0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello and welcome to Only Connect,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26the show that's unashamedly intelligent - which is not to say
0:00:26 > 0:00:28we're unashamed, but that's only of
0:00:28 > 0:00:30the standard of dancing at our end-of-series party.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33By the way, licence fee worriers, please take note -
0:00:33 > 0:00:35there is no end-of-series party.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38It's just me, dancing in a corridor,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40waiting for the next series to start.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44On which festive note, let's meet the teams.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46On my right, Steve Donnelly,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49a history graduate and former IT systems analyst who enjoys
0:00:49 > 0:00:51hill walking and European travel.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Gareth Williams, a retired IT consultant who is currently
0:00:55 > 0:00:58studying for a degree in photography with the Open College of Art.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And their captain, Bob Hughes, a leadership consultant and coach,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05who loves skiing, cooking and doing origami.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08United by their hearty appetites and passion for food,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10they are the Trenchermen.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13So, Bob, you work as a leadership consultant.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Do you think that gives you a natural advantage as a team captain?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I think I'll be able to bring out the best in the team, yes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Probably by trusting them. I think that's what a leader should do.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26If they don't trust his or her team, what chance do they have?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28So you're carrot, rather than stick?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, yeah, and if the stick doesn't work,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32you hit them with the carrot, I think.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Absolutely. I don't even bother with carrots. I'm all stick.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Your opponents tonight, on my left.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Hannah Twitchell, a maths graduate from Bath University,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44who's about to study for a PhD in medical statistics.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Dorian Lidell, a maths student who loves cryptic crosswords,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50retro video games and Japanese cinema.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And their captain, James Wilson,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55a trainee analyst and programmer with a degree in maths,
0:01:55 > 0:02:00who was once ranked 430th in British tennis due to a clerical error.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03They're all fans of knotty maths equations.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04They are the Numerists.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08You've probably got the maths covered. How about everything else?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Well, Dorian's our etymological expert.- Yep, that's me.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Hannah is our pop culture specialist
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and I... My specialism lies in geography.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Let me just check...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20None of those things are coming up. Never mind.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Congratulations, by the way, on your clerical tennis triumph.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Thank you.- Let's see how well you fare tonight...
0:02:25 > 0:02:26..by playing Round One.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I expect you've seen the programme on TV. If you haven't,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31shoddy research. I simply want to know,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35what's the connection between four apparently random clues?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38The fewer clues you see, the more points you get.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Trenchermen, you won the toss, so you will be going first.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Please choose a hieroglyph.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46The horned viper, please.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47The horned viper.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Ah, the music question immediately.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Normally, people's faces fall, but you never know.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Good luck. First clue coming up now.
0:02:55 > 0:03:03CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Next please.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06# Oh, no, sweet maid, I cannot marry thee
0:03:06 > 0:03:09# For I have no coat to put on
0:03:09 > 0:03:12# Then up she went to her grandfather's chest... #
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Next, please.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15# He'd seen the glory
0:03:15 > 0:03:17# He'd told the story
0:03:17 > 0:03:21# Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
0:03:21 > 0:03:23# But now he's sighing... # Next, please.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26# Stolen from Africa
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Ten seconds.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29# Brought to... # BELL
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Soldier.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34That is the connection. Well done.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36What did you hear?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38There was the Stolen From Africa...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Buffalo Soldier was the last one.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Scottish Soldier before that.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43If we'd known the first two,
0:03:43 > 0:03:44we'd have buzzed in.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46The first one was from A Soldier's Tale.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Stravinsky, that was. The second,
0:03:48 > 0:03:49O, Soldier, Soldier,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Ionian Singers and Timothy Salter.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Soldier is the connection.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Well done, you are off with a point,
0:03:56 > 0:03:57and it is now your turn, Numerists,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59to choose a hieroglyph.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'll have twisted flax, please.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03First clue coming up now.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07No idea?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Next.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11These aren't things done for good luck, are they?
0:04:11 > 0:04:12I don't think so.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Next.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Are they noises used by Foley artists...?- Oh, yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I'm going to buzz and nominate you, if that's all right?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26But I don't know if it is for a particular...
