Hello and welcome to Only Connect, the show that's single-handedly

0:00:210:00:25

making quizzing the new rock'n'roll in that the questions are so hard,

0:00:250:00:28

it makes you want to throw your TV out the window.

0:00:280:00:30

We've got some very special guest quizzers here tonight,

0:00:300:00:33

not your run-of-the-mill celebrities, but classy, A-brained cultural phenomena.

0:00:330:00:38

Yes, it's our Children In Need special.

0:00:380:00:41

Let's see who's come along to play.

0:00:410:00:43

John Finnemore is an award-winning comedy writer

0:00:430:00:46

who, starring in Cabin Pressure and John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme,

0:00:460:00:49

will be as familiar to Radio listeners as the shipping forecast,

0:00:490:00:53

though much less helpful to shipping. He's never helped a ship in his life.

0:00:530:00:56

Clogging up the airwaves with so-called jokes while lives are lost at sea.

0:00:560:01:00

Konnie Huq put her Cambridge economics degree to good use for years

0:01:020:01:05

making monsters out of loo rolls and old cornflakes packets.

0:01:050:01:08

Her family were so relieved when she finally got a job presenting Blue Peter.

0:01:080:01:13

Now all grown up and a writer and presenter,

0:01:130:01:15

she co-wrote an episode of Black Mirror about a bleak dystopian nightmare,

0:01:150:01:19

which should get her right in the mood for Only Connect.

0:01:190:01:21

And their captain. For more than 20 years, one of the most popular voices on Radio 4,

0:01:210:01:26

she's been an actress, a magistrate and a newsreader on the Today programme,

0:01:260:01:30

but greater than all these accolades,

0:01:300:01:32

she's been a clue on the Only Connect connecting wall!

0:01:320:01:34

Alice Arnold! All keen on racks and tiling, they are the Scrabblers.

0:01:340:01:40

So, Alice, how do you feel about having been a clue on the wall?

0:01:400:01:43

It was probably the finest moment of my life, I think.

0:01:430:01:47

Were many people in touch as the name came up?

0:01:470:01:49

Er, two, I think, but yes, it was... Yeah, monumental.

0:01:490:01:55

Excellent. You will be trying to beat tonight, on my left,

0:01:550:01:58

Sir Simon Jenkins, who is a former editor of the Times

0:01:580:02:02

and current chairman of the National Trust.

0:02:020:02:04

He once described the British empire as "a remarkable institution that dismantled itself in good order."

0:02:040:02:09

So he should feel at home here at the BBC.

0:02:090:02:12

Clive Anderson is a comedian and a lawyer,

0:02:120:02:15

which means on his shows, he both comes up with the jokes and tells himself they can't be broadcast

0:02:150:02:20

And their captain, one of the nation's best-loved personalities.

0:02:200:02:25

She's a great sports anchor and award-winning and bestselling author,

0:02:250:02:28

a hero of Only Connect for being a woman who's not just passionate about her subjects

0:02:280:02:32

but really knows about them. And more than any of this,

0:02:320:02:34

she's Mrs Alice Arnold! It's Clare Balding.

0:02:340:02:38

For reasons of deference to their captain only, I'm sure they are the Balding Team.

0:02:380:02:43

Yes, married rival captains. We haven't had this

0:02:430:02:47

since the great days of Stainer versus Stainer.

0:02:470:02:49

Which of you, Clare, is more competitive and who do you think will win?

0:02:490:02:52

Everybody thinks I'm more competitive because they think, "You're sporty, you must be."

0:02:520:02:57

But when we play golf, Alice is fearsomely competitive

0:02:570:03:00

and routinely cuts my handicap to the point where she feels that I cannot possibly win.

0:03:000:03:05

And I think she'll win this. I almost resign right now.

0:03:050:03:09

I think she'll win and I'll be thrilled for her when she does THEY LAUGH

0:03:090:03:13

Now, our teams have given their time tonight

0:03:130:03:15

in the hope of inspiring you to give something to Children In Need,

0:03:150:03:18

helping to improve the lives of disadvantaged children

0:03:180:03:21

and young people around the UK.

0:03:210:03:23

So please do make a donation if you possibly can.

0:03:230:03:25

Teams, I want you to donate your brains to round one.

0:03:250:03:29

What is the connection between four apparently random clues?

