0:00:20 > 0:00:24Hello and welcome to Only Connect, the toughest series of questions
0:00:24 > 0:00:26anyone has ever had to face that hasn't resulted
0:00:26 > 0:00:29in an academic qualification or a jail sentence.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Joining me, to not get a PhD or go to prison -
0:00:33 > 0:00:38not tonight, anyway, I can't answer for the future - are, on my right,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Douglas Thomson, a science fiction fan,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43who speaks Anglo-Saxon and flirtatious French,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and once received a massage from a Lord.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Khuram Rashid,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50an enthusiastic guitar and violin player,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53who once got lifted off his feet during a blizzard in Copenhagen,
0:00:53 > 0:00:54and their captain,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Mark Seager, an accomplished linguist,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00who was once mistaken for a member of the Pet Shop Boys
0:01:00 > 0:01:03by a group of Japanese tourists. United by a yearning
0:01:03 > 0:01:06for Europe, they are...
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Welcome to the semifinals, Mark. How have you been preparing?
0:01:10 > 0:01:15We have been trying to learn all of the remaining facts, ever.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19And we have just found there have been far more than we were expecting.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22You are facing today, on my left, Steven McIntosh,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25a music fan, with an interest in German board games,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28who fell off the Only Connect set during his first heat.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Anne Harrison, a Cambridge graduate, who was involved
0:01:31 > 0:01:33in a car crash on top of Mount St Helens,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36and bumped into Norman Wisdom on a ferry.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Their captain
0:01:37 > 0:01:40is Chris Howlett, a keen amateur dramatist,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43who has sung a choral work atop the highest peak of Maui.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45United by a passion
0:01:45 > 0:01:47for programming, they are...
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Lovely to see you back here, Chris.- Thank you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52How has your Only Connect experience been?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54We have had a great time. Really pleased to have got this far,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58so we are just going to sit back, relax and enjoy the game.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01That's the spirit. I thought we would start with Round One.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04What is the connection between the four clues?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Europhiles, you won the toss, so you will be going first.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16What is the connection between these apparently random picture clues?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Here is the first...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Less than G.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Next.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32K. That seems a bit... That's Denmark.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Take another?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Oh! Erm, is it weights and measures?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Oh, yeah.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46What is the exact connection? It is not a sequence.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Next.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52That is Bangladesh. Shall we just say flags?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54BELL
0:02:54 > 0:03:00It's the last letter of the country that the flag belongs to.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04You know I'm not going to take that, don't you?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I'll show the fourth clue to the Engineers for a possible bonus.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I can't give you long.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13No, you're not seeing it. This is what is so specific
0:03:13 > 0:03:19about those letters. Those are the ONLY countries whose names end with
0:03:19 > 0:03:22those letters. Luxembourg is the only one ending in G,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Denmark, the only one in K, Bangladesh in H
0:03:25 > 0:03:29and Iraq, the only country that ends in a Q. No points, there.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Engineers, your turn to choose. - Lion, please.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Lion.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35MUSICAL JINGLE
0:03:35 > 0:03:37The music question. You seem delighted(!)
