0:00:21 > 0:00:25Hello and welcome to a very special edition of Only Connect,

0:00:25 > 0:00:29in which our reigning undefeated champions, the Crossworders,

0:00:29 > 0:00:34are going to take on the 2010 winners of University Challenge.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36It's a clash of the titans.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Six expert quizzers, all of them so clever that, to be honest,

0:00:39 > 0:00:46I might be a little intimidated by them if it weren't for the Heckler & Koch P30 locked breech pistol

0:00:46 > 0:00:47I have strapped to my thigh.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Now, I'm very excited about this quiz,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51so let's hurry straight on and meet the teams.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55On my right, it's the undefeated champions of Only Connect,

0:00:55 > 0:00:57the Crossworders.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Mark Grant, an accountant and native Australian with a degree in criminology and philosophy.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Ian Bayley, an Oxford computing graduate

0:01:04 > 0:01:07who now lectures in computer science.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09And their captain, David Stainer,

0:01:09 > 0:01:11a politics, philosophy and economics graduate

0:01:11 > 0:01:15who now works as a solicitor for a leading law firm.

0:01:15 > 0:01:20United by their love of all things cryptic, they are the Crossworders.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22David, you're familiar faces on Only Connect now.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25How are you feeling about your opponents tonight?

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Well, having seen them win University Challenge

0:01:28 > 0:01:31in very resounding style, nervous.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well, let's meet them.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36On my left, their worthy opponents.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38A trio from Emmanuel College, Cambridge.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40It's the University Challengers.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Jenny Harris, a French and Latin student,

0:01:42 > 0:01:46who sings with a Cambridge choir and runs a poetry website.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Josh Scott, a medical student who's also an accomplished drummer.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52And their captain, Alex Guttenplan,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55currently studying for a degree in natural sciences,

0:01:55 > 0:01:58who enjoys rowing, sailing and playing the violin.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Hello, Alex.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Hello.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06Lovely. Oh, I have to ask you some sort of question, sorry.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Yes, you won University Challenge. Here at Only Connect,

0:02:10 > 0:02:13we consider that a bit of light-hearted fun for the kids.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16How have you prepared for the mental challenges of this show?

0:02:16 > 0:02:20To be honest, I'm not sure how much we've managed to do.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24We've been practising the connecting walls on the website

0:02:24 > 0:02:27and trying to think of things that are in sequences.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Oh, we have to play the quiz. I'm so sorry.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Yes, on with the quiz.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Now, I've had a look at the questions. I've had a good laugh.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40And I think I can safely say, this is about to be the hardest quiz

0:02:40 > 0:02:42ever broadcast on British television.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'm sure it'll be no problem for these guys,

0:02:45 > 0:02:48but if you at home manage to get a single question correct,

0:02:48 > 0:02:52why not write in and apply to be a contestant on a future series?

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Or indeed the presenter.

0:02:53 > 0:02:59Now, round one - you will know this, of course, Crossworders, but new to you, University Challengers -

0:02:59 > 0:03:03I simply want to know what is the connection between four apparently random clues,

0:03:03 > 0:03:08but the fewer clues you need to see before giving me that answer, the more points you'll get.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12You won the toss, so you will be first to choose your Egyptian hieroglyph.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14I'll go for the Lion, please.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18The Lion. OK. These are going to be picture clues.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20You will shout next when you're ready to see another one.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23And your first one is coming up now.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Next.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Towards Mecca.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Next.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38The flag of Bahrain.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43So what's the Hebrew letter?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Could that be a place?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Next.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Qwerty. Things that begin with Qs. - Ten seconds.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56BELL

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Things that start with Q.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01And not a U.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03That's it. They start with Q and not a U.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06You're looking at Qoph, a letter of the Hebrew alphabet,

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Qibla is the direction in which Muslims pray towards Mecca,

0:04:09 > 0:04:12that's not the flag of Bahrain, it's the flag of Qatar,

0:04:12 > 0:04:15and a Qwerty keyboard. They start with a Q, but no U. Well done.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Crossworders, please choose your own question.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Eye of Horus, please.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23First clue coming up now.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Next.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Shall we go... - Is it in order of foundation?

0:04:36 > 0:04:38It's not. Next, please.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Things formed by merger of other things?