0:03:290:03:32

Scrabblers, you won the toss, you'll be going first.

0:03:320:03:35

Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:03:350:03:37

Two reeds, I think, Victoria, please.

0:03:370:03:39

OK. You may see up to four clues

0:03:390:03:42

and they're going to be musical clues.

0:03:420:03:44

This is the music question right at the top.

0:03:440:03:46

What do they have in common? Here's the first.

0:03:460:03:48

# When she was just a kid

0:03:480:03:52

# Her clothes were hand-me-downs

0:03:520:03:55

Shall we say next? Yeah. Next.

0:03:570:04:00

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

0:04:000:04:04

THEY WHISPER

0:04:090:04:11

What was the first one? Next.

0:04:110:04:14

# Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please

0:04:140:04:17

# I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees

0:04:170:04:21

# Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again

0:04:210:04:24

Five seconds. BELL

0:04:240:04:27

We're going to say toys. Wow. Coming in after three clues,

0:04:270:04:30

you get two points. The answer is toys.

0:04:300:04:33

You didn't need to hear Teddy Bears' Picnic. What did you recognise?

0:04:330:04:36

The March Of The Wooden Soldiers was the second one.

0:04:360:04:40

From the Nutcracker. Barbie... I'm A Barbie Girl. Yeah.

0:04:400:04:45

Barbie Girl by Aqua. And the first one?

0:04:450:04:47

Rag Doll was the first one. Ah! Absolutely right.

0:04:470:04:50

Toys is the answer. Well done. Baldings, your turn to choose.

0:04:500:04:54

We would like lion, please.

0:04:540:04:57

What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.

0:04:570:05:01

Bread song. Bread song?

0:05:020:05:04

Hm. Got to use our loaf on this one.

0:05:040:05:07

Can you sing it? Bread song? No

0:05:080:05:11

Next. Steve Bell cartoon.

0:05:110:05:14

It's in the Guardian. Is bread song in the Guardian?

0:05:140:05:18

What was that one, Maggie's Farm Didn't he do that

0:05:180:05:21

when the late Margaret Thatcher was around?

0:05:210:05:24

Hm. Next.

0:05:240:05:27

Lindsay Anderson film. Well, If was a famous Lindsay Anderson film.

0:05:280:05:32

If. It must be If. BELL

0:05:320:05:35

If. You also get two points for coming in after three clues

0:05:350:05:39

The answer is If. There is a bread song called If

0:05:390:05:41

a Steve Bell cartoon called that, Lindsay Anderson film.

0:05:410:05:44

You didn't need to see the Rudyard Kipling poem.

0:05:440:05:47

Scrabblers, your turn to choose Let's have Eye of Horus.

0:05:470:05:50

Eye of Horus. What do these clues have in common? Here's the first.

0:05:500:05:54

Next? Next.

0:05:580:06:01

THEY WHISPER

0:06:020:06:06

Another glass stump...

0:06:090:06:11

Next.

0:06:130:06:15

They're all in quotation marks.

0:06:220:06:25

Mm. What does that mean? Do we go for one more?

0:06:250:06:29

Three seconds.

0:06:310:06:33

Next. Oh, I'm afraid you're out of time.

0:06:330:06:39

OK, there is a bonus chance for you, Baldings. Do you know?

0:06:390:06:41

We think it's Prince Charles's references to buildings.

0:06:410:06:45

They are comments that His Royal Highness The Prince Of Wales

0:06:450:06:48

has made about architecture. Yes, often gets in trouble,

0:06:480:06:51

gets called a philistine for saying experimental new buildings are ugly.

0:06:510:06:55

He's always right. You haven't even got monstrous carbuncle.

0:06:550:06:59

We don't want to make it too easy. What was the monstrous blancmange?

0:06:590:07:02

That was the Millennium Dome. Oh. Prince Charles's opinion about that.

0:07:020:07:06

Is it helpful, Simon, to get Prince Charles's opinion

0:07:060:07:09

Yes. I think so. He's never wrong. I always agree with him.

0:07:090:07:12

That's the trick of it, I always agree.

0:07:120:07:14

Well done, Baldings, you get the bonus point and it's your choice.

0:07:140:07:17

We would like water, please. Water.

0:07:170:07:20

What's the connection between these clues? Here's the first.

0:07:200:07:23

THEY WHISPER

0:07:250:07:26

Can we go straight away? Yeah, course we can.

