0:00:21 > 0:00:25Who would win in a battle between a shark and a bear?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28The old joke says, it depends if it's a home or away match.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Keep that in mind as I tell you that tonight, in a very special episode of Only Connect,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36those fishy predators from this ocean of lateral thinking,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38the Crossworders, will be taking on
0:00:38 > 0:00:41a team of roaring killers from the woods of Mastermind.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46In a moment, I'll ask the producer to open the sluice gates and fill the studio with water.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49But first, before their speech is hampered by the snorkels,
0:00:49 > 0:00:50let's say hello to the teams.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52On my right, Mark Grant,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54an accountant
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and former amateur boxer with a passion for Benjamin Britten.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Ian Bayley, an Oxford computation graduate
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and committed Doctor Who fan,
0:01:02 > 0:01:06who now works as a senior lecturer at Oxford Brookes University.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And their captain, David Stainer,
0:01:08 > 0:01:13a practising solicitor and '80s pop fan who hails from Guildford.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16They remain undefeated champions of Only Connect. They are the...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19David, your team's seen off quite a few opponents.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21What's been the toughest opposition?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Well, I think it was probably my wife's team, the Epicureans.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30They were very tough and came roaring back in the Missing Vowels round
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and we were lucky to beat them by the skin of our teeth, I think.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36But we've had a number of very tricky opponents
0:01:36 > 0:01:39and I'm sure we'll face some further ones today.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Did the Epicureans pretend to be happy for you afterwards?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45No, I'm not sure they went that far,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48but they weren't too violent in their defeat either.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Let's see if you remain the undefeated champions
0:01:50 > 0:01:53because tonight, you are meeting, on my left...
0:01:53 > 0:01:55MASTERMIND THEME TUNE
0:01:55 > 0:01:57..Gavin Fuller, a newspaper librarian who is to date
0:01:57 > 0:02:00the youngest ever winner of Mastermind,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04winning the 1993 series at the age of 24.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Stephen Allen, actor and director, who was the 1991 series champion,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12choosing King Henry VII as his specialist subject.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And their captain, Nancy Dickmann, a publisher
0:02:15 > 0:02:20and aspiring novelist who won Mastermind in 2009.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24They are all series champions of the BBC quiz that pretends it's tough.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25They are the...
0:02:25 > 0:02:29So, Nancy, how do you feel about your opposition?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Well, they're obviously a very strong team
0:02:31 > 0:02:34but I think this team brings a lot to the table
0:02:34 > 0:02:36and I have beat Ian once before,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39so here's hoping I can make it two in a row.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Do you tend to score highly if you watch Only Connect?
0:02:41 > 0:02:47Yes, but probably not as highly as the Crossworders,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50so I'm very dependent on these two guys at either side of me.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Well, let's see what you can do.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We'll need to play the quiz in order to establish that.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Let's begin with round one, where I simply want to know,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01what is the connection between four apparently random clues?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Crossworders, you won the toss but rather cruelly,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07you are sending the newcomers in first.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Masterminders, please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12We'll have twisted flax, please.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14That is going to be the musical sound question.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16You'll be hearing your clues.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Shout "next" if you want to hear another one.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Your time starts now.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25MUSIC: "5th Symphony" by Gustav Mahler
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- I don't know what it is, do you? - Mahler.- Mahler, is it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Shall we have another?- Yeah. - Next please.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34MUSIC: "La Serenissima" by Rondo Veneziano
0:03:34 > 0:03:37That's Venice in Peril by Rondo Veneziano.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- It could be Venice. - Death In Venice, the film.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Do you want to go for that, or do you want to have another?- Up to you.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Are you pretty confident? BELL
0:03:45 > 0:03:47The connection is Venice.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Welcome to Only Connect, Masterminders,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52the connection IS Venice.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You recognised it was Mahler - Mahler's 5th,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57which is the music from Death In Venice.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58You came in during La Serenissima,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01the Serene Republic of Venice, that's named after.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05We'd have heard something from The Gondoliers, the Gilbert and Sullivan
