0:00:39 > 0:00:42I'm about to blow any plans our teams might have for covert missions
0:00:42 > 0:00:45by introducing them to the nation.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51a business analyst with an interest in architectural photography,
0:00:51 > 0:00:56who has ridden both species of camel in their respective countries
0:00:56 > 0:00:58a university research fellow
0:00:58 > 0:01:03in international conflict analysis, who's learning to play the ukulele.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12who was once rescued at sea after being stranded in a thunderstorm.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16United by a passion for world travel, they are the Globetrotters.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23our own individual weaknesses,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25but we cover for each other
0:01:25 > 0:01:29so hopefully nothing'll come up
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You are playing tonight, on my left,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Hywel Carver, an engineering graduate and accomplished musician,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39who's halfway through a PhD on simulating blood flow in the head.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01United by a passion for Pictionary,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04How will a love of board games help you with this particular game?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08to the intellectual side of things
0:02:08 > 0:02:10but the kind of games we like
0:02:10 > 0:02:17things like The Settlers of Catan
0:02:17 > 0:02:20but then, to play board games, you also need to be sort of sociable
0:02:20 > 0:02:22because you need to talk to others
0:02:24 > 0:02:27but it's that intersectionality
0:02:30 > 0:02:37It's like listening to myself talk,
0:02:37 > 0:03:03Let's start with Round One.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Ah, the music question immediately.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15# We have no memory tonight
0:03:15 > 0:03:17# We have the sun in our hair #
0:03:17 > 0:03:22I would rather go blind, babe #
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I don't recognise that at all.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33# Love don't live here any more
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Is that the Brand New Heavies?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54They're all, erm, related by colour.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Can you be any more specific?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Professor Green... Jazz Orchestra.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Ah, I see where you've gone wrong.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18OK. But they are connected by colour, so very well done. You get a point.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19And it's over to the Globetrotters.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23We'll have the eye of Horus, please.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Busingen: Switzerland. Any ideas?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Possibly, yes. Maybe? Next.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50They've gone between two countries.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Monaco's probably part of France
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Shall we take the last one?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Er, we think they are, erm...
0:05:09 > 0:05:13is the name of a town or a city
0:05:13 > 0:05:16is where they used to be located
0:05:18 > 0:05:21So, you're thinking that Swansea
0:05:21 > 0:05:24It doesn't make much sense, I agree!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26How would it have got there?!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29We've got the wrong crux, perhaps!
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Not the answer, I'm afraid. I'll go over to the Board Gamers for a possible bonus point.
0:05:40 > 0:05:48used to be in England? No -
0:05:48 > 0:05:52is now in England? Yes. Is it not?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02OK. Because you'd have been going
0:06:09 > 0:06:13..that they're football teams
0:06:13 > 0:06:16That is what they are. Sorry!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20playing in non-native leagues.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Too late, though, I'm afraid.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Swansea City is a Welsh side
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Busingen - a German side playing in Switzerland, Monaco plays in France,
0:06:31 > 0:06:36I think it's in the Borders, but it's technically English.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So they are all football teams
0:06:39 > 0:06:43No bonus point for you, then, but you may choose your own question.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Horned viper. OK. What is the
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Invisible paint. The next one
0:07:14 > 0:07:19I think we need the next one,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31They're all things of the order
0:07:31 > 0:07:34such that they're inventions that are ridiculous or wouldn't work,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I am going to pass it over to the Globetrotters for a possible bonus.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46We were going to say fool's errands.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49You're both in the right area.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53They're not all oxymoronic, because iron bird seed, you could have it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57manufactured by the ACME company
0:07:57 > 0:08:00and bought by Wile E. Coyote.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07you're just supposed to add water,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14and is immediately run over.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16when he uses the bird seed?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19so Road Runner can't run fast?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It all goes hilariously wrong.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27He feeds it to The Road Runner
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and then he has this giant magnet
0:08:30 > 0:08:38but instead the magnet draws him into the path of a train! Ahh!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42but that, I think, is honestly the funniest thing that's ever happened!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55it went on the stock market? Yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59the French newspaper or something.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And you are absolutely right.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Isn't that terrifying? 1804 - a billion people in the world,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40a billion people just in China! Yes.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44when they reached one billion.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Very well done. You get the bonus
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Is "Professor" his real name? No!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14No! Shall we do the next...?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Er, yeah, we'll take the next.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21That's Prince Naseem. So they've taken titles for their first names.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35They are using titles in their names they have not actually earned.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39singer or rapper of some sort,
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Queen Latifah, Prince Naseem Hamed,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and the first picture is of whom?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49the wife of Lyndon B Johnson.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54So, yes, all using titles to which they are not entitled. Well done.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58the Board Gamers have got 1 point, the Globetrotters are ahead with 4.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Round Two is the Sequences Round. I want to know what comes fourth
0:12:05 > 0:12:09You may see a maximum of three clues but fewer and you get more points.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Board Gamers, you're going first again. What would you like?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Lion again. Lion again. OK.
