Transcript

00:00Hello again.

00:23Queen Victoria once said we will not have failure,

00:27only success and new learning.

00:31What a wonderful Only Connect player she would have been.

00:34She could have been captain of the Queen's team

00:36with maybe Queen Latifah for the music questions

00:39and Brian May to cover space and badges.

00:42Welcome to a brand new series of Britain's Hardest Quiz.

00:46Joining me to kick it off are, on my right,

00:51Ruth Erdle, an innovation manager who enjoys jigsaws,

00:55Jess Volpe, a PR account director who can play seven instruments,

01:00and their captain, Steve Erdle, co-founder of a tech start-up

01:04who likes to go fairy hunting in the Scottish Highlands.

01:07They've all travelled from Tyne and Weir.

01:09They are the Whitley Bays.

01:11Steve, welcome. Thank you.

01:13What brings you here?

01:14Why have you decided to have a go at Only Connect?

01:16We've always been massive fans of the show

01:18and every time we've watched I've been kind of looking eagerly

01:22at Ruth trying to get her to come on with me

01:25and we found our friend Jess who's also a massive fan

01:27so we decided to give it a go.

01:29And have you played quizzes together before?

01:31Or you thought, let's give it a first go on television with people watching?

01:35Jess was saying earlier, we are much more sober

01:37than we usually are at this stage in a quiz.

01:39Well, the good news is for you, nobody really watches the first episode.

01:42They don't realise we're on for a few weeks

01:44so we can sneak this one out in secret and catch up later.

01:47Thank you so much for coming, good luck.

01:50You are facing, on my left,

01:52Dan Lee, a family therapist who enjoys cooking.

01:56Ellen Stevens, a play therapist who broke her elbow falling off a tractor tyre.

02:01And their captain, Josh Katz, an accounts manager

02:05who has walked 850 kilometres across Spain.

02:08United by a love of Leos Carax, they are the Caraxians.

02:13Leos Carax is of course, I mean I definitely know, but for the viewers?

02:20He's a French film director.

02:22He directed a movie called Holy Motors and Lovers on the Bridge.

02:26They're very romantic French style kind of things.

02:29Are they in French?

02:30They are in French, yeah.

02:32See, I never watch films with subtitles

02:34because if you look down at your plate you miss key plot points.

02:38Thank you all very much for joining us, good luck to you.

02:41You won the toss but you've decided to put your opponents in first.

02:45So, Whitley Bayes, please choose the first hieroglyph of the series.

02:49Uh, Twisted Flax, please.

02:51The Twisted Flax.

02:52What is the connection between these apparently random picture clues?

02:57Here's the first.

03:00Uh, next, please.

03:02They're all rockets.

03:04What's rocket?

03:05Rocket.

03:06Do you want to go for it?

03:07I think go for it, yeah.

03:08Go for it.

03:11Rockets.

03:12What took you so long to come and play the quiz?

03:15That is completely correct.

03:17What do you think you would have seen in the next pictures?

03:20Some salad leaves.

03:21Salad leaves would have been clue four and clue three.

03:23A rocket?

03:24You would have seen Stevenson's rocket, designed by George and Robert Stevenson, winner of the locomotive trials in 1829.

03:32And who is that in the first picture?

03:34That is rocket Ronnie O'Sullivan.

03:35Exactly so.

03:36Very well done, you're off the blocks with three points.

03:39Caraxians, what would you like?

03:41We have the lion, please.

03:42Lion.

03:43Your first clue is coming up now.

03:46New, um, things in Denmark or...

03:49Yeah.

03:50Not sure.

03:51Next, please.

03:52Uh, well, those are, like, the little, um, like...

03:55Any ideas?

03:57No.

03:58Uh, next, next, please.

04:00Okay, so, I think that's, like, memorial and, like, wars and, um...

04:05Yeah.

04:06Something along those.

04:07That's when, I think, World War II.

04:09Okay, next, please, next, please.

04:10Okay, so, yeah, that's, um...

