0:00:27 > 0:00:31Our connections are still as obtuse
0:00:31 > 0:00:36our wall as messed up as a sensitive teenage lover dumped in public
0:00:36 > 0:00:42and our final round has as many missing vowels as the text messages they send pleading to be taken back.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46I'm joined by two box-fresh teams
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Jake Laslett, a teaching assistant
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and a passion for ultimate frisbee.

0:01:20 > 0:01:25I'm basically here to keep these two
0:01:25 > 0:01:32Are you captain because of natural Because I'm their dad. Yes.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36I have no natural authority. You are playing, on my left,

0:01:44 > 0:01:50No relation this time, Neil Morgan, an airline pilot with an interest
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and collector of unreleased songs.
0:01:53 > 0:01:59And their captain, Captain Paul Judge, an airline captain who enjoys
0:01:59 > 0:02:05solving crosswords and singing
0:02:05 > 0:02:12they are the Pilots. Do you think the international lifestyle will be helpful in the quiz?
0:02:12 > 0:02:19international airports and beers of
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Do you like to be called Captain?
0:02:24 > 0:02:30I insist on it at all times myself.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36We'll start with Round One. I simply want to know the connection between four apparently random clues.
0:02:40 > 0:02:48The Lasletts won the toss, but decided to put the Pilots in first, so choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53Water, please. The first question
0:03:04 > 0:03:09It could be. Dogs' licences?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14I think we'll have the next, please.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Capital offences? Could be.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Acts that were passed in parliament.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36You could have come in after
0:03:36 > 0:03:411998, finally, a Human Rights Act.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Lasletts, choose a hieroglyph.
0:03:46 > 0:03:56Eye of Horus. An excellent choice. What is the connection between
0:03:56 > 0:04:06Can we have the next one, please?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Coming in after three clues,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30In the mentioned countries, they are all known as English.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37White muffin is an English muffin. I don't know the other two.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41In Italy, they call a trifle Zuppa
0:04:41 > 0:04:43No. What's wrong with Dutch?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I tried to teach myself Dutch. I'm not as good at dramatic languages.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51That's an amazing answer. I thought
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Epsom salts, known as Engels Zout.
0:04:54 > 0:05:01I apologise for my Dutch accent
0:05:04 > 0:05:10What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13That could be anything. Hyacinth?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Former name of Chennai is Madras.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38Curries. That is correct for two points. Can you be more specific?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Former name of Chennai was Madras.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53This is a food of the world
0:05:53 > 0:05:56That last clue. Clay oven, tandoor.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Foods of the world, your specialist subject. Well done for two points.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Can I have the lion, please?
0:06:08 > 0:06:14Everyone's so relieved because Not yet. Another normal question.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Can we have the next one, please?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Types of song? Or ice creams.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Next one? Next one, please.
0:06:48 > 0:06:55You don't know the first one? I should do. Is it a Calypso?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58But what sort? Is it a flower?
0:07:03 > 0:07:10Your choice, mate. OK, I'll go for
0:07:10 > 0:07:20You won the 50/50! It's not music.
0:07:48 > 0:08:07Yeah. Happy? Character names.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Number two is Pamela Anderson
0:08:16 > 0:08:22That's about as far as I can go
0:08:22 > 0:08:28CJ Parker. And Amanda Donohoe playing CJ Lamb in LA Law. OK.
0:08:28 > 0:08:34any longer, Lasletts. The horned
0:08:34 > 0:08:38It's the music question. Enjoy yourselves. Here's the first clue.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I don't know who that is. No.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21It is whistling. Should have had it. You think you should have come in
0:09:21 > 0:09:26What did you hear? Fratellis,
0:09:29 > 0:09:34You recognised Whistle While You
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Marni Nixon and Rex Thompson.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Did you recognise it, Pilots? No.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Barbara Cook, Anyone Can Whistle.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01On to Round Two, sequences. I want to know what comes fourth
0:10:01 > 0:10:05The teams may see up to three clues.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11Pilots, you're going first again. Water again? Yeah, water, please.
0:10:11 > 0:10:18OK, these are picture clues. What would you expect to see in the final picture? Here's the first.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21OK, that's the pampas area.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Patagonia? Patagonia, yeah.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34That's the Gobi Desert, isn't it?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56We're going to go with Sahara Desert. You get three points!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13The largest non-polar deserts.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Swearing. "I told you to turn left!
0:11:24 > 0:11:40If you get on a route you know very well, you wouldn't need one,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48but you get the three points.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Lasletts, it's your turn to choose. I think I'll go for lion, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59OK. What is the fourth in this sequence? Here is the first.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Can we have the next one, please?
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Hong Kong. It's Chris Patten.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19What positions has he held?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Home Secretary. Goodness me!
0:12:38 > 0:12:44although I like your chutzpah
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Pilots, do you want to have a go?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Commission? BBC Commissioner.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55It's jobs that Chris Patten has held,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Chris Patten - MP, Governor of Hong Kong, EC Commissioner,
0:13:06 > 0:13:11And what a very wise, likeable
0:13:19 > 0:13:24What is the fourth in this sequence?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Dock. Stevedore. Go for more. Can we have the next, please?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Ringman. Foreman, Longman, Ringman.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07The answer is not ringmaster,
0:14:07 > 0:14:12The only thing I can think of is midshipman. That's not it either.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Why would it be midshipman? Are they positions on a ship?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21They are not. What these are are old names for the fingers.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Finer nicknames. Foreman, Longman, Ringman and lastly Littleman.
0:14:30 > 0:14:44the medical finger, which sounds
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Gilroy? Ah, they are... Yes.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:15:33 > 0:15:40Either her names after she got
0:15:40 > 0:15:46I can't allow this long chat to go on. They are landlords or licensees of the Rovers Return
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Next would be Vera Duckworth.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55No points for anyone there. No fingers, no Coronation Street.
0:15:55 > 0:16:01These are gaps in knowledge. Pilots? It's got to be eye of Horus, please.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06OK, what is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16of mellow fruitfulness? Could be.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27I think it's mellow fruitfulness.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35And why would that be? Cos I think that's next in the sequence!
0:16:35 > 0:16:41But...but...the Ode to Autumn you're thinking of, that's a sonnet.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Not the answer, I'm afraid, Pilots.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50There's a bonus chance, Lasletts. Is it Winter of Discontent?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00This is from a sentence that begins... Groan when you know it.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14"Season of Light, Season of the Winter of Despair." From?
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Faltering a bit in Round Two.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Oh, I know! We actually did this.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Is that Richard Burton again?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57The answer IS six, Richard Burton.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00And the missing clue is five,
0:18:04 > 0:18:09who married Elizabeth Taylor.
0:18:09 > 0:18:17Do you have a favourite Taylor husband? There's not many I know.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22so Richard Burton is a thing there.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25They have a Burton Taylor Theatre.
0:18:29 > 0:18:50I put on a series of terrible plays at the Burton Taylor Theatre.
0:19:03 > 0:19:0916 jumbled clues that need sorting into four connected groups of four.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13We're 15 minutes into a new series.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18the connecting walls with the teams?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Or buy stuff that's disappointing
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Lion or water. The Pilots have had the water, so we should this time.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36OK, you have 2½ minutes to solve
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Yeah. Three strike and you're out
0:19:55 > 0:20:01Ironside, Cannon and Rockford are detectives. What are the other four?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05They are snooker shots! Are they?
0:20:12 > 0:20:18Well, that was just too easy, wasn't it? I hope you brought
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Let's look for those bonus points.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Glace, eclair, vent, neige.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33Weather conditions in French. Yes, your linguistic skills

