Here's the first.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Probably butane...
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Oh, yeah. OK. Next, please.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- So, that's...- But, no...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Let's go... Shall we go...?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Next, please.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I think you're on it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48What's the production of ethylene?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50You should know this, shouldn't you?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Ethane? Butane?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Is it going down to methane?
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Yes, methane's going to be...
0:14:55 > 0:14:57OK, so...what shall I say?
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Marsh gas, or something?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00No, methane, just say...
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Ten seconds.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02BELL
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Methane.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04I mean, have a look
0:15:04 > 0:15:06at the way the others are phrased...
0:15:06 > 0:15:07I know. Marsh gas?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Is that all right?- I'll take that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10These are places where
0:15:10 > 0:15:11you would find alkane gases,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13or where they'd be used,
0:15:13 > 0:15:14and they're getting simpler,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16so we're looking at butane, propane,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18ethane... Simplest would be methane.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Somewhere you'd find methane,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22and marsh gas will do.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Back to you, then, Draughtsmen.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25There are two questions left,
0:15:25 > 0:15:26so what's your final choice?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Twisted Flax, please.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30These are going to be picture clues.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31What would you expect to see
0:15:31 > 0:15:32in the last picture?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Here's the first.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Nuts.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39No, is that a tamarind seed?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Tamarind...yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Oh, gosh.- Is it monkeys? Apes?
0:15:46 > 0:15:47No. We don't know,
0:15:47 > 0:15:48it's got to be a sequence...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Yeah, I know, but...
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Next, please.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53That a tamarin monkey, isn't it?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55OK, we have a tamarind.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Tamarind. Tamarind, tamarin...
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Would that give us the Tamar?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- The River Tamar?- Tamar.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Yeah, go on then.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Shall we go for it?- Yeah. - BELL
0:16:04 > 0:16:06A picture of the River Tamer.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08That's exactly what comes fourth.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- And why is that?- The first one is
0:16:10 > 0:16:12tamarind, with a D on the end.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13The next is a tamarin monkey,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15without the D.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Presumably, the third is tamari...
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Tamari soy sauce,
0:16:19 > 0:16:20you didn't need to see it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22And Tamar, the river
0:16:22 > 0:16:24dividing Devon and Cornwall,
0:16:24 > 0:16:25and you take one letter off
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- each time.- Excellent.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Taking a letter of the end
0:16:28 > 0:16:29each time, you arrive at Tamar,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31and the River Tamar
0:16:31 > 0:16:32is exactly what we chose.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Thank you very much.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35One remaining question, Scribes,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37the Water question.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38That'll be for you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40First in the sequence coming up now.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45North North North East, presumably.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Next, please.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51North East East... OK, let's try and think outside the letters...
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Yeah... Next, please.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58THEY MURMUR
0:17:01 > 0:17:03East East South East...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Is it going to be the fourth
0:17:08 > 0:17:10on a very particular...?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Ten seconds.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Is it what you think?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Three seconds.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Try it, we'll try it. BELL
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- SSSW.- I'm afraid that's not correct,
0:17:23 > 0:17:24so there's a bonus chance
0:17:24 > 0:17:25for the Draughtsmen.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- No.- SSES.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Yeah, sort of. If we were playing
0:17:28 > 0:17:30the board game Mastermind, you'd get
0:17:30 > 0:17:32a couple of black pegs or white pegs
0:17:32 > 0:17:33for the right thing in the wrong place.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35They're pairs of compass points
0:17:35 > 0:17:36going clockwise.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37So, we're looking at...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39North and North North East,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41North East and East North East,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43East and East South East
0:17:43 > 0:17:44and next would be
0:17:44 > 0:17:46South East and South South East,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49represented by SESSE.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51We're going around the compass.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, close, but not quite right.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56That means, then, at the end of Round Two,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58the Draughtsmen are up to 6 points,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00but the Scribes are ahead with eight.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Pounding onwards through the final.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Oh, dear, we've crashed into a wall, a Connecting Wall to be precise,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and Scribes, you'll be going first this time.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Let me offer you a choice. Lion or Water?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Lion, please.- OK.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20You've got two and a half minutes to solve the Lion wall,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22starting...now.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Jack Ketch, Jack Frost. Jack Sprat...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Yeah, but also...boats.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Yawl and Ketch are...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36These are types of...salmon, something like that.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- They're the names for salmon... - Codling...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Oh, yes, no, it's just... - Baby fish.- Young fish.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- OK.- Levin?- I don't know if that is.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I'm going to leave that and then try...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52OK, so that's young fish.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Then we've got Jack.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57So, Snow and Frost are both TV presenters...