04:12Memorial Day.

04:13Yeah, yeah, so, uh, yeah, something like that.

04:15Yeah.

04:16Um, so, this is how you celebrate Memorial Day in these countries.

04:21But what do you mean exactly?

04:23So, this is how you commemorate a war victory.

04:28That is not the answer, I'm afraid.

04:30So, a bonus chance for you, Whitley Bays.

04:32These are things you do on the... in November in these places.

04:36I need a very specific answer for a bonus point.

04:39The 11th of the 11th.

04:40The 11th.

04:41The 11th.

04:42They are things you do on the 11th of November.

04:44I gave you another go, because they are things you do on our Memorial Day,

04:48on Remembrance Day, but they are not all in commemoration of a war.

04:52Polish Independence Day, that is from the end of World War I,

04:55and that's the 11th of November.

04:57That first one, it's in Catholic areas of Northern Europe,

05:00they have these parties.

05:01That second clue, it's a thing people do in South Korea,

05:05it's known as Pepero Day.

05:07Yeah, Pepero, yeah.

05:08You know, it's a brand of sort of...

05:09Yeah, yeah, like the little sticks.

05:10...like a biscuit thing dipped in chocolate,

05:12and you have to see how many you can eat

05:14between 11, 11, 11 in the morning and 12 hours later.

05:19Yeah.

05:20And the idea is that children are trying to grow tall and thin,

05:22like the Pepero stick.

05:23Oh.

05:24Although, whether you can achieve that

05:25by eating a lot of biscuits dipped in chocolate,

05:26I mean, it hasn't worked for me, is all I would say.

05:29Well done, you get the bonus point.

05:31What would you like for your own question?

05:33The Eye of Horus, please.

05:34The Eye of Horus.

05:36Oh.

05:37Oh, okay.

05:38It's the music question.

05:39You'll be hearing your clues.

05:40Here's the first.

05:50Next, please.

05:51I'm with you once more

05:54Under the snow

05:57This is when they begin the perfume

05:59And down by the shore

06:02Next, please.

06:04The Eye of someone in this world

06:07Feels as desperate as me

06:09And what you give is what you get

06:11Next, please.

06:15Next, please.

06:20Two seconds.

06:23Um, these all have...

06:25Clichés?

06:26...dances in them.

06:27Not the answer, I'm afraid.

06:29Caraxians, do you know?

06:30Commands to start or go.

06:32They are all to do with beginning and starting.

06:36I know you recognise Begin the Beguine.

06:38Lovely Ella Fitzgerald singing.

06:39What else did we hear?

06:40We heard the XX, I think, as the number one.

06:43Intro is that track.

06:45That was the first one, yeah.

06:46And start by The Jam was number three.

06:49Yeah.

06:50Um, not sure what number four was.

06:51And then that was like some song.

06:53I don't know.

06:55Tchaikovsky.

06:56There's the 1812 Overture.

06:57And Overture is in the sense of beginning.

07:00You get that bonus point and your own choice.

07:02What would you like?

07:03Uh, can we go with water, please?

07:05Yes, you can.

07:06What connects these apparently round of clues?

07:07Here's the first.

07:08Time starts now.

07:09OK, so Jimmy Carter, History's Greatest Monster, etc, etc.

07:13Next, please.

07:14Major General Rudder.

07:16No idea.

07:17Any idea?

07:18Any, um...

07:19Next, please.

07:21Actually, it's like Tommy Lee, like Jimmy, Tommy Lee.

07:27Um, is it like...

07:29Tom, Jimmy.

07:30Are people in the band?

07:31What's that band that Tommy Lee's in?

07:33Uh, next, please.

07:34Tees in for Taylor.

07:35Assassin Ray.

07:36OK, so, um...

07:38Jimmy Carter.

07:39Assassin Rudder.

07:41Assassin's Creed?

07:42Like, Creed?

07:43And then...

07:44Two seconds.

07:47Boxers.

