0:00:21 > 0:00:25Hello and welcome to what may prove a historic Only Connect clash,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27between champions and champions.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31For tonight, our series one and two champs, the Crossworders,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35will take on our series three and four winners, the Epicureans.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37You may think, with such a huge quizzing battle,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39that our friendly show could descend
0:00:39 > 0:00:40into bitterness and hostility.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42But, in a shock twist,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45the captains of the rival teams tonight are husband and wife,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49so there should be bitterness and hostility right from the start.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Who are these great rivals?
0:00:51 > 0:00:52On my right - Aaron Bell,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54an Internet bookmaker
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and Oxford graduate who plays cricket for his local village team.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59David Brewis,
0:00:59 > 0:01:00a chemistry schoolmaster
0:01:00 > 0:01:03and amateur magician with an interest in aviation.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And their captain, Katie Bramall-Stainer, a GP partner
0:01:05 > 0:01:10with a passion for art and an interest in medico-politics.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13United by their love of expensive wines and fine dining,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15they are the Epicureans.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Katie, you're the series four champions.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21You also defeated the series three champions, the Gamblers.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23How have the Epicureans' lives been transformed?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's been business as usual, really.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I think it's been more stressful for our cat, Boodles.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32She vomited over one of the trophies in our living room window the other week.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36It was David's trophy so is that a blessing, is that a curse?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38We'll have to find out.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- The cat vomited on the trophy? - Indeed.- Everyone's a critic.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Let's see who you're meeting tonight.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46On my left, in the red corner,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49it's Mark Grant,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51a criminology graduate and practising accountant
0:01:51 > 0:01:54with an interest in urban geography and classical music.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Ian Bayley,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59a computer sciences lecturer at Oxford Brookes University
0:01:59 > 0:02:01who enjoys American and Russian history
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and listening to the music of Tchaikovsky.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And their captain, David Stainer,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09a politics, philosophy and economics graduate and Exeter FC supporter
0:02:09 > 0:02:12who works as a solicitor for a leading London law firm.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They are united by their love of cryptic crosswords.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19We know them as the greatest team in Only Connect history.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21They are the Crossworders.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23David, you won the first series of Only Connect,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26beating the Birkbeck Alumni, the Edinburgh Scrabblers,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29the Science Writers and the Lapsed Psychologists.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32You also beat the Rugby Boys in the Champion of Champions
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and the amazing Alex Guttenplan
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and the University Challengers in a special.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Tonight, it's your own wife. How are you feeling?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Somewhat nervous. They're a very good team, who were
0:02:44 > 0:02:49very, very convincing in winning the fourth series and the play-off against the Gamblers so I think
0:02:49 > 0:02:54we're going to need to be on our very best form tonight to win again and maintain that winning run.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I like your humility.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Let's get this tug-of-war underway.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Round One, I think you will remember, teams.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06I simply want to know what is the connection between four apparently random clues.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09But if you come in after fewer than four clues, you can get more points.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15Epicureans, you won the toss but you decided to put the Crossworders in first.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19So, Crossworders, please choose your Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20- Water.- Water.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24The first clue of the champion of champions of champions
0:03:24 > 0:03:26of champions special coming up now.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Next.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Invented by a guy called Baldwin.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Invented by a guy called...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Nothing to do with team sizes.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Volley is six. Basketball, five.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43But it's not an orders round. Next.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Is it a particular city or a particular state?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh, yeah, they could be.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Invented in Chicago?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Was it Massachusetts?- Was it Boston?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Ten seconds.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Next.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Five seconds.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05BELL
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Invented in Boston, Massachusetts.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Not the connection, I'm afraid, so
0:04:09 > 0:04:11a possible bonus for the Epicureans.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I think they are all invented but...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Yeah, yeah. What shall we go for? - What's your answer?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Er, they're all of American origin.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20No, it's to do with their invention.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And, funnily enough, I think they all began in America
0:04:22 > 0:04:24but you know we're more precise than that here.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26This is the connection...