0:04:26 > 0:04:28THEY WHISPER
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Next.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I'm going to buzz and nominate you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- OK, yeah, that's fine.- Ten seconds. - BELL
0:04:35 > 0:04:36I'm going to nominate Hannah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Things that Foley artists use
0:04:38 > 0:04:41to create sounds for television programmes.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42That is precisely what it is.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Foley artists' sound effects.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Very well buzzed in, Numerists.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48You get a point as well,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51and we're back to the Trenchermen to choose a question.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Two reeds, please.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Your first clue coming up now.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01They were stripped of their title.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Shall we go with that?- Go for it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05BELL
0:05:05 > 0:05:08They were stripped of their title.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Goodness me!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Haven't had one of those in a while.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Very well done.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Coming in after just one clue,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17you get five points.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20They are people disqualified from something they'd won.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21What can you tell me about them?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Miss World 1973 was Angie somebody,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26who was an American,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29and I forget her second name...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Juventus were the Serie A champions
0:05:31 > 0:05:34disqualified because of the corruption scandal
0:05:34 > 0:05:35in Italian football.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Phil Woolas was the MP
0:05:39 > 0:05:41who did his expenses.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42And the marathon winner
0:05:42 > 0:05:44in the 1908 Olympics,
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I believe hitched a lift
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- for part of the course.- He cheated.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Pietri had help from race officials.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52The first one, Marjorie Wallace,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54her name was, Miss World 1973.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Do you know what she was sacked for?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Had she been married, or something?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02No, for dating too many celebrities.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I would never date a celebrity.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Inappropriate behaviour, I think.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08In her case, Tom Jones
0:06:08 > 0:06:09and George Best were included.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11That was thought not proper.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Very well done to you, Trenchermen.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Excellent flashing answer, there.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Numerists, your turn to pick a question.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Lion, please.- Lion. OK.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21These are going to be picture clues.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23First one coming up now.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Is it a Fennec Fox?
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Next.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I have no idea about that. Do you?
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I don't know what that is.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Next.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Who's that?- What was the first one?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I think it's a Fennec Fox.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Do they all begin with a double F?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Yeah, that must be it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Shall we go with that?- Yeah, go. - BELL
0:06:46 > 0:06:49They all begin with a double F.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Or have F-F in them.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53I'm afraid that's not the answer.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'm going to show the fourth clue
0:06:55 > 0:06:57for a possible bonus.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Llama so...- Double letters.- Yeah.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01They all start with double letters.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04That's it. It's double letters.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06A range of double letters.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Aardwolf, Ooglies and a llama.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Just Ffion Hague that's double F.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12In Welsh, and it's a Welsh name,
0:07:12 > 0:07:13that's just one letter.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14So you were close,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16but it's a bonus point to the Trenchermen.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Please choose your own question. - Eye of Horus, please.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22OK. Your time starts now.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- Next.- Say it louder.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Next, please.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33The Once And Future King...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Was it James?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Or King Arthur.- Shall we go next?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Next, please.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Speak up. You have to speak up.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Divided.- Ah, OK. Yeah?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Shall we go with that?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- In two parts.- Two halves.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50BELL
0:07:50 > 0:07:52These are things that are divided
0:07:52 > 0:07:54into two parts.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I'm afraid not. So, I'll show
0:07:56 > 0:07:58the last clue to the Numerists.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Your chance for a possible bonus.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Divided into four parts.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03They are divided into four parts.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I must say, if you could all combine
0:08:05 > 0:08:06to make a six-part team,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08you would be brilliant.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Four chambers in the human heart.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11The Once And Future King,
0:08:11 > 0:08:12a four-part novel by T H White.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Post-war Berlin, divided in four.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15And this question, like all
0:08:15 > 0:08:17questions on Only Connect,
0:08:17 > 0:08:18divided into four parts.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20So, the bonus goes to you this time.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23And it is your turn - not so much to choose a question,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25because it is going to be water -
0:08:25 > 0:08:27but to see if you can give the answer.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29First clue coming up now.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- It's a fractal.- Fractals.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Should we just go for it?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36THEY WHISPER
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Should we go with fractal?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- I think we should say next.- OK.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Next.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45OK, we should have...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49What's the property of the Sierpinski Triangle?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Next.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Oh, they all contain smaller versions of themselves.- That's it.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57- OK. All right?- Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Ten seconds. - BELL
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Nominate Dorian on this one.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Do they all contain
0:09:01 > 0:09:03smaller versions of themselves?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Like Matryoshka dolls are small ones inside large ones.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07That is correct,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08but I'd be really happy,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10given you're a mathematical team,
0:09:10 > 0:09:11if you could give me
0:09:11 > 0:09:12a better word to describe that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Oh... Well, fractal.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Well, the first one would be about fractals.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18It's recursion, when they contain
0:09:18 > 0:09:20smaller parts within themselves.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Last one would have been Inception,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24the film with dreams within dreams.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Sierpinski triangle,
0:09:25 > 0:09:26that's the fractals.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Atwood's novel The Blind Assassin has in it
0:09:28 > 0:09:30a novel called The Blind Assassin
0:09:30 > 0:09:31which has within it
0:09:31 > 0:09:33a novel called The Blind Assassin,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35and matryoshka is the Russian dolls.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Very well done.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41So, at the end of Round One, the Numerists have got four points,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43but the Trenchermen are ahead with seven.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Round Two is sequences.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50There are still four clues, but they come in a sequence.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Teams, I want to know, what is the fourth?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55So, you may only see up to three clues before giving me the answer.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Trenchermen, you'll be going first again.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Which hieroglyph would you like?