0:03:37 > 0:03:39What is the connection between the clues you are going to hear?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Here is the first...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Do you know what it's called?- Next.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49# Sorry to disturb you... #
0:03:49 > 0:03:52That is Carrie Doesn't Live Here Any More by Cliff Richard.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56# But I was in the neighbourhood... #
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Next.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01# I'm the trouble starter... #
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Firestarter, by Jamiroquai. - The Prodigy.- Prodigy, sorry.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Wasn't she a fire-starter in Carrie?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12THEY CONFER
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Next.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18# I'm the kind of guy
0:04:18 > 0:04:20# Who never used... #
0:04:20 > 0:04:22BELL
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Prodigies. - Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- Your bonus chance, Europhiles. - Have they been restricted or banned
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- by the BBC?- They have not.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I don't think Cliff Richard's Carrie is really going to get banned
0:04:36 > 0:04:40by the BBC. He's not hugely controversial, Cliff Richard.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Carrie, Firestarter, by The Prodigy, that last one, I was smiling,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47that was a Kenny Lynch cover of a Beatles song, Misery.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51And the first one was Insomnia, by Faithless. Have you got it now?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Stephen King.- Stephen King. The songs share their titles
0:04:54 > 0:04:59with those of Stephen King novels. Europhiles, your turn to choose.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Eye of Horus, please.- What is the connection between these clues?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Here is the first.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Bandwidth relative to frequency.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11THEY CONFER
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- What is the measurement? - Frequency.- What is the measurement?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Like, frequency's hertz. - I don't know.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Next.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Godzilla?- Are they all...?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Next one? Next.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Next.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40That's Quincy Jones.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Three seconds.- Erm...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46BELL
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Erm...
0:05:48 > 0:05:54- Jones.- Not the answer, I'm afraid. Engineers, want to go for a bonus?
0:05:54 > 0:06:00- GZ.- No. I am looking for letters, but what I want is the letter Q.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Bandwidth relative to frequency is the letter Q.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Quality factor, it is short for. The giant lizard over
0:06:06 > 0:06:10New York - not Godzilla, but an incarnation of Quetzalcoatl,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13in that terrifying film, Q - The Winged Serpent.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Knowing that, I think you were aware
0:06:16 > 0:06:19that Quincy Jones was the producer of Thriller.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Who might have been the first editor of the Oxford Book of English Verse?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. Software Engineers, your turn.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Horned Viper.- Horned Viper. What is the connection
0:06:30 > 0:06:32between these apparently random clues?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Here is the first...
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I don't know.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41THEY CONFER
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Next.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Klondike?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Do we want to go on?- Yes.- Next.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Klondike, I think.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Do you want me to take a punt or try for the last clue?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- See the last clue.- Next.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Old Maid. Old Maid... I think.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12BUZZER
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Old Maid.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14How dare you?!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Oh, sorry, that was your answer? No, not it, I'm afraid.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Europhiles, do you want to go for a bonus?- Persuader.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Not the answer, either. Three Blind Mice.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Three Blind Mice is the Christie radio play, that was then published
0:07:29 > 0:07:31as a short story. It's a version of patience.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36The opening credits of Dr No, the three, apparently-blind assassins.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Of course, they are not blind, at all, and the nursery rhyme.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Europhiles, you have your own question now. Which is it to be?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Twisted flax, please.- Twisted flax. What is the connection between
0:07:47 > 0:07:49these clues? Here is the first...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Thompson Twins!- Next.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Kingston. What is the capital of St Vincent?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- I don't know. What is Jamaica? - Kingston.- Oh, yeah.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Erm...next.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Oh, it's with an extra bit from each letter.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13BUZZER
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Their names are all the... The name of the second one, in each case,
0:08:17 > 0:08:22is the name of the first one, plus one extra letter inserted into it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25At last, some points coming in, after three clues.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28You are going to get two points. You add one letter to get
0:08:28 > 0:08:32the second thing, in each case. Can you talk me through the clues?
0:08:32 > 0:08:38the detectives in The Adventures of Tintin are Thomson and Thompson.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41The capitals of Jamaica are Kingston,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- and we're not sure what the capital of St Vincent is.- Have a guess.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- Kingston.- Kingstone.- It's Kingstown. Kingstown.- The Greek letters
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- are pi and psi.- Pi and psi.- Psi.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56And what about these elements?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Erm...- Erbium and terbium,
0:08:58 > 0:09:03that's what they are. All involve adding one letter to get the next.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Very well done to you. OK, Software Engineers, your chance to get points
0:09:06 > 0:09:10before the end of the round. The Water question is yours.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14What connects these clues? Here is the first...