0:04:26 > 0:04:30they were all invented or inaugurated at YMCAs.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Volleyball and basketball first played at YMCAs.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Toastmasters International first met at a YMCA in California.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43And Fathers' Day first celebrated in 1910, at a YMCA in Washington state.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45So no points there.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Epicureans please pick a question.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Two reeds, please. MUSICAL NOTE
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Ah! The music question, or sound. You'll be hearing your clues.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54First one coming up now.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57# Panic on the streets... #
0:04:57 > 0:04:59That's Panic by The Smiths.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01But it is Panic, exclamation mark.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Bear that in mind.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Next.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08# Baby, your mind is a radio... #
0:05:08 > 0:05:09It's Talking Heads.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Baby, my mind is a radio, like a receiver.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14DJ. Is that DJs, hang the DJ and panic?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Maybe.- Next.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19# ..boy child's comin', gonna be
0:05:19 > 0:05:22# He's gonna be a Rollin' Stone... #
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Otis Redding?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25No, no, no, it's John Lee Hooker.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Ten seconds.- Next.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28# I'd sit alone... #
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Yeah, it's all radio. So it's all about songs including radios, DJs.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33BELL
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Er, songs mentioning radio and DJs.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I'm afraid they do not so there's a possible bonus chance
0:05:40 > 0:05:42for the Crossworders here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I think they're songs that inspired the names of other acts.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46You had Radiohead by Talking Heads.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You had Radio Gaga by Queen - Lady Gaga.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I think it may be Panic! at the Disco,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55the well-known emo band who were inspired by Panic by the Smiths.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I've got no idea what the third piece of music was.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Nevertheless, it's a brilliant answer. You get the bonus point.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03The third piece was Muddy Waters' Rollin' Stone.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Ah, yeah, could have worked it out.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08They are songs that inspired the names of other performing artists.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Well done, Crossworders.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11You win the right to choose your own question.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Eye of Horus, please.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14The Eye of Horus.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17What is the connection here? First one coming up now.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22OK, next.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31It's not just arithmetical, is it ?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Yeah, could be.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Are they the letters? Q is 17, B is 15.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38No, I don't think it is, then.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44A Queen is to Bishop?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Shall we go next?- Yeah.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- Ten seconds.- Next.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56What can Z possibly stand for? There aren't too many things.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Buzz in if you want to guess.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59No, I don't think we've got a clue.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01OK, another bonus chance for the Epicureans.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I don't think we've got an answer, I'm afraid.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Now, imagine that these letters were in lower case.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10- Ah!- Ah!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13If they were in lower case then the second letter would be
0:07:13 > 0:07:15the first letter upside-down.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23First letter is the second letter upside-down, IF in lowercase.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25So, Epicureans, please see if you
0:07:25 > 0:07:28can get off the zero with your next question.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Twisted flax, please.- Twisted flax. First clue coming up now.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I know that name but I can't think of what it is.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Next.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43'86, '66, '46, '26?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I don't know. Shall we go next? Next.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Oh, it's Time's Person of the year.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48OK, it's not.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Was he Prime Minister in that year?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52He became prime minister in...
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, presidents... no, it's only Europe.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Became prime ministers of their respective countries?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00It's got to be more specific than that. Shall we go one more? Next.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Next.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02You've got ten seconds.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Are they vice presidents who assumed office?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Yeah, they obviously assumed office in those years.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- On the death of the...- Yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11BELL
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Er, they were premiers who assumed office in those years,
0:08:14 > 0:08:15on the death of their predecessor.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'll accept that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20They assumed power after their predecessors died,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22in fact, were assassinated.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25They all came to power after assassinations.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Lyndon B Johnson followed JFK.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Lord Liverpool followed Spencer Perceval, who was shot,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30the British Prime Minister.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32John Vorster in South Africa
0:08:32 > 0:08:34succeeded Hendrik Verwoerd, who was stabbed.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38And Ingvar Carlsson, a Swedish prime minister who succeeded
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Olof Palme who was shot in 1986.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43So you get the point. You're off the blocks. Well done.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45The Crossworders to pick a question.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Horned viper, please.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Horned viper, OK.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Your first clue is coming up now.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Next.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Is that the definition of something?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Are they? Yeah, maybe they are.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Do you think we go for one more or should we... Next.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Is it something you mark with a line underneath it?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Erm, no, you mark it with two bars on either side.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Shall we go with it or shall we go next?
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- No idea.- Next.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26They were Jack Absolute. Yeah, it's all to do with that.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27BELL
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Absolute. - Lucky you took that fourth clue.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34They are all absolutes, the protagonists in The Rivals called absolute.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Magnitude of a real number, I think I heard you say.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Syntactic independence, that's a sub-clause,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41independent of the rest of the sentence. That's an absolute.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43And transcending existence exists by its own nature.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Very well done. And back to the Epicureans.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Lion, please.- That's the one that remains.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51These are going to be picture clues. What do they have in common?