07:48Not a connection, I'm afraid.

07:50Willie Bay's, do you know?

07:52Jimmy's?

07:54I mean, in a way, yes.

07:56But for a bonus point, I can't take that.

07:58Jimmy Carter, yes, but what was his full name?

08:00Peanuts?

08:03James Earl Carter was his full name.

08:05Oh!

08:06And he had that in common with James Earl Rudder,

08:09a Major General in 1944.

08:11James Earl...

08:12Not Tommy Lee Jones, but James Earl Jones,

08:15a different actor.

08:16And James Earl Ray, of course,

08:19assassinated...

08:20Martin Luther King?

08:21Martin Luther King, exactly so.

08:23What would you like, Whitley Bay's?

08:25The two reads, please.

08:26Two reads?

08:27Your first clue is coming up now.

08:31Uh...

08:32Doesn't ring a bell for me, anyone?

08:34Next, please.

08:35Next, please.

08:36Sam meets Annie.

08:37Like the musical Annie?

08:38Uh...

08:39Yeah, it's a musical Annie.

08:40Um...

08:41Doesn't, again...

08:42No.

08:43Uh, next, please.

08:44Okay, so...

08:45Giant Peach, it's...

08:46Does it land in the sea?

08:47Yeah, it lands in the sea.

08:49And the olympians, do you live in the sea?

08:50It sounds like the sort of place they might live.

08:52Um...

08:53In the sea.

08:54Not it, I'm afraid.

08:55Caraxian's your chance for a bonus point.

08:56We think it's on the moon.

08:57That's not it either.

08:58Have you not read James and the Giant Peach?

08:59Is it New York?

09:00I've seen it.

09:01In the sea.

09:02Oh, yeah.

09:03In the sea.

09:04Not it, I'm afraid.

09:05Caraxian's your chance for a bonus point.

09:06We think it's on the moon.

09:07That's not it either.

09:08Have you not read James and the Giant Peach?

09:09Is it New York?

09:10I've seen it.

09:11James and the Giant Peach.

09:12And that third clue, Sam meets Annie,

09:14that is from Sleepless in Seattle.

09:15Oh!

09:16Sam finally meets Annie.

09:17Do you know where?

09:18Is it the top of the Empire State?

09:19At the top of the Empire State?

09:20Yeah.

09:21Oh, yeah.

09:22It's the top of the Empire State.

09:23Oh, yeah.

09:24It's the top of the Empire State.

09:25It's the top of the Empire State.

09:26It's the top of the Empire State.

09:28At the top of the Empire State Building.

09:30That is also where the Giant Peach lands.

09:32The Olympians, that's in Percy Jackson,

09:34The Lightning Thief, that series.

09:36That's where the Olympians live.

09:37And that second one is an episode from 2007 of Doctor Who,

09:41Daleks in Manhattan.

09:43Yeah.

09:44And these Dalekanium panels are installed

09:46on the Empire State Building.

09:48One question remains.

09:50Horned Viper, that is for you, Caraxians.

09:52Your clues start now.

09:56So, Eton, is that ball games?

09:57Like, how many people play?

09:58Like, yeah, there's five, maybe nine people.

10:01Um, next, please.

10:02Stowe, so, Waltham.

10:04Are these, like, stations?

10:06Or, like, how many stations have...

10:08Or, like, Waltham's very central?

10:09I don't know.

10:10Yeah, they're still on the wall.

10:12Yeah.

10:13Oh, still on the wall, like, Eton on Temp,

10:14like, something like that.

10:15Next, please.

10:16Stop, minus three.

10:18Oh, so it's, like...

10:19Is this to do with Tube?

10:20Like, how many times it appears?

10:22Um, next, please.

10:23Atom.

10:24Oh, uh...

10:26Uh...

10:27Rings?

10:28Rings?

10:29Yeah.

10:30Two seconds.

10:33Players in games.

10:34Not it, I'm afraid.

10:35Another bonus chance for you, Whitley Bays.