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Jack Snow and Jack Frost...
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Yawl and ketch are ships.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Brigantine, I think is. Is a Buss?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06No. Is a Levin?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07No.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Jack Sprat, Jack Frost, Jack Snow and Jack Ketch?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Levin? Is it Jack Levin?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Willie Rushton, perhaps.- Mormon.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19What would connect Mormon, here?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Do we know what Brigantine specifically is?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Some kind of parachute, or something...- OK.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32You are halfway through the time.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Buss was a painting as well.- OK. OK.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Let's... Shall I try and see if I can get these Jacks?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39What...?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Did you say there was a Jack Snow?
0:19:43 > 0:19:44- Not that I know of.- Oh, OK.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49OK. We need...snow.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50What connects snow...?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Have we got...?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52John Snow, perhaps.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Blunderbuss...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Is there anyone else apart from Willie Rushton?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I think I'm going to keep going on this,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01just in case I've missed something really stupid.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Bernard Levin?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Sort of writers.- Philosophers...
0:20:08 > 0:20:09These are...
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- That Was The Week That Was. - Oh, OK.- Frost...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15OK, I think you might be onto something there.
0:20:15 > 0:20:1730 seconds.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21OK. I'd better keep looking at these...
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Is Martin involved?- Yeah.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Maybe Frost is the... Oh, great.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Three lives now....
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Jack Frost, Jack Snow...- Jack Ketch?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- OK.- Jack Sprat. - I think we've tried that.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Two lives and ten seconds.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Yawl, Ketch, Brigantine...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I think I've tried this as well.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43One more life.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45OK, I'd better just quickly do something.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49No, that's it, your time is up and the wall's frozen.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So, two groups there. What about the connections?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Fry, Smolt, Alevin, Codling?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55The young of fish.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Young fish. Well done.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And the Green group? Levin, Martin, Rushton, Percival.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- That Was The Week That Was? - That's absolutely right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Bernard Levin, Millicent Martin,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Willie Rushton and Lance Percival,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08regulars on That Was The Week That Was.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You can still get points for the groups you didn't find,
0:21:11 > 0:21:12so let's fix the wall...
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Mormon, Ketch, Frost, Sprat.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Would they be preceded by Jack?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21They can. They are metaphorical Jacks.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23A lapsed Mormon is known as a Jack Mormon.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I think that the one you couldn't spot there.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29And the last one, Snow, Brigantine, Buss, Yawl...
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Based on yawl,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I think I'd better go for...they're kind of boats.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34- Do you want more?- I'll take it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- I'd like to hear more, it is the final.- Sailing boats?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Yeah, they're two-masted sailing boats, in fact,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42but they are boats, so I'll accept it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44So, you found two groups and four connections,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46that's six points.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Time to bring in their opponents to see what they can do
0:21:48 > 0:21:50with their own Connecting Wall.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Different clues must be solved in the same way.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Now, I'm afraid I have to say, Draughtsmen,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57like a stern barman, it's Water for you.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00You've got two and a half minutes to solve this wall,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02starting...now.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07American Graffiti...
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Black Bag job...- Tinribs...
0:22:10 > 0:22:11They're both robots.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Tinribs and Mr Logic. Both robots.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I can't see any more. Candelabra?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Eight Ace, Black Bag...?- Candelabra?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Burnistoun?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Burnistoun sounds Scottish...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Eight Ace is a Viz character, isn't it?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Right...- Mr Logic's a Viz character...- Right...
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- Tinribs, is that...?- Tinribs is a Viz character as well, yes.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38And, what else have we got?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Black Bag. Black Bag is. - Oh, well done.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44We got an exchange, I think, possibly.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Employment exchange, data exchange...- Hang on.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Consumer, opera... no. Coast...
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Agenda, Sportscene... Sportscene's a TV programme, isn't it? Yeah.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00River City sounds like it's a TV programme.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Candelabra could be a TV programme...
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Wasn't River City in the Music Man?- Was it?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Burnistoun, River City...
0:23:13 > 0:23:14We'll go for places, possibly?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Gold Coast...
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I'm just thinking American Graffiti...