0:09:16 > 0:09:19He hit the golf ball. It had Alan Shepard on it.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21OK. Next.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I have no idea what that is.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30THEY CONFER
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Next.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37That was... Was that the Shakespearian joke?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- It must have lasted a certain time. - Apollo 14, what was it called?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Next.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46BUZZER
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- They all lasted nine days.- You are not going to finish the round
0:09:50 > 0:09:53without a point. They all lasted nine days.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Thomas Kemp, the actor, apparently spent nine days Morris dancing,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- from London to Norwich, after an argument with Shakespeare.- Yep.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02It's a brilliant response to an argument. I tend to break things.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Morris dancing to Norwich
0:10:04 > 0:10:06is definitely what I'm going to do next.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09But that's it, you get the point. All lasted nine days.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12That's the end of Round One and the Europhiles have two points,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14the Software Engineers have one.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19On to Round Two, the sequences round.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Europhiles, you'll be going first again.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Which hieroglyph would you like?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Twisted Flax, please.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26OK, this time, of course,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I want to know what is the fourth in a sequence.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32You're going to see some picture clues. Here's the first.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Next.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's Zola Budd, isn't it?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Next.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52That's the Cerne Abbas Giant.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Right, OK...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Seeing any connection here?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Khuram says that first one's Jesus...
0:10:59 > 0:11:03THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Jesus, Zola...
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- I'm not seeing anything. - Three seconds.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13BELL
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Supergiant star.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Not the answer. Software Engineers,
0:11:19 > 0:11:20you've got a bonus chance.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21All the saints.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25No, it wouldn't be all the saints.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27That athlete is Ann Packer.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So if you think saint, Packer, giant,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31does that do anything for you?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- No?- They're NFL teams.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Winners of the Super Bowl.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38And the next winners after the Giants, the Ravens.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41So we've got a picture of that chap from the children's TV series Raven.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I grew up next door to Ann Packer
0:11:43 > 0:11:47and I'm astonished that I didn't recognise her.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48- Did you really?- Yes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49That's amazing, cos I did think,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52"I'm not sure these young teams will recognise Ann Packer",
0:11:52 > 0:11:54but I wasn't thinking she'd live next door.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Ann Packer, your old neighbour.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57It'd almost have been unfair,
0:11:57 > 0:11:58if you'd got the point.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Software Engineers,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01back to you to choose a question.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Eye of Horus, please.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Eye of Horus. What would be the fourth in this sequence?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Here's the first.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Next.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Is it going to be Ceiling?
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Could it be Floor again?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I don't know, shall we take a next?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Next.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Roof, maybe?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Do you want to try Ceiling? - Got to try something.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38BELL
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Ceiling.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Not the answer, I'm afraid, so Europhiles,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44another bonus chance emerges.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Roof.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Roof, not the answer either.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49These are layers in a rainforest.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51We're going upwards
0:12:51 > 0:12:52and above the canopy,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54you get the emergent layer,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55the trees that are coming up
0:12:55 > 0:12:56through the canopy.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Europhiles, your chance to choose.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Horned Viper, please.- Horned Viper.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03What would the next one be in this sequence?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Here's the first.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Next.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17That was the early '90s.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19That's rugby.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Next.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Oh, so it was when they took over from someone,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30rather than being officially appointed.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Three seconds.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45BELL
0:13:46 > 0:13:48George HW Bush.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Software Engineers, do you want to have a go for a bonus point?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53We're completely blank.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54I told the question editor
0:13:54 > 0:13:56if anybody got this I'd give him £12.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Only 12?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Tony Blair as PM, years 1-3,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03that would be '97-'99.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Will Carling as England captain, years 1-4,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07that would be '88-'91.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09John Major as PM, '90-'93,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11can you see what I'm getting at?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12'93-'95?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Not quite. Do you know what it is over there?- '90-'92?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It's '92-'95, but what is it?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21It's the FM frequencies of BBC Radio 1-4.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23That is it -
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26and we want to know something
0:14:26 > 0:14:28that shares its numbers

0:14:32 > 0:14:33years 1-4.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35OK, Software Engineers, what would you like?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Lion, please.- Lion. What would be the fourth in this sequence?