10:37Prime Ministers.

10:39Not it.

10:40This is a word one.

10:44Ah.

10:45It's to do with letters.

10:46The number of letters from the beginning to the end of the word.

10:50So, eaten is E to N.

10:54You notice the word to is in the middle of all of them.

10:57So, E...

10:58Very good.

10:59F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N.

11:01Nine letters.

11:02So, the beginning letter to the end, that's how many letters it is.

11:07That means at the end of round one, the Caraxians have one point,

11:11the Whitley Bays have four.

11:16In round two, I only show the teams a maximum of three clues

11:19because I want them to tell me what comes fourth.

11:22Whitley Bays, what would you like?

11:24The Hornet Viper, please.

11:25OK, you'll see the first in a series of pictures.

11:28What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?

11:30Time starts now.

11:33Next, please.

11:37Too happy.

11:38And then...

11:39Next.

11:40Next, please.

11:46Happy?

11:49Four beautiful emojis of boys.

11:52Exactly what we have got.

11:54And why?

11:55One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four for a boy.

11:59Exactly so.

12:00It's the saying about groups of madpies and we've depicted them in emojis.

12:04Caraxians, what would you like?

12:06We'll go twisted flax.

12:08OK.

12:09First in a sequence coming up.

12:11Time starts now.

12:13Next, please.

12:15Yeah.

12:16Insult.

12:17Is this like sewing?

12:18Or like...

12:19Well, I don't know.

12:20Next, please.

12:22Bearer ring.

12:24So what would come fourth now?

12:26So point...

12:27Ring bearer.

12:28Ring bearer.

12:29Point of something.

12:30Ring bearer.

12:31Point...

12:32Pointalism.

12:33Insulted, no.

12:34So what would come fourth?

12:35Is it to do with finger?

12:36Like point finger bearer ring?

12:37Oh, it's the fingers.

12:38So it's a little finger or something?

12:39So point with this one.

12:40Insult with them.

12:41Something on your pinky.

12:42Something on your pinky.

12:43A pinky promise or a pinky promise?

12:44Yeah, yeah.

12:45Yeah.

12:46Something on your pinky finger, so to pinky promise.

12:48Would be an acceptable answer.

12:51We've gone with drinking tea in a pretentious manner.

12:54Use that finger.

12:57You spotted that in the middle there, Ellen.

12:59You almost saw the lightbulb flashing above your head.

13:02What's happening here?

13:03Yeah, so you point with your index finger.

13:05You insult with your middle finger, which I don't think I can do.

13:08You bear a ring on your engagement finger or wedding finger.

13:11And then, yeah, I like the tea one.

13:14Exactly.

13:15So it's the use of your first, second and third finger,

13:17so something you do with your fourth finger.

13:19Back to you, Whitley Bays.

13:20What would you like?

13:21Water, please.

13:22Water?

13:23What would come fourth in this sequence?

13:25Here's the first.

13:29Next, please.

13:30And...

13:31Anything to do with the lip?

13:32What?

13:33I...

13:34Oh, that's a thought.

13:35It seems to be...

13:36Next, please.

13:37Next, please.

13:38And...

13:39Anything to do with the lip?

13:40What?

13:41I...

13:42Oh, that's a thought.

13:43It seems to be...

13:44Next, please.

13:45I'm afraid.

13:46Something, something...

13:47Something pointing up the way.

13:48Two seconds.

13:49Next, please.

13:50Next, please.

13:51D up.

13:52Not the answer, I'm afraid.

13:53Corrections, do you know?

13:54You think it might be A up?

13:55That's not it either.

13:56This is the kind of question I never understand,

14:01because I don't know my left and right.

14:03Next, please.

14:05D up.

14:06Not the answer, I'm afraid.

14:08Corrections, do you know?

14:09You think it might be A up?

14:11That's not it either.

14:12This is the kind of question I never understand,

14:15because I don't know my left and right.

