0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello and welcome to Only Connect
0:00:23 > 0:00:26and I'd like to say right now that everyone here is a winner.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I'd like to say it right now
0:00:28 > 0:00:30because in half an hour, three of them will be losers.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Both the teams tonight have already won one heat.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36If they win this, they'll go straight through to the semi-final.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39If they lose, they'll go on to play another team that have also lost.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Two losers. Two teams of losers.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Six losers.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I look forward to putting a positive spin on that one.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51For now, though, congratulations and hello again to, on my right,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Ian Clark, a Cambridge law graduate who can order a beer
0:00:54 > 0:00:57in every major European language.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Sam Goodyear, a former sports odds compiler,
0:01:00 > 0:01:05who once had to translate 3,000 horse racing terms into French.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And their captain, Mark Walton, a geography graduate and sales manager
0:01:09 > 0:01:12who captained a pool team that won the All London Cup.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14United by their passion for all things French,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17they are the Francophiles.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20So, Mark, you beat the Festival Fans in your first game.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22How have you prepared for the next one?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Well, living up to our name as the Francophiles,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29we went out for a French meal last night and tested each other out
0:01:29 > 0:01:33by trying to ask some Only Connect style questions to each other.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36To the nearest four, how many horses do you think you've eaten?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Probably only about half of one last night, I think, wasn't it?- Maybe.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Wittingly, anyway.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47I'm also a fan of French food, but also a fan of really cheap
0:01:47 > 0:01:50microwave meals, so probably slightly more than the others.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53That's very nearly a herd, isn't it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57You will be facing tonight, on my left, Jim Taylor,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00a solutions engineer who plays trombone
0:02:00 > 0:02:03in a family four-part harmony group.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Craig Almond, a law graduate who is currently walking his way through
0:02:07 > 0:02:10the 214 Wainwright peaks in the Lake District.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13And their captain, Mike Amberry,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15a civil servant and keen morris dancer
0:02:15 > 0:02:18who was dropped on his head at his christening.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Fond of rambling in the hills of the north, they are the Fell Walkers.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Mike, you beat the General Practitioners in your first heat.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Any new tactics for this game?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30We think we're just going to go with exactly the same,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32although if that fails, we'll probably go for blind terror
0:02:32 > 0:02:34and wild guessing to get us through.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36You can't go wrong with a bit of wild guessing.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Let's see what you will be guessing at this evening.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42The toss was won by the Francophiles,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45you'll be going first. You remember, I expect, round one.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Four apparently random clues. What's the connection between them?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Buzz in early and you'll get more points,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53unless, of course, you buzz in with the wrong answer.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- The first thing you need to do is choose a hieroglyph.- Twisted Flax.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Let's see what the Twisted Flax holds for you.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Drinker respirator? - What is a drinker respirator?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Shall we have the next one? Next.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12A Ted Hughes protagonist.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- The- Iron Man? Things called the iron man, the superhero or something?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Shall we go next? - Is it iron...? Next!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Iron curtain.- That's right. - BELL
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Iron.- That is absolutely the answer. Why is it the answer?
0:03:29 > 0:03:35Well, the Iron Curtain separated NATO and the Warsaw Pact
0:03:35 > 0:03:37and the Ted Hughes protagonist is The Iron Man.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Otto von Bismarck is the Iron Chancellor.- That's right.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- And I don't know what a drinker respirator is.- An iron lung?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- It is an iron lung!- Oh!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48It was invented by the Drinkers, Cecil and Philip Drinker
0:03:48 > 0:03:51invented the iron lung, so that's the reason for that.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Well done. Coming in after three clues, you get two points.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Fell Walkers, what would you like? - Eye of Horus, please.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Why have you chosen the Eye of Horus?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01It was looking at me in a funny way.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05It does that! It does that. Let's see what it was winking about.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Something to do with...
