0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello and welcome to Only Connect, where I am joined by two teams
0:00:24 > 0:00:27who have previously played here and not won.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29So, whoever loses tonight will be out. O-U-T, out.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Although, if I actually have to spell the word out for them,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34it doesn't bode well for the rest of the quiz.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Both teams keen to avoid a losing streak or, please, God,
0:00:38 > 0:00:39any other kind of streaking.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44So let's say hello and fingers crossed, too. On my right,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Daniel Fullard, an employability tutor with a History degree
0:00:47 > 0:00:51who is an enthusiastic member of the Campaign For Real Ale.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Brendan Curtis, a diagnostic radiographer who has
0:00:55 > 0:00:57previously worked as a kitchen porter, a shop assistant,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00a farm hand and a TEFL teacher in Slovakia.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And their captain, Chris Curtis - a detention officer who is
0:01:03 > 0:01:06currently training for a sponsored walk from London to Bletchley.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08United by a historic attitude for athletics,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10they are the Erstwhile Athletes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13You faced the Record Collectors, Chris, in your last heat.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15How did that go?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19We were a bit like a British 4x100 metre relay team
0:01:19 > 0:01:21in that we managed to drop the baton.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- So, hopefully, we will get the baton around this time.- Perfect.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27You will be facing, on my left...
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Stephen Mcintosh - a Computer Science graduate who enjoys
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Tarantino films and once helped Lembit Opic retrieve an e-mail.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Anne Harrison - an engineer and award-winning Latin dancer,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42who recently made a Volkswagen Beetle out of wood.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And their captain, Chris Howlett - a software engineer
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and amateur dramatics enthusiast who is currently
0:01:48 > 0:01:50rehearsing for a role in Guys And Dolls.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54United by computing competence, they are the Software Engineers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57You faced the Welsh Learners. Chris, tell me about that game.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I think we were beaten by the better team there.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02So this time, we just have to be the better team.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Are there any areas of knowledge you think you hope won't come up
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- after the last experience? - Music, definitely music.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Well, I think I can guarantee there will be at least one music
0:02:12 > 0:02:15question, but you have got a 50-50 chance of not getting it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Let's play the quiz.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Round one - the connection between four apparently random clues.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22If you have forgotten that, then you are really in trouble.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Software Engineers, you won the toss, you will be going first.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Please choose
0:02:26 > 0:02:28your Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Lion, please.- OK.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Oh, it is the music question,
0:02:32 > 0:02:33but at least you will get it
0:02:33 > 0:02:34- out of the way early.- Yep.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Good luck with this.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37You will be hearing the clues,
0:02:37 > 0:02:38what connects them?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Here's the first.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43SONG: "'Round Midnight"
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Next.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51# Heaven is holding a half moon. #
0:02:51 > 0:02:52I recognize this.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yeah, it's nice.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Midnight At The Oasis.- Next.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02SONG: "In The Midnight Hour"
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I know this as well.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09HE WHISPERS
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Possibly, do you want to go for it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Or should we take next?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15BELL
0:03:15 > 0:03:17They all mention times of day.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Have another go.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Specifically midnight.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23They... Midnight?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25They all mention midnight.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I'd have to have accepted
0:03:26 > 0:03:27they all mention times of day,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29but the time of day they mention is midnight.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32You didn't need Midnight Train To Georgia.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Coming in after three clues, you get two points. Athletes,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36the good news is the music question is gone.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- What would you like?- Unfortunately, we happen to know that one as well.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, unlucky. But maybe you will know this.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- May we have Two Reeds, please? - You may have Two Reeds.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47What is the connection between these clues?
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Here's the first.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54THEY WHISPER
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Next, please.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- Prince.- Prince?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04They're not named after someone,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- though.- Next, please.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Lester Piggot... Did they all get...?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11He got jailed for tax evasion,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13didn't Naseem Hamed?
