0:00:15 > 0:00:19Welcome back to the Only Connect Wall Night special,
0:00:19 > 0:00:23perfect for people who like to spend hours staring at a wall - prisoners.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25It's Connecting Walls only.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30Earlier, 18 were whittled down into four. The remaining teams are...
0:00:33 > 0:00:37They'll get 2½ minutes to solve each wall this time,
0:00:37 > 0:00:43but if two teams get the same score, the time it took to find the first group is taken into consideration.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Also, you can still play along live at home
0:00:46 > 0:00:48at the same time as the teams.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Before we do all that, let's hear from some favourite alumni,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56guests from our previous Only Connect charity specials.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58What's great about the Connecting Walls
0:00:58 > 0:01:02is they involve lateral knowledge, cultural knowledge.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04It's not just memorising the date
0:01:04 > 0:01:07or knowing who the bass player was in Blodwyn Pig.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10What we're trying to get to is a set of 16 words,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14all completely varied, some are names, some are places,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16some may be even symbols or numbers,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20and when the contestants first look at this board,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24they think, "What on earth can possibly connect all these things?"
0:01:24 > 0:01:28I think what I find most challenging is that moment when you look at them
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and for sometimes quite a considerable period
0:01:31 > 0:01:35you can see no pattern whatsoever to what's in front of you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Then I try to link them arbitrarily,
0:01:38 > 0:01:44rather like trying to do an anagram by jumbling letters around and seeing if a pattern emerges.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48But there is that moment of terror, followed by despair,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52when you think that all your cognitive capacity has failed
0:01:52 > 0:01:57and perhaps some cerebral event is happening. That's the worst moment.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Now we have the option where you can play along with the team by playing along live.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08You can feel like you're the fourth member of the team and help them solve the grid if they're stuck.
0:02:08 > 0:02:14The first time it comes up, I pause it and see what I think and make my guess at what I think they'll be,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18not like, "I think there's a category there that's Famous Donalds,"
0:02:18 > 0:02:23or, "Look, Great British Poisoners," or whatever, then I let it go itself.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27But I always give myself about 20 seconds start,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31then sit back with the comfort of going, "No, you fools, it's not that, ha-ha,"
0:02:31 > 0:02:35cackling like a Bond villain and twirling my moustache.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39With the words of those charity quizzers ringing in their ears,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43we bring back the Knitters and the Editors for the first semi-final.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Editors, are you enjoying being back with Only Connect?- It's fun.
0:02:47 > 0:02:54It's good to see the old faces and recognising people off the telly and realising, "I do recognise them."
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Thank you very much! You have a choice, of course.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03- Lion or Water?- Lion, please. - The Lion Wall will be the first of the semi-final.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- You get 2½ minutes now.- OK.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08And they're going to start now.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12That's a financial term, isn't it?
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- Yes.- Banana? Banana bread, banana republic?- Banana split.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Banana split.- Banana...- Skin.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21No, it must be another one.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Banana bread? We had that. - We tried that.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Banana kick?- Banana kick, yes. - Try banana kick.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Split.- Republic. - Republic and bread possibly.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Kick, split, republic and skin.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Republic, split, skin, bread.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Perhaps we should try a different...
0:03:42 > 0:03:44OK, we'll try one more.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Kick, republic, bread.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Yeah, OK. So what have we got? Haircut... A financial term?
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- These are musicals.- Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Ashley...
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Boublil, I don't know. Short?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Glazer?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I think Glazer.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Try that one, try that one.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12No, but that's...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- No.- No.- Move on?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Split, so it's not "banana".
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Short.- Split.- Haircut...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Short - is that financial? - I don't know.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28They're names in finance anyway, maybe this will work. Rally...
0:04:28 > 0:04:29No.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Split, is it betting?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Betting, ah, spread bet, split bet! Very good.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Um...- Short odds? No, I don't know.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41You've got a minute left.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42No.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45What else do we know?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Glazer...- That's the manager of...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52That's the people who own Manchester United.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- How about managers of football teams? - OK. Try it. Kander and...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- No.- No.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I want to say Rodgers for the Lerner and Loewe thing.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- OK, yeah, Rodgers, Lerner... - Who else would it be then?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You've got 30 seconds.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Do these go in front of any words? Something rally?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Short change, peace...
0:05:18 > 0:05:20We had that with "banana".
