00:00Hello and welcome to Only Connect.
00:24As the Duke of Wellington said at the Battle of Waterloo,
00:26hard-pounding this gentleman, let's see who will pound the longest,
00:31a lyric sadly cut from the ABBA song.
00:35Hoping they'll be pounding the longest tonight are, on my right,
00:40Julianne Morland, a diagnostic radiographer
00:43who was two-time university karate champion,
00:47Nilak Sardu, who once trained to operate a nuclear reactor,
00:51and their captain, Steve Ash,
00:53who slept through a bear attacking his cabin in the Rocky Mountains.
00:58United by diagnosing the difficult, they are the Scanners.
01:02Steve, in your first heat, you didn't recognise some David Bowie albums.
01:06Yes.
01:07What do you listen to?
01:08A lot of Foo Fighters, a lot of Feeder, a lot of rock,
01:12and a lot of David Bowie.
01:15So, yeah.
01:17But what was a high point of the heat?
01:19What's a happier memory?
01:20I think we had a very solid round two.
01:22I think we did very well in the sequences round
01:24and we were able to hold our heads high from that.
01:26So, yeah.
01:27You're a very good team.
01:28It's the stage of the competition
01:30where some very good teams,
01:32who met teams that did a bit better on the night,
01:35meet each other.
01:36And you will be facing this evening, on my left,
01:39Hannah Fitton,
01:41who's the captain of Franchester United football team.
01:44Sam Morris,
01:45who thought he was allergic to limes for three years
01:47and turned out not to be.
01:49And their captain,
01:51Kai Laderman,
01:52who had appendicitis while sitting his physics A-level.
01:56United by cheering at championships,
01:58they are the benchwarmers.
02:00Kai, in your heat,
02:01both teams actually buzzed in early quite a lot,
02:04after a lot of two and three clues.
02:06Is that a gamble you take
02:07now that you can be knocked out?
02:09Or was it a first round strategy?
02:11I think it's just about
02:13sort of trying to get
02:14those first few nerves out of the way, you know.
02:18The earlier we can answer the questions at the start,
02:20the less nervous we're going to be.
02:22So, you know,
02:23I couldn't wait holding off the buzzer for much longer.
02:26What have you been kicking yourselves for
02:28since the last match?
02:29We're gutted about Monet paintings.
02:32But I think otherwise,
02:33I think we held ourselves pretty well.
02:35But we were just,
02:36we were washed away on the missing bowels.
02:38So we hold our heads up high.
02:40You can all hold your heads up high
02:42for the next half hour.
02:44And then three of you can slink away,
02:46ashamed and broken.
02:48Scanners, you won the toss.
02:49You'll be going first.
02:50Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
02:52The lion, please.
02:53Lion.
02:54What is the connection
02:55between these apparently random clues?
02:58Here's the first.
03:02OK, what have we got?
03:03What is it?
03:03Gamma for beating?
03:05Gamma for beating.
03:07So capitalise the first one.
03:09One second.
03:09Next.
03:11Oh, God.
03:14Uh, G, U, U, G, U, U.
03:17I'm not saying anything in this.
03:19Next.
03:21Laugh, laugh.
03:22Are these nonsense words
03:23in particular languages?
03:24Like a blah, blah.
03:25But there's a cat, yeah.
03:27Some even.
03:27Is it just a...
03:29Like a word fillers?
03:31Yeah.
03:32In particular languages.
03:33That's like a cat, cat, cat.
03:36Shall we go for this?
03:37Yeah, just go.
03:37Two seconds.
03:39Are these filler words
03:42like saying blah, blah
03:43in different languages?
03:45I'm afraid they're not.
03:47So I'm going to show the fourth clue
03:48to the bench warmers
03:48for a possible bonus point.
03:50Yeah, yeah.
03:50We think these are dog noises.
03:53The equivalent of woof, woof
03:54in other languages, perhaps.
03:56That is what they are.
03:57What are the languages?
03:58That looks like gab, gab,
04:00possibly in Greek
04:01for the first one.
04:01That's right.
04:02I think you might say
04:02how, how.
04:03OK.
04:04Might be how you make that noise.
04:05And the second one?
04:06Oh, gosh.
04:07No, not a scooby.
04:08Spanish is that one.
04:10And blaf, blaf, Afrikaans.
04:13And the French,
04:14waff, waff at the end.
04:16What would you like
04:16for your own question?
04:18The water, please.
04:19Water.
04:20What will connect these clues?
04:21Here's the first.
04:23Japan, a silver cup.
04:24Could be a trophy,
04:25a ceremonial item.
04:27I can't think of anything.
04:28It's on flag.
04:30Next, please.
04:32Ireland 2000.
04:33That's probably what you get
04:34for winning something.
04:35Yes, winning some sort of tournament.
04:37Can we think of anything
04:37that might have that level?
04:40They both do rugby.
04:43Next, please.
04:44USA, a letter from the president
04:45if you request it.
04:47If you get, when you maybe get to 100.
04:48100, yep.
04:49And then it'd be a telegram
04:50for the last one for Britain.
04:51Let's go for it.
