0:00:21 > 0:00:25Hello and welcome to Only Connect, the show that's single-handedly
0:00:25 > 0:00:28making quizzing the new rock'n'roll in that the questions are so hard,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30it makes you want to throw your TV out the window.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33We've got some very special guest quizzers here tonight,
0:00:33 > 0:00:38not your run-of-the-mill celebrities, but classy, A-brained cultural phenomena.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Yes, it's our Children In Need special.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Let's see who's come along to play.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46John Finnemore is an award-winning comedy writer
0:00:46 > 0:00:49who, starring in Cabin Pressure and John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53will be as familiar to Radio listeners as the shipping forecast,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56though much less helpful to shipping. He's never helped a ship in his life.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Clogging up the airwaves with so-called jokes while lives are lost at sea.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Konnie Huq put her Cambridge economics degree to good use for years
0:01:05 > 0:01:08making monsters out of loo rolls and old cornflakes packets.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Her family were so relieved when she finally got a job presenting Blue Peter.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Now all grown up and a writer and presenter,
0:01:15 > 0:01:19she co-wrote an episode of Black Mirror about a bleak dystopian nightmare,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21which should get her right in the mood for Only Connect.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26And their captain. For more than 20 years, one of the most popular voices on Radio 4,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30she's been an actress, a magistrate and a newsreader on the Today programme,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32but greater than all these accolades,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34she's been a clue on the Only Connect connecting wall!
0:01:34 > 0:01:40Alice Arnold! All keen on racks and tiling, they are the Scrabblers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So, Alice, how do you feel about having been a clue on the wall?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47It was probably the finest moment of my life, I think.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Were many people in touch as the name came up?
0:01:49 > 0:01:55Er, two, I think, but yes, it was... Yeah, monumental.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Excellent. You will be trying to beat tonight, on my left,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Sir Simon Jenkins, who is a former editor of the Times
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and current chairman of the National Trust.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09He once described the British empire as "a remarkable institution that dismantled itself in good order."
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So he should feel at home here at the BBC.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Clive Anderson is a comedian and a lawyer,
0:02:15 > 0:02:20which means on his shows, he both comes up with the jokes and tells himself they can't be broadcast
0:02:20 > 0:02:25And their captain, one of the nation's best-loved personalities.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28She's a great sports anchor and award-winning and bestselling author,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32a hero of Only Connect for being a woman who's not just passionate about her subjects
0:02:32 > 0:02:34but really knows about them. And more than any of this,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38she's Mrs Alice Arnold! It's Clare Balding.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43For reasons of deference to their captain only, I'm sure they are the Balding Team.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Yes, married rival captains. We haven't had this
0:02:47 > 0:02:49since the great days of Stainer versus Stainer.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Which of you, Clare, is more competitive and who do you think will win?
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Everybody thinks I'm more competitive because they think, "You're sporty, you must be."
0:02:57 > 0:03:00But when we play golf, Alice is fearsomely competitive
0:03:00 > 0:03:05and routinely cuts my handicap to the point where she feels that I cannot possibly win.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09And I think she'll win this. I almost resign right now.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I think she'll win and I'll be thrilled for her when she does THEY LAUGH
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Now, our teams have given their time tonight
0:03:15 > 0:03:18in the hope of inspiring you to give something to Children In Need,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21helping to improve the lives of disadvantaged children
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and young people around the UK.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25So please do make a donation if you possibly can.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Teams, I want you to donate your brains to round one.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32What is the connection between four apparently random clues?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Scrabblers, you won the toss, you'll be going first.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Two reeds, I think, Victoria, please.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42OK. You may see up to four clues
0:03:42 > 0:03:44and they're going to be musical clues.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46This is the music question right at the top.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48What do they have in common? Here's the first.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52# When she was just a kid
0:03:52 > 0:03:55# Her clothes were hand-me-downs
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Shall we say next? Yeah. Next.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:04:09 > 0:04:11THEY WHISPER
0:04:11 > 0:04:14What was the first one? Next.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17# Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