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Is that Michael Crawford?- Maybe. Do you want to go for the next one?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Next, please.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- Are they sitcom catchphrases? - Could be.- I don't know.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Do you want one more?- Yeah, we need another one.- Next, please.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35That's all we've got, isn't it?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Oh, are they translations of foreign titles of British sitcoms?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- That's a good answer, let's go for that.- Are you sure?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- It's a wild guess.- No, let's do that. - BELL
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- Foreign translations of UK sitcom titles.- I agree with you, Mike.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50It is a good answer.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53It's not the right answer, but it's a very good answer.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55What's the right answer?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57There's a chance for a bonus for you, Francophiles.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Let's have a look at the last clue. What do you think it is?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02THEY WHISPER
0:05:02 > 0:05:05They are transliterations of bird calls.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Transliterations of bird calls? - That is just what they are.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12That is the last one, it's a little bit of a giveaway.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16A little bit of bread and no cheese. Do you know what birds?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- I don't know.- I have no idea.- Tit?
0:05:19 > 0:05:20I beg your pardon?!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23There's no need for that language. If you don't know, you don't know.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28"My toe bleeds, Betty. My TOE bleeds, Betty."
0:05:28 > 0:05:30A wood pigeon, of course! It was uncanny, wasn't it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I transformed into one. Great tit, "Teacher! Teacher!"
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Barred owl, apparently, "Who cooks for you?"
0:05:36 > 0:05:39"A little bit of bread and no cheese," that's a famous one.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Do you know what bird that's meant to be?- Is it a robin?- Yellowhammer.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Close, though.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47So you get the bonus, Francophiles, and the chance to choose a question.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Horned Viper. - Why not? Why not indeed?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Two countries that probably share... - Next.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Their flags are the same, aren't they?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Ireland and the Ivory Coast, the flags are the same.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Do you want to get another one?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Do you want to go for it? If you're confident...- They are the same.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- OK, go for it. - BELL
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- They share the same flags. - Have another go.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Their flags are the same...
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Same colours, but reversed?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I'm going to take it because you are so very close to what it is.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32They do share flags, but you have to rotate them, that's what it is.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34They are the same image and the same colours,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37but you rotate one to get the other, so I will accept it
0:06:37 > 0:06:41and coming in after two clues, you get three points. Well done.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Back to you, Fell Walkers. - Two Reeds, please.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48These are going to be picture clues. What do they have in common?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Here's the first.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Battersea Power Station. Pink Floyd? - Should we go next?- Next, please.
0:06:58 > 0:07:05- Pink Floyd albums.- Do you think so? - I don't know.- Do you know what...?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I have no idea what the handshake signifies.- Next, please.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Pink Floyd albums, yeah. - BELL
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Pink Floyd albums.- That is certainly the connection, I'll give it to you.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- What precisely, though...? - Album covers?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Yeah, they are versions of images that appear on those covers.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27You will see versions of Battersea Power Station, a handshake, a wall,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29and a prism. Do you know which albums?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Obviously wall is The Wall. - Animals?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Is Battersea Power Station, that's right.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Dark Side Of The Moon, bottom right. - That's the prism.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Is it Wish You Were Here? - It is Wish You Were Here.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Good Pink Floyd knowledge. - Thank you.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Back to you, Francophiles, to pick a question.- Lion, please.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Music question, of course. And with delight you greet it!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58# Close Madame's room We've parted... #
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Next.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04# Winding down that old familiar path... #
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It sounds like Bing Crosby.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08It's not Bing Crosby, it's Perry Como or something.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- It sounds like... - What is the song? Next.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14# Here's to the girls who play wife
0:08:14 > 0:08:17# Aren't they too much... #
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Doris Day or something? - I don't know. Next.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24# You say the world has come between us... #
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Do you know who that is?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Sounds like Bob Dylan. What are we going to say?- Springsteen?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Three seconds. - BELL
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Countries in a title.- For example?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Er, America.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Yes, none of them has a country in the title,
0:08:43 > 0:08:44so I'm afraid that's not it.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Fell Walkers, do you want to have a go for a bonus?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Are they named after movies?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50That's not it either.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53We heard Dinner For One Please, James,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Suppertime, The Ladies Who Lunch and Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58They are meal times.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I was interested to note, Francophiles,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04you thought the second one sounded like Bing Crosby.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I think that was me who said that, yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Yeah, that was Johnny Cash. - Oh, was it? Oh!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11No points there, but there is one remaining question.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14That's for you, Fell Walkers. It's the Water question.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17What's the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Associated Press, they're owned...