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Possible. Inland Revenue, Custom and Excise.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Is HMRC three objects?- Ten seconds.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55It would be three crowns for the Swedish Air Force...

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Shall we go next? Next, please.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Five seconds.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02A crown?

0:05:02 > 0:05:06You sound nervous, but you're completely correct.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10They all feature a crown in their logo. So, one point to you.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Back to you then, Challengers, to pick a hieroglyph.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Twisted Flax, please. - First clue coming up now.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- The Glass Bead Game.- Does anyone know what that is? Next.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Is it arranged according to your particular schema?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Like, the corners? Go again.- Next.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39That rings a bell. Is it fictional?

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Don't know. Next.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47Ten seconds.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Circles. I think, yes.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Circles.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Nice guess, but not the answer.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Crossworders, do you know it for a bonus?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Luck? Is it an element of chance?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04There's an element of luck in it?

0:06:04 > 0:06:09The South Korean flag contains parts of the I Ching,

0:06:09 > 0:06:12which is a game based on chance.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15I'm going to stop you there, Dr Bayley. I like your style.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18But I'm afraid a team-mate of yours has already given an answer,

0:06:18 > 0:06:20which is elements of chance.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23David, you're the team captain. What's your answer?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Now you've put me on the spot.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31I think I'd better go for Mark's first answer in fairness.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35Involvement of games of chance in all of those things.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38It is not about games of chance.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42These are all things that are influence by the I Ching.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Hermann Hesse's novel, the Glass Bead Game, influenced by that,

0:06:45 > 0:06:47and the choreography of Merce Cunningham.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51The logo of the Dharma Initiative and the South Korean flag

0:06:51 > 0:06:53both feature trigrams, designs from the I Ching.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57So, no points there, but, Crossworders, it's your turn to choose your own question.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Could we have Water, please?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01First clue is coming up now.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Next, please.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15That's a nickname he was given in a particular battle.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Is that gold? Shall we go next? Next, please.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22He was assassinated by his own side.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Stonewall Jackson was killed by his own troops.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30OK, yeah. They were all killed by their own troops.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Coming in after three clues, you get two points.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34They were all killed by their own troops.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37The last one would have been Commander of the Potemkin.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Aurelien's actually a different... Oh, I interrupted you, I apologise.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44We all confuse our Aureliuses, with our Aurelians.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46We're talking about the one who was killed by his own troops,

0:07:46 > 0:07:49as was Stonewall Jackson, in the American Civil War. Anwar Sadat.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52And the Commander of the Potemkin. Two points to you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Back to the University Challengers to pick a question.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Horned Viper, please.- That's going to be the sound or music question.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01You will be hearing your clues.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Shout next when you want to hear another one.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Your time starts now.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08MUSIC PLAYS

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Next.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18MAN TALKS IN SERBIAN

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Something about going into space?

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Next.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30# Go, go Go Johnny, go, go... #

0:08:30 > 0:08:32I think this is stuff broadcast into space.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Yeah. Into or from? I think into.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38BELL

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Things that have been broadcast into space?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Give me a little bit more.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46From satellites.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'm going to accept it. They were all put on satellite,

0:08:49 > 0:08:53specifically the Voyager satellites, that went out in 1977.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55You heard Tsuru No Sugomori and Johnny B Goode.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58You would have heard Beethoven's Symphony No 5.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01And the second one, a little hello in Serbian.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05They were all put on the Golden Record that went out on satellites.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well done. Crossworders, that leaves the Two Reeds for you.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Your first clue is coming up now.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15People who've got nothing? Next.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19He was the shoe thrower.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22OK.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27I can't immediately tie them in with Fortis shareholders.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Next, please.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Are they people who've thrown shoes? OK.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33BELL

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- People who've thrown shoes. - For what reason?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Saboteurs threw their clogs

0:09:39 > 0:09:41into machinery to break it.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45Muntadar al-Zaidi is the Iraqi journalist

0:09:45 > 0:09:48who through a shoe at George W Bush.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49Fortis shareholders, I presume,

0:09:49 > 0:09:53were so cross by their chief executive that they threw shoes.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I don't know. I'm guessing.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57You're quite right. They threw shoes at the chairman.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59These people have thrown shoes in protest.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03The last one would have been, Nikita Khrushchev, the Russian leader.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04He banged his shoe!