0:04:13 > 0:04:14He went to jail after a car crash,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- didn't he?- I don't know,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- I'd get the next one.- Next, please.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Do it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Three seconds.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29They have all been detained
0:04:29 > 0:04:31at Her Majesty's pleasure.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32They were not all in prison,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34so, Software Engineers,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36you have the chance for a bonus point.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40We think they have all lost honours as a result of being
0:04:40 > 0:04:42detained at Her Majesty's pleasure.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43I'm going to accept it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46They were all stripped of honours.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Naseem Hamed lost an MBE.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Lester Piggot, an OBE.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Fred Goodwin, a knighthood,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54of course. What can you tell me
0:04:54 > 0:04:55about Vidkun Quisling?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Absolutely nothing at all, I'm afraid.- Sorry.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Do you know about Quisling?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00He was a traitor, wasn't he?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03World War II traitor, he was Norwegian.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Yes, he was Norwegian.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06He had an honorary CBE, which he
0:05:06 > 0:05:08lost in 1940 cos he got involved
0:05:08 > 0:05:10with a Nazi-backed government.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12And a quisling is a word used
0:05:12 > 0:05:13to mean a traitor now.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Or it could also mean a young
0:05:14 > 0:05:16quizzer. Hello, little quislings.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17I'll try and keep it clean.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19OK, so you get the bonus point,
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Software Engineers.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Please choose a question.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Horned Viper, please.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Horned viper, OK.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26What is the connection between
0:05:26 > 0:05:27these clues? Here's the first.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Next.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40THEY WHISPER
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Next.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, they are animated characters.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's Angelina Ballerina.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52They are animated characters.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Yeah, animated characters. - Oh, that would be Dora.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56BELL
0:05:56 > 0:06:00They are children's animated characters.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02The thing is, I'm assuming
0:06:02 > 0:06:04you have seen the show before,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07we couldn't possibly accept.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09You're going to have to tell me something else.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I mean, that is true of them,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13but it's just too simple.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15They are rhyming children's
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- cartoon characters.- I can't take it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17There is a bonus chance
0:06:17 > 0:06:18for the Athletes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Now I'm going to show you the last clue.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25THEY WHISPER
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Is it the surnames of the characters.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Dora Marquez possibly?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32We have swapped in their surnames.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33You see, I can't accept your answer
0:06:33 > 0:06:35because these technically
0:06:35 > 0:06:36aren't animated characters.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Dora the Explorer, Fireman Sam,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Angelina Ballerina and Postman Pat
0:06:41 > 0:06:42would be the actual
0:06:42 > 0:06:43characters' names.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44These are characters,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46but the specific thing that has
0:06:46 > 0:06:47happened to these clues is
0:06:47 > 0:06:49we have swapped in their surnames
0:06:49 > 0:06:52where their first names would normally be in the titles.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54So, that is a bonus point for you, Athletes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56And your chance to choose
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- a question.- Twisted Flax, please.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Twisted Flax. What is
0:06:59 > 0:07:01the connection between these clues?
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Here is the first.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Next, please.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I think that's timing for the...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14For tennis - for the U.S. Open,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- for the Australian Open.- It could be.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You want to get another one to be
0:07:19 > 0:07:20on the safe side or do you want to
0:07:20 > 0:07:22go for it?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28BELL
0:07:28 > 0:07:30They provide the timing equipment
0:07:30 > 0:07:32for the U.S. Open tennis,
0:07:32 > 0:07:33the Australian Open tennis,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35French Open tennis and Wimbledon.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Goodness me, well,
0:07:37 > 0:07:38I'm certainly going to give you
0:07:38 > 0:07:39the points, you hadn't even seen
0:07:39 > 0:07:41the next two clues, which were
0:07:41 > 0:07:42the French Open and Wimbledon.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44More generally, you might say
0:07:44 > 0:07:45the timekeepers for tennis
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Grand Slam events, but you actually
0:07:47 > 0:07:48gave me all four without
0:07:48 > 0:07:49seeing them. Very impressed.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50I'd give you bonus points
0:07:50 > 0:07:52if I could. I can't, I can only
0:07:52 > 0:07:53give you three for
0:07:53 > 0:07:54coming in after two clues.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Back to you then,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Software Engineers.- Water, please.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Water.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01These are going to be picture clues,
0:08:01 > 0:08:02what connects them?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Here's the first.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It's a knot. Is it a specific type?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08It's a double.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Not one I recognise. Next.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Cathedral... Or is it a castle?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'm not sure.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- I don't know.- No.- Next.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Putting a ring on a finger.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26He's putting a ring...
