0:00:24 > 0:00:27Sometimes silence says more than words ever could.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31But that's rarely the case in broadcasting, so I'll press on.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33It's the quarterfinals.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Joining me are two teams who haven't met before in this competition,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38but you can be sure they've studied each other's form
0:00:38 > 0:00:41and considered each other's strengths and weaknesses.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44They may have had each other followed and been through each other's bins.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48They've probably acquired telephoto lenses and watched each other undress.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Immoral, illegal, but completely understandable because at stake
0:00:52 > 0:00:55is no less than a place in the Only Connect semifinals.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And indeed, nothing more.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03We're saying hello again to, on my right, Andy Tucker,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06a former diplomat who speaks fluent French, Russian and German
0:01:06 > 0:01:09and can order a beer in most European languages,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Steve Dodding, a dental surgeon who enjoys skiing and cycling
0:01:13 > 0:01:17and has had close to 100 letters published in national newspapers.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And their captain, Iwan Thomas, a chartered chemist
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and recently retired wicket keeper who enjoys playing the guitar.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28United by their love of a nice pint or three, they are the Draughtsmen.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31You beat the Joinees in a tie-breaker,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34which is you alone as captain, not all three of you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Did you secretly enjoy that, working alone?- No. It was stressful
0:01:38 > 0:01:42having a responsibility to other people's future
0:01:42 > 0:01:44in Only Connect lying on your shoulders.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Let's see if you'll have a close match tonight.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52You are playing, on my left, Hannah Twitchell, a postgrad student
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and former chair of her university science fiction society
0:01:55 > 0:01:57who enjoys confectionary making.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Dorian Lidell, a maths student at Bath University who enjoys
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Philip K Dick novels and dines out at a different restaurant each week.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09And their captain, James Wilson, a trainee analyst and programmer
0:02:09 > 0:02:12who is also an award winning Latin and ballroom dancer.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16United by their aptitude for numbers, they are the Numerists.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20James, you defeated the Trenchermen in your first heat. Tell me about that.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Well, they got off to a flyer with a five pointer on Miss World and fortunately we came back.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27We had a lucky AFC Wimbledon question
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and I've sold programmes at an AFC Wimbledon match.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32That came in handy.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35We were behind at the halfway stage, but we came through to win it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Let's see if you'll be winning this evening.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41One of you will be going through to the semifinals
0:02:41 > 0:02:46and we'll start deciding who that's going to be by playing Round One.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I want the connection between four apparently random clues.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Draughtsmen, you are going first.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Let's have your first Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- Eye of Horus, please.- OK, the first set of clues of the quarter-final
0:03:01 > 0:03:03is starting now.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Gypsy Moth IV.- Gypsy Moth IV.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- Gypsy Moth IV.- Go for another? Another, please.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Nicholas Breakspear.- The fourth. It's people who are fourth, yeah.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21The connection is fourths.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23That is absolutely right.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28Designated fourth, IV Roman numerals, Henry Bolingbroke,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28you would have had next, who is...
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Henry IV Part I and II. - And Star Wars: A New Hope.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Now, why is that number four?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37It was originally number one and became number four
0:03:37 > 0:03:38when they added the prequels.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Are you Star Wars fans over there?- Not particularly.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Never watched one. I should be on that programme.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- You've never seen any of the Star Wars films?- No.- No.- I have.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Interesting.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53I'm going to guess, Dorian, that you have seen the Star Wars films.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- No, that's completely wrong! - Really?!- Yes.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Sorry, that was just an assumption from your haircut
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and general scientific demeanour, that you must be a Star Wars fan.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I enjoy reading sci-fi.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08There will be people watching banging their heads on the floor.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Do you know how many Star Wars fans watch our show?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13And Doctor Who fans. This is...