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Um...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Let's go back to the musicians.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Musicians, OK.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31You've got ten seconds.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Five seconds.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43That's it. Your time is up. You got one group.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Can you tell me the connection - Kick, Skin, Bread, Republic?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Banana.- You can put "banana" in front of all of them.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Let's resolve the wall.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Lerner, Kander, Boublil, Rodgers?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02They're musicals, the composers of musicals that come in pairs
0:06:02 > 0:06:05like Lerner and Loewe, Rodgers and Hammerstein?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yes, the first half of song-writing duos -
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Lerner and Loewe, Kander and Ebb,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Boublil and Schonberg and Rodgers and Hammerstein or Hart.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Absolutely right - half of song-writing duos.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Next - Short, Peace, Glazer, Ashley.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- It's owners of football clubs.- They are owners of Premier League teams.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Do you know which teams? - Glazer's Man U. Peace is...
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- We don't know.- We don't know. - Ellis Short owns Sunderland FC,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Mike Ashley - Newcastle United, Jeremy Peace - West Bromwich Albion.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40I've barely heard of the teams, never mind the owners.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And the last group - Haircut, Rally, Split and Spread.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Financial terms in the markets.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48They're stock market terms.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You got one group, but all four connecting points.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57That is a total of five. Let's bring back the Knitters to see what they can do with the Connecting Wall.
0:06:57 > 0:07:03- Is it just like old times, Knitters, or is it harder than it used to be? - It's like we've never been away.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09- Where did that hair go? - The Water Wall is awaiting you. You have 2½ minutes to solve it now.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12And that time starts now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Land Of Hope And Glory, Land Of My Fathers.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Rising Sun.- Land Of Plenty.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21OK.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Do we find five Land Ofs?- Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Are these newspapers - The White Eagle, Pravda, The Rising Sun?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Another newspaper?- Try Skylight.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- No.- We should try the...- Land Ofs. - Were there more than four?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yeah. Land Of Hope And Glory, Land Of My Fathers.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Land Of The Rising Sun.- White Eagle? - Land Of Plenty.- Got it.- Well done.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Oriel, is that a...?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Opticians. Oculus, chinrest.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Um...- Picture?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- What's an F-hole?- F-hole is cameras.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00No, OK.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- That could be cameras.- Skylight...
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- What was...?- Pegbox, picture, oculus and F-hole are parts of a camera.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Is the skylight part of a camera? What about bridge?- Try it. Go, go.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18What the heck's Licking Hitler? I don't really want to ask!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Who knows?- A film, play, book?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Oriel, plenty...- Um...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Bridges?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Oriel bridge, bow bridge...
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Ties?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Is it bow tie or...? - Truth? Do things mean "truth"?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Pravda is a play and Plenty is a play.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Licking Hitler must be a play.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42And, and, and, and...
0:08:44 > 0:08:46You've got a minute left.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- Stick with those three. - It's David Hare plays.- Skylight? Yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Parts of your face - the bow of your lips, the bridge of your nose.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Your oculus is your eye. - Chinrest? What's an oriel?- Try.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- OK.- Two more guesses.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Did you say bits in a camera? - Camera, yeah.- And they were...?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Oculus, F-hole. - Or parts of an eye maybe.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Pegbox?- Is that in a camera?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- You've got 30 seconds.- Um...
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Well, chinrest is at the optician's, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25The pegbox...
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Bow bridge...- Pegbox.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You've got time.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34That's it. The wall has frozen. You've had your three lives.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37So you got two groups. Now I need the connections.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41My Fathers, The White Eagle, The Rising Sun, Hope And Glory.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Land Of...- That's exactly right.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Next group - Licking Hitler, Plenty, Pravda and Skylight.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- They're plays by David Hare. - They are plays by Sir David Hare.
0:09:52 > 0:09:59You can also get points for the connections in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03It should look like that - Bridge, Pegbox, Chinrest, F-hole.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It's things in a violin, bits in a violin.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- They're parts of a violin. You suddenly see it sometimes.- Yeah.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14And the last one - Bow, Oculus, Picture, Oriel.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Do you think they're things to do with the eye
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- or the optician's?- I don't know.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Parts of a camera?- I need an answer. - Parts of a camera.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28You were closer with things to do with an eye. It looks out of them.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30They're windows, types of window.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33But you did find two groups
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and got three bonus points, so that is a total of five.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Let's have a look at the scores.
0:10:44 > 0:10:51It's a tie-break situation, guys. It is going to come down to which team got the first group fastest.