0:04:17 > 0:04:21# I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
0:04:21 > 0:04:24# Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Five seconds. BELL
0:04:27 > 0:04:30We're going to say toys. Wow. Coming in after three clues,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33you get two points. The answer is toys.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36You didn't need to hear Teddy Bears' Picnic. What did you recognise?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40The March Of The Wooden Soldiers was the second one.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45From the Nutcracker. Barbie... I'm A Barbie Girl. Yeah.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Barbie Girl by Aqua. And the first one?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Rag Doll was the first one. Ah! Absolutely right.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Toys is the answer. Well done. Baldings, your turn to choose.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57We would like lion, please.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Bread song. Bread song?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Hm. Got to use our loaf on this one.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Can you sing it? Bread song? No
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Next. Steve Bell cartoon.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18It's in the Guardian. Is bread song in the Guardian?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21What was that one, Maggie's Farm Didn't he do that
0:05:21 > 0:05:24when the late Margaret Thatcher was around?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Hm. Next.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Lindsay Anderson film. Well, If was a famous Lindsay Anderson film.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35If. It must be If. BELL
0:05:35 > 0:05:39If. You also get two points for coming in after three clues
0:05:39 > 0:05:41The answer is If. There is a bread song called If
0:05:41 > 0:05:44a Steve Bell cartoon called that, Lindsay Anderson film.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47You didn't need to see the Rudyard Kipling poem.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Scrabblers, your turn to choose Let's have Eye of Horus.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Eye of Horus. What do these clues have in common? Here's the first.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Next? Next.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06THEY WHISPER
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Another glass stump...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Next.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25They're all in quotation marks.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Mm. What does that mean? Do we go for one more?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Three seconds.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39Next. Oh, I'm afraid you're out of time.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41OK, there is a bonus chance for you, Baldings. Do you know?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45We think it's Prince Charles's references to buildings.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48They are comments that His Royal Highness The Prince Of Wales
0:06:48 > 0:06:51has made about architecture. Yes, often gets in trouble,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55gets called a philistine for saying experimental new buildings are ugly.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59He's always right. You haven't even got monstrous carbuncle.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02We don't want to make it too easy. What was the monstrous blancmange?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06That was the Millennium Dome. Oh. Prince Charles's opinion about that.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Is it helpful, Simon, to get Prince Charles's opinion
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Yes. I think so. He's never wrong. I always agree with him.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That's the trick of it, I always agree.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Well done, Baldings, you get the bonus point and it's your choice.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20We would like water, please. Water.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23What's the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26THEY WHISPER
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Can we go straight away? Yeah, course we can.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32BELL They're all April Fool jokes.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Coming in after one clue, you get five points.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39They're all April Fool hoaxes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41The other ones, Twitter to charge users for vowels,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45the left-handed Whopper, Swiss spaghetti harvest.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47All April Fools joke. Do you like them?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm not a big fan of them cos I know I can be taken in quite easily
0:07:50 > 0:07:52but it's just telling somebody a lie
0:07:52 > 0:07:55and in the newspapers, they're impossible to spot nowadays
0:07:55 > 0:07:58cos real news stories, so-called are so freaky anyway
0:07:58 > 0:08:02cos they're selected to be freaky, so just a little twist of extra freak...
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Like there was one, I think recently, maybe even this year,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09where they were going to weigh people to go on an aeroplane.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Well, that's quite a reasonable suggestion. It's an April Fool
0:08:12 > 0:08:15but I don't see why. Is it an April Fool?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I thought that one was real. But that illustrates your point
0:08:18 > 0:08:21No, that's actually real. They are planning to weigh people.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Shows what I know. Virtually nothing.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27In my youth, Magpie, that programme, I think they did pills
0:08:27 > 0:08:30that were dehydrated water, and when you put them in a cup..