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Here's the first.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Is that what you can make in the coinage bags?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51As in, if you...
0:14:51 > 0:14:545p and 10p, you can give a...
0:14:54 > 0:14:565p and 10p's £1.
0:14:56 > 0:15:0020p and 50p is how much you can give for £1s and £2s.
0:15:01 > 0:15:0210 or 20.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- £20?- I think we need to get another one.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Next, please.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08- Yes.- Yes.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10You think £1 and £2 is £20?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I think it might be more than £20.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14BELL
0:15:14 > 0:15:17£1 and £2 equals £20.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Not the answer, I'm afraid,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22so I'm going to show the third in a sequence to the Europhiles.
0:15:22 > 0:15:2320.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24No, that's what they said.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- I need an answer. - £1 and £2 equals £50.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Not the answer either.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31What did you think the connection was?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I think it's the amounts you are allowed to pay
0:15:33 > 0:15:34in to a bank in a coinage bag.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Sort of, almost yes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39It's the amount with which
0:15:39 > 0:15:40you're allowed to pay a debt
0:15:40 > 0:15:42for it to be legal tender,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44but once you get to £1 and £2,
0:15:44 > 0:15:45the answer is unlimited.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47But when you're using
0:15:47 > 0:15:481p and 2p coins,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50if you try and pay a debt of more than 20p,
0:15:50 > 0:15:51the person is allowed to say no,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53cos it's not legal tender.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55All right, Europhiles, last choice of the round.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00What is the fourth in this sequence?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh, lord, good luck.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Here's the first.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Next.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- Is that "God" in Spanish? - No, it's not.- That's "women".
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Yeah, yeah.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21God, women...
0:16:21 > 0:16:25THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Do you want to see the next one?- Yes.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Next.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32God, women, men.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35God, women, men.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Oh, yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Three seconds.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43BELL
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Angels, in English.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Engineers, do you want to go for a bonus point?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54It's a word for men that's seven letters long in a foreign language,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56but I'm blanking on one.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Right, there is a quote
0:16:58 > 0:17:02from the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, which is,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04"I speak Spanish to God,
0:17:04 > 0:17:05"Italian to women,
0:17:05 > 0:17:06"French to men
0:17:06 > 0:17:08"and German to my horse."
0:17:08 > 0:17:12So I wanted to hear, of course, "Mein Pferd",
0:17:12 > 0:17:14the German for "My Horse".
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Horrible. Welcome to the semifinal.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19OK, Software Engineers, you'll all be relieved to hear
0:17:19 > 0:17:21there's only one question left.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Let's get through it as best we can.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24It's the water question.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26What is the fourth in this sequence?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Here's the first.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Order of operations?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Or Austin Powers?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Next.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Oh, powers, principalities...
0:17:40 > 0:17:41It's the...
0:17:43 > 0:17:45THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Do you think it's angels?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Might as well have a punt at it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49- I think we'll take next first.- OK.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Next, please.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Angels, archangels, principalities... Yes, I think...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59BELL
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Angels.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Once again, at the last minute in the round,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05you come in for the points.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06The answer is angels.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Quite amazingly,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Europhiles, on the last question,
0:18:10 > 0:18:11you guessed angels in English
0:18:11 > 0:18:13might be the answer and it wasn't,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15but it is now.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Absolutely bizarre.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Yes, this is the hierarchy of angels
0:18:19 > 0:18:20going backwards,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23so angel is your sort of entry-level angel.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Very well done.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So at the end of Round Two,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28the Europhiles have two points,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30the Software Engineers have three.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I know what you're thinking - this episode is just too easy.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The teams are scoring too highly, it's silly.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39How can we make it more difficult?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42With a Connecting Wall.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45OK, Software Engineers, it's your turn to go first.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Would you like Lion or Water?