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Sort of like Daily Mail and things, so...- Next.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29It's a drink, isn't it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33It's cranberry juice, but...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- No idea. I can't see any connection. - Next, please.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- It's a socialist newspaper.- Yeah...
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Again, I'm struggling.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- There's a newspaper link between one and three, but...- Next.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Oh, they are cooperatives?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Three seconds. - BELL
0:09:56 > 0:09:58They are all cooperatives.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00They are cooperatives, companies where the owners
0:10:00 > 0:10:03and the workers are the same. Well done.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- John Lewis the giveaway there, I think.- Yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08At the end of round one, the Fell Walkers have got
0:10:08 > 0:10:12three points, but the Francophiles are ahead with six.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Round two, the sequences round.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19There are still four clues, but only three of them will be shown,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22at the most, because my question is, what comes fourth?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Francophiles, you'll be going first again.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Which hieroglyph would you like? - Eye of Horus.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33Interesting choice. What would come fourth in this sequence?
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Here's the first.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39£1050. Erm... £1050.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Not two monkeys and two ponies or something?- Next.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- That's an oak, so... - Quercus genus specimens is an oak.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Probably go next.- Next.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57That's a derby. Oh, it's the...
0:10:57 > 0:10:58So what's...? St Leger?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- That's the 1,000 Guineas, so it's the St Leger.- St Leger, yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03BELL St Leger.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Is the answer and I'll accept it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Can you think of another way of expressing that?
0:11:07 > 0:11:12- A one-mile, six-furlong classic at Doncaster.- That sort of thing!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14We went for a traditional day to buy shares.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17You know the expression, it's something like...
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Buy on St Leger's Day, yeah.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Buy and go away in May, come back on St Leger's Day.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Might be sell and go away in May,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26but that's a good day to buy shares, apparently.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- 1,050, that's 1,000 Guineas. Quercus genus specimens, what's that?- Oaks.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- That the Oaks and bowler hat in America?- Derby.- The Derby.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38And the next big horse race chronologically, the St Leger.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Well done. Over to you then, Fell Walkers.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- What would you like?- Horned Viper, please.- The Horned Viper.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46What would be the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Next, please.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56That's Rihanna and Billy Joel.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- OK.- Next, I guess.- Next, please.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Number ones. Christmas number ones.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Are we going on Christmas number ones on certain songs...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Are those the ones that have sold the most?- What's the next one?
0:12:08 > 0:12:14They are nowhere near consecutive, so what sold the most at Christmas...
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- I don't know.- What is the biggest ever Christmas number one?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20What was that one the other year?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Give me a Christmas number one. - Three seconds.- We Are The World.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- BELL - Four, We Are The World.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Not the answer, I'm afraid. A bonus chance for the Francophiles.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Is it four, Can You Build It, Bob The Builder?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- And why would that be the answer? - I don't know,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41we're just thinking of songs that were number one about ten years ago.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43And that's how we do things, really.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Stuff that happened around sort of then.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49That's not it and they are not all Christmas number ones either.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52What the number relates to is the number of times that it was
0:12:52 > 0:12:55number one, so Umbrella was number one once,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Uptown Girl twice, Do They Know It's Christmas? third
0:12:59 > 0:13:01and something that was number one four times,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Unchained Melody we went for.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04OK, no points there,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06but Francophiles, you can now choose a question.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Lion.- Lion, OK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I'll show you the first in the sequence.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I want to know what's fourth. Your time starts now.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- OK, could be periods.- Could be. - Composing or architecture...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Will we have the next one? Next, please.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Classical, Baroque and then... Renaissance? Renaissance.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Shall we get the next one first? - Get the next one.- Next.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Renaissance, Renaissance.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32BELL Renaissance.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Is the correct answer and why is that?- That's cool.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- The connection?- It's the...