0:09:59 > 0:10:00We'd like the lion, please.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02That can certainly be arranged.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03What would be the fourth
0:10:03 > 0:10:04in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09THEY WHISPER
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Next, please.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- They're islands.- Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Where?- Japan?
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Shall we go for next?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- I think that if it's Japan, then the answer is Honshu.- Let's go for that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25BELL
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Honshu.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I'm afraid that's not the answer.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29So, I will show the third
0:10:29 > 0:10:30in the sequence to the Numerists.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Can you tell me what comes fourth?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Hawaii.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Yes, the Big Island.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I don't know what to call it.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42But one or the other.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43The answer is Hawaii,
0:10:43 > 0:10:44also known as the Big Island.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47They are the islands of Hawaii, getting bigger,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and Hawaii would be the big one.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Very well done for the bonus.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52You may now choose your question.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Eye of Horus, please.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55What would be the fourth
0:10:55 > 0:10:57in this sequence?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Time starts now.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03No idea. Next.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's football, definitely. Next, please.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Are they teams played in...
0:11:14 > 0:11:15I think, I would guess...
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Is that what it's called? What's the name of the...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20No, it's different, it's not that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25I think 2011-12 League Two.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Football League Two.- OK, go for it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- I don't know. - BELL
0:11:29 > 0:11:322011-12 Football League Two?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Absolutely brilliant.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35We didn't put to 12, just 11
0:11:35 > 0:11:36because you never know,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38this might be shown over and over.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41But I will accept your answer.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Very good. Why?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'm not sure I've got this right.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I think it's the leagues AFC Wimbledon were in
0:11:48 > 0:11:50but it might be something completely different.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51That is absolutely brilliant.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I said to our question meister,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56nobody will know it's AFC Wimbledon,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57certainly not the sort of person
0:11:57 > 0:12:00that comes on our quiz!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02You just need to say it's a sort of series of divisions.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05But they form different shapes, and
0:12:05 > 0:12:08this is the rise of AFC Wimbledon.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Absolutely brilliant.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11I'm impressed by that.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Trenchermen, game on. What would you like?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Water, please.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17You may have that.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19What would be the fourth
0:12:19 > 0:12:20in this sequence?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Time starts now.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25THEY WHISPER
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Number of elements...
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Next, please.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Are they tarot cards?- Tarot cards?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34What is 13, then?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Shall we go for the next one?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Are we going to know it?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40If it is tarot cards, are we going to know any different?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- So what would we guess?- Death?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Could be. Good point. Shall we guess?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Quick, team. Come on.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Shall we go for the next?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Will it help us?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Are we going to guess or not?- Guess?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Ten seconds.- Go for it.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55BELL
0:12:55 > 0:12:5713: Death.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00That is the answer.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Dramatic chord. Why?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04They are tarot cards.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05That's absolutely right,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07and unlucky number 13 is death.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09That's the one they turn over,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11their face goes ashen and they say,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13"It could be good news."
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- And it never is.- It never is.