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Binding?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I can't see why it'd be the cathedral. Next.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Fisherman's Friend.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Fisherman...- Five seconds.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42It must be. I'll just go for it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Fishermen.- That is the connection.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48What do you think you are looking at?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It must be a fisherman's knot. Those are Fisherman's Friends.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I don't know what the other two are.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Do you know what that second one is,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Brendan?- I don't, actually.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I thought you might because it is near your area of expertise.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01It's the Fisherman's Bastion
0:09:01 > 0:09:02in Budapest.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04And that's the fisherman's ring.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07That's the fisherman's ring, the Pope's ring,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08related of course to Peter the Fisherman.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10And yes, the fisherman's knot
0:09:10 > 0:09:11is a bend, apparently,
0:09:11 > 0:09:12but a fisherman's bend
0:09:12 > 0:09:13is of course a hitch.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Only a fool would confuse those two knots.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Well done, you get the points.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18And back to the Athletes for the
0:09:18 > 0:09:20last question, the Eye of Horus.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21What is the connection
0:09:21 > 0:09:23between these clues?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Here is the first.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Next, please.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Next, please.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Lapin, that's French for rabbit.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Could be, get the next one.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Next, please.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Klingo. Add an N on the end
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- and it's Klingon.- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You have to add something.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Yeah, so, add a letter
0:09:56 > 0:09:58and you get a Star Trek alien?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59We could try it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- We need to buzz.- Three seconds.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03BELL
0:10:03 > 0:10:06By adding a letter on the end,
0:10:06 > 0:10:11you get an alien from Star Trek.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12I'm afraid you do not get
0:10:12 > 0:10:14an alien from Star Trek.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17So, Software Engineers, do you want to have a go for a bonus?
0:10:17 > 0:10:22If you add a letter, you get a constructed language.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23You get a constructed language.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You can add an N to get Klingon,
0:10:25 > 0:10:26but that is the only alien, I think.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28What about the other languages?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29- Elvish.- Elvish,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31from the Lord Of The Rings.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It must be Valyrian, I'm guessing.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Yes, from?
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Not one I know, I'm afraid.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Game Of Thrones.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39And what about that third one?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Lapin, the French word for rabbit.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47The clue is in that. You add an E, you get Lapine - Watership Down.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48It is the rabbits' language
0:10:48 > 0:10:49in Watership Down.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Elvish can be written
0:10:51 > 0:10:52in various scripts, including
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Tengwar of Feanor.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Various modes including Quenyas
0:10:56 > 0:10:58and Sindarin.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Anyone here speak any Elvish?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Any Klingon?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03What kind of an episode is this?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05An Only Connect show where nobody
0:11:05 > 0:11:06can speak Elvish or Klingon?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09We must try harder. Very well played, though,
0:11:09 > 0:11:10in round one.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12The closing scores there are...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Erstwhile Athletes - 4,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Software Engineers - 5.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Round two - sequences.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22This time the teams must work out the connections first,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25but tell me what comes next in a sequence,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28and they may only see a maximum of three clues in order to do that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Software Engineers, which question would you like?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Take Lion again.- Lion, OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37What do you think would be the fourth clue in this sequence?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Here's the first.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43The...Prince. The Little Prince?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Next.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51THEY WHISPER
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I can't tell.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Next.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Oh, it's the...
