0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello and welcome to Only Connect - the semifinals!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Our two teams tonight have been waiting for this moment for weeks -
0:00:27 > 0:00:30or, if you're watching successive repeats on iPlayer,
0:00:30 > 0:00:31minutes.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34It's not just their brains but their bodies that are ready
0:00:34 > 0:00:36in preparation for this - loins have been girded,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40nerves steeled, and appendixes read, re-read and cross-referenced.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43After this, we'll know who is in the final - at which point,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46hearts will be gladdened, spleens vented, and no doubt
0:00:46 > 0:00:48livers battered.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50But right now, everyone is in a very sober frame of mind.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I say everyone - I mean, everyone else.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55So, let's say hello to,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57on my right, Didier Bruyere, a senior scientist
0:00:57 > 0:00:59and William Boyd fan, who won
0:00:59 > 0:01:02a Lyon poetry competition in his youth.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Scott Dawson -
0:01:04 > 0:01:06a data processor and sudoku enthusiast
0:01:06 > 0:01:09with a talent for making Staffordshire oatcakes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11And their captain, Jamie Dodding -
0:01:11 > 0:01:14an economics and politics graduate, who could name
0:01:14 > 0:01:17every single world capital by the age of five.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21United by a craving for Cabernet, they are the Oenophiles.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24You haven't dropped a game yet - what's the secret of your success?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I think we've been pretty lucky. We've been doing
0:01:27 > 0:01:29things like buzzing in at the wrong time
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and managing to scrape the answer, etc, so I think
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- we're riding our luck, and we'll hopefully continue.- Tonight,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38you are destined to meet, on my left,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Hywel Carver, an engineering graduate who is working
0:01:41 > 0:01:44to improve access to the internet for blind people,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Michael Wallace, a statistics blogger and double bassist
0:01:46 > 0:01:49who's learning to play the guitar, and their captain,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Jamie Karran, a fan fiction writer
0:01:51 > 0:01:53with a degree in the history of medicine
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and a passion for Japanese cartoons.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58United by an appetite for Operation,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00they are the Board Gamers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Jamie, you've taken a scenic route.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04You beat the Globetrotters, lost to the Lasletts
0:02:04 > 0:02:06and then beat the Science Editors to get to the semifinal.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Which game did you enjoy most?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Probably the one against the Science Editors, because we were the most
0:02:11 > 0:02:15nervous going into that game, but we still managed to scrape a victory.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Or, well, win.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17We're going to start with Round One.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19That's where I want to know simply what's
0:02:19 > 0:02:22the connection between four apparently random clues.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Board Gamers, you won the toss,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26but you decided to put the Oenophiles in first.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So, Oenophiles, you're choosing first.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32What do you think the first question of the semifinal should be?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35French translation would be quite nice, I think.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37OK, I happen to know that one of them is that.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38You've just got to guess which.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Right. I'll guess it's "Lyon", Lion. - Right first time.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44OK. The "Lyon", or Lion, question.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Oh, no, my mistake. It's Music.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So, what is the connection between these clues.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Here's the first.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53# Hey, kids, let me tell you
0:02:53 > 0:02:55# How I met your mum
0:02:57 > 0:02:59# We were dancing and romancing... #
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Next, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03MUSIC: "Canon In D Major" by Pachelbel
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's Handel, no?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07MUSIC DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Next.- Yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Next, please.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15# I was minding my business
0:03:15 > 0:03:17# I was lifting some lead off
0:03:17 > 0:03:21# The roof of the Holy Name church
0:03:21 > 0:03:25# It was worthwhile living a laughable life
0:03:25 > 0:03:28# Just to set my eyes on the blistering sight... #
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Three seconds.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31BELL
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Do they all mention football managers?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Not it, I'm afraid. So we give a blast of the final clue
0:03:36 > 0:03:38to the Board Gamers.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42MUSIC: "Zadok The Priest" by Handel
0:03:42 > 0:03:44That's probably enough.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47So, we think these are all ranks in the clergy.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49We've got Zadok The Priest,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Pachelbel's Canon and two others. - Two other things we don't know.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yes, Handel's Zadok The Priest,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Pachelbel's Canon In D Major,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and two more. Which one did you
0:03:58 > 0:03:59think was about football managers?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01We thought the third one might be