0:04:05 > 0:04:08and We Open In Venice, from Kiss Me Kate.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09But you didn't need it.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11You get three points.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Looks like you could have
0:04:13 > 0:04:15some real opposition tonight, Crossworders.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Please pick a question. - Lion, please.- All right.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19First clue coming up now.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Next.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29That's sort of a code for something, I guess.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Shall we say next?- Next.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- Something to do with D-Day? - Could be, couldn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Radio codes for...? Shall we go for the last one?- Yeah.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Next, please.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Do we know where that is, at all? - That could be Pearl Harbor.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Shall we say military code words to start operations?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57BELL
0:04:57 > 0:05:01We think they might be military codes to commence certain operations.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I'm going to accept it. You've gone a bit too specific,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07but they are coded signals. That is absolutely right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10"It's a boy!" That was a telegram to say that the H-bomb
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- had been detonated.- Big Boy, yes!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15The cricket one, Donald Bradman,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17that was the Allies' signal of
0:05:17 > 0:05:19the attack on the Monte Cassino monastery.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Do you know the third one?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- The Battle of Guernica, maybe? - The Spanish Civil War.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25It was the radio message
0:05:25 > 0:05:28that triggered the coup in the Spanish Civil War.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30And "Climb Mount Nitaka"?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- I guessed Pearl Harbor?- The signal to start bombing Pearl Harbor.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Grisly coded signals was the connection there,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39so you're off the blocks with a point.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Back to the Masterminders to pick a question.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Horned viper, please. - OK. First clue, coming up now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Could be snake?- Viper?- Next, please.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Those are animals, obviously.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Do you get adders in Australia, which is where possums are from?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Next, please.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Squire? Oh, um...
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Could be something about the words, some word trick?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Shall we have another?- Oh!- Wait... Next, please.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Nottingham...
0:06:20 > 0:06:21- Five seconds.- Robin Hood?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23BELL
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Something to do with Robin Hood, possibly?- Oh yes?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30What has the second clue to do with Robin Hood?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Well, perhaps somebody's nickname was Possum Joe?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- It sounds a bit Robin Hood. - One of his Merry Men.- Possum Joe?!
0:06:36 > 0:06:37They weren't American!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39That's not the connection.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41The Crossworders have a possible bonus chance.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I think they're things
0:06:43 > 0:06:45that their name came from losing the first letter.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48So, opossum, esquire and I think Nottingham was called Snottingham.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I don't know about adder.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Adder, I do know about.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54An adder used to be called a nadder,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58and then, the "N" was moved from nadder to "A".
0:06:58 > 0:07:00You are absolutely right.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Nadder was Old English for adder.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Opossum, esquire, Nottingham was once called Snottingham
0:07:06 > 0:07:07after a Saxon chief
0:07:07 > 0:07:09who was named delightfully, Snot.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11That's a bonus point to you. Well done.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13You may now choose your question.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Water.- All right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20What do you think the connection is here? Have a look at the first clue.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- That's probably a chess game, isn't it?- Yes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Shall we go next?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Could be a whitewash. He did do a couple.- Oh, yeah?- Next.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Baby kidnap...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Oh, by Bruno Hauptmann...
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Shall we go next?- Yeah.- Next.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- That was the subject. - That was the first thing he did.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- It was crime of the century. - Yes.- Things "of the century".
0:07:46 > 0:07:48BELL
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Things that were billed something "of the century".