0:07:260:07:29

BELL They're all April Fool jokes.

0:07:290:07:32

Coming in after one clue, you get five points.

0:07:320:07:36

They're all April Fool hoaxes.

0:07:360:07:39

The other ones, Twitter to charge users for vowels,

0:07:390:07:41

the left-handed Whopper, Swiss spaghetti harvest.

0:07:410:07:45

All April Fools joke. Do you like them?

0:07:450:07:47

I'm not a big fan of them cos I know I can be taken in quite easily

0:07:470:07:50

but it's just telling somebody a lie

0:07:500:07:52

and in the newspapers, they're impossible to spot nowadays

0:07:520:07:55

cos real news stories, so-called are so freaky anyway

0:07:550:07:58

cos they're selected to be freaky, so just a little twist of extra freak...

0:07:580:08:02

Like there was one, I think recently, maybe even this year,

0:08:020:08:05

where they were going to weigh people to go on an aeroplane.

0:08:050:08:09

Well, that's quite a reasonable suggestion. It's an April Fool

0:08:090:08:12

but I don't see why. Is it an April Fool?

0:08:120:08:15

I thought that one was real. But that illustrates your point

0:08:150:08:18

No, that's actually real. They are planning to weigh people.

0:08:180:08:21

Shows what I know. Virtually nothing.

0:08:210:08:24

In my youth, Magpie, that programme, I think they did pills

0:08:240:08:27

that were dehydrated water, and when you put them in a cup..

0:08:270:08:30

And I absolutely believed it, when you put it in a cup, it bubbled

0:08:300:08:34

and it was water. Magpie was the rival programme to Blue Peter.

0:08:340:08:38

I hardly dared mention it in front of Konnie. Shame on you

0:08:380:08:41

Scrabblers, it's your turn to choose.

0:08:410:08:43

Twisted flax. Twisted flax. These are going to be picture clues.

0:08:430:08:46

But what do they have in common Here's the first.

0:08:460:08:49

That's Trafalgar Square.

0:08:510:08:53

Yes.

0:08:530:08:55

Next.

0:08:560:08:58

Oh, well, these are all the titles of the... That's a horned viper

0:08:590:09:04

and that's a lion. Oh. OK. BELL

0:09:040:09:06

We think they are the Egyptian hieroglyphs.

0:09:060:09:10

Yeah, Egyptian hieroglyphs.

0:09:100:09:12

They are the hieroglyphs from Only Connect.

0:09:120:09:15

You didn't need to see the two reeds and the water.

0:09:150:09:17

Yes, the questions were about the questions.

0:09:170:09:21

The hieroglyphs hid hieroglyphs After two clues, three points.

0:09:210:09:25

Back to you, Baldings, for the last question of the round, horned viper.

0:09:250:09:29

What do these clues have in common? Here's the first.

0:09:290:09:32

THEY WHISPER

0:09:360:09:38

Next.

0:09:380:09:41

Are we meant to be finishing them?

0:09:440:09:46

We've got to identify what these things are.

0:09:460:09:49

These are... Oh, hang on, hang on. BELL

0:09:500:09:52

OK. I think I've got it. Righty-ho.

0:09:520:09:55

We've got it, apparently. I look forward to hearing.

0:09:550:09:58

I was about to say is it Twitter? Because you only get 140 characters.

0:09:580:10:03

But I'm looking at that and it's way too short.

0:10:030:10:05

I'm afraid that's not the answer, so I'll show the next two clues

0:10:050:10:09

to the Scrabblers for a possible bonus point.

0:10:090:10:11

Is it what Bart Simpson writes on the blackboard

0:10:110:10:14

at the beginning of The Simpsons? That's exactly it,

0:10:140:10:17

lines written by Bart Simpson on the blackboard in the opening sequence.

0:10:170:10:21

Very well done for the bonus point. That means, at the end of round one,

0:10:210:10:25

the Scrabblers have six points,

0:10:250:10:27

the Baldings have eight.

0:10:270:10:30

We are quizzing tonight, of course, to try and raise money for Children In Need,

0:10:320:10:36

helping to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people around the UK.

0:10:360:10:40

Every penny you give to BBC Children In Need will go towards

0:10:400:10:43

projects helping disadvantaged children in the UK.