0:11:59 > 0:12:02HE WHISPERS
0:12:06 > 0:12:08But what's with the title?
0:12:08 > 0:12:09What's with the numbers?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Just master, I think.- OK.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Five seconds.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Might as well guess it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17BELL
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Fourth - Master.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20And why would that be?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22They appear to be
0:12:22 > 0:12:25titles given to descending
0:12:25 > 0:12:28offspring of nobility or something
0:12:28 > 0:12:29of that, we're not really sure.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31That is not right,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33because, as you said yourselves,
0:12:33 > 0:12:34the numbers wouldn't mean anything
0:12:34 > 0:12:36there. So there's a possible bonus
0:12:36 > 0:12:37chance for the Athletes.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I can't give you a long time.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43- I've got nothing, sorry.- No.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Now, the reason why it is
0:12:45 > 0:12:47The and II and The Third is
0:12:47 > 0:12:48because we are talking about...
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Oh, Blackadder!
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Blackadder.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Yes, The Blackadder is Prince Edward Duke of Edinburgh.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58II, Blackadder II,
0:12:58 > 0:12:59he is Lord Blackadder.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Blackadder The Third,
0:13:00 > 0:13:01he is just Blackadder Esquire.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03And Blackadder Goes Fourth,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05he is captain.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08So, no points there, although Brendan, you got to bang your head
0:13:08 > 0:13:11on the desk, which is an important thing to do at any quiz, I think.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13And your chance to choose a question.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14May we had Two Reeds, please?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Yes, you may.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18What is the fourth in this sequence?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Here's the first.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Next, please.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Next, please.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49What does the lower case I stand for?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53HE WHISPERS
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Five seconds.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59BELL
0:13:59 > 0:14:0010.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Not the answer, I'm afraid.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03So the chance of the bonus
0:14:03 > 0:14:04- for you, Engineers.- Root two.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Do you want to have a go at what it
0:14:06 > 0:14:08actually is, the square root of two?
0:14:08 > 0:14:101.41.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Dot, dot, dot...
0:14:12 > 0:14:13What I hoped to hear was
0:14:13 > 0:14:161.41421356237,
0:14:16 > 0:14:17but close enough.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Can you explain to your opponents?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23They are the square roots of integers going up, starting from -1.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24That's right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So the i signifies the square root
0:14:26 > 0:14:27of -1.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29And the square root of zero, one and
0:14:29 > 0:14:31two, root two would be the answer.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32So, well done for the bonus,
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Engineers.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- And which question would you like? - Eye of- Horus. Eye of Horus.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Now, these are going to be picture clues.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Here's the first.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Some kind of chocolate. - Chocolate bar of some kind.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50It's not a... They're thicker than that.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Next.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56You're going to have
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- to go next.- Yeah. Next.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- They're hanging a picture.- Picture.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07THEY WHISPER
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Is it brittle? Peanut brittle?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15It might be brittle, but...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18It's a Picnic At Hanging Rock.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Three seconds.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21BELL
0:15:21 > 0:15:22A rock.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25A rock or some lovely sticks
0:15:25 > 0:15:26of rock is the answer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- And why is that?- Stephen is going
0:15:28 > 0:15:29to have to explain it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31The first one is a Picnic.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33The second one is the at symbol.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35And the third one they are hanging.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39So it is Jeffrey Eugenides' book, Picnic At Hanging Rock.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41A very nearly flawless answer.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43The author is actually Joan Lindsay.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Well done. All right, Athletes,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47your turn to choose.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48- Twisted Flax, please.- Twisted Flax.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51What would be the fourth in this sequence?
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Here is the first.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Next, please.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Next, please.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Native of Latvia. - That's a Lett, isn't it?- Lett.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Erm...