0:10:04 > 0:10:05If you'd like me to take away the point

0:10:05 > 0:10:08because they didn't technically throw shoes,

0:10:08 > 0:10:11they just used them in a way shoes are not supposed to be used,

0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'll happily throw it over for a bonus.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15- It's fine.- He threw it!

0:10:15 > 0:10:18When he did that, Harold Macmillan just paused

0:10:18 > 0:10:20and said, "Can we have a translation?"

0:10:20 > 0:10:23At the end of a prickly round one,

0:10:23 > 0:10:26the University Challengers have got three points.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28The Crossworders are in the lead with five.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33They said it was impossible, but it's about to get harder.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37In round two, there are sequences. Still four clues, but this time

0:10:37 > 0:10:40the teams may not see the fourth, because I want to know what it is.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43University Challengers, your turn to go first again.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Eye of Horus, please.- You're about to see the first in a sequence.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50What's fourth? Time starts now.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Might be a river. Next.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Some kind of religious thing?

0:11:02 > 0:11:04We'll have to go for next. Next.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Krishna.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09- Vishnu?- Try it.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Some Hindu god, anyway.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Reincarnations...

0:11:16 > 0:11:18BELL

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Vishnu.- I'm afraid that's not the answer I'm looking for.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25So I'm throwing it over to the Crossworders for a possible bonus.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Buddha?

0:11:27 > 0:11:32The answer is Buddha. You were completely on the right lines there.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35They are Avatars of Vishnu. Successive incarnations.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Next after Krishna was Buddha.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Crossworders, please choose your own question.- Horned Viper, please.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44First in a sequence coming up. What's fourth? Time starts now.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Next, please.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Then it's Permian.

0:11:57 > 0:12:03Then it's... Triassic, I think.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06- What about Cambrian? - Cambrian's before.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian,

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Triassic.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Have a look at those two clues.

0:12:16 > 0:12:21Think about how the sequence works and give me another answer.

0:12:21 > 0:12:22Tr-Tri...

0:12:22 > 0:12:24What's it named after?

0:12:24 > 0:12:25I'm going to stop you there.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28I'm afraid Triassic is not the answer I'm looking for.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I'm going to show the third in the sequence

0:12:30 > 0:12:32to the University Challengers.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Is it Triad or something?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36I'm not inviting you to have a long chat.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Three.- I'm not going to take that either because I was tough on them

0:12:40 > 0:12:43and I'd need to take something exact from you.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46These are derivations of geological periods.

0:12:46 > 0:12:51And Triassic would be right, but its derivation is Three Strata.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54That or three layers was what I wanted to hear.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55How the word came to be.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59So, no points there. Challengers, please choose a hieroglyph.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Lion.- First in a sequence coming up

0:13:01 > 0:13:04and I can tell you these are going to be picture clues.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06What will be in the fourth picture?

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Time starts now.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12The old flag of Spain. Not the current one.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Next.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Mexico...- OK.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21So what could the order be?

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Next.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26That's Cuba.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Right, so Spain...

0:13:28 > 0:13:30But the old one, Mexico...Cuba...

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Is it flags that have changed recently?

0:13:33 > 0:13:35How recently did they change?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Is it the order in which they changed the flag?

0:13:38 > 0:13:41I think it may be Spain and then in order of independence from it.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Five seconds. - Because Cuba's not...

0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Two seconds.- Next? BELL

0:13:48 > 0:13:50What happens next is the question I'm going to ask you.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- You buzzed?- Flag of Argentina? - I'm afraid that's not correct.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Possible bonus for you, Crossworders.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59The Stars and Stripes. The American flag.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- That is the correct answer. Can you tell me why?- Mark.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04It's various countries that have ruled Texas.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07So, Spain, Mexico, the Texan flag and the United States.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Absolutely. This is the flags that have flown over Texas.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11It was controlled by Spain,

0:14:11 > 0:14:15then Mexico. That third one, the Republic of Texas.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17After that, the United States.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18Well done for the bonus.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20And now the chance to choose your own question.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Twisted Flax, please.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26What comes fourth in this sequence?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28First one now.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32That's one seventh, isn't it? Shall we go, next?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Next.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36That's two sevenths.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40OK, so that's three sevenths, four sevenths, so it's...