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Lion, please.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50OK, you've got two and a half minutes
0:18:50 > 0:18:52to solve this horrible Lion wall.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Good luck with it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Your time starts now.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03THEY TALK OVER ONE ANOTHER
0:19:03 > 0:19:06there must be another one, cos Roger's far too clear.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Characters in the Mikado?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14No, not Pan-pan, not that I know of, anyway.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Fixer, Wetting, this is from photography, is it not?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Stop bath.- Fogging.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Fogging, yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27"Don't talk", is any of these "don't talk", or is...?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Alf and Paul are both aliens.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Ming is, Ming the Merciless.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33The Mule is also from... BUZZ
0:19:33 > 0:19:35He's from...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37BUZZ
0:19:37 > 0:19:39BUZZ
0:19:39 > 0:19:40BUZZ
0:19:41 > 0:19:43BUZZ
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Five by five... - BUZZ
0:19:45 > 0:19:46I think Five by five is radio. BUZZ
0:19:48 > 0:19:49I'm going to try No Parlez.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Muffin the Mule... - BUZZ
0:19:51 > 0:19:53No, that's long gone.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55BUZZ
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Ming?- Potentially, or possibly Paul. BUZZ
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Could Pan-pan be an alien? - BUZZ
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's ringing a terrible bell as to what Pan-pan is and I can't think.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06BUZZ
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I think The Mule is going to be from the aliens,
0:20:09 > 0:20:10because of...
0:20:12 > 0:20:13BUZZ
0:20:14 > 0:20:15BUZZ
0:20:15 > 0:20:17You've got a minute left.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18BUZZ
0:20:19 > 0:20:21BUZZ
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Is there anything we can do with surnames, with Alf, Roger or Paul
0:20:24 > 0:20:27and then something else like Alf Campbell, Roger Campbell, Paul...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Oh, Ming Campbell isn't spelt like that, that's embarrassing.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34What would be left after we've taken out aliens and radio terminology?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Oh, cos Pan-pan is radio, isn't it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Is it? Oh, you might be right.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43You may be right. Let's stick that in.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Yes, excellent.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Three strikes and you're out now.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You've got about 20 seconds.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Try three combinations of aliens.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I can't identify what the other link is.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01BUZZ
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Ten seconds now.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Whatever. Just try three different things.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08- That one.- No, that's it.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You've used your three strikes and the wall has frozen,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14but well done, you've got some points for finding two groups.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16You can get more points for the connections.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Fogging, Fixer, Stop bath, Wetting agent.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23They are all terms for photographic development.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25They absolutely are.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29What about the next one? Five by five, Negative, Pan-pan, Wilco.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Are all things said on radio transmission, radio communications.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35That's it, they're voice procedures.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37You can also get points for the connections
0:21:37 > 0:21:40in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Alf, Shaky, No Parlez, Zenyatta Mondatta.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I've no idea.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49That's not giving anything for me.
0:21:49 > 0:21:55I can see you've got nothing. They are number-one albums of the 1980s.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59And the last group - Roger, The Mule, Ming and Paul.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Are they all alien baddies?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'll take aliens, extraterrestrials.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06"Fictional aliens", it says in my notes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Not like all those real ones(!)
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Yeah, it's not one of the real alien kings.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12OK, so two points for the groups that you found
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and three more points for the connections.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16That's a total of five.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19The Software Engineers will now be ushered out by a cloaked figure
0:22:19 > 0:22:22and the Europhiles will be ushered in to face a new connecting wall.
0:22:22 > 0:22:2516 fresh clues, still needs sorting in the same way.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28It's the Water wall for you, Europhiles. Good luck with it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30You have two and a half minutes, starting...
0:22:30 > 0:22:32now.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:22:43 > 0:22:44BUZZ
0:22:51 > 0:22:52BUZZ
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Delphi...