0:10:430:10:46

If you'd like to make a donation, please visit

0:10:460:10:48

the Children In Need website at

0:10:480:10:52

Please do give generously if you can. Every penny counts.

0:10:520:10:57

But we're going to play round two, the sequences round.

0:10:570:11:00

This time, teams, you have to work out the connections in your heads and tell me what comes fourth

0:11:000:11:05

Scrabblers, you'll be going first again.

0:11:050:11:07

Which hieroglyph would you like

0:11:070:11:09

Lion. Lion. OK.

0:11:090:11:11

What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:11:110:11:15

Oh, it's the lyrics to Top Cat.

0:11:180:11:21

He's the most sensational, something, something.

0:11:210:11:24

So the fourth one might be Top Cat. Shall we just say Top Cat? No. OK.

0:11:240:11:28

No? Wouldn't it be the fourth adjective?

0:11:280:11:31

Oh, I see, yeah. # Most sensational...

0:11:310:11:33

Truly exceptional. # Motivational

0:11:330:11:36

You're right, it might be the one before Top Cat.

0:11:360:11:38

Damn! Are there that many?

0:11:380:11:41

I don't know what the fourth one is, anyway, so should we...

0:11:410:11:44

Should we just say... Top Cat. Shall we guess on Top Cat?

0:11:440:11:46

BELL Er, Top Cat.

0:11:460:11:48

I'm afraid that's not the answer,

0:11:480:11:50

so I'm going to show the next two in the sequence to the Balding team

0:11:500:11:54

for a possible bonus point. # Inspirational, celebrational

0:11:540:11:58

THEY LAUGH Something -al.

0:11:590:12:01

International? Inter... No, no.

0:12:010:12:04

International I quite like. Celebrational...

0:12:040:12:07

Erm... I can't give you too long.

0:12:080:12:11

I'm only suggesting international cos it rhymes. No, you don't know it.

0:12:110:12:15

You're so close, but you're thinking of the wrong children's show

0:12:150:12:21

Most sensational, inspirational .. The Muppets!

0:12:210:12:23

..celebrational, Muppetational!

0:12:230:12:25

Muppetational is the word I was looking for.

0:12:250:12:29

The Muppet Show theme tune, that's what it was, not Top Cat

0:12:290:12:33

Balding team, it's your turn to choose a question.

0:12:330:12:36

We'll go for water this time. OK.

0:12:360:12:38

What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:12:380:12:41

Half-asleep.

0:12:430:12:46

Next.

0:12:470:12:49

Half-asleep, big-nosed.

0:12:490:12:51

Are these dwarves?

0:12:510:12:53

No. Sleepy, Nosy.

0:12:530:12:55

Next. Oh, is this something to do with hobbits?

0:12:570:13:01

Next.

0:13:010:13:03

Michael, colloquially. Mike.

0:13:040:13:06

Mike. So, Mike.

0:13:060:13:09

Half-asleep is dozy.

0:13:090:13:12

Big-nosed is nosy. Beaky, yes.

0:13:120:13:14

Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich! Tich

0:13:140:13:18

BELL Tich.

0:13:180:13:20

Small person we want to indicate the name Tich.

0:13:200:13:24

You're absolutely right, Tich is the answer. What's the sequence

0:13:240:13:29

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

0:13:290:13:33

But they'd got it from the dwarves. That's right. Interesting.

0:13:330:13:35

But this is the band mates of Dave Dee. Yes.

0:13:350:13:40

And the words indicate Dozy, Beaky, Mick,

0:13:400:13:43

and we went with small person to suggest Tich, the next band member.

0:13:430:13:46

Well done. Back to the Scrabblers to choose a question.

0:13:460:13:50

Two reeds. Two reeds. These are going to be picture clues.

0:13:500:13:54

What would you expect to see in the fourth picture? Here's the first.

0:13:540:13:57

A cloud. Next one. Next.

0:13:590:14:02

Is it air, earth, fire and water?

0:14:040:14:10

OK, shall we say that? I don't know. Or is it water and fire?

0:14:100:14:14

The elements. Yeah, but... We get double points if we get it after two.

0:14:140:14:17

Yes, we do. So it'd be air, earth,

0:14:170:14:21

fire and water or water and fire? I think fire and water.

0:14:210:14:24

Yes, I don't know... Next.