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Frankly Mr Shankly by The Smiths.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It was actually a very good guess.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07It is The Smiths, but it's Vicar In A Tutu.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And the first one, The Dean And I by 10cc.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Well done for the bonus point.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13And your turn to choose a question.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Eye of Horus, please.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16The Eye of Horus.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18What is the connection between these clues?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Here's the first.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Next.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Maybe that's when it was Hollywoodland.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33The sign said Hollywoodland, maybe.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- I think next.- I think next.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Next.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Plot to assassinate De Gaulle?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43That must have had a nickname, but I don't know what it is.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- I think next, as well.- Next.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I think those are triffids.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Are they all books by John Wyndham?- Yeah, OK.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I think they're "Day Of..." things.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Oh, yeah, Day Of The Jackal,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Day Of The Triffids.- Three seconds.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Right, OK. Last-minute idea. Are they all "Day Of The" something?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Carnivorous walking plants, Day Of The Triffids by John Wyndham.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Plot to assassinate DeGaulle
0:05:05 > 0:05:08we think is Day Of The Jackal, maybe.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Hollywood in the Depression...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Nathanael West's Day Of The Locust.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15But the first clue's wrong, sorry.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16No, I'm joking.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18They are all "Day Of The" something.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20The Laytons in India, 1942.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It's the Day Of The Scorpion from the Raj Quartet.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24But they are all "The Day Of The" something.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Very well done.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Oenophiles, your turn for a question.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Two Reeds, please.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30These are going to be pictures.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32What do they have in common?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Here's the first.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Next, please.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Romania in a green shirt.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Is it football-related?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Football-related...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Next? Next, please.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Black shirts?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Yeah, it's movements, isn't it?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Blue shirts?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06But what's the link?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- They're all.... Blue shirts...- OK.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10BELL
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Are they all political movements named after shirts?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15So, Blueshirts, Greenshirts,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Blackshirts in Italy.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18So they're all...?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Fascist movements?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22That's it. They're all fascist
0:06:22 > 0:06:24political movements in those countries.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Well done, that's two points to you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Board Gamers, it's your turn.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Twisted Flax.- All right.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32What do the four clues of the Twisted Flax have in common?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Here's the first.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37They're all flu types.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39H1N1 is bird flu.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Could it be birds?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Could be birds, could be flu.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I think they're all strains of flu.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49No, no. I think we need more.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Birds or flu?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Really? But no, H1N1 is going to be specific to a virus.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's not going to be a type of bird.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58It's definitely bird flu.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00It could be birds, not flu.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01OK, next.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Leeloo, The Fifth Element.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Isn't it a Terry Pratchett...?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08No, that's in...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Three seconds.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13BELL
0:07:13 > 0:07:17They've all been recreated from a small amount of them
0:07:17 > 0:07:20that was found. So, Leeloo in The Fifth Element is found as just
0:07:20 > 0:07:22a hand, and she is remade into a whole person.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25H1N1 is a flu. Well, it's a virus.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27So, I think that's recreated
0:07:27 > 0:07:29from a small amount of it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30I can't take it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33That is an ingenious guess, but it's not one that I can accept.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36So, I'm going to show the next two clues to the
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Oenophiles for a possible bonus point.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41LSD, Frankenstein's monster...
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I can't let you have a long chat.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Do you have an answer?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Tested by using...