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Periods of classical music going backwards from the 19th century.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Exactly what it is. Musical epochs going backwards.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Fell Walkers, what takes your fancy? - Water this time.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52A delicious drop of Water. What would you expect to see fourth?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Here's your first clue.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- One in eight. Are those inclines?- OK.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Next, please.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Oh, no.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Next, please.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Seven...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I have absolutely no idea.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26No, this is where we stab blindly.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Erm...
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- 19 to 21?- Let's have a go.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Three seconds. - BELL
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- 19 to 21.- Not the answer, I'm afraid,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36so a chance to you, Francophiles.
0:14:36 > 0:14:4019 to...28.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43That's not it either. What do you think it is?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Not a clue, actually.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Not a clue. This is nasty.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50This is nasty like standing on an upturned plug, this question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52The last letter of one is E,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55the next number that starts with E is eight.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Eight ends with a T, which starts ten.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Ten ends with an N, that starts 19.
0:14:59 > 0:15:0319 ends with an N and the next number up that starts with N?
0:15:03 > 0:15:0490.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07So 19 to 90 was the fourth clue.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You see it or you don't.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Unlucky.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- Francophiles, your turn to choose. - Two Reeds.- Two Reeds.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18What do you expect to see in the fourth picture,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20because these are picture clues? Here is the first.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I have no idea. Next.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Who's that?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Next.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- Peaches.- It's not Geldof's...? - Oh, Peaches Geldof.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- What's the name? - Fifi Trixibelle... Is that right?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Go for it, I suppose, if we have nothing else.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- We've got a few seconds. - Is it something...?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Yeah, maybe something like that.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Should we go for it? - BELL
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Fifi Trixibelle.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02You've almost told me more than you need to.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I'll accept it, though. Fifi.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Now, I think you know the connection, which is that
0:16:07 > 0:16:10these are Paula Yates's daughters in order of age,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14but again, we've put something that isn't actually Fifi here.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Fifi And The Flowertots, a character.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- You didn't recognise the person in the second picture?- No.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- It's Pixie Lott.- Oh!
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Those daughters are Tiger Lily, Pixie,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Peaches and the oldest is Fifi. But you get the point
0:16:28 > 0:16:30because you got the answer. Well done.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Fell Walkers, the Twisted Flax remains for you.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Let's hope it doesn't tangle up in knots. Here's your first clue.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Is it some sort of...musical note?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Maybe, but I don't see the connection.- Next, please.
0:16:49 > 0:16:56Oh, is it F, fluorine, Cl, is that chlorine? I don't know.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02- Bromine, brown. - Which way do they go? Next, please.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Bromine, dark red. So what comes after that?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Is it sodium?- Sodium?- Bright orange.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Which one?- Iodine?- Are you sure?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- No, I'm not.- Three seconds.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I'm not sure at all. BELL
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Erm... Na, bright orange.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Not the answer, so another bonus chance for the Francophiles.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25We think it's I and brown?
0:17:27 > 0:17:28You're closer, but I can't take it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Now, the answer I want is I: purple.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35These are the colours of the halogens.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38We are going down group seven in the periodic table.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I thought it was brown as well, no?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Brown and purple, I'm afraid, are different colours.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48What would you say this delightful gentleman is wearing?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- What colour is that jumper? - That's lavender.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Brown, I'd say. - I'd have accepted lavender.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56What a shame you didn't reach for it. Brown it most certainly is not.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Different colours. Purple, iodine is purple. So no points there.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04At the end of round two, the Fell Walkers have got three points,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06but the Francophiles are ahead with 12.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Time for the connecting wall, that terrifying mass
0:18:12 > 0:18:15of jumbled clues that needs to be sorted into four neat groups.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Fell Walkers, you're going first this time.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- You've got a choice, Lion or Water. - We'll go for Lion again.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25OK, two and a half minutes is the amount of time you have,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27starting now.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33OK, bong, ding dong and peal are all bells. Anything else?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Knell?- Knell.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37BUZZ
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Mystic River, that's a film.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Bad Boys is a film.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Keep going.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Milk was a film.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I don't know.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Milk and dehorn, something you can do to cattle,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58as is rustle and slaughter.