0:14:240:14:27

Oh. OK. Mexican wave. Oh, that's a wave.

0:14:270:14:30

A Mexican wave. So it's cloud,

0:14:300:14:33

wave... Three seconds. Next.

0:14:330:14:37

I'm afraid the time is up. You can't shout next.

0:14:370:14:41

I'm shouting next at you. What is it? OK, so the clock's out.

0:14:410:14:44

Baldings, do you want to have a go for a bonus point?

0:14:440:14:47

Nope, you haven't got it. What you were looking at is cloud,

0:14:480:14:52

hills, crowd.

0:14:520:14:54

And I want to hear daffodils!

0:14:540:14:57

Ah! I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills,

0:14:570:15:01

when all at once I saw a crowd. . of daffodils.

0:15:010:15:05

They're easy once you tell us the answers. Yes, aren't they?

0:15:050:15:07

It's the Wordsworth poem, the words that appear

0:15:070:15:10

at the end of the opening lines Cloud, hills, crowd, daffodils.

0:15:100:15:13

So no bonus point to you, Baldings,

0:15:130:15:15

but you do get to choose your own question.

0:15:150:15:17

Horned viper, please.

0:15:170:15:19

Horned viper, OK. What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:15:190:15:24

He was a... THEY WHISPER

0:15:270:15:31

It's the sequence that we want, so next.

0:15:310:15:34

Ethelred the Unready.

0:15:340:15:36

He was king of England. Are these sons of Canute or something?

0:15:360:15:40

These are kings of England or kings of Northumbria. Next.

0:15:400:15:45

Is it Edward the Confessor? These are all, erm...

0:15:480:15:51

These are... Anglo-Saxon... Well, Forkbeard is more Nordic.

0:15:510:15:56

They were kings of England.

0:15:560:15:58

Yeah, but are they more closely. . BELL

0:15:580:16:00

So we're going to go for... Edward the Confessor? Edward the Confessor.

0:16:000:16:04

Edward the Confessor. Not the answer, I'm afraid.

0:16:040:16:07

Scrabblers, it's your turn to go for a bonus point.

0:16:070:16:09

We think it could be Harold. I'm afraid that's not it.

0:16:090:16:13

Now, you asked... Canute. Canute is the answer.

0:16:130:16:17

At some point, you wondered if they were sons of Canute.

0:16:170:16:19

His predecessors. Successive 11th century kings of England.

0:16:190:16:23

And after Edmund Ironside, it was Canute.

0:16:230:16:26

Scrabblers, your turn to choose Twisted flax. Twisted flax.

0:16:260:16:30

OK, what would be the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:16:300:16:34

Oh, right. What's that called? What's that called now?

0:16:360:16:41

Next.

0:16:420:16:45

Oh, that's Today, isn't it? Is it?

0:16:460:16:48

Today. OK. So the History Channel, Today... They could all...

0:16:480:16:52

History, Today... No, hang on. Yesterday.

0:16:520:16:55

Yesterday, Today.

0:16:550:16:57

The Day After Tomorrow. Yeah. Yes. BELL

0:16:570:17:00

Which is the film. Yeah, it'll be that. The Day After Tomorrow.

0:17:000:17:03

And looking at the other clues, what do you think is fourth?

0:17:030:17:06

It was a film about environmental disaster, something like that.

0:17:060:17:10

That's it. We've got 2004 global warming sci-fi film,

0:17:100:17:13

it indicated The Day After Tomorrow. Yes, UKTV History named Yesterday,

0:17:130:17:18

newspaper was Today, song from Annie Tomorrow and The Day After Tomorrow.

0:17:180:17:23

There is one question remaining It is the Eye of Horus.

0:17:230:17:26

Balding team, that's for you.

0:17:260:17:28

What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.

0:17:280:17:30

OK. This is high... This is high drama.

0:17:330:17:37

High figures. Yeah. Next.

0:17:370:17:39

Oh, you're right. You're right. It's maximum viewing figures, is it?

0:17:410:17:44

Biggest viewing figures of all time. Biggest viewing figures,

0:17:440:17:47

but are we building, do you think?

0:17:470:17:50

I think it's going to be... We'll have to get the third.

0:17:500:17:53

It's going to be Dallas. Well... Next.

0:17:530:17:56

Yeah, we'll have to see the next one.

0:17:560:17:58

Funeral of Princess Diana. Olympic Games?