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'd like to apologise on behalf of the BBC
0:04:16 > 0:04:18for the low viewing figures of Star Wars.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21We'll remedy that later. Back to my hotel room to watch them all.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Very well done, Draughtsmen.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Three points for coming in after two clues and Numerists,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- your turn to pick a question. - We'll have Lion, please.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Lion. These are going to be picture clues. What's the connection?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Here's the first.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Next.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45INDISTINCT WHISPERING
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Next.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- That's a two-spot ladybird, isn't it?- Ladybird.- Things with two spots?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56It's not one of the ones that's taking over England,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58even though it's non-native to it?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Oh, is that a...?- But I don't know the other two.- Next.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Yes.- Yes.- OK. - How do you want to say this?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- They're non-native species that are now dominating.- OK.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10BELL RINGS
0:05:10 > 0:05:14They're all non-native species that have now overtaken the original...
0:05:14 > 0:05:18They're now dominating their environment when they shouldn't be.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- In the UK.- That's about right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22They're invasive species brought to the UK,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25they've caused environmental damage.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Worst of those, the squirrel. These grey squirrels...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I try to feed the birds in my garden,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35whatever you put the food in, the squirrels have evolved so highly,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38they're out there with a knife and fork, just tucking in...
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Pliers they've got, for getting through the wire. I'm getting a gun.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Well done, Numerists. Draughtsmen, it's your turn to choose a question.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51- The Horned Viper, please.- The Horned Viper. What is the connection here?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Time starts now.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It's...castles... Um...
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- Is that the Swedish royal family's palace?- Could be.- Next, please.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Chateau de Rambouillet is...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09It's where the French royal family were
0:06:09 > 0:06:13and it's where the first of the G7 meetings were held.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- I think it could be royal residences.- Next, please.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Well, that's the Pope.- So we're saying...?- Summer residences.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Those are residences of heads of state
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- which they use during the summer. - They're summer residences.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35You didn't need to see Balmoral. Whose are those other residences?
0:06:35 > 0:06:41Chateau de Rambouillet was, I think, the French imperial family.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43The French president uses that.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Marienborg is perhaps the Swedish royal family?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Danish prime minister. But close.- No, not...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Castel Gandolfo is above Lake Albano, just outside Rome.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55That's where the Pope goes for his holidays.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59That is the Pope's summer residence. Balmoral for the Queen. Well done.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Draughtsmen, you're doing well. Numerists, it's now your turn to choose a question.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Twisted Flax, please.- Why not?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10What is the connection between these four clues? Here's the first.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- I have no idea.- Don't know.- Next.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- No idea.- Next.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Oh.- Men In Black.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28- So what's...? Shall we just go with it?- I think that's the best...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- It seems likely. - So what do I say?- It seems likely.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yeah, just... Right.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Men In Black?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39That is the answer. You need to say it with more conviction.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Even if you're wrong, I get tricked into thinking you're not.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Very good. Men In Black.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46What can you tell me about the people there?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Agent J and Agent K are the Men In Black from the film in question.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I'm guessing the papal liaison to Mussolini wore black. Um...
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Specifically a chap called Tacchi Venturi, was a papal liaison.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- And Valentine Dyall? You know who that is?- No.- No idea.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Do you know over there?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- SPOOKY VOICE:- He was the Man In Black on BBC radio in the 1950s.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08From Appointment With Fear.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Ooh, you brought him alive there, I'm shivering!
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- And you win the right to choose a question.- Two Reeds, please.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Two Reeds.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Music ahoy, you've got the sound question, you look delighted(!)
0:08:20 > 0:08:22First one coming in now.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25# Our day will come
0:08:25 > 0:08:29# And we'll have everything... #
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- KD Lang did a version of this.- Next.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36# I have never dreamed it, have you ever dreamed... #
0:08:36 > 0:08:39That's the Dutch girl. Um...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41What's her name?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Next.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49# Mama may have, Papa may have... #
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- And this is...- Ten seconds.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Next.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00# Song sung blue, everybody... #
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Two seconds.- Jewels.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- It's jewels.- That's it. It's gemstones.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm so happy, that was like listening to my own iPod there.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11What a beautiful selection of music! Who did you recognise?