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Ball of the century, the bowl that caught Gatting out.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57The Lindergh baby kidnap, the crime of the century, I presume.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It was the game of the century, Byrne and Fischer.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yes, Byrne and Fischer, '56,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04not any old chess game but the game of the century.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05The crime of the century,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07the ball of the century,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09inexplicable cricketing nonsense,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and we would have seen The Quiz of the Week,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14the sale of the century, that was.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Well done. You're quite right.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Masterminders, please choose a question.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Eye of Horus, please.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23All right, here's your first clue, coming up now.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Could be naked. - Played by John Hurt.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Next, please.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Iran?- Notable homosexual?- No.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Ahmadinejad, that's in Iran, isn't it?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Shall we have another?- Yeah. - Next, please.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52He was killed, is that right? Am I thinking of the right person?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Quentin Crisp...- 10 seconds.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Get the next one.- Next, please.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Two sisters, crazy hair? Any ideas?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06No, your time is up.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Possible bonus for the Crossworders.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Erm... Blue?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Talk me through that.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Marge Simpson has hair of that colour, the others may be connected
0:09:18 > 0:09:21with the colour blue in increasingly less obscure ways.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Quentin Crisp dyed his hair as well.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Quentin Crisp dyed his hair - maybe that's the answer.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27And Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
0:09:27 > 0:09:29is a big fan of QPR, the Hoops.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33It's not blue! Now, you don't know this one.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm not surprised. They all presented
0:09:35 > 0:09:38the Alternative Christmas Message
0:09:38 > 0:09:39on Channel 4.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Quentin Crisp in 1993, the President of Iran, Ahmadinejad, in 2008.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47The Lawrences in 1998 and in 2004, it was Marge Simpson.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Of the many things Marge Simpson and Quentin Crisp have in common,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53in this case it was the Alternative Christmas message.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56There's one question remaining - the two reeds.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'm guessing this will be the picture question
0:09:59 > 0:10:00as we haven't had it yet.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Here's the first clue.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Don't know who that is. - It isn't Dakota Fanning?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Next.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Slobodan Milosevic.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14THEY CONFER
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Next.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- Liberia?- Liberia... - Yeah, it is Liberia.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Liberia... Shall we go next?- Yes.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Next.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Lieutenant Uhura, of course. From Star Trek.- Uhura means something.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Liberia means free.- Free? - Five seconds.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Freed?- Yeah, freedom. - BELL
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Freedom.- Very good.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Their names all mean freedom.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45That is Saoirse Ronan, the actress.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Saoirse means freedom in Gaelic. Slobodan means that in Slavic.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Uhura in Swahili and Liberia, land or place of freedom.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Their names all mean "freedom". Well done to you.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58At the end of round one, then,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01the Masterinders have three points,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04but the Crossworders are ahead at this point, with five.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Round two is the sequences round.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09This time, I want the teams
0:11:09 > 0:11:12to tell me what the fourth clue would be if I showed it to them.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Masterminders, you'll be going first again. Please pick a question.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Horned viper, please.- OK, the first in a sequence is coming up.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22What do you think the fourth would be? Time starts now.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30It is a question mark exclamation mark.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Next, please.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Ah. Er... I think we need another.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Next, please.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Could the fourth one be a question mark?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51What could the possible connection be?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Try question mark. I can't see it. - Yeah.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Doesn't make any sense to me.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57BELL
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- A single question mark. - I'm afraid not.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Possible bonus, Crossworders.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I think it's two exclamation marks,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09and I think it's the quality of chess moves in commentary, moving up,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11and two exclamation marks means brilliancy.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14You are absolutely right, two exclamation marks to you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It's to do with commentary on chess moves.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Question mark, exclamation mark - dubious, probably a mistake.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22The one after that - interesting, could be good.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Exclamation mark for a good move, and double exclamation mark,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28as David says, for a really good move.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Well done, Crossworders. Your turn.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Eye of Horus, please.- All right, first in a sequence coming up now.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38That rings a strong bell, that.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- That's in Tunisia, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Shall we go next? Next.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Holy places in Islam? - Yeah, are they? Oh, yeah, yes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50So what is the...?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Is Medina second? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56BELL Mecca.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Oh, you guys are all warmed up -
0:12:58 > 0:13:01you even know what second would have been.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03They are the four holiest cities in Islam.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Medina would have been next, and the holiest, of course, Mecca.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Three points to you, in after two clues.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Come on, Masterminders,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- I know you can do it. Which question would you like?- Two reeds, please.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17OK, first in the sequence coming up now.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Excellent(!)
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Is it something to do with pi?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Oh... That wouldn't be a sequence, would it?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Next, please.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Could they be a measurement of something?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Yeah, from inches to centimetres or...?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I don't know what the sequence would be. Next, please.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Now, that is pi. So, is it close approximations?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- Do you just do it in decimal? - Try it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53BELL
0:13:55 > 0:13:573.14159...blah, blah, blah?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I could let you keep talking for several days,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02but I'm afraid it's not the answer.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03So, a possible bonus to the Crossworders.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- The least accurate would be 3/1. - Oh, are they getting less accurate?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08- Yes, they are.- What is this, a chat?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It's not a coffee morning!