0:14:40 > 0:14:42These just cycle through.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45So it'll be 0.428571. That's four sevenths.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- No, it's not.- It'll be 0.56 something, won't it?- No, it won't.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Four sevenths is just over half. BELL

0:14:52 > 0:14:57- 0.428571...- I'm afraid that's not the right answer.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00I'm going to show the third in the sequence

0:15:00 > 0:15:02to the University Challengers.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05It's 0.428571.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08What do you think is fourth?

0:15:08 > 0:15:120.571428.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15That's the right answer. And what's the reason?

0:15:15 > 0:15:19It's one, two, three and four sevenths in decimal.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22That's exactly it. The decimal value of sevenths. I think you knew,

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Crossworders, the numbers do cycle around.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27It's just you gave us three sevenths.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29I overruled a member of my team as well. Sorry, team.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32You needed to start at the number five.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34So that's a bonus to you, Challengers. Well done.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Please choose a hieroglyph. - Water, please.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Your first in a sequence is coming up. What's fourth?

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Time starts now.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45That's a degree, I think.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Next.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53They're...standards for a metre.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Are they?

0:15:55 > 0:15:58The current standard for a metre

0:15:58 > 0:16:02is distance light travels in a certain fraction of a second.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04- BELL - OK.

0:16:04 > 0:16:10The distance light travels in roughly one 300,000th of a second.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14You're so right, you've given me more detail even then I needed.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18The connection, as I think you know, historical definitions of a metre.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21It was at first a fraction of the Earth's meridian.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24Then there was a platinum bar, then wavelengths of krypton radiation.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Next would be distance travelled by light

0:16:27 > 0:16:29to define the length of one metre. Very well done.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32So that leaves one question for you, Crossworders.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's the Two Reeds.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Your first clue is coming up now.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42OK. Hang on...

0:16:42 > 0:16:44It's... Next.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54It's a Roman Numeral that appears in the letters for that number.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58So, five has got IV in the middle of it.

0:17:01 > 0:17:038 = I?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Because that's all it's got in it?

0:17:05 > 0:17:09- We'll get the next one. - It could be seven...

0:17:09 > 0:17:10I'm not quite following you.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Five seconds.

0:17:12 > 0:17:148 = I.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15For what reason?

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Well, they're the numbers 5, 6, 7 and 8.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22And the Roman Numeral that is in the letters

0:17:22 > 0:17:25for the spelling of that word.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28So seven will be five.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Very well spotted. They are Roman Numerals

0:17:30 > 0:17:34hidden inside the numbers five, six, seven and eight.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Next would be 7 = V, or five, 8 = I.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Excellent.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42That means, at the end of round two, that the University Challengers

0:17:42 > 0:17:46on this tough quiz have got an impressive seven points.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49But the Crossworders are in the lead with ten.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Time to play the Connecting Wall.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59This is where 16 fiendish little clues all come at once.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03The teams have to sort them into four connected groups of four.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Crossworders, it's your turn to go first this time.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10You may see red herrings in this grid, but there's only one four-part solution.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12So, your first decision.

0:18:12 > 0:18:18- Would you like Lion or Water? - We'll go for Water, please.- OK, the Water wall is coming your way.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22You've got two-and-a-half minutes starting now.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Jacuzzi was...

0:18:24 > 0:18:28OK, people named after their inventors... No...

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- And leotard.- Yes, yes.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Right, OK.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Norwegians?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Grieg is Norwegian. So is Munch.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40And Harket. Shall we take them out?

0:18:40 > 0:18:45OK, so Mother Courage, Mother Hubbard, Mother Goose, Mother Nature.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48So, what are the other four? They're films, are they?

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Captain Hollywood, Captain Maverick?

0:18:51 > 0:18:54No. Planet Hollywood?

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Iceman is a sort of superhero, is he?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Are they roles played... Who played Maverick?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Tom Cruise.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Are they roles played by Tom Cruise?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Oh, Top Gun!

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Is he Hollywood in Top Gun?

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Yes, Top Gun. Is he Hollywood in something else?

0:19:12 > 0:19:16They are roles played by Tom Cruise in different films, do you think?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Or are they people in Top Gun?