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- There's Caro Emerald. - Second one, Caro Emerald.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- It was Neil Diamond at the end. - Neil Diamond at the end.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Pearl Bailey was the third and the first Ruby and the Romantics.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26So all had gemstones in the names of the performers. Well done.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30And there is a sole question remaining for you, Numerists.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34It's the Water question. First clue coming up now.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- I have no idea. Any ideas? - No, I don't know.- Next.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Oh.- Oh.- Um... - The Superbowl thing. OK.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45OK, next.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Any ideas? It's that... Do you want me to go next?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- We've got 20 seconds left. Hold on.- Hang on.- Um...
0:09:55 > 0:09:59I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Next. I don't know.- Next.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Ten seconds.- Is it...? Um...
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- Help? Shall I go with it? I have no idea.- I don't know.- Three seconds.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12BELL RINGS
0:10:12 > 0:10:14404.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- And why's that?- It's not...
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Something's not found on the internet, it's 404.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24It's not the answer, a possible bonus for the Draughtsmen.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Is it the first commercial activities of internet millionaires,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31with the last one being Zuckerberg and Facebook?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33You're so close, but I'm afraid
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I can't take that, but you're very close.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40They are things that inspired the founding of popular websites.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44That first one, email newsletter for San Francisco,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48that's what Craigslist was originally.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Wardrobe malfunction video not found, a chap was trying to find
0:10:52 > 0:10:56a video of the bit of the Superbowl where Janet Jackson had
0:10:56 > 0:11:00an awkward incident, couldn't find it, and decided to start YouTube.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04The broken laser pointer, that was a chap called Pierre Omidyar
0:11:04 > 0:11:07trying to sell such a thing and started the creation of eBay.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11And the last one, that was Mark Zuckerberg launching Facebook.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16That means at the end of Round One, the Numerists have got three points,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20but the Draughtsmen are ahead with six.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Onto Round Two then, the sequences. This time, the clues come in a row.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Teams, I want to know what is fourth in the sequence you're looking at.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Draughtsmen, which hieroglyph would you like?- Eye of Horus, please.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Eye of Horus. Your first in a sequence is coming up now.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Oh, it's... No, it's rugby.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Place kickers. It's either Dan Carter of Jonny Wilkinson.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- I think it's Jonny Wilkinson. First, Jonny Wilkinson?- Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52First, Jonny Wilkinson.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Coming in after just one clue, you get five points.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58First is Jonny Wilkinson.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Why?- They're the most points scored in international rugby union.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Place kickers in international rugby union.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- For New Zealand, Australia, Scotland and England.- Do you know?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13That's more information even than I've been told before the game
0:12:13 > 0:12:16when I shrieked at our question editor, "What does it mean?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19"How does rugby union differ from the other sorts of rugby?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22"How do you get points?" You may be right. I simply don't know.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26A brilliant answer and top of the tree, Jonny Wilkinson. Well done.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29All right, Numerists, time to roll your sleeves up.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- What would you like?- Two Reeds, please.- The Two Reeds.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36What would be the fourth in this sequence? They're picture clues,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40so what would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45THEY WHISPER Next.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Um... Sin...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- That's Tan.- That's Tan.- Next.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Any idea who that is?- No idea who that is. Do you know?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00We can't go next, it's a sequence.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04If it's a sequence, what sequence is "Tan" in?
0:13:05 > 0:13:06It's not like a...
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Votes, tan, person.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Five seconds.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- BELL RINGS - I've got a good feeling about this.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Cos.- Cos, you're going for?- Yep.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25That's not a picture. What would be in the picture?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26- A cos lettuce.- Yes.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27A lovely cos lettuce.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31But it isn't. So there's a possible bonus chance for the Draughtsmen.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- We're going to go for George Clooney.- And why would that be?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Because he's very handsome.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I need more.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It could be The Girl From Ipanema.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Because she's tall and tan and young and lovely,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46or young and handsome, depending on... We're not sexist over here.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I'm going to give you the point.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50The connection is - these are tall ships, that's tan,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52the brilliant Kirsty Young.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Tall, tan, young and lovely.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I was tempted to immediately accept George Clooney as something lovely,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00but I needed a little bit more of a gloss.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I feel ashamed actually about that, but nevermind.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05In my mind, it was Michael Portillo. It was that book The Lovely Bones.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07The Alice Sebold novel.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10But Clooney certainly acceptable as a lovely thing.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13So that's a bonus point to you, Draughtsmen.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15What about your own question?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16- Water, please.- Water.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19What's the fourth in the sequence? Time starts now.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Next.