0:08:30 > 0:08:34And I absolutely believed it, when you put it in a cup, it bubbled
0:08:34 > 0:08:38and it was water. Magpie was the rival programme to Blue Peter.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I hardly dared mention it in front of Konnie. Shame on you
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Scrabblers, it's your turn to choose.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Twisted flax. Twisted flax. These are going to be picture clues.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49But what do they have in common Here's the first.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53That's Trafalgar Square.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Yes.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Next.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Oh, well, these are all the titles of the... That's a horned viper
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and that's a lion. Oh. OK. BELL
0:09:06 > 0:09:10We think they are the Egyptian hieroglyphs.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, Egyptian hieroglyphs.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15They are the hieroglyphs from Only Connect.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17You didn't need to see the two reeds and the water.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Yes, the questions were about the questions.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25The hieroglyphs hid hieroglyphs After two clues, three points.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Back to you, Baldings, for the last question of the round, horned viper.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32What do these clues have in common? Here's the first.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38THEY WHISPER
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Next.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Are we meant to be finishing them?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49We've got to identify what these things are.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52These are... Oh, hang on, hang on. BELL
0:09:52 > 0:09:55OK. I think I've got it. Righty-ho.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58We've got it, apparently. I look forward to hearing.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03I was about to say is it Twitter? Because you only get 140 characters.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05But I'm looking at that and it's way too short.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09I'm afraid that's not the answer, so I'll show the next two clues
0:10:09 > 0:10:11to the Scrabblers for a possible bonus point.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Is it what Bart Simpson writes on the blackboard
0:10:14 > 0:10:17at the beginning of The Simpsons? That's exactly it,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21lines written by Bart Simpson on the blackboard in the opening sequence.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Very well done for the bonus point. That means, at the end of round one,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27the Scrabblers have six points,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30the Baldings have eight.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36We are quizzing tonight, of course, to try and raise money for Children In Need,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40helping to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people around the UK.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Every penny you give to BBC Children In Need will go towards
0:10:43 > 0:10:46projects helping disadvantaged children in the UK.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48If you'd like to make a donation, please visit
0:10:48 > 0:10:52the Children In Need website at
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Please do give generously if you can. Every penny counts.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00But we're going to play round two, the sequences round.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05This time, teams, you have to work out the connections in your heads and tell me what comes fourth
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Scrabblers, you'll be going first again.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Which hieroglyph would you like
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Lion. Lion. OK.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Oh, it's the lyrics to Top Cat.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24He's the most sensational, something, something.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28So the fourth one might be Top Cat. Shall we just say Top Cat? No. OK.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31No? Wouldn't it be the fourth adjective?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Oh, I see, yeah. # Most sensational...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Truly exceptional. # Motivational
0:11:36 > 0:11:38You're right, it might be the one before Top Cat.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Damn! Are there that many?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I don't know what the fourth one is, anyway, so should we...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Should we just say... Top Cat. Shall we guess on Top Cat?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48BELL Er, Top Cat.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I'm afraid that's not the answer,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54so I'm going to show the next two in the sequence to the Balding team
0:11:54 > 0:11:58for a possible bonus point. # Inspirational, celebrational
0:11:59 > 0:12:01THEY LAUGH Something -al.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04International? Inter... No, no.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07International I quite like. Celebrational...
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Erm... I can't give you too long.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I'm only suggesting international cos it rhymes. No, you don't know it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21You're so close, but you're thinking of the wrong children's show
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Most sensational, inspirational .. The Muppets!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25..celebrational, Muppetational!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Muppetational is the word I was looking for.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33The Muppet Show theme tune, that's what it was, not Top Cat
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Balding team, it's your turn to choose a question.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38We'll go for water this time. OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Half-asleep.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Next.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Half-asleep, big-nosed.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Are these dwarves?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55No. Sleepy, Nosy.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Next. Oh, is this something to do with hobbits?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Next.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Michael, colloquially. Mike.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Mike. So, Mike.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Half-asleep is dozy.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Big-nosed is nosy. Beaky, yes.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich! Tich
0:13:18 > 0:13:20BELL Tich.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Small person we want to indicate the name Tich.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29You're absolutely right, Tich is the answer. What's the sequence
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But they'd got it from the dwarves. That's right. Interesting.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40But this is the band mates of Dave Dee. Yes.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43And the words indicate Dozy, Beaky, Mick,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and we went with small person to suggest Tich, the next band member.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Well done. Back to the Scrabblers to choose a question.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Two reeds. Two reeds. These are going to be picture clues.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02A cloud. Next one. Next.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10Is it air, earth, fire and water?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14OK, shall we say that? I don't know. Or is it water and fire?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17The elements. Yeah, but... We get double points if we get it after two.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Yes, we do. So it'd be air, earth,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24fire and water or water and fire? I think fire and water.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Yes, I don't know... Next.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Oh. OK. Mexican wave. Oh, that's a wave.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33A Mexican wave. So it's cloud,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37wave... Three seconds. Next.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41I'm afraid the time is up. You can't shout next.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I'm shouting next at you. What is it? OK, so the clock's out.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Baldings, do you want to have a go for a bonus point?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Nope, you haven't got it. What you were looking at is cloud,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54hills, crowd.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57And I want to hear daffodils!