0:19:02 > 0:19:09So... Shall we say milk, slaughter, dehorn...
0:19:09 > 0:19:11and rustle? BUZZ
0:19:11 > 0:19:14No, but we can also raise cattle, can't we?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Anything else you can see?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Er...- Mystic River, Bad Boys...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Three strikes and you're out, remember.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Colours. Colours is a film, isn't it?- Let's just press something now.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Colours, Bad Boys, Mystic River, did you say? The Game is a film,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30so peal, blare...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Is this a word one, do you think?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38You can spell them differently.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Lore, can you spell that differently? Yeah, L-A-W.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Russell, you can spell differently.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Shall we go for The Game being the other film?- Yes, I think so.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50You've solved the wall. That's four immediate points for the groups.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Let's look for the connections. Tell me about the first group.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56They're all ringing, words for ringing.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Yes, bell sounds, that's what it is. And the next one, the green drip?
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- Things you can do with cows.- That's right. It seems cruel mixture.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Milk and raise, that's all nice. Dehorn and slaughter?!
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Feels like a trip to Only Connect.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12A bit of milking, a bit of dehorning and slaughtering.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Next group, the pink one. - They are films.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Beyond that, I don't know what's the connection between the films.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm afraid there is another connection
0:20:23 > 0:20:25and this is for a place in the semi-final.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27'80s Brat Pack?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30That's not really it, no.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34No, because, you know, The Game is 1997, Michael Douglas.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- No, they are films starring Sean Penn.- Oh, right, OK.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Sean Penn, that's the connection. He's in all of those.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44And the last group, the turquoise.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Words that can be spelled differently and sound the same.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52You see, that applies to all words.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56I'm going to need something much more specific.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Names of directors...
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Prime ministers, sorry, prime ministers, yeah.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05You suddenly saw it. They are prime ministers.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Let me tell you the problem with your previous answer.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Blare can only be spelled another way if it's a name,
0:21:10 > 0:21:15there isn't another word blare, but peal, lore, blare, rustle,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17homophones for prime ministers' names.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Which ones? Let's hear some first names.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Robert Peel.- Yes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- Andrew Bonar Law.- That's the one.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Tony Blair.- Everyone's favourite.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28And...the other one.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Well, he was a peer, of course. Earl Russell, John his name was.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33John Russell. So that is correct,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36they are homophones for prime ministers' names.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Four points for the groups you found,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39three more for the connections.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40That is a total of seven points.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Let's bring back the Francophiles, give them a connecting wall
0:21:44 > 0:21:45and see what they can do with it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49New clues, of course, similar principle of solution.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It's the Water wall for you, Francophiles.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55"Le mur de l'eau," as you almost certainly don't say it in French.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59You've got two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07OK, chess terms. Endgame, stalemate... Try those.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09BUZZ No, what else could it be?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13King, I suppose.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Castle, Castle.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Gambit, stalemate.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21- Endgame is a play, isn't it? - A play by Beckett.- Happy Days?
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- Which other ones? Rockaby? - I'm not sure.- Footfalls.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Sir John Houblon was the governor of the Bank...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- And Eddie George.- And Mervyn King.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Governors of the Bank of England, then.- What about Rockaby?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Oh, Leigh-Pemberton!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Three strikes and you're out. Plenty of time.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Angel.- So Endgame...
0:22:42 > 0:22:46And Happy Days, so we've got Cyclops...
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I know what these are, they are X-Men.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54Cyclops, Storm, Rogue and one other. I think probably Angel.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Yeah, so these are Beckett plays. OK, OK.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59That's it, you've solved the wall.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Four points immediately for the groups.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Let's look for the connections. First group?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- They are all chess terms.- They are chess terms. Do you all play?- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- A little bit.- I've won a couple of competitions, many, many years ago.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Really? A chess winner! Can you tell me what the moves are?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19En passant is a pawn move when...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22You can take a pawn without going onto the square
0:23:22 > 0:23:25because when it moves two, the first move of the game,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27you can take it as if it only moved one.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- Exactly. - Stalemate is when nobody can win.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- Gambit is a way... - It's an opening, isn't it?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Isn't it when you sacrifice a piece to get a better position? And then...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I'm taking your word for all of this.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44When I play, whether you can get the end
0:23:44 > 0:23:47without throwing the bishop in someone's eye is all I question.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I'm sure if that's not right, people will write in.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Let's move onto the next group.- They are governors of the Bank of England.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55They are governors of the Bank of England.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Can you tell me their first names? - Mervyn King.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Robin Leigh-Pemberton, Eddie George. - And John Houblon.- Who...