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Time starts now.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Is that a hotel of some description?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Next.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00That's the Cenotaph.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Was the first one that thing in Copenhagen?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Shall we go next? Next.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So that's the London Eye.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14It's by the Shell building.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Have they been moved? Next.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Oh, they were originally designed as temporary structures.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Yeah, yeah, yeah. Excellent.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30BELL
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Buildings that were originally intended to be temporary constructs
0:10:34 > 0:10:36but are now permanent.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38That's it, with just a few seconds to spare.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42They were all intended to be temporary but were permanent.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44You didn't recognise the first picture?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Is it in Copenhagen?- That is the Young Vic Theatre.- Is it?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That was meant to be temporary. It's now over 40 years old.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The Cenotaph - originally built in wood and was just going to be temporary,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55but they replaced it in stone and, of course, it's still there.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58The London Eye got planning permission for five years, I think.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01And the Eiffel Tower - built for the exhibition and still there.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03They were all meant to be temporary, though.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Well done. That means, at the end of Round One,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07the Epicureans have got two points.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10The Crossworders have also got two points.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Round Two - sequences. What's fourth in the sequence?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18That is what I'll be asking. Kicking off again with the Crossworders.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Please pick a hieroglyph.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- Eye of Horus.- All right.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24You may come in after as many clues as you think you need,
0:11:24 > 0:11:25but I want to know what's fourth.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27First one coming up now.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Next.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Something became a republic.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37No, we want the fourth, don't we?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38First, second, third, fourth.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42The fourth began in '45. Is that right?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Yeah, are we talking 1945, shall we go with that?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47BELL
0:11:47 > 0:11:481945.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I'm afraid not.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52So I'll show the third in the sequence to the Epicureans.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55If you can tell me what's fourth, there's a bonus point.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- I think it is French republic.- Shall we try...- I can't let you chat.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Please give me an answer.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- 1956.- That's not it, either.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Now, Crossworders, I think you had the right answer for the connection,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- which is they're years of the first four French republics.- Yeah.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08- Next - 1946.- Ow!
0:12:08 > 0:12:12You were out by a year. When de Gaulle resigned - 1946.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So, right connection, wrong answer, I'm afraid.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Epicureans, please pick a question. - Twisted flax, please.- OK.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20First in a sequence coming up now.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Next.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Are they the signs of different angles?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- I'd go for one more.- Next.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Yeah, are they what you said?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I think it's approaching something.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49I would say one, to be honest.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Is it sines or cosines?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Well, that's gone less than...
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Five seconds.- Is it zero?- One.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59BELL
0:12:59 > 0:13:01One.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Are you doing that quiz thing where, if you don't know the answer,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06say Red Rum, Muhammad Ali or one?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Yes.- Well, I am, but they're quite good at maths.- I was once.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Not, I'm afraid, in this case. That is not the answer I'm looking for.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Crossworders, do you want to have a go?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17We think it could be one half, or one over two.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Because it's the sine of 30.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21The previous one is the sine of 45.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25The one before that is the sine of 60 degrees.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30And, I imagine, the one before that is the sine of 75,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32although I don't know for certain.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34You've crawled your way there brilliantly.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It is the cosine of 15, 30, 45 and 60 degrees
0:13:36 > 0:13:39and a half would be the fourth in that sequence.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Very well done.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I don't mind telling you that's the sort of question that
0:13:43 > 0:13:44I see in my nightmares.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I wake up screaming with visions like that in my head.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Well done, you. And it's your own turn to play a sequence question.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51- Water.- All right.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53First one coming up now.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57That's a depression.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Shall we go next? Next.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Are they the four deepest depressions in the world?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05So, Dead Sea... I can't remember what the second one is.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Turfan's in China. It's near Rongqi.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09So Dead Sea or Death Valley?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Well, Dead Sea's the deepest in the world, isn't it?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14So if it's the four deepest in the world...shall we go with it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Or shall we go next?- Go next.- Next.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I mean, they're not all in Africa. Turfan's in Asia.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I think Lake Assal's Djibouti. I think that's the second.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25BELL
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Death Valley?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29No, I think it's Dead Sea. Dead Sea.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Crossworders, you should go with the courage of your convictions.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35You should've come in after two clues. It is Dead Sea.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37You saw three clues so get two points. Well done.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I think you're all warmed up. They are the four deepest depressions
0:14:40 > 0:14:43on the Earth's surface and the deepest would be the Dead Sea.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Back to you, then, Epicureans.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Two reeds, please.- All right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48These are going to be picture clues.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54First one coming up now.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56That is Casanova.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Is it?- Next.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I don't know who that is.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03- Shall we go next?- Next.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Is that George III or someone like that?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Or George Washington?- No, it's not George Washington.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It looks more like George III. I can't really see.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Do we have any idea of the second one?- No.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Shall we go for...- Five seconds.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Who was the first Prime Minister?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Just tell me.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Erm, Peel. Robert Peel?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33BELL
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Time's up, I'm afraid.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Over to the Crossworders for a possible bonus point.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Well, I think we'll go for Edward Elgar,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42on no better basis that we think it may be something to do with
0:15:42 > 0:15:44£20 notes and I seem to recall he was on one.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47But numismatism is very much not my speciality.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Are you doing that thing of when you're in a quiz,
0:15:49 > 0:15:50guess that it's things you see on £20 notes?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Yes.- Mm. You're not right, either.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Now, what if I were to tell you that the people you were looking at
0:15:56 > 0:16:00are Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger, and David Hume?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Philosophers song.- It is the philosophers song from Monty Python.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- And next in the sequence would be... - Schopenhauer?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Yeah, actually there is a version of the song with Schopenhauer.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I was looking for Hegel. I'd have taken either.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13The philosophers song.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It's just recognising those philosophers.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Too few picture books featuring them, I think.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19It's all words, words, words.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Right, no points on that one.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Crossworders, your turn to choose a question.- Lion, please.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Lion. OK, here's the first one now.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Next. Next.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34High court judges, something like that?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Oh, Supreme Court, yeah. So you've got that...