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Ah! I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05when all at once I saw a crowd. . of daffodils.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07They're easy once you tell us the answers. Yes, aren't they?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10It's the Wordsworth poem, the words that appear
0:15:10 > 0:15:13at the end of the opening lines Cloud, hills, crowd, daffodils.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15So no bonus point to you, Baldings,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17but you do get to choose your own question.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Horned viper, please.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Horned viper, OK. What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31He was a... THEY WHISPER
0:15:31 > 0:15:34It's the sequence that we want, so next.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Ethelred the Unready.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40He was king of England. Are these sons of Canute or something?
0:15:40 > 0:15:45These are kings of England or kings of Northumbria. Next.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Is it Edward the Confessor? These are all, erm...
0:15:51 > 0:15:56These are... Anglo-Saxon... Well, Forkbeard is more Nordic.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58They were kings of England.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yeah, but are they more closely. . BELL
0:16:00 > 0:16:04So we're going to go for... Edward the Confessor? Edward the Confessor.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Edward the Confessor. Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Scrabblers, it's your turn to go for a bonus point.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13We think it could be Harold. I'm afraid that's not it.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Now, you asked... Canute. Canute is the answer.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19At some point, you wondered if they were sons of Canute.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23His predecessors. Successive 11th century kings of England.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26And after Edmund Ironside, it was Canute.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Scrabblers, your turn to choose Twisted flax. Twisted flax.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34OK, what would be the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Oh, right. What's that called? What's that called now?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Next.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Oh, that's Today, isn't it? Is it?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Today. OK. So the History Channel, Today... They could all...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55History, Today... No, hang on. Yesterday.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Yesterday, Today.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00The Day After Tomorrow. Yeah. Yes. BELL
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Which is the film. Yeah, it'll be that. The Day After Tomorrow.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06And looking at the other clues, what do you think is fourth?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10It was a film about environmental disaster, something like that.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13That's it. We've got 2004 global warming sci-fi film,
0:17:13 > 0:17:18it indicated The Day After Tomorrow. Yes, UKTV History named Yesterday,
0:17:18 > 0:17:23newspaper was Today, song from Annie Tomorrow and The Day After Tomorrow.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26There is one question remaining It is the Eye of Horus.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Balding team, that's for you.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37OK. This is high... This is high drama.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39High figures. Yeah. Next.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Oh, you're right. You're right. It's maximum viewing figures, is it?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Biggest viewing figures of all time. Biggest viewing figures,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50but are we building, do you think?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I think it's going to be... We'll have to get the third.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's going to be Dallas. Well... Next.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Yeah, we'll have to see the next one.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Funeral of Princess Diana. Olympic Games?
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Something like the World Cup Final. BELL
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Something with you in it, probably.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11We think it's viewing figures, television viewing figures,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14and we think... Did it set the new record, the Opening Ceremony?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16The highest at the time.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Erm... Something with Clare in it, anyway.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22It'll be... Well, unless it was the royal wedding. It might have been.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Princess Diana and Prince Charles was a bigger figure...
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Oh, right. You guess. We'll take the other if you're wrong.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33We'll say the royal wedding, as in... Well, actually, no.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I'm going to have to ask you for an answer. The royal wedding.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39That's not it, I'm afraid. Scrabblers?