0:20:40 > 0:20:44breast, pocket, lapel, cuff.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Parts of a jacket or shirts.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Shaft, Rockford, Ironside, Cannon.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02These are all TV detectives.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08All American TV detectives?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Baulk, bridge, plant, kiss.
0:21:13 > 0:21:20That's my area. Snooker shots.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25A kiss is not quite a shot.
0:21:31 > 0:21:42above the D, the bridge you use to shoot over another ball,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Are you good at snooker? No.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49You're terrible. I do pool. Four points for finding the groups,
0:21:49 > 0:21:55four bonus points for the connection and two points extra for getting them all right. A maximum 10 points.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01Time to bring in the Pilots to have a go at the connecting wall.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05into four connected groups of four.
0:22:05 > 0:22:15Thank you for jetting back.

0:22:33 > 0:22:46ABC, Talk Talk, Visage, Soft Cell.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Three strikes and you're out now.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56And there'll be another one.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Old paint... Yes, peel. Keep your
0:23:15 > 0:23:19And what the hell's Lebara? Do you want to do giffgaff, then?
0:23:19 > 0:23:24Oh, we've got time. giffgaff's
0:23:24 > 0:23:30Let's make sure of the other groups. Soft Cell, Talk Talk, Visage, ABC. '8s bands? New Romantic bands?
0:23:30 > 0:23:36as winking, as pie, as falling off
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Lebara, old paint, sticker, eyes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Keep them peeled, stickers get
0:23:52 > 0:23:59No, no, what does that leave?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02So Lebara and giffgaff. Try that.

0:24:21 > 0:24:26Can you not get a bit of Radio Two?
0:24:26 > 0:24:32No. Not really. You probably could, but technically we shouldn't.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Easy as. That's exactly it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Easy as winking, easy as pie, or, as we say, easy as Pi to 150 digits,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Lebara, EE, Three, giffgaff.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58We think they're all mobile telephone companies. Networks.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Old paint, orange, sticker, eyes.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13Things that need peeled. Keep your
0:25:13 > 0:25:21You fell into our little trap
0:25:21 > 0:25:27four for the connections, two for getting them all right, so ten.
0:26:10 > 0:26:29Dame Ellen MacArthur. Correct.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Next - one-word compositions
0:27:32 > 0:27:36That last one was Rodeo and Copland,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39but the bell signals the end.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44After the shocking revelation that they don't know any American states,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47the Pilots finish with 21 points!
0:27:47 > 0:27:49But the winners are the Lasletts
0:27:56 > 0:28:00You are still in the series. You just have a slower route.
0:28:00 > 0:28:07You can still make the final.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Lasletts, you are on the fast track. We'll see you again as well.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17Everyone gets a second chance. The bad news is we'll be using