0:17:580:18:01

Something like the World Cup Final. BELL

0:18:010:18:05

Something with you in it, probably.

0:18:050:18:07

We think it's viewing figures, television viewing figures,

0:18:070:18:11

and we think... Did it set the new record, the Opening Ceremony?

0:18:110:18:14

The highest at the time.

0:18:140:18:16

Erm... Something with Clare in it, anyway.

0:18:160:18:18

It'll be... Well, unless it was the royal wedding. It might have been.

0:18:180:18:22

Princess Diana and Prince Charles was a bigger figure...

0:18:220:18:25

Oh, right. You guess. We'll take the other if you're wrong.

0:18:250:18:29

We'll say the royal wedding, as in... Well, actually, no.

0:18:290:18:33

I'm going to have to ask you for an answer. The royal wedding.

0:18:330:18:37

That's not it, I'm afraid. Scrabblers?

0:18:370:18:39

The Olympic Opening Ceremony. It was not the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

0:18:390:18:44

It was not something with Clare Balding in it for one reason only,

0:18:440:18:47

because she's far too young and sprightly. 1966 World Cup Final.

0:18:470:18:54

They are highest UK TV audiences and the highest ever,

0:18:540:18:57

until this show was broadcast, the 1966 World Cup Final.

0:18:570:19:00

What was the figure? Do you know? 4-2 to England.

0:19:000:19:03

No! Do you want to have a guess

0:19:030:19:06

I'm thinking it's got to be up around 30 million

0:19:060:19:08

or 28 million, something like that.

0:19:080:19:10

The number of people watching the 1966 World Cup Final

0:19:100:19:13

was 32,300,000.

0:19:130:19:17

At the end of round two, the Scrabblers have got nine points

0:19:170:19:22

the Balding team have ten.

0:19:220:19:24

Time now for the connecting wall and the Balding team will be going first this time.

0:19:260:19:30

Would you like lion or water?

0:19:300:19:33

I think we'd like lion, please. Lion. OK.

0:19:330:19:35

You've got two and a half minutes to solve the lion wall starting now.

0:19:350:19:40

Ah, Best, Martin, that's your ' 6.

0:19:420:19:45

That's footballers.

0:19:450:19:47

A Handful Of Dust, we've got novels here.

0:19:470:19:49

Vile Bodies. Are these now... Decline... That's Evelyn Waugh.

0:19:490:19:53

Yeah. Scoop. And... Handful Of Dust. No.

0:19:530:19:57

That's a trick. You've got to spin them now.

0:19:570:20:00

Er... Look for the other one, as well.

0:20:000:20:04

Oh.

0:20:050:20:07

George Best, George Martin. Georges, yes.

0:20:070:20:11

George Epstein. And George...

0:20:110:20:14

Sutcliffe?

0:20:140:20:16

No. Best, Martin, Epstein. George Preston?

0:20:160:20:20

No, you can't, cos that's a different...

0:20:200:20:23

We want to do that, that, yeah, go on.

0:20:230:20:25

Not that. Is Above The Fold? Nope.

0:20:270:20:29

What about those Georges? Scoop Vile Bodies, Decline and Fall.

0:20:290:20:33

Puff Piece?

0:20:330:20:35

Is that one?

0:20:350:20:37

No. Puff Piece.

0:20:370:20:40

Kitts?

0:20:440:20:46

Yeah, OK, let's do the novels. Aghh.

0:20:470:20:50

Scoop. Let's do Vile Bodies. . Hang on, cos you've still got Kitts.

0:20:500:20:54

So you're... Oh, yeah, take it away, you're right. Yep

0:20:540:20:57

A Handful of Dust. Not Scoop.

0:20:570:20:59

Helena? Yeah, well, that is.

0:20:590:21:02

Well done. OK, now, let's go... I think these are Georges.

0:21:020:21:06

George Best, George Martin, George Epstein

0:21:060:21:10

and another. George who? It wasn't Sutcliffe. No, no.

0:21:100:21:12

It wasn't Sutcliffe. Preston?

0:21:120:21:14

No. Best, Martin, Epstein...

0:21:140:21:17

CLARE SIGHS

0:21:200:21:23

These are all journalist expressions. OK. Well done. Yep

0:21:230:21:27

And... Cub reporter.