0:16:21 > 0:16:25That's a Lett. Something D or Greek letter? Letter. Letter.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Yeah.- Five seconds.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29BELL
0:16:31 > 0:16:34It's a point that you have to play again in tennis.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I will accept that answer.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38And why? Why will I accept it?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Cos the first one is letter, the second one is Lette - L-E-T-T-E.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Kathy Lette, the author.- The third one is a Lett - L-E-T-T.- Mm-hmm.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48And then the last one is a let - L-E-T.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51We would have taken a rental or a type of tennis service.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Very well done.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Starting with letter we're taking a letter off the end
0:16:55 > 0:16:57until we arrive at L-E-T, let.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Good shout.- Well done.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Back to you, Software Engineers.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Horned Viper.- Horned Viper.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06What would you expect to see forth in this sequence?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Here's the first.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Look and listen. It's the green cross code.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Look and listen.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Look left and right. - Carefully cross?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Is it carefully cross?- That would be last.- Do we want to go on?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- We need another one.- Next.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Wait until it's safe to cross. - Look left, look right.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Safely cross the road. That's what's going to be the last one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Yeah. Should we go for it? BELL
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Cross the road safely. - I'm afraid that's not the answer
0:17:40 > 0:17:42so I'm going to show the third
0:17:42 > 0:17:44in the sequence to the Erstwhile Athletes.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Keep using your eyes and ears.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Oh, no, although I think that crops up somewhere.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Now, you know, don't you, that this is the Green Cross code?- Yes.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55But, the capital letters and exclamation marks,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57we're looking for the exact wording
0:17:57 > 0:17:59and after Look And Listen
0:17:59 > 0:18:01you get Arrive Alive.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Weirdly, the actual road crossing is sort of... It's implied.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07You know, you sort of cross the road in between three and four,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10aiming to arrive alive. Although, to be honest,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I would think arrive alive would be the advice on each phase of it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15But that's it. No points there.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18And the last question of the round goes to you, Athletes.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It's Water. What would be the fourth in this sequence?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Here's the first.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Edward VIII. 77.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29When he was born?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Prince Albert. Next, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- 86, King, isn't it?- George III.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38George III. 81.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40When was the last year? Erm...
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- No, 1820, he finished.- Next, please.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Victoria.- 81.- 81.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Age...not age when they died?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Edward VIII.- Five seconds.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02BELL
0:19:04 > 0:19:08It is...the number of direct descendants they would have...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Say it.- What comes fourth in the sequence?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Erm...- No, that's too long, I'm afraid.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I'm going to throw it over for a possible bonus
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- to the Engineers.- We think it's Elizabeth II still alive.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I'm going to let you have another go
0:19:25 > 0:19:29and I want the fourth to look like the rest of the sequence.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- She was born in 1920... - I can't leave you too long.- 88.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Elizabeth II, 88.- I'm afraid not, because at time of recording
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- is 87. - THEY GROAN
0:19:40 > 0:19:43She's not had her birthday because it's not...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's British monarchs in order
0:19:45 > 0:19:47not of rule but of longevity
0:19:47 > 0:19:49and their ages in brackets.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Obviously, Queen Victoria lived a few months longer than George III
0:19:52 > 0:19:54and next would be Elizabeth II at 87.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58So, at the end of round two, the Erstwhile Athletes have six points,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01the Software Engineers have eight.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And if either of the teams have been having nightmares
0:20:06 > 0:20:09about Connecting Walls since their first heat, good news,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12they can lay that ghost to rest with a new one.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14You'll be going first, Erstwhile Athletes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18So you can choose Connecting Wall Lion or Water?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- Lion, please.- OK.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23You have 2½ minutes to solve the Lion wall. Starting now.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- OK. Clergy.- OK. Do you want to... Shall I have a go?- Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34BUZZ We've got Sinatra and Davis.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38BUZZ
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Who else was in the Rat Pack with Sammy Davis Jr?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Erm... - BUZZ
0:20:44 > 0:20:47BUZZ
0:20:47 > 0:20:49BUZZ
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Erm...- OK.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Have we got tennis trophies?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Hopman Cup.- Davis Cup.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Hopman Cup, Fed Cup.- Davis cup.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Davis Cup and Kremlin Cup.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Right. We've got...