0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Because they all had nicknames. - Yeah, maybe they are.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25So, characters in Top Gun, yeah?

0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Except, I'm not sure about Hollywood.- OK, so...

0:19:32 > 0:19:34You've solved the wall. Excellent work.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Four points immediately for the groups you've found.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39What about the connections?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Shrapnel, Leotard, Jacuzzi, Silhouette.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43They're things that are

0:19:43 > 0:19:46named after the person who invented or developed them.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'm afraid I can't take that answer.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51They are all things that were named after people,

0:19:51 > 0:19:54but not all the inventors. It was Henry Shrapnel

0:19:54 > 0:19:57who invented the Shrapnel shell.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59But silhouette, for example,

0:19:59 > 0:20:02named after a French politician, Etienne de Silhouette.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05They are things named after people. Eponymous things.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06Not their inventors, though.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Next group. The green group. What do you think of that one?

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Famous Norwegians.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13They are. I didn't read it out because I'd have had to say "Munk".

0:20:13 > 0:20:18Too much of a clue. Morten Harket from a-ha. Do you know the others?

0:20:18 > 0:20:19Vidkun Quisling.

0:20:19 > 0:20:24- Norwegian Nazi traitor.- His name a byword for traitor now.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Grieg the composer and Munch the artist.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29The painter Edvard Munch.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33So, a point for that. Nature, goose, courage, Hubbard.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Things that can be preceded by Mother.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Characters that begin with mother.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Viper, Maverick, Hollywood, Iceman.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41They're characters in the film Top Gun.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Yes, they are. Hollywood slightly more obscure than the others.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47Well deduced. So, four points

0:20:47 > 0:20:49for the groups that you've found.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Three points for the connections. That's a total of seven.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Let's bring in the University Challengers and see what happens

0:20:55 > 0:20:58in their first ever confrontation with the Connecting Wall.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00They're going to get the Lion wall.

0:21:00 > 0:21:0516 new clues which still need sorting into four connected groups of four.

0:21:05 > 0:21:06Hello, Challengers.

0:21:06 > 0:21:11You have got two-and-a-half minutes to solve this dastardly puzzle.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14The clues are coming up now.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17OK... Pub names...

0:21:19 > 0:21:21What's Forth Bridge?

0:21:21 > 0:21:25Celtic Cross... It's all one line?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28A box, for example.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Are some of them a thing on Only Connect like Delta and Lion?

0:21:31 > 0:21:33That could work. Den of vice...

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Oh, Dragon's Den.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44- Didn't even go there. - OK, so... So the Lion's gone.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46I think pubs is a distraction.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Box is a tree, I think.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Box hedge is a tree. Apricot can also be a tree.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54But none of the others.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Forth Bridge, Delta...

0:21:58 > 0:21:59Royal arms.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Are they pubs?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05No. Let's try something else.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Sinclair. Clive Sinclair. Acorn.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Delta, is that a computer make?

0:22:11 > 0:22:14No, it's an airline!

0:22:14 > 0:22:18Are they the emblem on a thing,

0:22:18 > 0:22:21like an acorn or a Celtic cross?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27Oh, it's spelt like that, Forth Bridge...is that...?

0:22:27 > 0:22:30The bridge over the Firth of Forth.

0:22:30 > 0:22:35But is there something specific about it? Is it a suspension bridge?

0:22:35 > 0:22:39It's a railway bridge, it's iron, it collapsed once...

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Quick, look for anything.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Shall we try some trees quickly?

0:22:44 > 0:22:46You've got a minute left.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Let's try...

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Dragon is Wales.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Oak tree is England.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00The Forth Bridge is Scotland.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07Dragon, oak tree, Celtic cross and they're on the royal arms? No!

0:23:07 > 0:23:11That wouldn't be it, would it? Let's try acorn.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15I think it's stuff you can draw without taking your finger off the page,

0:23:15 > 0:23:20- like a delta, a box, a Celtic cross and... Is it the Royal arms?- Malay?

0:23:24 > 0:23:25No, it's not acorn.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Is it some kind of stylised Dragon...? No, OK...

0:23:28 > 0:23:30That's probably a red herring.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Royal arms. Lion, unicorn, harp...