0:13:16 > 0:13:1713 is death in the tarot. Well done.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Back to you, Numerists.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Two reeds, please.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24What would be the fourth
0:13:24 > 0:13:25in this sequence?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Time starts now.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Next.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I know this. It's Jane Austen, the daughters going upwards.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38So I think we had Elizabeth Bennet and then Jane Bennet is the oldest.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39OK, go for it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41BELL
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Jane.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44The answer is Jane.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45As I heard you mutter,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47they are the Bennet sisters in
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Pride and Prejudice getting older.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Which sisters are missed out?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Lydia is the youngest.- She is.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Are you a fan of the novel?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I quite like that novel, actually.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- How many times have you read it? - Once.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01But I've listened to the abridged
0:14:01 > 0:14:04audio book countless times.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05But that one, the audio version,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07you're neither reading the book nor
0:14:07 > 0:14:08seeing Colin Firth emerge
0:14:08 > 0:14:09dripping from a lake.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11That doesn't really bother me.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- Really?!- Really.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13That was the highlight.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Jane Austen would have been
0:14:15 > 0:14:17so pleased to know that would happen
0:14:17 > 0:14:18just a few short years later.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Very well done.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Back to you, Trenchermen. What would you like?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24We'd like twisted flax, please.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25These will be picture clues.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27What would you expect to see
0:14:27 > 0:14:28in the fourth picture?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Here's the first.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- It's a football.- That's a handball.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Next.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- That's like a basketball. - What is it?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Basketball, is it? Or is it a...?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45We'll have to do next.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Next.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49That's a basketball.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Put balls in order of size.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- It must be a football.- Go with that?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Go for it. - BELL
0:14:55 > 0:14:57And it's Association Football.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It'll be an Association football.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Why?
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Increasing size of balls
0:15:02 > 0:15:04in competitive games.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I'm afraid that is not a sequence
0:15:06 > 0:15:08because an awful lot would be missed out in between
0:15:08 > 0:15:12the clues you're looking at, so I'm going to the Numerists
0:15:12 > 0:15:14for a possible bonus.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15- I...- Just say something.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17We'll go with...
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Too long, I'm afraid.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Now, we put a picture of a polo ball,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22but I would have taken
0:15:22 > 0:15:24a ball from any sport which is played four-a-side.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27We're looking at handball, seven-a-side game,
0:15:27 > 0:15:28volleyball, six-a-side,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30basketball, five-a-side. Any four-a-side game.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I asked you why because for all I know,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35association football is a four-a-side game. Is it?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- I have no idea.- Is it?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Unfortunately, it isn't.- It isn't.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Then I can't give you a belated point.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42No points for anyone there.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45But one remaining question, which is going to you, Numerists.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48The horned viper. What's the fourth in this sequence? Time starts now.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Positions or something? Next.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Still don't know. Next again? Next.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Apron?- Is it a wordy one?- These must be positions in a certain sport.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08We've already had a sport one.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10But I'm not familiar with the word apron in...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Is it to do with positions on the stage, perhaps?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Like...front, for example? Cos, yeah, they use that.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19So I'm going to go with front, or...
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Ten seconds.- Yeah, OK, that's a good idea. OK, go for that.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Front.- Not the answer, I'm afraid, so Trenchermen,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28there's a bonus chance for you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Erm, the orchestra pit.- Yes, it is.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34The orchestra or the orchestra pit.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I heard you mutter, "Is it a rugby question?" Thank the Lord, no.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39We've moved off sport and into the theatre.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Parts of a theatre moving towards the audience,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44last would be orchestra pit. Very well done.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46At the end of Round Two, then,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49the Numerists are up to ten points,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52but the Trenchermen are just ahead with 11.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Time to play the Connecting Wall, 16 clues which may and must
0:16:57 > 0:16:59be sorted into four connected groups of four.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01The teams don't have to do that alone.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, they do have to do it alone, but you can also do that at home
0:17:04 > 0:17:07if you look at our website, where the Connecting Walls will appear.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Numerists, it's your turn to go first. And you have a choice.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Lion or water?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Water, please.- Water.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20OK, you have two and a half minutes to solve this. Time starts now.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Winter Olympics, Winter Olympics. - Profumo scandal.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I don't know, Lillehammer was...OK.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Do the Winter Olympics. - Is there another one?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Er, Chamonix, so there's five. I'll do them and you can talk.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39OK, so there's Profumo Scandal. Any more scandals here?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- He was a politician.- Oh, hang on, there's some theatres there.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Alec Guinness...
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Yeah, there we go. - Three strikes and you're out, now.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That's in alphabetical order. Any others that...what could XYZ be?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- What could Lillehammer...? - It's a town, is it in Finland?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Norway.- Rick Wakeley.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Mike Oldfield is another person. - Mike Guinness is a Mike.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01OK. Iran-Contra?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02I don't know what that is.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Is that a scandal, perhaps?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06It looks like it could be.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I'm not going to press things.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09XYZ seems to be a strange thing
0:18:09 > 0:18:11if it weren't a scandal.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Do you think there's a scandal that would be...?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Lillehammer, I think, was something to do with ambush marketing.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I think the others might be Mikes.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Are they musician Mikes?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I've never heard of Boateng.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24There's a footballer called Boateng.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Rick Wakeley is the only Wakeley I know.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Is there really a Mike Guinness?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29There's an Alec Guinness.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31There's Alec Guinness, there's Rick Wakeley...