0:21:270:21:29

Well done. Three strikes and you're out now. OK. OK.

0:21:290:21:32

St Kitts, St Lucia. Yep, well done.

0:21:320:21:35

St Vincent. St Vincent and... St Martin.

0:21:350:21:37

Ah! You've solved the wall.

0:21:370:21:40

Excellent work. Hold on.

0:21:400:21:43

I'm going to give you four points straight away for the groups and more points for the connections.

0:21:430:21:48

Helena, Vile Bodies, A Handful of Dust, Decline and Fall.

0:21:480:21:51

Books by Evelyn Waugh. They're novels by Evelyn Waugh.

0:21:510:21:55

Scoop, above the fold, puff piece, cub.

0:21:550:21:58

Journalistic terms. Yes, you spotted those from the old Times days.

0:21:580:22:02

Martin, Vincent, Kitts, Lucia.

0:22:020:22:06

St. Saints in the West Indies.

0:22:060:22:08

They are Caribbean islands called Saint. And what about the last one?

0:22:080:22:11

Best, Preston, Epstein, Sutcliffe.

0:22:110:22:15

All sculptors? I thought George. We thought they were Georges but...

0:22:150:22:19

They're not Georges. No, you're not seeing it.

0:22:190:22:22

They are all people who were referred to as the fifth Beatle

0:22:220:22:25

Oh, yes! Oh, gosh. We have got Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bass player,

0:22:250:22:30

Pete Best, the drummer, Brian Epstein, the manager,

0:22:300:22:32

and Billy Preston, the keyboard player.

0:22:320:22:34

But an excellent score. Four points for the groups,

0:22:340:22:37

three more for the connections, that's a total of seven.

0:22:370:22:40

Time to bring in the Scrabblers give them new clues to scrabble about in,

0:22:400:22:43

see if they can sort them into four connected groups of four.

0:22:430:22:47

It's the water wall that remains. Your opponents took lion.

0:22:470:22:50

You've got two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.

0:22:500:22:54

OK. Right. Ah, so there's some yoga positions there, I think.

0:22:550:22:59

And there's races. Three-legged, egg-and-spoon, sack.

0:22:590:23:03

Pancake. Pancake.

0:23:030:23:05

No. OK. Wheelbarrow race. OK, wheelbarrow,

0:23:080:23:11

three-legged, egg-and-spoon and sack again? Yep.

0:23:110:23:14

OK, right. Yay!

0:23:140:23:16

Pancake... Ah, bronzer. These are make-ups.

0:23:160:23:19

Pancake, bronzer, rouge and foundation.

0:23:190:23:22

And then there's some beetles. Slow down. Three strikes and you're out.

0:23:230:23:26

There's plenty of time. OK, beetle. Death watch.

0:23:260:23:29

Goliath is a beetle. So we'll do three but no more.

0:23:290:23:31

Cockroach. Those three. And I think Colorado might be.

0:23:310:23:35

Colorado beetle. So don't press it. Don't press it.

0:23:350:23:37

What would click, rot, coch... Cockroach.

0:23:370:23:41

Rot, Rotterdam. We've got lots of time. Yeah.

0:23:410:23:44

Rosso, is that a wine? No.

0:23:440:23:46

What could the other thing be? They mean red in different languages

0:23:460:23:50

That's red in German, red in Italian.

0:23:500:23:52

And coch, cochineal. So click must be red in something.

0:23:520:23:56

So... Unless it's a click beetle OK, right.

0:23:560:23:59

So... So we're ready to do this now, aren't we? Yeah.

0:23:590:24:02

Goliath and Colorado. No.

0:24:020:24:05

Two more goes. Death watch. Oh, dear.

0:24:050:24:07

Well, death watch is not a type of red. Yeah. No.

0:24:070:24:09

Goliath surely isn't a type of red. Colorado could be red.

0:24:090:24:12

No, no, red. Yeah. Stag. And click. Yeah.

0:24:120:24:16

That's it. You've solved the wall.

0:24:160:24:18

Very well done. Four points for the groups. What about the connections.

0:24:180:24:22

Sack, three-legged, egg-and-spoon, wheelbarrow.

0:24:220:24:24

Races at sports days? They are races.

0:24:240:24:27

Pancake, foundation, rouge, bronzer.

0:24:270:24:30

Make-up things. Types of make-up

0:24:300:24:32

Click, Goliath, stag, death watch.