14:17If these letters were in lowercase,

14:21they would have ascenders and descenders.

14:24So a D, the tail goes up,

14:27and a Q, it goes down.

14:30I think, for you, that's going to be backwards.

14:34You're right.

14:35And we're going clockwise,

14:39which I think is this way.

14:43Oh!

14:45B is the answer, anyway.

14:47Shall we see what's on the other channel?

14:50Caraxians, what would you like next?

14:52Can we get the lion, please?

14:53Yes, you can.

14:54What will come forth in this sequence?

14:56Here's the first.

15:00Oh, is that an operation?

15:01Yeah.

15:02Like the game?

15:03Next, please.

15:04How do you take?

15:05Why, please?

15:06Oh.

15:07So if you open...

15:09Is this Heimlich or something?

15:11No, could this be like a political...

15:13It's an execute series of insertions.

15:15Oh, next, please.

15:17Form title.

15:18So is this to do with like a TV show?

15:21Or like...

15:22What would you...

15:23Insertions and extractions.

15:25Form title.

15:26Intake.

15:27Oh, is this like a computer?

15:29Like what you do to a computer?

15:30Like you...

15:31Two seconds.

15:33Uh...

15:34Dan?

15:36Uh...

15:37We think...

15:38Could it be, um...

15:39Two words?

15:40Like in...

15:41No.

15:42Oh, God.

15:43No, we don't have any.

15:44Dan-o, another bonus chance for you, Whitney Bayes.

15:45We're going to go with pirouette.

15:46Would be an acceptable answer.

15:49I was back in my comfort zone.

15:51I could have explained this one.

15:52But you do it for me, Steve.

15:54The first clue is putting your left hand in and your left hand out.

15:57Oh.

15:58And then you agitate widely.

16:01You perform the title, which is doing the hokey-cokey.

16:04And then you turn around, which is pirouette.

16:06In, out, in, out.

16:07Shake it all about.

16:09You do the hokey-cokey.

16:10And you turn around.

16:12Clockwise or anti-clockwise, as you can manage.

16:15Well done.

16:16And your own question, what will it be?

16:18Uh, two reads, please.

16:19Two reads.

16:20What will come forth in the sequence?

16:22Here's the first.

16:24Is that a number of islands?

16:26A number of islands?

16:27A number of islands?

16:28No, I think they're moving to the province.

16:30Shall we go with one more?

16:31Uh, next, please.

16:33Oh, is this maybe bordering, like...

16:37Uzbekistan's, like, double landlocked.

16:40Uh, next, please.

16:41No.

16:42Um, stars.

16:43Stars on the flag.

16:44So it'd be USA 50.

16:45Okay.

16:46Yeah, yeah.

16:47Happy?

16:48Go for it, yeah.

16:49Happy?

16:50USA 50.

16:51At time of recording is the correct answer.

16:56And why would that be?

16:57These are stars on the flag of these countries.

17:00Exactly.

17:01So it's national flags in ascending order of the number of stars they feature.

17:06And on the American flag representing the 50 states.

17:09Coraxians, one question remains.

17:11The eye of Horus swivelling around to wink at you.

17:15First in a sequence coming up now.

17:18Uh, so they're a painter.

17:19Yeah.

17:20So, uh, next, please.

17:21Teller.

17:22Raymond Joseph.

17:23Oh, sweet.

17:24So Joseph Teller.

17:25Catch 52.

17:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.

17:27Oh, so are these...

17:28Are we trying to, like, guess...

17:29Are these, like, Leonardo or, like...

17:30Uh, next, please.

17:31Robin, Rihanna.

17:32So Fenty.

17:33Robin, Rihanna.

17:34So Fenty.

17:35Robin, Rihanna.

17:36So Fenty.

17:37Robin.

17:38Made.

17:39What was Raymond?

17:40I don't know.

17:41Yeah, so what do you think this is numbers?

17:42I think it's my friend of one.

17:43I don't know.

17:44Robin.

17:45Robin.

17:46What is she?