04:52Yep.
04:52Are we happy now?
04:53Yep.
04:55We think these might be
04:57what you're awarded
04:58in certain countries
04:59for turning 100.
05:01Exactly right.
05:02And at clue four,
05:03we actually had a telegram
05:04in Sweden
05:06from the monarchy.
05:08What do you think
05:09of clue two?
05:11Great.
05:11I take it.
05:12It's our number.
05:13Where does it come from?
05:14It's called
05:15the president's bounty.
05:16I don't know why
05:17it's that amount particularly,
05:18but it predates the euro.
05:20A cash prize
05:21you get in Ireland.
05:22In America,
05:24you would get
05:24a letter from the president
05:25congratulating you
05:26for turning 100,
05:27but you have to request it.
05:28Do you think they've had
05:29fewer requests
05:30in recent years
05:32or more?
05:33Do you think
05:33you have to stagger
05:34when you turn 100
05:35depending on your politics?
05:37Is it going to be...
05:38Because you want to get
05:39a letter from the right president.
05:40Yeah, yeah.
05:41Yes, and in Japan,
05:42a silver sake cup.
05:44You get a surprise.
05:45Rather nice, isn't it?
05:47Well, then,
05:48you get the points for that.
05:49Scanners,
05:50what would you like?
05:51Let's have the Eye of Horus,
05:52please.
05:52The Eye of Horus.
05:53These are going to be
05:54picture clues.
05:55What do they have in common?
05:56Here's the first.
06:02Next.
06:09Next.
06:09Next.
06:11Okay, safety match.
06:13Match there.
06:14Next.
06:19Next.
06:26Two seconds.
06:32Oh, we've got it, yeah.
06:35Have these all
06:36started fires?
06:39That's not the answer,
06:40I'm afraid.
06:41Benchwarmers,
06:42do you know?
06:43What have we got?
06:44So, that's David
06:45Bomba Lloyd at first,
06:47but I don't know.
06:49I can't let you chat.
06:51They didn't start fires.
06:53They aim to start fires
06:56of the romantic variety.
06:59You're right,
07:00Bumble,
07:01David Lloyd Bumble,
07:03Bumble shares his name
07:04with a dating app.
07:06At Clue 2,
07:07the beautiful
07:07Dr Evadne Hinge,
07:09Match at Clue 3,
07:11and Tinder.
07:12They're all names
07:13of dating apps.
07:15Very good.
07:15You're all young,
07:16you must be on dating apps.
07:19Married.
07:20Well, that
07:21is no bar
07:22in this day and age.
07:24Actually,
07:24I say that,
07:25I think one of them
07:25hinges it,
07:26one of them has a slogan
07:27designed to be deleted,
07:29meaning,
07:30you know,
07:30it's intended
07:31for a long-term relationship,
07:32because so many dating apps
07:33now
07:33are almost deliberately
07:35aimed at people
07:36to have these
07:36sort of casual hookups.
07:37So much fun
07:38to be in your 20s
07:39these days.
07:41Ventraumas,
07:42you didn't get
07:42that bonus point,
07:43but you may choose
07:43a question.
07:44What would you like?
07:44Can we have
07:45the Horned Viper,
07:45please?
07:46Yes, you can.
07:47It's the music question.
07:49What do these have in common?
07:50Here's the first.
07:51For normal health,
07:52I have fought
07:53a valuable lesson
07:54she had taught.
07:55Don't talk that the candy
07:56is gone on a ship.
07:58Next, please.
07:59You gentlemen can say,
08:01hey gal,
08:01finish them floors,
08:02get upstairs.
08:03What's wrong with you?
08:04I don't think it's
08:05like who they care about.
08:06What's the matter
08:07with you, right?
08:07It's that guy.
08:09Next, please.
08:10Next, please.
08:17Next, please.
08:20Is it Kenny from the block?
08:22Can I turn the block?
08:23OK, yeah.
08:24Can I turn the block?
08:25It could be...
08:26Two seconds.
08:30We'll try block.
08:34Not it, I'm afraid.
08:36Scanners,
08:37you have a chance
08:37for a bonus now.
08:39Summer.
08:40Not it.
08:41I think you only recognised
08:43Jennifer Lopez,
08:44Jenny from the block.
08:45Yeah.
08:45It's not block,
08:46it's Jenny.
08:48Oh!
08:48So the first one,
08:49you don't know,
08:50De La Salle,
08:50Jennifer.
08:51Oh, Jenny.
08:53No?
08:54Afraid not.
08:54Lost my favourite penny,
08:55I think was the next line.
08:56Well, that was that.
08:57Second one,
08:58wonderful Nina Simone
08:59singing Pirate Jenny
09:00from the Threatening Opera
09:01and Jennifer Juniper.
09:04Donovan was clue three.
09:05All Jennys.
09:07What would you like next,
09:08Scanners?
09:09Let's have
09:10Twisted Flax, please.
09:11Twisted Flax,
09:12what connects these clues?
09:13Here's the first.
09:15OK.
09:16It's got feelings,
09:17clue there.
09:18Next.
09:20Russian Ark.