0:14:27 > 0:14:282000, 2002...
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Something happening in 2006, or...
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Shall we go for the next one?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Next, please.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45That was last year, wasn't it?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Diamond Jubilee?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Days off, is it?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Ten seconds.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- BELL RINGS - Bank holidays.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56The Queen's...Diamond Jubilee.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Fourth in the sequence would be the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04And why is that? Because we all got a special bank holiday to celebrate.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07That's right. It's a series of special bank holidays.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Millennium, Queen's Golden Jubilee, William and Kate's wedding
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Last one. Well done.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16OK, Numerists, time to choose a question. Which will it be?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Horned Viper, please. - Horned Viper it will be for you.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27It could be lots of things. Next.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Oh, she won an Oscar, didn't she?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Next.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39It's not in order of age at which they've won an Oscar, is it?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Who is four, though? - Oldest Oscar winners?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I can't remember his name.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46THEY CONFER
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I don't remember his name.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Ten seconds.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- I don't know. Just try someone. Try someone old.- Three seconds.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59BELL RINGS
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Four, Helen Mirren.- And why?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06She's not young and she's won an Oscar.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08SHE MOUTHS
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Draughtsmen, there's a possible bonus.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13We think Katharine Hepburn.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Why do you think it's Katharine Hepburn?- Number of Oscar wins.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- And nominations.- Wins. - Wins and nominations.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22It doesn't matter, Katharine Hepburn is the correct answer.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23They are actresses who've won
0:16:23 > 0:16:26one, two, three and four Oscars for acting.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Meryl Streep, actually, one of hers was a Best Supporting Actress.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32All acting awards. And the only woman
0:16:32 > 0:16:36to have won four Oscars for acting is Katharine Hepburn.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Who is not young, but wonderful.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Possibly not even alive now.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43No, she died, about two or three years ago.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45That's about as un-young as you can be.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Draughtsmen, you get the bonus point.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- What would you like as a question? - Twisted Flax, please.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Twisted Flax. First in the sequence, coming up now.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57THEY CONFER
0:16:57 > 0:17:01First women... Women heads of state, or something.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- It's not Winter Olympics, is it? - No. Next.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Next.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Montenegro, 2006.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Serbia, 2006.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21BELL RINGS
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Serbia, 2006.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Is not the answer.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28So there's a possible bonus chance for the Numerists.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- We think it's South Sudan, 2011. - That is exactly what it is. And why?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34They're the most recent countries to join the UN.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35That is right.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Admission of the UN member states.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Next would be South Sudan, 2011. Very well done.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Bonus point to you and one last question - Lion.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Next.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Next.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Are they to do with steps in a programme,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- like the 12-step programme?- Next.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03No, the 12-step programme,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07like if you are recovering from addiction to something.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08No, but it's not, it's...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I thought it was conversion to...monastic life.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Perhaps Islam?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Go on, Dorian, what do you want to say?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Ten seconds.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Acceptance...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- No...- Dedicate yourself to... - BELL RINGS
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'm going to nominate Dorian for this one.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Is it dedicating yourself to God? - I'm afraid it's not.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31So there is a bonus chance for the Draughtsmen.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Erm... Reaching nirvana.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37No, that's not it. Do you recognise what this is?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I can't remember what it's called. There's a four-step programme.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44It's not the four-step programme that Tony Blair did?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I... I certainly don't think so.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It's not stages in converting to monastic life
0:18:48 > 0:18:50or being a nun or something?
0:18:50 > 0:18:54No! This is the 12-step programme of Bill W, Alcoholics Anonymous.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Step four: make a fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Step three: turn our lives over to God, as we understand him.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Step two: belief in a greater power.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Step one would be? Admit we were powerless over alcohol.