0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Ten seconds. - They don't have a dragon.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Stuff that's not on the royal arms.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45- I think that could be a lot of things!- Your time is up.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48The wall has frozen. So, you've got one group.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53That's a point. I'll give you another point for the connection. Gamblers, lion, vice, opium.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55- They're all dens. - All things you'd find in dens.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Den of gamblers, lion's den, vice den, opium den.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02You can still get points for the connections of the groups you didn't find.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03So let's resolve the wall.

0:24:03 > 0:24:08OK, royal arms, oak tree, Forth Bridge, Celtic cross.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Scotland? Would that be the connection?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Well... You probably might see

0:24:13 > 0:24:17an oak tree and the royal arms in Scotland, but not specific enough.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Now, this is a real classic pub quiz question.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24They are things that appear on the reverse of a pound coin.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Or have done. They have appeared on pound coins.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Next group, Acorn, Dragon, Apricot, Sinclair.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34Is that makes of computer?

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Or games consoles?

0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Computers? - That's it. Computer companies.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42I think three of them are actually defunct now.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45And the last one... Box, delta, Malay, stunt.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49- They're kites.- There you are. Just as I was worried that you guys

0:24:49 > 0:24:53spent too much time reading books and not enough time in the outdoors.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56They are types of kite. So, one point for the groups

0:24:56 > 0:24:58you found. Three extra points for the connections.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00That's a total of four points.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Let's see how that leaves the scores, going into round four.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06The University Challengers have 11 points.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09But the Crossworders are ahead with 17.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15Still, that's quite a narrow gap for a round four because a lot of points are available here.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18This will be where it is decided. This is the missing vowels round.

0:25:18 > 0:25:23We take well-known phrases or sayings, take out the vowels, squidge up the consonants.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Teams, I want to know what those phrases or sayings are.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28So, fingers on buzzers.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32The first group are all fictional pairs.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35- BELL - Crossworders.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Jeeves and Wooster.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Correct. - BELL

0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Crossworders.- Vladimir and Estragon.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45From Waiting For Godot. Correct.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54A tough one. This is from 1984. Winston Smith and Julia. Next clue.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57BELL

0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Challengers.- Hansel and Gretel. - Correct. Next category...

0:26:05 > 0:26:07BELL

0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Challengers.- 14 times three. - Correct.

0:26:18 > 0:26:23This one's horrible. It's the atomic number of molybdenum. Next clue.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33But how can you not get this? The messier number of the Orion Nebula.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Next clue. - BELL

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Challengers. - Life, The Universe And Everything.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42There it is at last for one point. Next category.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47BELL

0:26:47 > 0:26:48- Crossworders.- Pearl Harbor.- Correct.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52- BELL - Challengers.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Catch Me If You Can.- Correct.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57BELL

0:26:57 > 0:26:58- Crossworders.- Erin Brockovich. - Yes, it is.

0:27:02 > 0:27:03- BELL - Challengers.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Too long, I'm afraid. You lose a point.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Possible bonus, Crossworders. - A Beautiful Mind.- Correct.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11Next category, complete the analogy...

0:27:11 > 0:27:14White is to black as...

0:27:15 > 0:27:17BELL

0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Challengers.- Clean is to dirty. - Cos they're opposites.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Correct.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28- BELL - Challengers.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Snow is to coal. - One's white and one's black.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33BELL

0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Challengers.- First is to second.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Because in chess white goes first.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Correct.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48END OF ROUND MUSIC

0:27:49 > 0:27:53That last one was Barry is to Cilla.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56It's the singers Barry White and Cilla Black.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00So, at the end of round four and the end of the quiz,

0:28:00 > 0:28:05the University Challengers have a very impressive 17.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09But the still undefeated Crossworders win the quiz with 22.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12Very good job from you on a first attempt, University Challengers.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17Sorry you didn't win, but thanks very much for coming along to play.

0:28:17 > 0:28:25Crossworders, your undefeated status untarnished, despite this noble assault from a rival show.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27Very well done. So, that's the end of that.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30Although we are considering another special

0:28:30 > 0:28:33possibly for the future in which the winners of this

0:28:33 > 0:28:36take on the winners of the BBC One show Total Wipeout.

0:28:36 > 0:28:42The results of that I think will be largely dependent on whether it's a home or away fixture. Goodbye.