0:22:55 > 0:22:57That was a place in ancient Greece.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08BUZZ
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Oh, hang on.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11That's a theatre,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13but with a letter missing.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Oh, I see, right, yes.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Adelphi.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18BUZZ
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Right, OK.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Go back to those curves...
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Malleus could be one.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31That's in the ear as well.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33What's a Tractrix?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35BUZZ Nope.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Epi's usually a prefix for skin.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Could be like the outside.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50BUZZ
0:23:52 > 0:23:53BUZZ
0:23:56 > 0:23:57BUZZ
0:23:57 > 0:23:58You've got a minute left.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05The Witch of Agnesi,
0:24:05 > 0:24:09that's the only one that shows a person.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15BUZZ
0:24:16 > 0:24:19BUZZ
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Cochlea can only be the ear, I'm sure.
0:24:23 > 0:24:2530 seconds now.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28THEY CONTINUE TO CONFER
0:24:29 > 0:24:30BUZZ
0:24:31 > 0:24:33BUZZ
0:24:35 > 0:24:36BUZZ
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Anything else?
0:24:39 > 0:24:40BUZZ
0:24:44 > 0:24:45BUZZ
0:24:46 > 0:24:47BUZZ
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Oh, that's it, you're time's up and the wall's frozen.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55OK, but you get a point for the group you found
0:24:55 > 0:24:58and if you can tell me what connects them, I'll give you another point.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Alladium, Pollo, Delphi, Lobe.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04They're all London theatres with the first letter missing.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Very well spotted.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09You add a letter to get Palladium, Apollo, Adelphi and Globe.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11You can also, of course, get points for the connections
0:25:11 > 0:25:14in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20Dodona, Epidaurus, Didyma, Abae.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25People from ancient Greek mythology, but beyond that, we're stuck.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27They're not, they're the sites of oracles.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31They're places where you would find an oracle.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35The next group - Organ of Corti, Helix, Malleus, Cochlea.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37They're parts of the ear.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Those are the parts of the ear.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41And the last group -
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Parabola, Tractrix, Witch of Agnesi, Hippopede.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46The last one, I think, is "horse-foot".
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- OK.- But what's that?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I need you to give an answer.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54They're all arcs, curves.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56They are mathematical curves.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58So a point for the group you found
0:25:58 > 0:26:00and three more points for the connections.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01That's a total of four points.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Let's have a look at the scores.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12If our teams feel like hitting something with a hammer,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14they can go to our website, where they'll find
0:26:14 > 0:26:17lots of connecting walls and they can even submit their own,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20but first they're going to have to play Round Four -
0:26:20 > 0:26:25that's where we'll decide the place in the final, by missing vowel.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Fingers on buzzers, teams.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32I can tell you that the first group are all things served cold.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35- BELL - Europhiles.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Gazpacho.- Correct.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44More familiar to me, perhaps.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46American beer. Next clue.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49- BELL - Europhiles?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Revenge.- That's right.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Don't know this one? It's ice cream.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Next category...
0:27:05 > 0:27:06- BELL - Europhiles?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08"The past is a foreign country."
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Correct.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17No? From Anna Karenina -
0:27:17 > 0:27:19"Happy families are all alike."
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Next clue.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- BELL - Engineers?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26"It was the day my grandma..."
0:27:26 > 0:27:27I'm afraid you must lose a point.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Europhiles, do you know it?
0:27:30 > 0:27:31No, too long. From The Crow Road.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33"It was the day my grandmother exploded."
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Next clue.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36- BELL - Europhiles?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- "Call me Ishmael."- From Moby Dick.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53- BELL - Engineers?
0:27:53 > 0:27:54- No, sorry.- You lose a point.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Do you know it, Europhiles?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Too long, it's sea otter. Next clue.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01END-OF-GAME JINGLE
0:28:04 > 0:28:07But you don't have time to give me the answer,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09which would have been ermine,