0:18:39 > 0:18:44The Olympic Opening Ceremony. It was not the Olympic Opening Ceremony.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It was not something with Clare Balding in it for one reason only,
0:18:47 > 0:18:54because she's far too young and sprightly. 1966 World Cup Final.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57They are highest UK TV audiences and the highest ever,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00until this show was broadcast, the 1966 World Cup Final.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03What was the figure? Do you know? 4-2 to England.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06No! Do you want to have a guess
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I'm thinking it's got to be up around 30 million
0:19:08 > 0:19:10or 28 million, something like that.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13The number of people watching the 1966 World Cup Final
0:19:13 > 0:19:17was 32,300,000.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22At the end of round two, the Scrabblers have got nine points
0:19:22 > 0:19:24the Balding team have ten.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Time now for the connecting wall and the Balding team will be going first this time.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Would you like lion or water?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I think we'd like lion, please. Lion. OK.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40You've got two and a half minutes to solve the lion wall starting now.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Ah, Best, Martin, that's your ' 6.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47That's footballers.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49A Handful Of Dust, we've got novels here.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Vile Bodies. Are these now... Decline... That's Evelyn Waugh.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Yeah. Scoop. And... Handful Of Dust. No.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00That's a trick. You've got to spin them now.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Er... Look for the other one, as well.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Oh.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11George Best, George Martin. Georges, yes.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14George Epstein. And George...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Sutcliffe?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20No. Best, Martin, Epstein. George Preston?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23No, you can't, cos that's a different...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25We want to do that, that, yeah, go on.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Not that. Is Above The Fold? Nope.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33What about those Georges? Scoop Vile Bodies, Decline and Fall.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Puff Piece?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Is that one?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40No. Puff Piece.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Kitts?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Yeah, OK, let's do the novels. Aghh.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Scoop. Let's do Vile Bodies. . Hang on, cos you've still got Kitts.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57So you're... Oh, yeah, take it away, you're right. Yep
0:20:57 > 0:20:59A Handful of Dust. Not Scoop.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Helena? Yeah, well, that is.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Well done. OK, now, let's go... I think these are Georges.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10George Best, George Martin, George Epstein
0:21:10 > 0:21:12and another. George who? It wasn't Sutcliffe. No, no.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14It wasn't Sutcliffe. Preston?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17No. Best, Martin, Epstein...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23CLARE SIGHS
0:21:23 > 0:21:27These are all journalist expressions. OK. Well done. Yep
0:21:27 > 0:21:29And... Cub reporter.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Well done. Three strikes and you're out now. OK. OK.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35St Kitts, St Lucia. Yep, well done.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37St Vincent. St Vincent and... St Martin.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Ah! You've solved the wall.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Excellent work. Hold on.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48I'm going to give you four points straight away for the groups and more points for the connections.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Helena, Vile Bodies, A Handful of Dust, Decline and Fall.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Books by Evelyn Waugh. They're novels by Evelyn Waugh.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Scoop, above the fold, puff piece, cub.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Journalistic terms. Yes, you spotted those from the old Times days.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Martin, Vincent, Kitts, Lucia.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08St. Saints in the West Indies.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11They are Caribbean islands called Saint. And what about the last one?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Best, Preston, Epstein, Sutcliffe.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19All sculptors? I thought George. We thought they were Georges but...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22They're not Georges. No, you're not seeing it.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25They are all people who were referred to as the fifth Beatle
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Oh, yes! Oh, gosh. We have got Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bass player,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Pete Best, the drummer, Brian Epstein, the manager,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and Billy Preston, the keyboard player.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37But an excellent score. Four points for the groups,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40three more for the connections, that's a total of seven.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Time to bring in the Scrabblers give them new clues to scrabble about in,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47see if they can sort them into four connected groups of four.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50It's the water wall that remains. Your opponents took lion.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54You've got two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59OK. Right. Ah, so there's some yoga positions there, I think.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03And there's races. Three-legged, egg-and-spoon, sack.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Pancake. Pancake.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11No. OK. Wheelbarrow race. OK, wheelbarrow,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14three-legged, egg-and-spoon and sack again? Yep.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16OK, right. Yay!