0:12:15 > 0:12:24do you suppose, in this sequence?
0:12:30 > 0:12:54Have you read Forsyte Saga?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Well done, Hywel. You stopped them
0:12:56 > 0:12:59You can see them both now. We went with The Chronicles of Narnia.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Why? What's the connection?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13You can't get much more explanatory,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16That was absolutely as explanatory
0:13:18 > 0:13:22A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25you went with Harry Potter,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Very well done. Coming after
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Globetrotters, back to you for a go.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34We'll have the Horned Viper, please.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38What's the fourth in this sequence?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50"Now". Brown Cow... So it'll be cow.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53So, what are we doing? Erm...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03An animal with four stomachs
0:14:03 > 0:14:05one of my old school friends!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07something that denotes a cow.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Very well done. Also coming in after
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Very well done. We're heating up.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20All right. What is the fourth in this sequence? Here's the first.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Are we going to go for that?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Hang on. You've got to tell me
0:14:39 > 0:14:42that's what it's going to be?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44It's meant to be x-squared,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48It's much flatter than x-squared -
0:14:57 > 0:15:00You look really lost! Have a go.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Can he say it? Anyone can answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06A graph with the lines of y=x,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20and exactly a diagonal line,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Very well done for the points.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'm afraid that is not the answer.
0:15:46 > 0:16:01I'll show the third in the sequence
0:16:23 > 0:16:27So no bonus points, Board Gamers, but you do get the chance to choose
0:16:29 > 0:16:32What's the fourth in this sequence?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59What else is adenine? It could be
0:16:59 > 0:17:02No, but it's not going to be. OK.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Brilliant. Coming in after one clue,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I would've accepted uracil.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27DNA or RNA. Well, DNA, RNA... If it was RNA, it would be uracil.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30You can make other things, though,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32And it's them in alphabetical order.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35They are the bases of DNA or RNA.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Globetrotters, one question remains,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Picture questions. What's going
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Justice of the Peace, I guess.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Can you give me a better example?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21A picture of a Member of Parliament!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I'm going to give you the point
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Kevin Pietersen, known as KP,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37you so long to think of an MP!
0:18:39 > 0:18:43so I thought I'd go past them and choose one that was a bit better!
0:18:56 > 0:19:04It's time for the Connecting Wall.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08OK. I'd like you to sort this into four connected groups of four.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10You've got two and a half minutes,
0:19:16 > 0:19:32Perfect 10, Rotterdam, A Little Time
0:19:32 > 0:19:36What was the other one again?
0:19:36 > 0:19:42Galaxy Ford cars, Ford Fiesta,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Right. Three strikes and you're out.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Erm... Ravensburger, Waddingtons,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53You've got Brazilian, Playboy... OK, these are all types of bikini wax!