17:47She was a Swedish pop star.

17:48Rihanna.

17:49Word.

17:50Umbrella.

17:51Fenty is her.

17:52One second.

17:53We...

17:54I don't know.

17:55I don't know.

17:56Robin.

17:57What is she?

17:58She was a Swedish pop star.

17:59We...

18:01Don't know.

18:02Fair enough.

18:03Yeah.

18:04Whitley Bays, do you know?

18:05Victoria Cora Mitchell?

18:08What?

18:09No!

18:10I mean...

18:11Why do you say that?

18:12We knew that it was the...

18:14Known by their fourth name.

18:16Caravaggio's known by his fourth name.

18:18Teller from Penn & Teller's known by his third name.

18:20Rihanna's known by her second name.

18:21So I was going to go for someone that was known by their first name.

18:24It occurs to me now I should have gone for someone like Madonna.

18:26But Madonna's the show name.

18:27You should because I actually never allow anyone to address me by my first name.

18:31Sorry.

18:32Even my husband has to say ma'am.

18:34I'm very sorry, Mrs Bromach.

18:35Yes, quite right.

18:36So we need somebody who is known by their first name only.

18:40We've gone with Zendaya.

18:42But Madonna would have done.

18:44That means at the end of round two, the Caraxians have three points,

18:48the Whitley Bays have nine.

18:50Time now for the connecting wall.

18:5316 jumbled up clues that the teams have to sort into four connected groups of four.

18:59Your turn to go first this time.

19:01Corrections, would you like lion or water?

19:03Can we have water, please?

19:04Yes, you can.

19:05Two and a half minutes to solve the water wall.

19:08Starting now.

19:10Hey Danny.

19:11There's a river.

19:12Danny Ratatouille.

19:13True story, Coco Cars.

19:15It's all true.

19:16It's all true.

19:17It's all true.

19:18Ratatouille.

19:19Soul.

19:20Oh, there's one name.

19:21Okay, so should I cycle through?

19:23Oh, yeah.

19:24With...

19:25Oh, Elemental as well.

19:26Oh, yeah, Elemental as well.

19:27Oh, there's loads.

19:28Okay, so Karl Marx, Gucci.

19:30So is this like Gucci, like...

19:32Gucci, so that could be just one in Gucci, and then I don't know.

19:39Vera, Drake?

19:40Yeah, Vera, Drake.

19:41Karl, Drake, Theo, Drake.

19:43Marengo, Drake, maybe.

19:45Yeah, shall we try some Drakes?

19:47Vera, and which are the other Drake?

19:49Oh, I don't know.

19:50Should we go for the...

19:51Try to keep looking at Pixar, and then you guys...

19:53Yeah, yeah.

19:54Maybe it's Rivers.

19:55It's Danube.

19:56No, no, no.

19:57That's Dalb.

19:58It's not Danube, isn't it?

20:00Without a letter.

20:01Oh, without a letter.

20:02Okay, so...

20:03Is the Kiddera River?

20:05Uh...

20:06Okay, so...

20:08I'm just gonna keep trying.

20:11The Wild West, the Wilds.

20:13The Wilds.

20:14The Wilds.

20:16Uh...

20:17Uh...

20:18Maybe there isn't Pixar movies here, or...

20:20No, whatever.

20:21There's just two.

20:22Uh...

20:23West End.

20:25Uh...

20:26Coconuts.

20:27Coconuts.

20:28Yeah, Coconuts.

20:35Yeah.

20:36Marango Guccio.

20:37Or like...

20:38Uh...

20:39Like that?

20:40No?

20:41Okay, Kiddera.

20:42What is Kiddera?

20:43If you kid something...

20:44Uh...

20:45I'm gonna keep going on the Pixar ones.

20:46Just to keep going.

20:47I keep putting Ratatouille maybe, which is the issue.

20:50Um...

20:51Maybe it could be Marengo, Ratatouille, Guccio and Bisque are all maybe Dishes?