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Sotomayor's the most recent, isn't she?
0:16:38 > 0:16:39No, I don't think she is.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- I think she's Elenora Kagan. - Really?- More recent, I think.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45More recent than... OK, well...
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'm pretty certain that she is slightly more recent,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49so I think we going to go with that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- BELL - Kagan.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53The answer is Kagan and, as I think you know,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57they are the female justices from the US Supreme Court.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59First was Sandra Day O'Connor.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's in order of appointment and the most recent - Elena Kagan,
0:17:02 > 0:17:03appointed in 2010.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Very well done.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And back to the Epicureans. No choice for you.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08It will be the horned viper.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10What is the fourth in this sequence?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12First one coming up now.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Next.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26What do you think it might be?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I can't think of anything.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Oh, is it...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Could be. Shall we go next?
0:17:32 > 0:17:33- Yes.- Next.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Orange? Is it Space Invaders?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I'm not sure it is Space Invaders because the blue ones...
0:17:40 > 0:17:41I'd go orange.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I think it might be Space Invaders.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47- Shall we go for it?- Go for it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49BELL
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Row 4 equals orange.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- For what reason?- Space invaders?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'm afraid that's not the answer.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Space invaders?! Is that even in colour?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59That was a strange black and white thing
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- you played in the pub if your parents let you in, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Not the right answer. Possible bonus to the Crossworders.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Well, I think we might have said orange, too. But row 4 equals red.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- For what reason?- We don't know. - Rainbow flag?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yeah, we think maybe the rainbow flag, the gay pride flag.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I am frankly...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18disgusted with the lot of you.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20With the lot of you!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23These are the colours of the rows in a solved
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Only Connect Connecting Wall.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Row 4 - turquoise.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Do you know? It's like you don't watch the show.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- No.- Marvellous. - You don't care, do you?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36You won, took your trophies home, forgot about us.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Never mind us, sitting here, playing our Connecting Walls.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41You didn't even... Space Invaders?! I'm horrified!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I can barely bring myself to give the scores.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46But I must, otherwise we'll never go home.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47At the end of Round Two,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50the Epicureans have got two points,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52but the Crossworders are ahead with eight.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Time for the Connecting Wall.
0:18:56 > 0:18:5916 clues to be sorted into four connected groups of four.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Should you so choose, you can play these Connecting Walls online,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05at the same time as we play them here.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But I've had a look at them and, frankly, I shouldn't bother, if I were you.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Epicureans, though, you have no choice.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13You are going to play the Connecting Wall.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16In fact, you do have one choice. Would you like lion or water?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Water, please.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22You have got two and a half minutes to solve this wall, starting now.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28OK, we've got emergency things.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Well, the Love Bug, the most obvious thing about that is Herbie.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43What does orange smoke mean, in terms of Vatican choices?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Are these things that denote an emergency?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Could it be orange smoke, code red, a flare...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Channel 16? - 112 is an international one.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52112! Yes, yes, yes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Those two are both viruses. - Oh, good, yes.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- And so is Anna Kournikova. - Suicide virus?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Maybe windmill.- Maybe NC.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Shall we go for orange smoke, flare, code red and 112?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Do that with Channel 16. - 112 has to be an emergency.- NC. NC.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24No, no, keep the others in. Sorry.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25You've used a minute.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Leave out flare. What's NC anyway?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Don't know.- Leave out orange smoke?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- What's Melissa?- Melissa's a virus, so is the Love Bug.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38So is Anna Kournikova.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40So shall we just try something else?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- What about 1990?- We tried that.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45OK, just think about other things and I'll do these.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Windmill virus.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49OK, good.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55So we've got things that denote emergencies. That probably could be.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57That almost certainly is. That probably is and that is.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- But have we tried those ones? - Windmill won't be that, will it?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03What is Channel 16?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04What's the other group?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07That's what I'm trying to think.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Suicide girls.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Windmill - Moulin Rouge? Something that could be red.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14A colour?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17What happened in 1990? It was the World Cup.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Yeah, but there's no other year.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Shall we start putting some in?- Yes, yes.- Shall we go for the other ones?