0:14:10 > 0:14:12OK, 3, 3/1.
0:14:12 > 0:14:153/1, or 3. You were right, Masterminders,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18they are rational approximations of pi -
0:14:18 > 0:14:20getting less accurate, not more.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So, next along in the sequence would be 3.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Close, but not quite close enough, I'm afraid.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28- Crossworders?- Water, please.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31All right. First in the sequence coming up now.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Next?- Yeah.- Next.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- OK, it's UN Secretary-Generals. - Oh, yeah, course.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40So, which year was...?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Who is it now?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Kofi Annan, then...- 2007?
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Ban Ki-moon...
0:14:49 > 0:14:52It must be to do with lengths of term, mustn't it?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It's just what year he took over, isn't it?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Yeah, so we need to add ten.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- I think it's just when they started, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Kofi Annan only had one term. - So, what...?- No, he had two terms.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- What year did Ban Ki-moon...? - Five seconds.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Yeah, OK. BELL
0:15:09 > 0:15:102007, South Korea.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13You're right again.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16They are the successions of the UN Secretary-Generals.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Can you tell me who the people were that took the role in those years
0:15:19 > 0:15:20and came from those countries?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Ban Ki-moon, South Korea.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Ghana was Kofi Annan. Egypt was Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And Peru, I think, was Javier Perez de Cuellar.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Perez de Cuellar, that's absolutely right, for the points.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Very well done. OK, Masterminders,
0:15:34 > 0:15:35I have a strong sense
0:15:35 > 0:15:39you're going to score highly on this next question. Which would you like?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Which will we score more highly on?! Lion, please.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45All right. What is the fourth in this sequence? Time starts now.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Lord Home, so that would be Wilson, Heath... Oh, God.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Oh, are these...? - Callaghan... It would be...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Grantham.- Grantham? Are you confident about that?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Do you want another one?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- You know?- Yeah, I'd say Grantham. - BELL
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Grantham, I'm told.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I love your bravery, coming in after one clue,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17but unfortunately in this case,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19it might have helped you to see more. I must show
0:16:19 > 0:16:22the next two clues to the Crossworders.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26And can you tell me quickly what you think would come fourth?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Cardiff, so it's after Callaghan. Grantham and Kesteven, is it?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- No, her actual constituency... - Not a chat. Do you have an answer?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- What is it? - Grantham and Kesteven. Kes-te-ven.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Do you know, I'm not going to take it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Because if you look at the other three,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41there's no "and",
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I'm not seeing two places - that is not precise enough.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46The answer is Kesteven.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Really? My gosh. - Because what they are is
0:16:49 > 0:16:51the names that were adopted
0:16:51 > 0:16:52by former Prime Ministers
0:16:52 > 0:16:56when they took peerages, and sequentially, that's Hirsel,
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Wilson, Rievaulx, James Callaghan, Cardiff,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04and Margaret Thatcher became Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09So, the names not original names, but that they took on.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10No points there, but Crossworders,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12the twisted flax remains.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I can tell you the clues will come in the form of pictures.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Here's the first one.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- That's some sort of daisy or aster, maybe?- Next.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- That's Hilary Swank. - OK, past Hilary, Trinity...- Ah, yes.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Oh, yeah, what is it, terms? - There are only three, aren't there?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Michaelmas, Hilary... Are they legal quarters?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39They're quarters - so what's the fourth quarter?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Shall we go next?- Yeah.- Next.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- Easter.- Easter, Michaelmas... - Easter, so what's after Easter?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Trinity comes after the Easter break, doesn't it?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53So, a picture of the Trinity.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55BELL Trinity?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58What do you expect in the picture?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Something representing the Trinity.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03The Holy Trinity. We chose Trinity College, Cambridge.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05What's the reason?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Oxbridge... Oxford terms are Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11with Easter in between. Is it something more like legal...?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I mean, I should know this for definite, shouldn't I?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I think you should.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Terms in the law year, traditional sittings.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Michaelmas, Hilary, Easter and then Trinity.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You told me the fourth in the sequence, so you do get the points.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26That means at the end of Round Two,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28the Masterminders have got three points,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30but the Crossworders are ahead with 15.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Time for the Connecting Wall. If your fingers are itchy
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and you need to be doing something else at the same time,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I wish I was 12, but the wall is going live online
0:18:42 > 0:18:45as the teams play it, so you can play along if you want.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Crossworders, it's you who are under real pressure,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50cos you're going to be playing it as part of the show.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54What I want to know is, would you like lion or water?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- Lion, please.- OK, you've got two and a half minutes, starting now.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03OK, so types of flag.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08No? My word.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Old Trafford, old something else?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I don't know what a Scardino is.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Kirklees... Kirklees and Trafford go together, don't they?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Metropolitan...- Boroughs. Wirral, Barnsley?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Ooh, hello! Right.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25That doesn't make the flags easier, does it?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27What are the possible flags?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- Rosette is one of them. So, swallowtail...- Let's try.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Missing out pennant.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Missing out rosette.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39No, you can have square as well. And you can even have a diamond flag.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- OK.- Part of the terms in heraldry?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Like, star...- We've got female chief executives of...