0:10:51 > 0:10:58I can now reveal that to get the first group, the Editors took 38.9 seconds.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01The Knitters took 27 seconds.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07So, Editors, you have been just pipped and we're losing you here.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Knitters, you're through to the final later.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16We've got another semi-final first, but let's have a few more words from our starry alumni.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19To play it in the studio is terrifying,
0:11:19 > 0:11:24partly because you're overwhelmed by everybody else who's there.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You look up and it's the Poet Laureate
0:11:26 > 0:11:31and Stuart Maconie will be the Poet Laureate one day, so it's rather daunting.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Then there's that awful panic moment
0:11:33 > 0:11:39when you realise you'll have to deliver the goods and you're not sure you have any goods to deliver.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I don't think we did particularly well.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45By the time we got to that round, we had a bit of a lead
0:11:45 > 0:11:49and I thought if the other team has nailed the wall,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53then we'll be neck and neck or we shouldn't be too far behind,
0:11:53 > 0:11:58not that we were being very competitive about it. It was all in a good cause.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I think I was the only Only Connect nut amongst them,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04so I was going, "No, leave this to..."
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Not, "Leave this to me,"
0:12:06 > 0:12:10but Andrew's soft-spoken and went, "What's happening with this wall?"
0:12:10 > 0:12:15I said, "Leave this to me, poet. Leave this to me, Andy. I can do this.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20"Mumba - Samantha." I felt like I had the advantage over them in that.
0:12:20 > 0:12:26I have nightmares about preaching to the Queen and I get up to the pulpit and I've forgotten my sermon,
0:12:26 > 0:12:32but I could have an anxiety nightmare easily about being confronted by a wall on television
0:12:32 > 0:12:34and having no idea what it means.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38So some people find it terrifying to play the Connecting Walls.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I'll have to see what I can do to make it worse!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45It's going to be Technologists versus Hitchhikers now.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Technologists, you go first. Do you find it scary to play the wall?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Yeah.- We're terrified.- Good, good.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54You have a choice - Lion or Water?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Lion.- Lion. That seems the scarier one.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01You've got 2½ minutes starting now.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Sponge, pie, sigh, duff.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Up the duff, up the junction.- Good.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Up the creek. - One more to go with those.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Flannel, flummery, soft soap and... - Up the ante.- Puff.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Up the ante, up the duff,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- up the junction...- And up the creek.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24There you go.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Very good.- There's aisle as well.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32- Yeah. Up the ante, duff, junction and the fifth one is...- Creek.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- So leave out creek. - Leave out creek, leave out ante.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37And leave out junction.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41And leave out duff. Excellent.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Three strikes and you're out now.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Peach cobbler, peach pie, peach duff? - Charlotte sounds like a pudding.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Cobbler is a pudding, sponge is a pudding, pie is a pudding.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- What do we think of the last one? - So is duff.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- We had this problem last time. - What are the other things?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00The Tao of Pooh, the...
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Beater...
0:14:01 > 0:14:04World beater, egg beater?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- What does Tao mean to you?- Taoism.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08"Isms"?
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Custard perhaps? Custard pie... No, it's not going to work.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Duff...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17People? Do you see people's names?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Beater's out there, beater and sigh.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- What goes with beater and sigh? - Why are they together?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- They're not puddings.- OK.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Shall we spend one?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Is this called peach duff?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34You've got a minute left.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39You've solved the wall!
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Fantastic stuff. Four points. Bonus points for the connections.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47The first one - flannel, flummery, puff, soft soap.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I don't know how to describe it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- You'll need to find one.- It's ways of promoting.- Talking rubbish.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Spoofing...- Sort of inflating their sense of worth.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02For heaven's sake, I'll accept it. Flattery I would have taken.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- We don't know the word flattery! - Next one.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Ante, creek, junction, aisle.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Up the.- Yes, it can go in front of all of them.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Cobbler, Charlotte, sponge, duff.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- These are all puddings.- Absolutely.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Last group?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23These are all homonyms for something else.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28That's not quite good enough. Your problem may be an accent one.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32If I say them for you - beater, tao, pie, sigh.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Greek letter!- They sound like Greek letters. You needed English voices.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39But you found all four groups
0:15:39 > 0:15:45and three bonus points. That's a total of seven. We're going to bring back the Hitchhikers now.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- How are you enjoying your return visit?- You don't get used to this.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53We know it was our weak point, but we're ready. Bring on the wall.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58The Technologists chose the Lion wall, the scarier option,
0:15:58 > 0:16:04so you get Water. Two and a half minutes to solve it starting now.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37- A desire? Collective nouns, I think. - You might get a greed.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39No.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- Um, disco... - Are there any other films?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Are there any other...?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I'm just pushing.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Try the films again. - The Fly, Crash...