0:21:24 > 0:21:25You've got 30 seconds.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- We've done all these. - Yeah, we have, haven't we?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Maybe they're not right, then.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Do you think a windmill is an emergency thing?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Could it be a semaphore or something like that?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Channel 16 - I think we did those.- We didn't try windmill.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45You've got one attempt now.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48And you're under ten seconds.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Try windmill?- OK.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Three seconds. No, that's it.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54OK, well, you've got two groups - that's two points.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56And I'll give you two more if you can tell me the connections.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Blue, A1, 911, East 17.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Er, they're pop groups.- Boy bands. - Boy bands, more specifically, yeah.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05They're boy bands.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08The Love Bug, code red, Melissa, Anna Kournikova.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Computer viruses.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13They were controversial, worldwide computer viruses.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Now, you can still get points for the connections in the groups
0:22:16 > 0:22:18you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22NC, Channel 16, orange smoke, 112.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- Warnings.- Things that sort of request help for an emergency.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28You know, like dialling 999, that sort of thing.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I'll take it. They're means by which a distress signal can be sent.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33But you get the bonus point.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36And the last group - suicide, flare, 1990, Windmill.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Mass... no, don't know.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Let there be no shame in and not getting that group.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44If anything, I like you more for it. It's about hip-hop.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46They're acrobatic dance moves.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49But you get two points for the groups you found and three more bonus points.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51That's a total of five.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Time to bring back the fearsome Crossworders,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56see what they can do with the Connecting Wall.
0:22:56 > 0:22:5716 new clues, of course.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Crossworders, you must sort it into four connected groups of four.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02You've got two and a half minutes to do that.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Starting now.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Monoid is to do with philosophy.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Group, ring and monoid are together.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- Group, ring, monoid and field. - What are they?
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Mathematical terms.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Webster - sort of language books? Partridge.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Yeah, Partridge and Fowler.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Grove is a dictionary.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Wormold is Our Man in Havana.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Lime is also from Graham Greene.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Who else is, though?- Grove, maybe?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Pulling?- No idea.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45No, OK, I'm just guessing now, aren't I?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49OK, dictionaries. Maybe Fowler's not really a dictionary, is it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Yeah, OK.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52What's the... oh, great!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Lime goes with Wormold.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Yeah, I bet Fowler is. I mean Fowler's a surname.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I would have thought... massive bodies, ideal bodies.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Yeah.- Ideal...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06What's Funland?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Something starting with, something ending with?- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Or can be preceded by... - Yeah, could be.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Are they different countries by one? Finland.- Oh, yeah.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Lima? No!
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Fenland? No.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Can you have an ideal gas but not an ideal anything else?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32We're not going to take anything but we've got Wormold, lime,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35and we're not really sure, but we think probably Fowler cos...
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I mean, Fowler and Pulling are the only two that could be surnames
0:24:39 > 0:24:41so what on earth is the connection between...
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You've got a minute left.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Super-massive?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Massive retaliation?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Ideal gas constant?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53What is it, three bodies rule?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55The three-bodied problem, yes.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Is there something in Funland?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Yeah, I...- Where is Funland, anyway?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I've just got no idea. It means nothing to me.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Shall we try these because if we're...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12There you go. You've solved the wall. That's four points immediately
0:25:12 > 0:25:15and there are more points available if you know the connections.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Field, Ring, Group, Monoid.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Mathematical terms. - It could be again maybe. Oh, yes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23These are mathematical terms for structured sets.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24They are terms in
0:25:24 > 0:25:26structural algebra, exactly.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Next group - Johnson, Webster, Grove, Partridge.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30They're the authors of dictionaries.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Simply that. Dictionary writers.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Lime, Wormold, Pulling, Fowler.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38The central characters of Graham Greene novels.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40They're characters in Graham Greene novels.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44And the last one - Ideal, Massive, Funland, Bodies.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Good luck.- Mm-hm!
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Well, erm...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I can't give you a long think.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- No, er...- Types of gases?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53VICTORIA LAUGHS