0:19:45 > 0:19:47No, chief executives of companies.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Scardino.- There's King.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Right. OK, what are the ones...? - We've got star, square...
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Actually, all of those could actually be flags, couldn't they?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Yeah. Gosh.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Square and diamond, are they sporting arenas?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Er, well, yeah.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Swallowtail, as well, is that a bird? - It's a butterfly.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Are there any butterflies there?- No.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- What's a burgee? - A burgee's definitely some sort...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- A flag you put on a boat.- Is it?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Yeah.- I can't remember what we pressed before, either.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I think we pressed... Oh, dear. Star, square...
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Shapes...- It could be star, square, diamond... Is rosette a shape?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- You've got a minute left. - Maybe Michelin grades...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Yeah, it could be.- AA...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Yeah, it could be Michelin-starred, AA Rosette,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42something pennant, and maybe a diamond?
0:20:42 > 0:20:43And a square?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48You've solved the wall, so that's four points.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Bonuses available for the connections. Wirral, Trafford,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Barnsley, Kirklees.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I think they're metropolitan boroughs in the north of England.- Yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59They're metropolitan boroughs, that's good enough. Next one.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Bolland, Dudley, King, Scardino.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06They are chief executives of British companies.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08They're chief executives
0:21:08 > 0:21:10of companies in the FTSE 100, that's right.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Next one. Star, pennant, diamond, rosette.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16We think they might be things used to grade restaurants.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21- An AA rosette, a Michelin star.- Which?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- AA, probably.- Yeah, why not? AA.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27You jumped correctly.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30They are AA awards for guesthouses, hotels and so on.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33And the last one. Burgee, swallowtail, square, oriflamme.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Types of flag. - They are shapes of flag.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39So, Crossworders, you get four points for the groups you found,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41four points for the connections you told me.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45You get two points for getting all of it. That is the maximum of ten points.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So, it's time to bring back the Masterminders
0:21:47 > 0:21:49and see what they can do with the Connecting Wall.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52They've never played this before, of course.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Let's hope they aren't too flummoxed by it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57With that welcome ringing in your ears,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Masterminders, I can tell you that the water wall remains for you.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You've got two and a half minutes to solve it. Starting now.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Right. Felix is a cat.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15We've got Williamson, Maxwell Davies, Elgar and Bliss.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Masters of the Queen's Music?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Bliss, Williamson, Bax and Maxwell Davies.- Right, OK.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Echo...
0:22:26 > 0:22:28We've got girls' mags here. Jackie, 19...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Elgar's a cat, as well, isn't it? - Is he?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Have we got any other girls' mags?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Mizz? What about Jaz, Sugar...? - Yeah, Sugar is.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Let's try them.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40OK. Let's think about this, cos we want to get both of them.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- I'm sure Elgar is a cat.- OK.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Felix obviously is.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Yeah, Felix. And then could it be...?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I think that's too obvious. What are these other ones?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Jaz, Kill...- Are these scans?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Jaz and Kill look like they would be
0:22:57 > 0:22:58high scores on Scrabble.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Remember, three strikes and you're out.- Yeah. Echo...