0:24:320:24:35

Beetles. All beetles.

0:24:350:24:37

And the last group. Colorado, rot, coch, rosso.

0:24:370:24:41

Words for red, types of red. Words for red in different languages.

0:24:410:24:45

Very well done. Four points for the groups,

0:24:450:24:47

four more for the connections, plus I can give you two bonus points for getting it all right.

0:24:470:24:51

That is the maximum of ten.

0:24:510:24:54

Let's have a look at the scores now as we go into the final round

0:24:540:24:57

The Baldings have 17 points,

0:24:570:25:00

the Scrabblers have 19.

0:25:000:25:02

And yes, I've put on the ears of this little stout, hairy creatures.

0:25:030:25:07

Unfortunately, the resemblance doesn't end there.

0:25:070:25:10

If you go to our website, you will find a special Children In Need

0:25:100:25:13

connecting wall and a link to the Children In Need donation website.

0:25:130:25:17

Please give something if you can.

0:25:170:25:19

Children In Need is helping to make a positive change

0:25:190:25:22

to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people

0:25:220:25:25

across the UK. But I'm going to make

0:25:250:25:27

a negative change to your lives teams, with more questions.

0:25:270:25:31

It's round four, missing vowels. We've taken the vowels out of well-known names, phrases or sayings

0:25:310:25:36

and squidged up the consonants and I want to know what are those disguised clues?

0:25:360:25:40

Fingers of buzzers. The first group are all legal defences.

0:25:400:25:45

Mistaken identity. Correct.

0:25:480:25:50

Moral coercion. I'm afraid that's not it. Baldings?

0:25:550:25:59

Marital coercion. Marital coercion. Next clue.

0:25:590:26:02

Necessity. Not it, I'm afraid. Scrabblers, do you know?

0:26:050:26:08

Insanity. Insanity. Next clue.

0:26:080:26:12

Diminished responsibility. That's right. Next category.

0:26:140:26:17

Sticky-backed plastic. That's right. That's the Welsh version.

0:26:220:26:26

Here's one I made earlier. Yep.

0:26:280:26:30

Does nobody remember... Scrabblers?

0:26:370:26:40

Asking... No. No. Baldings, do you know?

0:26:400:26:43

Ask and let the... That's not it, either.

0:26:430:26:46

It's ask an adult to help you. Oh! Next clue.

0:26:460:26:50

Get down, Shep. Those were the days.

0:26:570:27:00

Next category...

0:27:000:27:02

Batteries not included. Correct

0:27:050:27:07

No, that's not it. Baldings, do you know?

0:27:120:27:14

It's something assembly... THEME MUSIC PLAYS

0:27:140:27:17

That's not it, either. Adult assembly required. Too late now

0:27:190:27:24

It's the end of the quiz and the Scrabblers finish with 20 points.

0:27:240:27:28

The Balding team finish with 20 It's not the end of the quiz.

0:27:280:27:32

It's a tiebreak. How exciting! In a tiebreak,

0:27:320:27:35

it will be captains only.

0:27:350:27:38

There will be one missing vowels clue.

0:27:380:27:41

If you buzz in with the right answer, you've won.

0:27:410:27:44

If you buzz in with the wrong answer, the other team wins by default.

0:27:440:27:48

So, Alice and Clare, in a situation destined to have you both arguing for decades,

0:27:480:27:55

fingers on buzzers. Good luck. Here's your tiebreak clue.

0:27:550:27:59

Baldings. Better late than never.

0:28:020:28:05

It is better late than never!

0:28:050:28:09

And with that, you have won the match for your team.

0:28:090:28:13

A very creditable 20 points for the Scrabblers,

0:28:130:28:15

but just one point ahead on a tiebreak,

0:28:150:28:17

the Balding team have won the day. Well done.

0:28:170:28:21

Well done, all of you. Excellent quizzing and thank you so much

0:28:210:28:23

for coming to give your time for this excellent charity appeal.

0:28:230:28:27

Thank you for watching, thank you especially if you're able to make a donation

0:28:270:28:31

to the brilliant Children In Need. But the quiz is over.

0:28:310:28:34

The only rounds left are the sandwiches in the green room,

0:28:340:28:37

which means, although the show is finished, for our teams, the ordeal is just beginning. Goodbye.