0:19:06 > 0:19:0712-step programme.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11At the end of round two then, the Numerists have got four points,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14but the Draughtsmen are ahead with 15.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Time for the connecting wall, that fiendish place
0:19:19 > 0:19:22where the number of connections are multiplied by four.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24You've seen it before, Numerists, you'll see it again,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27but I'm afraid they will be different clues from last time.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Would you like Lion or Water? - Lion, please.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35OK, the lion wall, two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39OK, let's see.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43There are some rabbits from Watership Down.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Oh, yeah, OK. Pipkin.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Clover is as well. Blackberry is as well.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Very good, OK.- Hang on, Marmite...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Are these not things that have different names in Australia?
0:19:55 > 0:19:56They have Vegemite there.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59So you think, what - Honey, Curry, Terrine and Marmite?
0:19:59 > 0:20:04No, I don't know. It's going to be... Olla?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I think they might be children's TV characters, but that's already gone.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- You think Pipkin could be?- Yes. How.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15How is... You know, Indian "how".
0:20:15 > 0:20:18You think Olla might be there as a greeting as well?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20But I can't see any others. Bod?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22No.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Different in Australia. What else have we got?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I don't think it will be that. I mean, Bod is...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Rainbow is another children's TV character.- It is, yes.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Was it How, or How 2?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34There was a show called How.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38What else could we possibly have?
0:20:38 > 0:20:46- No, OK. Honey. Honey is a girl's name.- Sweet tooth, sweet honey.
0:20:46 > 0:20:53Magpies. They steal shiny things? They're black and white.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Bod... Bod is a character in something as well.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- It isn't in the borrowers, is it? That's Pod.- No, that's Pod.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Any idea about Cocks? I have no idea.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09It sounds like all sort of things. It sounds like a cockswain
0:21:09 > 0:21:12or a type of apple.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Things that end in "wain" for example.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Curry.- I don't see anything else. What goes with Rainbow?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24What goes with Rainbow?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Rainbow... Over the rainbow? - Sweet tooth.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Sabre tooth...
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Pipkin sounds like a Dickens name to me.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36If you could think of anything with Dickens, Dickensian.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Running out of time.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I don't see any more obvious ones.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Ten seconds.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59And you're out of time and the grid has frozen.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02But you have found a group. I will give you a bonus point
0:22:02 > 0:22:06if you can tell me the connection. Blackberry, Fiver, Hazel, Clover.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- They're the rabbits from Watership Down.- Yes, they are.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11More bonus points available for the other connections,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13so let's resolve the wall.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15What about that second group?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Children's TV shows.- Yes, they are.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Children's TV shows from before your time, I suspect - the 1970s.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22All great shows. But that's right.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Next one, the purple group.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I honestly don't have a guess. Just try something.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- They have different names in Australia.- Oh, no, I don't think so.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Some of them aren't English words, they are French words -
0:22:34 > 0:22:36"Mar-meet", for example, not Marmite.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39They're cooking pots. Earthenware cooking pots.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43And what about that last group? Curry, Cocks, Honey, Tooth?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- They can be preceded by "sweet"?- No.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47But they can be followed by "comb".
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Currycomb, cockscomb, honeycomb, toothcomb.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54People used to say fine-toothed comb,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56but a toothcomb is actually a thing,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59currycomb for grooming horses.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01You did find one group and two connections. Three points.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Time to bring back the Draughtsmen,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05for another fiendish quarterfinal grid
0:23:05 > 0:23:07still needs solving in the same way.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Hello, Draughtsmen, you're going to get the Water wall.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Two and a half minutes, starting now.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Lavender's a herb, Borage is a herb,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Angelica's a herb.- Dill is a herb.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Savory as well and Rosemary - too many herbs.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Tower Hill, Ludgate Hill, Parliament Hill and Primrose Hill
0:23:27 > 0:23:28are hills in London.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Rosemary, Lavender.- Gort. - Gort is...- General.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Gort, Montgomery... Alexander and Ironside.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- No.- No.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Mariette is the one off Darling Buds Of May, isn't it?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Pop, yeah, Darling Buds Of May, it's going to be.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Rosemary, Pop, Mariette and Primrose.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Mariette.- No.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Mariette's got to be in that group. And Rosemary.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Rosemary could be out of that group. Take Primrose...