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Probably Jaz is the cat, I would have thought.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07But then what do we end up with? Kill, Cat...
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Would they all be followed by something?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Kill...
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Ping? Ping is the noise a submarine makes.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Yes, you've got echo, which is sonar radar.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Yeah.- Scanning, CAT scans, you would have. I don't know about kill scan.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Kill the cat?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34No. It's got an onomatopoeic ring, but otherwise...
0:23:34 > 0:23:37What on earth could Jaz be? Have you heard of Jaz?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh, no, we think that's a cat, yeah.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Oh, do we know?- No, just a guess.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Kill, ping...
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Ping is somewhat onomatopoeic. I suppose none of the other ones are.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Cat, no. Echo...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Got about 40 seconds.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- We don't actually know for sure which is the cat. Shall we try one?- Yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I don't know what the other one is.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- BUZZ Not.- Two attempts now.- OK.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06And 30 seconds.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Shall we try Ping as a cat?- Yeah.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- We're not sure about Jaz, are we? - And then just see.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Are you sure about Whoami being a cat?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Who am I, who am I?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Ah.- What on earth is that?
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Try Felix... - Shall we try Cat?- Yeah, try Cat.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Whoami, Elgar.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'm afraid not. The time is up.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Two points for the groups you found, and more available for the connections.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Bax, Williamson, Bliss, Maxwell Davies.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Master of the King's or Queen's Music.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41They have held the post Master of the Queen's Music.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Mizz, Jackie, Sugar, 19.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Girls' magazines. - They are teenage girls' magazines.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49A bit worrying we know that!
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I read Seventeen, which I don't think you have over here!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I read only Tolstoy!
0:24:54 > 0:24:57You can get points for the groups you didn't find - let's resolve the wall.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Felix, Jaz, Ping, Elgar.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- They are all cats.- Cats.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10They are all characters in the Radio 4 sitcom Ed Reardon's Week.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Yeah. That's probably why we didn't get it.- Yeah.- And the last group.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20Kill, Whoami, however you want to pronounce that, Cat and Echo.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Something to do with scans of some sort?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27That's not what it is. They are UNIX commands.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30They are commands you can type into a computer running the UNIX system.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34But pretty good, you found two groups and you got the connections,
0:25:34 > 0:25:35so that is four points to you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Let's see what that does to the scores going into Round Four.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The Masterminders have got seven points,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44but the Crossworders are slightly ahead with 25.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50How are you finding the experience so far, Masterminders?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It is fun, but somewhat humbling.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- They're getting all the ones we know!- We didn't get to revise!
0:25:56 > 0:25:57But it could yet change
0:25:57 > 0:26:01if you have a brilliant Round Four. We take the names,
0:26:01 > 0:26:05phrases and sayings, well-known or not so well-known, take out the vowels
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and squidge up the consonants.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Teams, what are those disguised clues?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Fingers on buzzers.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16The first group are all types of glass.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19MASTERMIND THEME PLAYS
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Don't know this one? It's soda lime. Next clue.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Crossworders?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29- Obsidian.- Correct.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39No? This one's mousseline. Next clue.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42- Crossworders?- Quartz.- Correct.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Next category, occasions when the National Anthem is played.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Crossworders? - Remembrance Day.- Correct.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Masterminders?- England football matches.- Correct.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Closedown, Radio Four. - I'm afraid not, you lose a point.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Masterminders?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Closedown on Radio Four? - That's right. There's an extra N.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Closedown ON Radio Four. Next clue.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Masterminders?- Royal Variety Performance.- Correct.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Next category, famous signoffs.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Crossworders?- Goodnight children, everywhere.- From Uncle Mac, correct.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- Masterminders?- May your God go with you.- That's Dave Allen, correct.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Crossworders?- Don't have nightmares, do sleep well.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46From Crimewatch, correct.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Masterminders?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50That's goodnight from me and goodnight from him.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52That's not right, lose a point. Crossworders?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Goodnight... BELL
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Too late, I'm afraid, because the bell has gone.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00The answer is, and it's goodnight from him, goodnight.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Right at the end of The Two Ronnies.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08That is the end of the quiz, and in a very challenging special,