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Ah, right. French, Hollywood,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00OK. This is an opportunity to have
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Don't worry, I could create a minute of dead time on BBC4 all by myself,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Four points for finding the groups. What about the connections?
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Perfect 10, 36D, Rotterdam,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24They're songs by the Beautiful South.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28You weren't sure about 36D.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Galaxy, Fiesta, Kuga, Escort?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34They're all cars made by Ford.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42This one - Parker Brothers, Mayfair, Waddingtons, Ravensburger?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45They're all board-game manufacturers.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49They are companies that publish board games. Just as well the Board Gamers didn't get that one!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54lion board - it's their favourite!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00This last group - French, Brazilian,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'll pass to Suda to explain this. They're types of bikini wax.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11You didn't fall for it all. There was a whole fake group in that wall.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Was there? Can you see what it is?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I think I can see what it is!
0:21:19 > 0:21:24I shouldn't be at all surprised
0:21:24 > 0:21:28There was a whole fake group
0:21:28 > 0:21:31It means you're living right.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Your reward for having no idea about these terrible magazines is -
0:21:35 > 0:21:38four points for the groups,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41for never having heard of Mayfair.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45It's the maximum. Very well done.
0:21:45 > 0:21:53Board Gamers are probably itching to play something by now, if they haven't been playing Monopoly,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57It's the water wall for you.
0:22:02 > 0:22:34The Jam. The Undertones probably?
0:22:36 > 0:22:42Annie Oakley. What's Leyden?
0:22:42 > 0:22:47as in it could be a scientist
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Anne Robinson, Annie Oakley...
0:22:58 > 0:23:01We had The Damned. Do we know anything about these people?
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Have we tried the Buzzcocks and the Undertones as band ones
0:23:10 > 0:23:14"Clash" and "jam" are both verbs
0:23:22 > 0:23:25We've not got enough time on that.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Do you really think that's it?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35We haven't even got a word one. No.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Annie Oakley, Anne Robinson...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Erm... Oakley make sunglasses. Yes.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Undertones... I think we've tried this already, but those three seem most likely to be bands.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57We're definitely going with bands. We need to work out what our roots
0:24:15 > 0:24:18OK. So we're going with jars,
0:24:18 > 0:24:2210 seconds. ..news presenters.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Or potentially Annes? Maybe.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29OK, well, it's a good effort.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34There are still plenty of points available for the connections.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37what you should have found.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42There we go. The first group - Cole, Marr, Simpson, Oakley.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46OK, so these are all news presenters.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49They've all been political editors
0:24:49 > 0:24:52News presenters, quite right.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57Next - Bell, AgustaWestland,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00They're all... They make helicopters.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02They are helicopter manufacturers!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I think you only recognised
0:25:05 > 0:25:08I don't even know that I knew that,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11That's what this quiz is all about.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Kilner, Leyden, Canopic, Jam?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18These are jars. I'm... Yeah.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21we didn't get that one. They're jars.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28It's not what I'd call mine! I thought you might know that one.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50Let's see what that does to the scores going into the Final Round.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54the Globetrotters have got 19.
0:26:02 > 0:26:12You'll find plenty of walls to play
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Board Gamers. Officer Cadet.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Board Gamers. Colour Sergeant.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Board Gamers. Gas central heating.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Board Gamers. Inclusive of bills.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Possible point, Board Gamers.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Furnished flat. That's right.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Board Gamers. Bath Oliver.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57It is Bath Oliver. That bell means
0:27:57 > 0:28:01In a Missing Vowel turnaround, the Globetrotters finish on 21 points,
0:28:05 > 0:28:10Board Gamers, you are on the fast track towards the semifinals. You only have to win one more game.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14the slower road. You've got to win
0:28:14 > 0:28:16We'll be seeing you all again.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21I hope we'll be seeing you again for more 007-level code-breaking.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24who's driving the Aston Martin
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and who's in the ejector seat.