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- Mariette.- Lavender? - No, that wasn't one of them.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Mariette. General Gort, General...
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- General Ironside...- Angelica.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Gort. Ironside...
0:24:20 > 0:24:24We'll go for Gort, Ironside...
0:24:24 > 0:24:27It could be any of them.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Alexander.- Peter de Savory, isn't there?- We tried that combination.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33We tried Montgomery.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36We're not doing very well, chaps.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Right, let's go for the herbs and see if we can possibly...
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Borage.- Borage. Rosemary... We've tried that combination.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You've got a minute left.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Dill.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Borage has got to be a herb, Lavender could be something else.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Dill could be something else, Savory.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Angelica...
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Let's go for The Darling Buds Of May again.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Mariette.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Montgomery. Montgomery was the kid.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Pop and...- Primrose.- Primrose.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Three strikes now. And 30 seconds.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Ironside Gort, Alexander and...Dill?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Is Lavender Hill in London?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Yes, of course it is!
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Lavender Hill, Ludgate Hill and Tower Hill.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Well done. You swam around the red herrings at last.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Four points immediately. Let's look for the bonuses.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- What about the first group? - They're all herbs.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Herbs that you can using in cookery. - They're all herbs.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Mariette, Primrose, Montgomery, Pop.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40They're all characters in The Darling Buds Of May.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42They are the Larkins, from the series of novels by H E Bates,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44The Darling Buds Of May being one of them.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Lavender, Parliament, Tower, Ludgate?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- They're all hills in London. - And the last one?
0:25:50 > 0:25:55- Ironside, Dill, Gort, Alexander? - They're all fairly famous generals.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Have another go.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Field marshals?- I'll take it! I can't bear to see your pain.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02They're field marshals from World War II.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06If you'd said soldiers I probably would have taken it. Generals?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Field marshals from World War II.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10So, four points for the groups you've found,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14four points for the connections, two bonus points. A total of ten.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Let's see who's in the lead.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19The Numerists have 7 points,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23but the Draughtsmen are ahead with 25.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26On our website you'll find more connecting walls to play
0:26:26 > 0:26:28and you can write your own.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31But here in Cardiff it's Missing Vowel o'clock.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36So, fingers on buzzers, teams. What are the hidden phrases? Good luck.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41The first category are all fictional roads.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Draughtsmen.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Diagon Alley. - From Harry Potter, correct.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Numerists.- Wisteria Lane. - From Desperate Housewives. Correct.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Numerists.- Rosamund Street. - From Coronation Street, correct.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Numerists.- Greatest Road? - Not it, I'm afraid.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07You lose a point. Draughtsmen, do you know it?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Any idea?- Doesn't look like it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Great East Road from Tolkien's Middle Earth.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Next category - types of aircraft.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Draughtsmen.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Helicopter gunship.- Correct.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Numerists.- Biplane.- Correct.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Numerists.- Tiger.- Ooh! I'm going to have to give it to you.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32We were looking for autogiro.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Tiger is a brand name, but it is an aircraft. OK, you get the point.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Next clue.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Numerists?- Dirigible.- Correct.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Next category - words describing European citizens.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Numerists.- Austrian.- Correct.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Numerists.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Manxwoman.- Correct.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Numerists.- Monegasque.- Correct.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Draughtsmen.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Walloon.- Correct.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Next category - previous teams on Only Connect.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09END-OF-ROUND JINGLE
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Aw.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13That was the Archers Admirers there,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15but we'll never know who else would have returned,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18because that's the end of the quiz.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23And after a very creditable but slightly unlucky night,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26the Numerists have got 14 points, but the winners, with 28,
0:28:26 > 0:28:27are the Draughtsmen.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Very well done. You're through to the semifinals.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Numerists, thank you very much for coming,
0:28:33 > 0:28:34you've been a great team
0:28:34 > 0:28:36and I'm sorry you're not through to the semis,
0:28:36 > 0:28:38but you've done extremely well.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Please join me next time when I'll have more fiendish connections,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45two more teams, and a ratchet to "up the tension".
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Goodbye.