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Created by doctors?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48No, that's far too long.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50They've all been created by doctors.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Well, that's not it.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54No. They are all things that have
0:07:54 > 0:07:56escaped from a laboratory
0:07:56 > 0:07:58or can be said to have done.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00H1N1, not bird flu, but swine flu.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02The character played by Milla Jovovich
0:08:02 > 0:08:03escaped from a lab, as did LSD,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05and Frankenstein's monster,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07of course, also made his escape
0:08:07 > 0:08:08from a laboratory.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oenophiles, it's your turn
0:08:10 > 0:08:12to make the last choice of the round.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Can we have Water, please?
0:08:13 > 0:08:14You certainly may.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17What is the connection between these clues?
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Here's the first.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Lateral thinking?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Lateral thinking?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Next, please.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Is it a cap? Different caps?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Do you have a black cap?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Yeah, yeah.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38BELL
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Is the connection caps?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I am going to give you one more go.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Coloured caps.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I can't give it to you, so I'll show the next two clues to
0:08:46 > 0:08:49the Board Gamers for a possible bonus point.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- They're blue?- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52They all have blue hats.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53It is blue hats.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54The thing about De Bono, of course,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56there are the six thinking hats.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Specifically the thinking manager
0:08:58 > 0:08:59would be in the blue one.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Unlucky, Oenophiles.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You get the bonus point, Board Gamers,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04and you get the last question. No choice.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05It's got to be the Horned Viper.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08What do these clues have in common?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Here's the first.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That the flower arranging.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15I know that's hanami.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17That might be fireworks.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Next.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Lester Burnham dreams.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Is it a poem? I don't know.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Next? Next.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Beauty And The Beast.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:09:32 > 0:09:34What changes him?
0:09:34 > 0:09:38A rose. Flowers, rose, in a jar.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Shall we say flowers?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Shall we do next?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Next.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46So that's poppies...
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Three seconds.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49BELL
0:09:49 > 0:09:51OK. Flowers is the connection.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Tell me something else.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Is Lester Burnham in American Beauty?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- He is.- Covered in rose petals.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59That's it. I'm going to take red flowers.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Or petals, actually. Falling petals.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03But the Japanese tradition of hanami, I think
0:10:03 > 0:10:05you got confused about flower arranging.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07This is a festival at the beginning
0:10:07 > 0:10:09of April to do with
0:10:09 > 0:10:10cherry blossoms and rose petals.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Lester Burnham in American Beauty
0:10:12 > 0:10:14dreams about the falling rose petals.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Beauty And The Beast, of course, about the red roses.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19And poppies in the Festival of Remembrance. So, red flowers.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I will take flowers or petals. Well done.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24At the end of Round One, then,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28the Oenophiles have got two points, the Board Gamers have four.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Round Two is about sequences.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35The teams may see a maximum of three clues before telling me,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I hope, what comes fourth.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Oenophiles, you'll be going first again.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Which question would you like?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Twisted Flax, please.- Twisted Flax.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44What would the fourth clue be
0:10:44 > 0:10:46in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Something about genetics?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Next, please.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59It's not a song title of any sort, is it?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Tricks or something?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Say next.- Next, please.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Parrots.- Monty Python.- Parrots.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15The Norwegian parrot sketch.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Shuffled off this mortal coil?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Yes.- Is it?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21BUZZ
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Is it shuffled off this mortal coil?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I'm afraid it's not. A bonus chance for the Board Gamers.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- We think it's ex.- Ex-parrot.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well, ex. It's the Monty Python dead parrot sketch.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31It is, but that's not it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34It is the next line in the Monty Python dead parrot sketch,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38but it would be, "Expired and gone to meet its maker."
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Tough.- So, no points there.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Board Gamers, your turn to choose.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- The Horned Viper, please.- OK.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46What's the fourth in this snaky sequence?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Here's the first.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53We have to go with next. Next.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Four cards equals settlement?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Is that not Settlers of Catan?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Yeah, it does. Three cards is something else.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03What's two cards?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05A road.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- Really? Are we really...?- Yes.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Is five a city?- Yes, five is a city.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Three or two wheat. I promise you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- It's two cards - road.- OK.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16OK. We'll have to...