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Pancake... Ah, bronzer. These are make-ups.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Pancake, bronzer, rouge and foundation.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26And then there's some beetles. Slow down. Three strikes and you're out.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29There's plenty of time. OK, beetle. Death watch.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Goliath is a beetle. So we'll do three but no more.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Cockroach. Those three. And I think Colorado might be.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Colorado beetle. So don't press it. Don't press it.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41What would click, rot, coch... Cockroach.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Rot, Rotterdam. We've got lots of time. Yeah.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Rosso, is that a wine? No.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50What could the other thing be? They mean red in different languages
0:23:50 > 0:23:52That's red in German, red in Italian.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56And coch, cochineal. So click must be red in something.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59So... Unless it's a click beetle OK, right.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02So... So we're ready to do this now, aren't we? Yeah.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Goliath and Colorado. No.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Two more goes. Death watch. Oh, dear.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Well, death watch is not a type of red. Yeah. No.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Goliath surely isn't a type of red. Colorado could be red.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16No, no, red. Yeah. Stag. And click. Yeah.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18That's it. You've solved the wall.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Very well done. Four points for the groups. What about the connections.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Sack, three-legged, egg-and-spoon, wheelbarrow.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Races at sports days? They are races.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Pancake, foundation, rouge, bronzer.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Make-up things. Types of make-up
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Click, Goliath, stag, death watch.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Beetles. All beetles.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41And the last group. Colorado, rot, coch, rosso.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Words for red, types of red. Words for red in different languages.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Very well done. Four points for the groups,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51four more for the connections, plus I can give you two bonus points for getting it all right.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54That is the maximum of ten.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Let's have a look at the scores now as we go into the final round
0:24:57 > 0:25:00The Baldings have 17 points,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02the Scrabblers have 19.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07And yes, I've put on the ears of this little stout, hairy creatures.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Unfortunately, the resemblance doesn't end there.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13If you go to our website, you will find a special Children In Need
0:25:13 > 0:25:17connecting wall and a link to the Children In Need donation website.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people
0:25:25 > 0:25:27across the UK. But I'm going to make
0:25:27 > 0:25:31a negative change to your lives teams, with more questions.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36It's round four, missing vowels. We've taken the vowels out of well-known names, phrases or sayings
0:25:36 > 0:25:40and squidged up the consonants and I want to know what are those disguised clues?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Fingers of buzzers. The first group are all legal defences.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Mistaken identity. Correct.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Moral coercion. I'm afraid that's not it. Baldings?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Marital coercion. Marital coercion. Next clue.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Necessity. Not it, I'm afraid. Scrabblers, do you know?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Insanity. Insanity. Next clue.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Diminished responsibility. That's right. Next category.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Sticky-backed plastic. That's right. That's the Welsh version.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Here's one I made earlier. Yep.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Does nobody remember... Scrabblers?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Asking... No. No. Baldings, do you know?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Ask and let the... That's not it, either.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50It's ask an adult to help you. Oh! Next clue.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Get down, Shep. Those were the days.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Next category...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Batteries not included. Correct
0:27:12 > 0:27:14No, that's not it. Baldings, do you know?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It's something assembly... THEME MUSIC PLAYS
0:27:19 > 0:27:24That's not it, either. Adult assembly required. Too late now
0:27:24 > 0:27:28It's the end of the quiz and the Scrabblers finish with 20 points.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32The Balding team finish with 20 It's not the end of the quiz.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's a tiebreak. How exciting! In a tiebreak,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38it will be captains only.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41There will be one missing vowels clue.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44If you buzz in with the right answer, you've won.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48If you buzz in with the wrong answer, the other team wins by default.
0:27:48 > 0:27:55So, Alice and Clare, in a situation destined to have you both arguing for decades,
0:27:55 > 0:27:59fingers on buzzers. Good luck. Here's your tiebreak clue.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Baldings. Better late than never.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09It is better late than never!
0:28:09 > 0:28:13And with that, you have won the match for your team.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15A very creditable 20 points for the Scrabblers,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17but just one point ahead on a tiebreak,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21the Balding team have won the day. Well done.