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Shall we try...?- Well, no, there's no point trying it yet.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Musicians.- Halfway through the time. - So, we don't know Boateng at all.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- What's Profumo?- We think they're scandals.- He's a politician.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I think Lillehammer is the final scandal.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- We don't know the... - We don't know the other one.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Unless they're members of...
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Rick Wakeley, Mike Oldfield...
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Those two are both,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52like, old singers.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- You know, musicians.- But they don't do anything remotely similar.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Rick Wakeley's a rock musician and Mike Oldfield's new age.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Boateng's a politician, I think.- OK.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I want to try it so that we've got some time if we get it wrong.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04- OK, just try it.- Try it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- Oh.- That's it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09You've solved the wall. That's four points for the groups you found
0:19:09 > 0:19:11and there are bonus points, of course, for the connections.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13So, let's go through them.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Hosts of the Winter Olympics.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19That's it, Winter Olympics host cities.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22What about the next one?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26They're all theatres in London, I think.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28They're all big theatres in London.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Quite right. Now, what about this?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36We believe they're scandals.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's not exactly what I want to hear.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I might give it to you, but it's not exactly what I want to hear.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Have you heard of any of them?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I've heard of Profumo.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I think Lillehammer has to do with ambush marketing. That's all I know.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52They are generally known as affairs. I'm going to take scandals.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55The Profumo affair, that was, do you know?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- I only know the name, I'm afraid. - John Profumo,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00the government minister, tangled up with vice girls and so on.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02That was a scandal.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Iran-Contra. You've literally never heard of it?- It rings a bell.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- I don't know. - You make me feel so old.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13That was to do with the selling of missiles by America to Iran.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15XYZ?
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Again, no idea.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19This is not to do with age, cos this is something from the 18th century.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22And even I am not so old to remember that.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24But that was a skirmish between America and France
0:20:24 > 0:20:26to do with bribery in 1798.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29And Lillehammer?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I know at the Winter Olympics there was an ambush marketing...
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Nothing to do with that.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35It was Mossad killing a Moroccan waiter.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37But I'm going to take scandals
0:20:37 > 0:20:41because they basically are scandals, but they're known as affairs.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43And what about this last group?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Musicians?- It's too general. - You said famous Mikes.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Do you want to go with that? - Famous Mikes.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Tell me about Mike Guinness.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I have heard of him.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- We don't know.- They must exist.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I'm expecting to hear from them on Twitter any minute now.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05But, no, they are British fashion designers.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Ozwald Boateng, Lulu Guinness, Bruce Oldfield and Amanda Wakeley.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11They are fashion designers.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Not our bag, I'm afraid.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15But you did find four groups and you got three points
0:21:15 > 0:21:17for the connections. That is a total of seven.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Time to bring back the Trenchermen
0:21:19 > 0:21:21to see how they do with the connecting wall.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Different wall, different clues
0:21:22 > 0:21:25but must be solved along the same-principled lines.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Trenchermen, you're going to have the Lion Wall.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31You've got two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35OK. House of Fun is a song.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Madness song.- So what else is there?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Michael Caine.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Shut up.- Michael Caine.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46OK, what else is going on here?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50- Lovestruck.- OK.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Advance fee. Insurance. Brokers?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Fairground rides.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Waltzer, Carousel.- Teacups.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04BUZZ
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- BUZZ - Leave teacups out.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Carousel, Pirate ship.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15BUZZ Leave Waltzer out.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18BUZZ
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Is there a Vajazzle?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Have you heard of Vajazzle?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Is there...?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26You take over, Jack.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Keep looking.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Jel. Reem. Are these words?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35That could be word things
0:22:35 > 0:22:37couldn't they?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Reem just screams of being
0:22:38 > 0:22:40a word clue, doesn't it?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Double E. Reem. Meer backwards.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Is there anything with H in it?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50You're halfway through the time.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Waltzer has to be one of them.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Carousel.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Not Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Hair.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Something insurance.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Shipping insurance, life insurance.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05What about D-Reem, is that...?
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Anything you can put a D
0:23:06 > 0:23:08at the beginning of?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09That was a group.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Anything else a D would fit in?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13A letter before it?
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Yeah.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52if you just send a little bit in advance.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17And the last one.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Shall we go with the letter in front? Anything else?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38that these are all examples of slang

0:25:45 > 0:25:47I've gone up in my own estimation.