0:23:18 > 0:23:20You're about halfway through the time.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Hidden agenda? Graffito, graffiti...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Something, data, graffiti, agenda...
0:23:27 > 0:23:28- Opera.- Opera...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Ah!
0:23:30 > 0:23:31- Candelabra.- Candelabria.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Candelabra, agenda, data...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Do...do graffiti.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Right.- Candelabra, data...
0:23:41 > 0:23:42No, it wouldn't be that simple.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- I think that's what you're going for though, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52What's Burnistoun? I was thinking...
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Agenda, graffiti, data...
0:23:56 > 0:23:58We've not got any hidden words in here, have we?
0:24:03 > 0:24:0530 seconds, now.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Leave that one out.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- River City?- On the coast...
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Consumer...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Consumer programme...- Landward?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- River City Blues, is that? - Ten seconds.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Graffiti blues, employment blues...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35And that's it, you're out of time, but you found a group.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I'll give you a point if you can tell me the connection.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Eight Ace, Mr Logic, Tinribs, Black Bag.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Characters in Viz comic.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44They are in Viz cartoon strips, that's right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46More points available for the connections,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48so let's resolve the wall.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51River City, Landward, Burnistoun, Sportscene.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Scottish TV programmes.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58That is absolutely it!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- TV programmes commissioned by BBC Scotland.- Oh, my word!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Sportscene was right!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- You plucked that out of the air. - We did.- Now, what about this one?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Coast, employment, data, consumer.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09They can all be followed by protection.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11That's right, Protection Acts.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14They all have Protection Acts after those names.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17And the last one, graffiti, opera, agenda, candelabra.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20ALL: They are all plural forms.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23They are all plural forms, but widely used in the singular.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I must tell you, you put data in that group every time,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28and it was never there.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29But you did find one group
0:25:29 > 0:25:32and you got four rather miraculous connection points,
0:25:32 > 0:25:33that's a total of five.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Let's see what that does to the scores
0:25:35 > 0:25:38as we go into the final round.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42The Draughtsmen have got 11 points, but the Scribes are ahead with 14.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46In a shocking piece of late breaking news,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48it turns out we've got a website.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49We had it all along,
0:25:49 > 0:25:50and you can play Connecting Walls
0:25:50 > 0:25:52on there. Marvellous.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55But we're going to play Round Four, the Missing Vowels Round,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00which I think will decide the champion of Only Connect.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02So, fingers on buzzers, teams.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Enunciate with care.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09The first group are all things that good children do.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Scribes?- Keep their elbows off the table.- Correct.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Scribes?- Say please and thank you.- Correct.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Draughtsmen?- Respect their elders. - Quite right.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Scribes?- Eat their greens.- Correct.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Next category, wooden objects and their traditional wood.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Scribes?- Electric chair and oak. - Correct.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Draughtsmen?- The temple and cedar. - I'm afraid you lose a point.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Scribes, do you know it?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Too long. Totem pole and cedar. Next clue.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Scribes?- Longbow and yew.- Correct.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Next category, three consecutive months.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Scribes?- December, January, February.- Correct.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Draughtsmen?- June, July, August. - I'm afraid you lose a point.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Scribes?
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Too long. It is Juin, Juillet, Aout. Next clue.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Don't know this one?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42From the French Revolutionary calendar,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Prairial, Messidor, Thermidor. Next clue.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51THEME MUSIC PLAYS
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Draughtsmen, you buzzed in, but too late.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59The as was, in Spanish, Marzo, Abril, Mayo.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01But the bell's gone off,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03which means it's the end of the quiz.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05And after a brilliant tournament performance,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09the Draughtsmen finish with 11 points.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13But the winners and new champions of Only Connect, with 20 points,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15it's the Scribes.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Very well done to you, absolutely brilliant quizzing.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Actually, all the teams. Really terrific.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23And what a great episode to become champions in,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25because, of course, it's our 100th show,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27and I want to say a sincere thank you
0:28:27 > 0:28:29to everyone here in Cardiff and elsewhere,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32including the viewers, for helping us get to our centenary,
0:28:32 > 0:28:36especially our brilliantly devious Question Editor, Mr Bodycombe,
0:28:36 > 0:28:37with his multiple fingers.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39And teams, to mark our 100th,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42we've got seven lovely glasses of sherry here.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44So I'm just going to give out the trophy,
0:28:44 > 0:28:47and then get on with drinking them. Goodbye.