0:12:16 > 0:12:18THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:12:20 > 0:12:21BELL
0:12:21 > 0:12:23OK, well, we think this is a board game one.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I'll throw it over to Mr Carver.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It's 2 cards: Road.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- The answer is 2 cards: Road.- Nice!
0:12:29 > 0:12:30This is very nice for you!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32You've managed to get a games question.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Which game is it about?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Settlers of Catan.- Of course it is!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Your favourite, the Settlers of Catan. That's it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41And going down from five cards to two in the sequence,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43for two cards, you can build a road.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Well done.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oenophiles, let's hope the next one's a wine question.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49If I wrote them, they all would be. So, you never know.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- We'll go for Two Reeds, then. - Two Reeds.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54These are going to be picture clues.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57What would you expect to see in the last picture? Here's the first.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02A keyboard.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Is it a Commodore keyboard?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Could be.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07OK, next.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Next, please.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- What would be next?- I'm not sure.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21The Devil Wears Prada. Next, please.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26A tape deck.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29A cassette?
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Keyboard.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Looks like a hard disk, or a cassette.- Three seconds.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38BELL
0:13:38 > 0:13:40We'll go for a hard drive.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44So, a possible bonus point for the Board Gamers.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Hmm. We think the last one will be
0:13:45 > 0:13:47something which connotates eight.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49So a spider with eight legs.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51You are not correct, but why do you think that?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Cos we think that's a Commodore 64,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56then that is a 32-year-old woman,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59a 16-bit game and then a spider.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Oh, I see. I like your thinking.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Where you went wrong is in that horrible second clue. It's so nasty.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08It denotes the film 27 Dresses.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10So, it's 64, 27.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Then you've got an eight track cassette.- Oh, man!
0:14:13 > 0:14:14So, 64, 27, 8 is cubed numbers.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Four cubed, three cubed,
0:14:16 > 0:14:17two cubed and, of course
0:14:17 > 0:14:19one cubed would be one.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21We've got a picture of The One Show.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Board Gamers, see if you can find something as horrible in there.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Yes, Lion.- Lion. OK.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28What's the fourth in this sequence?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Here's the first.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:14:38 > 0:14:40We need time to think. Next.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Have we got to go next, to give us time to think?
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Next.
0:14:53 > 0:14:5525 to 10?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58HE WHISPERS INAUDIBLY
0:14:58 > 0:15:00The number of... The way they're written,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03it's got to be clocks or the number of arrows,
0:15:03 > 0:15:04the number of things that are...
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- It's the number of things... - Three seconds.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10BELL
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- You have to answer this.- I think it's 8, then a right arrow, then 7.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18That is the right answer.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Why is it 8 arrow 7?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Unless it's a massive coincidence, I think
0:15:24 > 0:15:29it's the number of lines that make up the numbers,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31so there are seven of those lines to make up 8
0:15:31 > 0:15:35and then eight lines in 10 and ten lines in 25.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37That's it, it's segments, is what you would say.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Well done, you worked that out, really, with one second to go.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Very well done.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Back to you, Oenophiles, to pick a question.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Water, please.- Water, OK.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49What is the fourth in this sequence? Here is the first.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53- Any idea what that is?- No.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Next, please.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Oh, God. What do you think?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Harry Potterish. Don't really know.- No, no idea.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It's not, erm...
0:16:05 > 0:16:07What do you call it, quidditch?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14The first one's not "sorting hat".
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Next, please.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Is this the name of each of the films?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23So Severus Snape was the Half-Blood Prince,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25what was the last film called?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Three seconds.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30BELL
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Um, something that represents The Deathly Hallows.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Which would be what?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Some sort of object that has magical connotations?