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Dean Martin.- Dean Martin.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- No, Davis is gone.- Davis is gone.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Perhaps it's not them.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20QUIET CONFERRING
0:21:23 > 0:21:27BUZZ Are they characters from something?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Deacon...
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Three strikes and you're out, now.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36So...
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Bishop.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Sister.- Nancy Sinatra?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Good neighbour?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Erm... Sister Act?- Only child, something like that?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- We've got time. Steve Martin. - We've got knight.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05John Bishop's a comedian. Steve Martin's a comedian.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13We need to start.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15BUZZ
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Two goes now, and 30 seconds.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23BUZZ
0:22:28 > 0:22:33That's it! You've solved the wall! You seem surprised.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I'll give you an immediate four points for providing that solution.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40What about the connections? Fed, Hopman, Davis, Kremlin.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43They are Cup competitions in tennis.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46That's right. Tennis Cups. I thought that was pretty obscure.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49But I guess that's one of your specialist areas, the old sport.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Canon, Priest, Pope, Deacon?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Ranks in the Catholic clergy.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55You could say Catholic clergy,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Christian clergy really.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59They're all clergyman.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03What about this one, Child, Night, Neighbour, Sister?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05All followed by Act.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08No, they're all followed by Hood.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Oh!- Childhood, Knighthood,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Neighbourhood, Sisterhood.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13That's what that one is.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16And the last one, Lawford, Bishop, Sinatra, Martin?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Erm, Rat Pack.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21They're all members of The Rat Pack.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23It was Bishop that threw you, Joey Bishop,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25he was a comedian and singer.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28He was actually an early host of The Tonight Show before Johnny Carson.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29And the others, Peter Lawford,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33So, four points for the groups you found
0:23:33 > 0:23:37and three more for connections, that's a total of seven.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Time to bring back the Software Engineers,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41give them a little computer, they'll be comfortable with that
0:23:41 > 0:23:43until they see the new wall.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45It's the Water Wall for you guys.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50You've got two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52OK...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Moan, Gripe, Grouse,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- what else have we got? - Beef?- Beef.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00No. Whine.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03OK.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Right...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08There we go.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Erm...- Stockpile.- A Cache...
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Safe place to put things, Stock, Reserve, Hoard.- And Store.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15There we go, excellent.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Remember, three strikes now and you're out.- OK...
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Got time.- So, we've got Rainman, Mailman.- Chaingang.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Chainmail. Chainsmoke.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Chain store. OK, so what?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30So it's the other three in a group.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32What's the other three?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Let's take...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36But we don't know it's those three so put the other three together...
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Fair enough. Pure, Moan.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- ..and try and think of a connection.- Rain...
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Are they pop groups?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I...don't think so, but don't ask me.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Anagrams? - Anagrams is quite plausible.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Rain is not helping much.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Train.- We've got oodles of time...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- We do.- Is it a suffix?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Well, this is the prefix so that's unlikely to be a suffix.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Halfway through the time.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Urm...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06This is...
0:25:06 > 0:25:07HE SIGHS
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Oman.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Peru.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- No.- Mali.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Mali. Shall we...? - Take Rain out first -
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- put Mali in and find another country.- I can't think of Chainrain.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Shall we try that? Yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Yes!- That's it, you've solved the Wall,
0:25:30 > 0:25:31so that's four points immediately.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Let's look for the connections. Whine, Beef, Gripe, Grouse.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37They're worse for complaining.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Ways to complain.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Cash, Stock, Hoard, Reserve.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44They're stockpiles, things you keep in reserve.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- You store things safely. - That's it, they are stores.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50What about this - Rain, Moan, Pure, Mail?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52They're anagrams of countries.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54That's right. You said Rain