0:17:24 > 0:17:29- I'm not sure what the other ones are.- A minute left.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- So you have hazard lights. Any other kind of lights?- Hazard lights...

0:18:34 > 0:18:40- All associated with green? - Yes, many Islamic countries have green in the flag.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45There are more connection points, so let's resolve the wall.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Discotheque, The Fly, Desire, Vertigo.- Cronenberg films.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53It sounds like they could be.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57They are number one singles... from U2.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04- Not a fan?- No. - Not enough of a fan.- Third group.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45and got two connecting points. So three. Let's look at the scores.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56So Hitchhikers, we're saying goodbye to you again.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Technologists, very well done. You're through to the final.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05If you're feeling inspired, you can continue to play on the website.
0:20:05 > 0:20:11Plenty of connecting walls are waiting there for you like muggers in an alley.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17If you started biting your nails at the beginning, prepare to reach your elbow - it's final time.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23The Knitters are taking on the Technologists for the title of Wall Night champion.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28In a shock twist, both finalists will be playing the same wall.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33Total mano a mano, Knitters. And you're going first.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38I'm not offering you a choice. There's only one wall.

0:21:09 > 0:21:10- PSX.- PSX.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13What's NME if it's not...?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19SMS would be text messaging, I presume.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Sega Mega System?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- Oh, nice work. What was the other one?- NES, Nintendo. Oh!

0:22:15 > 0:22:20- What connection?- It's got to be NES and PSP. It's the PlayStation.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24What's SAN? Any ideas for it?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- Oh, I don't know! - Just try something at random.- OK.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Go with those two. Did we do that last time?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Two more go's.- Any other ideas?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- That's text messaging.- Yeah.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Shall we try that again with another one?- OK.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05You're under 10 seconds now. And the wall has frozen.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10OK, you found two groups. What links them? How about the blue group?
0:23:10 > 0:23:16- They're all magazines. - I-D, GQ, SFX and FHM - all monthly magazines.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18The green group?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- That's words phonetically... - If you pronounce the letters.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28They call them gramograms. Letters that sound like words.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Escapee, enemy, essay, excellency.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Very good. Bonus points available.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Let's resolve the wall.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55- What about the last group?- Airports?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Transport hubs?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I'm going to accept it. Airports.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04They're Californian international airports.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09PSP is Palm Springs, SFO I believe is San Francisco,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13SAN is San Diego and LAX for Los Angeles.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18You found two groups and got three bonus points for a total of five.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24We'll bring back the Technologists now and give them the exact same wall. How will their scores compare?
0:24:24 > 0:24:31We have never had such an exact comparison. How do you feel about that, Technologists?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- We're feeling lucky. Right? - We feel lucky.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40Let's see how lucky. Two and a half minutes to solve this wall, starting now.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Wow.- Ah.- Airports.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46SFO... No.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Um...- LAX is an airport.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15SFO is an airport.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Um, SAN? SAN sounds right.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- SMS is a messaging term. - Yeah.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28SAN means nothing. Is that a computer language?
0:25:28 > 0:25:35It sounds like a computer thing. Should we go like...three computer things and XLNC as the last one?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- No, the NES and PSP are computer... - So we need five, right?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42They're like gaming consoles.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45So leave out VCS, leave out PSX.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57So we're missing a computer game of some sort. Maybe.

0:26:23 > 0:26:29- Can you guys try to figure it out and I'll just put everything...? - No, you can't do it.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- Excellency. - Three strikes and you're out now.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- We've...- What are we after, Bruce? - We're after the computer games.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43- We're just missing one. SFO? - 30 seconds.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Shall we go with the airports? - Yeah, something different.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- PSX looks like an airport. - It looks like one.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- VCS?- VCS.- Just one life now.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57What about mobile phone terms?

0:27:08 > 0:27:12- NES?- Yeah, go for it.- That's it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17The wall's frozen. But you found two groups and there are bonus points.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- What about the blue group? - They're magazines.- That's right.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28- Next one down?- They make words if you say them out loud. - That's right. They sound like words.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33More bonus points available. Let's resolve the wall.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35PSX, VCS, NES, SMS.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40- Computer games consoles.- Home gaming consoles. Do you know any of them?

0:28:09 > 0:28:14you got four points for connections. That is a total of six points.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Let's see who the winner is.
0:28:24 > 0:28:31Very well played, Knitters, but, Technologists, you are the Only Connect Wall Night champions.