20:55Yeah, Dishes.

20:56So Bisque and Ratatouille and then...

20:58Marengo and...

20:59And then...

21:00And then...

21:01And then...

21:02Other one.

21:03Nope.

21:04Okay.

21:05Pixar.

21:06And your time is up.

21:07But you can get points for the connections in the groups you didn't find, so let's resolve

21:21the wall.

21:22There we are.

21:24Up, West, Kiddera and Wall.

21:26They're all Minsters.

21:27They can all be followed by Minster.

21:29Up, Minster, Westminster, Kidder, Minster, War, Minster.

21:32And the next group, Ratatouille, Marengo and so on.

21:35These are the dishes, like European dishes.

21:38They are French, probably, dishes in cuisine.

21:41The next group, Coco, Vera and so on.

21:45These are the first names of the fashion brands.

21:47These are fashion designers.

21:49Yes, Guccio is the first name of Gucci.

21:51Karl Lagerfeldt, Vera Wang and Coco Chanel.

21:54And the last group, Soul, Elemental and so on.

21:58These are the Pixar movies.

21:59Those are the Pixar movies.

22:00There were so many.

22:02Unlucky, you didn't find the groups on the wall,

22:04but you did know all the connections.

22:05So that is four points.

22:07Let's bring in their opponents now.

22:09Give them the lion wall and see how they get on.

22:11Whitley Bays, you have two and a half minutes to solve your wall.

22:14Starting now.

22:17Ursula.

22:18Ursula.

22:19Ursula.

22:20Ursula.

22:21Hades.

22:22Baddies in Disney films.

22:23Baddies in Disney films.

22:24We've got Ursula, Jafar, Gothel, Scar.

22:26Cruella.

22:27We've got loads.

22:28I've got loads.

22:29Other things.

22:30Gaff.

22:31Could gaff be like a slang term for house?

22:32Or...

22:33Or a mistake.

22:34A mistake with an e on the end.

22:36Have we got any word ones?

22:37Or am I rotating Disney?

22:38I think rotate Disney while we have them.

22:39Could laugh the...

22:40Like a swapped letter with Loth.

22:41Are there any others that would give you...

22:42Words for...

22:43Like words for...

22:44Humour.

22:45Humour.

22:46Humour.

22:47Yeah.

22:48And...

22:49Foreign islands.

22:50Nothing wordy there.

22:51Or a farm if you've swapped around a lot.

22:52Yeah.

22:53I'll keep going with the Disney's.

22:54So Ursula.

22:55Hades.

22:56And we're going to say...

22:57Romano.

22:58So we've got rain.

22:59And...

23:00Oh, it's good.

23:01Cruella and Hook.

23:02They're one word films.

23:03Are there any others?

23:04Oh, okay.

23:05Yeah.

23:06Cruella, Hook.

23:07No.

23:08No, you can see in that.

23:09Okay.

23:10It's a place in...

23:11It's a place in Northern Ireland, right?

23:12Are there any others?

23:13It's also another word for a lake sometimes, isn't it?

23:14Far.

23:15Far.

23:16Any others ending in, like, words meaning far away?

23:17Any other, like, word ending ones?

23:18Okay.

23:19We've got to go for some stuff, guys.

23:20I'm sorry.

23:21Any other captains?

23:22Other than Captain Hook?

23:23Let's see.

23:24Is Jean-Claude one of the captains, maybe?

23:25Roy?

23:26Go for it.

23:27Oh, Peter Pepper?

23:28No, is that Pepper?

23:29Any other words meaning far away? Any other word ending ones?

23:33We've got to go for some stuff, guys. I'm sorry.

23:36Any other captains other than Captain Hook?

23:39I can't see. Is Jean-Claude one of the captains, maybe?

23:43Roy?

23:45Oh, Peter Pepper? No. Is that Pepper?

23:51Hades?

23:55I'm going with these.

23:57Ursula.

23:59Ursula.

24:05Romano.