0:24:01 > 0:24:04He used to be on the £50 note until recently.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07The one thing that quizzers all know, who appears on the banknotes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Quite right. What about this next one - Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, Angel?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- They are all members of the X-Men. - Very well done.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Can you tell me more about them? I'm having to look this up, too.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Chess and X-Men, right in my blind spot.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Cyclops is the guy who, whenever he takes his visor off,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- has a big red laser that comes out of his eyes.- He sounds brilliant.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Storm is the girl who can control the elements,
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Rogue is the redheaded girl
0:24:31 > 0:24:33who, if she touches people,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35it throws them the other side of the room.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Apparently she has the ability to absorb the powers of others.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Imagine if I had that power,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I would know everything in the world, the teams I've stood near.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- What about Angel? - I'm not sure who Angel is, actually.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47A mutant with wings, apparently. Lovely.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Not a thing to put on a dating website as a self-description.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54What about that last turquoise group?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56We think they are all plays by Samuel Beckett.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Plays by Samuel Beckett. Very well done.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Four points for the groups you found.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Four more points for the connections.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05You get the bonus two for getting it all right.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06That is a maximum of ten.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Let's see what that does to the scores.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18And if you love nothing more than unjumbling your chess moves
0:25:18 > 0:25:21from your Beckett plays, you'll find more connecting walls
0:25:21 > 0:25:24on our website, where you can also write your own.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Missing vowels time here, though, of course. You know how this works.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Fingers on buzzers, teams.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32This will decide who goes straight to the semi-final
0:25:32 > 0:25:34and who has to take the scenic route.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37The first group are all...
0:25:43 > 0:25:44- BELL - Walkers.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Sue Perkins.- Correct.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51- BELL - Walkers.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Eric Idle.- Correct.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- BELL - Francophiles.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Richard Ayoade.- Correct.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- BELL - Francophiles.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- David Mitchell.- Well, indeed!
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Next category...
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- BELL - Walkers.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Time, gentlemen, please.- Correct.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18- BELL - Francophiles.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Pint on the house?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23That's not it, you lose a point. Fell Walkers, a possible bonus.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Too long. It's, "Pint of the usual?" Next clue.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Too posh for you guys. This is, "Ice and a slice?"
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Next clue.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43- BELL - Walkers.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- You're barred.- That's more like it!
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Next category...
0:26:50 > 0:26:51- BELL - Francophiles.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52- Guatemala.- Correct.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- BELL - Francophiles.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Federated States of Micronesia. - Brilliant.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- BELL - Francophiles.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10- Equatorial Guinea.- Yes, it is.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14- BELL - Francophiles.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Florida.- Correct.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Next category...
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- BELL - Walkers.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Little black dress.- Correct.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29- BELL - Walkers.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Plain white T.- Yes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40END-OF-ROUND JINGLE
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Well, that last one was Ascot hat.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I always wear one, although I've never been to Ascot.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48But that bell means it's the end of the quiz
0:27:48 > 0:27:50and looking at the final scores,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52the Fell Walkers finished with 16 points,
0:27:52 > 0:27:56but the Francophiles are the winners with 27.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Very well done. You guys are straight through to the semi-final.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You, Fell Walkers, are going to have to
0:28:01 > 0:28:03win another game to get yourselves there,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06but we'll all be meeting again sooner or later.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Please join me next time for another episode of Only Connect,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12the quiz that is a proven aid to warding off Alzheimer's,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15even if it does make you feel like you've got it already.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Goodbye.