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Not the answer, I'm afraid, so Board Gamers, do you know it?- Yes.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49A wand, an invisibility cloak and a ring
0:16:49 > 0:16:51are the three Deathly Hallows.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53That is it, a wand, a cloak and a ring,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55or a stone that's found in a ring.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58What can I do? It's for a place in the final.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59It's a double thing you need to know.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04It's not just items in the title of Harry Potter books or films.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Also, what are they? Who is the Half-Blood Prince? Severus Snape.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09What are the Deathly Hallows?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12An invisibility cloak, a wand and a stone set in a ring.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Good knowledge, Board Gamers.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17You also get to have the final question of the round,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19which is the Eye of Horus.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26THEY CONFER
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Next.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Next.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Could it just be income?- Income?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48What have we got? We've got VAT, income...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52That's mostly likely.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It's the things that are going to be taxed.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57"Profits from trade or profession" is income, so it's got to be VAT, right?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00No, no, cos it's things...
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Three seconds.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- BELL - It's not profits.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Er, income.- Have another go.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Salary, pay...- Money for work done.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I can take "salaries", because it's all income.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Do you know what the connection is? - They are tax and a letter.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Tax schedules.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Taxing on certain sorts of income and E would be "salaries",
0:18:21 > 0:18:23that specific part of income.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Well done.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27So, at the end of Round Two, the Oenophiles have been a bit unlucky.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30They've got two points. The Board Gamers are ahead with 12.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34I know what you're thinking.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36You're thinking, "This show's too easy."
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Don't worry, it's about to get harder.
0:18:38 > 0:18:4116 clues this time - it's the Connecting Wall.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Your turn to go first now, Board Gamers,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45and you've got a choice, Lion or Water?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49OK, I think as a big cat lover, I have to go for Lion.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51You do usually choose the Lion. That again.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53You've got two and a half minutes to solve it,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55starting now.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Is Libertador type of a matador-type thing? No, no.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Ig Nobel's a prize, the Darwin Prize, these are bad awards.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Golden Raspberry's a bad award.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11So it's got to be those four plus something else, I think.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Turnip?!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14No, no, Golden Raspberry and Darwin, Ig Nobel,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17those three plus something else. We'll look for something else.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Turnip sounds like a thing you'd get for bad.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21No, no, we know these three are bad awards.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Pigasus is one letter off Pegasus, isn't it?- Yep.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- El Cid?- El Salvador. - Yep, keep going, keep going.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32El Greco is a painter.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34El Cordobes, maybe?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36You haven't got Golden Raspberry in there.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Oh, sorry.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Shall we try the "els"?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45OK, El Cid, El Greco, El Salvador.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47And then El Libertador? Nope.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Sorry, you're the presser. - Goose Green.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Quick, quick, quick, press these groups.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54El Salvador and then something else.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Goose Green.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- What about ports?- Darwin, Stanley was an explorer,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Darwin was an explorer, El Cid was an explorer - possibly.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It could be cities in Australia.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11We've got Port Douglas and Port Stanley...
0:20:11 > 0:20:17- Port Stella? Port Libertador? - Darwin is a port, probably.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Have we really tried all of the bad awards?- Yes.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26I'm pretty confident it's going to be... Er, it's going to be...
0:20:26 > 0:20:30No, I think it's going to be Turnip.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- Estella... Stella is a drink.- Pigasus! Right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- El Salvador, El Greco... - I've done that.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Have you mashed up everything for that?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44No, I haven't, but we've not got much time.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:20:49 > 0:20:5130 seconds.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54I think if we see any groups with Stanley
0:20:54 > 0:20:56and Darwin, we should go for explorers.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Those are all names, Orlando also sounds like a name, Stella...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So what's our fourth group?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Cos we've got two more groups.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Goose Green sounds like a place
0:21:10 > 0:21:11but Grinling sounds like
0:21:11 > 0:21:12a monster or something.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Goose Green is another word
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- for something.- Bad, it's going bad.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21And that's it, your time is up.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24So, you found a group, that's a point, what about the connection?