24:07Roman? Any other theories?

24:09Any other, like, historical things? No.

24:13I can't see anything.

24:14Gaff.

24:16Goss. Roman?

24:17Goss. Roman.

24:19I'm afraid your time is up.

24:26But you can get points for the connections in the groups you didn't find.

24:29So let's resolve the wall.

24:31What about the first group?

24:33Scar, Peter, Loch, Olaf and Fongan?

24:36Borough. Town stands in Borough.

24:38Oh, we're done.

24:39You could follow them with Borough.

24:41And the next group, Ursula, Jean-Claude and so on.

24:45These are the first names of fiction writers?

24:48No.

24:49They are all presidents of the European Commission, present and former.

24:55And the next group, Hook, Gaff, Rod and Reel.

24:58These are fishing equipment.

24:59Items of fishing equipment.

25:00And the last group, Hades, Jafar and so on.

25:03These are the Disney villains.

25:04They are the Disney villains.

25:06So you didn't find the groups, but you do get three points for the connections.

25:09Let's have a look at the overall scores.

25:12The Caraxians have seven points.

25:15The Whitley Bays have 12.

25:17So after those horrible walls, let's play some missing vowels.

25:23This time, there are connected groups of clues where we've removed the vowels and squished up the consonants to disguise them.

25:30And teams, I want to know what are the disguised clues.

25:33Fingers on buzzers, please.

25:35I can tell you that the first group are all famous people whose names contain a snooker term.

25:42Corrections.

25:43Robert Plant.

25:44Yes, it is.

25:45Willy Bays.

25:46Wayne Bridge.

25:47Indeed.

25:48Corrections.

25:49Pol Pot.

25:50Correct.

25:51Whitley Bays.

25:52Tommy Cannon.

25:53Yes, indeed.

25:54Next group.

25:55Countries whose names are spelled using only letters from the first half of the alphabet.

25:59Whitley Bays.

26:00Egypt.

26:01Corrections.

26:02Chile.

26:03Correct.

26:05Whitley Bays.

26:06Chile.

26:07Correct.

26:20Whittley Bays.

26:21Correct.

26:22Carraxians.

26:23Mali.

26:24Correct.

26:25Next category.

26:26Next category, things you might buy at the airport.

26:31Caraxians. Sudoku book. Yes.

26:36Caraxians. Togo Raine. Yes.

26:44Don't do this one. Too late, I started speaking.

26:46It's inflatable travel pillow.

26:49Next clue.

26:52Whitley Bays. Last minute souvenir.

26:54Well done. Next category.

26:56Things that are said on the first day of a month.

27:02Whitley Bays. Happy New Year. Correct.

27:07Caraxians. April Fool.

27:12April Fool is correct, and that is the end of the quiz.

27:16Looking at the final scores, the Caraxians finish with 14 points.

27:21The Whitley Bays have 18.

27:24Well done, Whitley Bays.

27:25You are straight through to the next round of the competition.

27:27Caraxians, you're not out, of course.

27:29You're all warmed up, ready for another game to get through to the next round later in the series.

27:33At the beginning of the episode, I quoted her late majesty, Queen Victoria, on the subject of success and failure.

27:41Partly because it's appropriate for a show like this, of course, but also because the BBC has asked us to join their drive

27:47for greater added value for the licence fee payer.

27:51So I'll be trying to throw in lots of extra quotes and facts as we go along.

27:56And I'm going to finish tonight's show by reading Paradise Lost, the great epic verse from the 17th century poet John Milton.

28:04Well, I was. Unfortunately, the teams have taken slightly longer than we expected to answer the questions.

28:11Don't worry about it, teams. It can happen at the beginning of a series, so we might not get through all of it.

28:15But let's start and see how we get on.

28:18Paradise Lost by John Milton.

28:21Of man's first disobedience and the fruit of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste brought death into the world

28:28and all our woe with loss of Eden, till one greater man restore us.

28:34Paradise Lost by John Milton.