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Turnip, Golden Raspberry, Pigasus, Ig Nobel, or Ignoble.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- They're all negative awards. - Or alternative awards.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Yes, they're sarcastic or tongue-in-cheek prizes.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Ig Nobel's not so bad, it's for slightly daft research.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Noodle floppiness and things. - That sort of thing.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43But you can get extra points for connections
0:21:43 > 0:21:46in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- No, no, places in Australia, I think.- OK.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56No, ports.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Don't worry, they're neither - they're settlements
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- in the Falkland Islands. - Brilliant(!)- That's what they are.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Going to go ports again?- No, I think we should go with explorers,
0:22:09 > 0:22:10because we think the next one is El.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Explorers?- Don't worry, they're neither.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15It's people with the surname Gibbons.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19And what about this last group - Libertador, Cordobes, Greco, Cid.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Merely based on El Greco and El Cid,
0:22:21 > 0:22:22we think those are "El" people.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24That is right, people with the
0:22:24 > 0:22:27nickname "El" known to the English.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So one point you get for the group you found and two for the
0:22:30 > 0:22:33connections, a total of three - not bad at this stage of the game.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Time to bring back the Oenophiles now,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37see if we can find equally horrible clues for them.
0:22:37 > 0:22:4116 new ones still need sorting into four groups of four.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43OK, winos, the other team took the Lion wall,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45so you've got Water, your favourite.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Two and a half minutes to solve it, starting...now.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Wolfenden Report...
0:22:52 > 0:22:55THEY MURMUR
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Do we know who Stroupach is?
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Could it be people working...? Nanny, footman, butler...
0:23:10 > 0:23:12O'Hara...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Stroupach, isn't it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- Do you want to go for...? I'll put some in and you keep looking.- OK.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21INCORRECT BUZZER
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Another one, char...
0:23:28 > 0:23:34OK, let's just get another one out the way, then. Cuppa, char, brew...
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Maybe Rosie?- Yeah - no.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37INCORRECT BUZZER
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Wolfenden Report, Butler Report...
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Hutton Report.- What?- Hutton Report.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53And Taylor Report. INCORRECT BUZZER
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Let's go for them again,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Franks Report. INCORRECT BUZZER
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Wolfenden Report's got to be one. Franks Report has got to be one.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06- Hutton...- There was a Taylor Report.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09That's one done, right.
0:24:09 > 0:24:17So we've got these brews again. A cup of Rosie, a cuppa, a brew, a char.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18INCORRECT BUZZER
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Sorry, you keep going, guys.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33- Cuppa, char, brew...- General Butler.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34INCORRECT BUZZER
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Is Footman a butterfly or something?
0:24:36 > 0:24:41No, a footman, a valet, a butler.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Butler Report, we could lose that one, possibly. What's a Stroupach?
0:24:48 > 0:24:55We've had that a couple of times. A char is...
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Char lady.- Char lady.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Nanny, butler, char...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03INCORRECT BUZZER
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Ten seconds.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Oh, Wilkes! Gone With The Wind,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14O'Hara, Hamilton, Butler...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16That's it, you're out of time.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19But you found a group, I'll give you another point
0:25:19 > 0:25:22if you can tell me what connects Franks, Hutton, Wolfenden, Taylor.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- They're all reports. - They are all UK government reports.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26And more points available for the connections
0:25:26 > 0:25:28in the groups you didn't find.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Let's resolve the wall.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35All characters from Gone With The Wind.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37They are, you spotted that too late,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40the nightmare is Butler just skittering about between the groups.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45All servant-type roles.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48That's it, they're domestic servants of the old school.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54They're all nicknames for tea.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58They mean tea, it was that second clue, it's a Scottish term for tea.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02But well done, you found a group and you got four more connections,