09:22It's Russian Ark.
09:24Anything more?
09:25Ringing a bell with this one?
09:27Yeah.
09:28Next.
09:30A bit of a man
09:31to get this little movie.
09:33They're not one of these
09:34like a monster takes
09:36or something like this,
09:37are they?
09:39Birdman did
09:39and I don't remember
09:40but rope.
09:41Should we get one more?
09:42Next.
09:44Yes, we're in trouble.
09:47We think these movies
09:48all involve one shot takes.
09:51Absolutely right.
09:52Very well done.
09:53Which of them have you seen?
09:55I've seen none of them
09:56but Neil actually,
09:57I presume,
09:57has seen every single one.
09:58Scene 1917
09:59and part of rope
10:00and part of Birdman.
10:03Why does Steve think
10:04you'd have seen them all?
10:05I watch more films
10:06than he does.
10:07Not that you're particularly
10:08a fan of the single take
10:09film?
10:10No.
10:11Very well done.
10:12All films done
10:13in a single take
10:14or so it looks.
10:16Russian arc,
10:17the only one
10:17that was actually
10:17shot in one take.
10:19Rope,
10:19the Alfred Hitchcock,
10:20actually a series
10:21of ten minute takes
10:22which he said himself,
10:23Hitchcock,
10:24was an experiment
10:24that didn't work
10:25but they all look
10:27like they were
10:27so if you go to the cinema
10:28and see any of those
10:30it appears
10:31brilliant artistry.
10:34Benchwarmers,
10:34one question remains,
10:35the two reads.
10:36What connects these clues?
10:39Here's the first.
10:40Postmodern.
10:41It's an armament era.
10:43There's anything in the word
10:44post-pode.
10:46Next, please.
10:48Boris Johnson,
10:49Prime Minister,
10:502019,
10:5122,
10:52author,
10:5362 virgins.
10:54Next, please.
10:56Frozen?
10:57Oh, it's Froyo,
10:58Bojo,
10:58Pomo.
10:59Yep, yes.
11:01We think these
11:03are all abbreviated
11:03to rhyming
11:04little phrases
11:05like Bojo
11:06and Froyo.
11:09That's exactly right.
11:10What do you think
11:11the last clue
11:11would have been?
11:12Slow motion.
11:13Slow motion.
11:15I had never heard
11:16that postmodern
11:17might be abbreviated
11:18a Pomo.
11:18What a revolting idea.
11:22That means
11:23at the end of round one.
11:24The scanners have
11:25one point,
11:26the benchwarmers
11:27have five.
11:30We'll play round two now.
11:32The sequence is round.
11:32Scanners,
11:33you'll be going first again.
11:34What would you like?
11:35Let's have two reads, please.
11:37Two reads.
11:39These are going to be
11:40picture clues.
11:40What would you expect
11:41to see in the fourth picture?
11:42Here's the first.
11:46Triangle.
11:48Next.
11:49Oh, this is the
11:51E, C, D, A, D, C, D, B, E, A.
11:53Semicircle.
11:55D, yeah.
11:55Point to the other side.
11:56Yeah.
11:59It's going to be
12:00a kind of semicircle
12:01type shape
12:02facing towards the right.
12:04It's going to be
12:04the inside of a letter D.
12:07You're unlucky there.
12:09You've buzzed in too early.
12:10I'm going to show
12:11the third
12:12in a sequence
12:13to the benchwarmers
12:14for a possible bonus point.
12:15So it's the next one
12:16that can be filled in.
12:18I need an answer quickly.
12:19It's the O,
12:19the inside of an O,
12:20an oval.
12:21The inside of an O.
12:23Where you're unlucky,
12:24Scanners,
12:24is of course
12:24there is no inside of a C.
12:26It's open.
12:28It's a sequence
12:28of the enclosed letters.
12:31You could probably
12:32make a sequence
12:32that went CD,
12:34but if you see
12:34the third clue
12:35you'll find it's a D.
12:36The next enclosed letter
12:37is an O.
12:39So you get the bonus point,
12:40benchwarmers,
12:41and what would you like
12:42for your own question?
12:42We'll have the
12:43Eye of Horus, please.
12:44Eye of Horus.
12:45What would come forth
12:46in this sequence?
12:47Here's the first.
12:49Eldoret.
12:49Any ideas?
12:50Eldorado, maybe.
12:51Some anagrams.
12:52Little Dorit, maybe.
12:54Slim out, I'm sure.
12:55Maybe.
12:55Next, please.
12:57That could be
12:58place names,
12:59people names.
13:00It's getting bigger.
13:01Nothing in the words
13:02that I can see.
13:03Next, please.
13:05Ambassador.
13:06Oh, this is maybe
13:07place names
13:08getting more modern.
13:10I don't know.
13:11OK, so you think
13:12it might be the same place.
13:12It's not Mumbai, is it?
13:13Quite possibly, no.
13:14I think it's in Africa.
13:16Nobasa, yeah.
13:18I mean, Kinshasa
13:18is a capital
13:19that sounded a bit like that,
13:20but that's tenuous.
13:22And Kinshasa is a sound.
13:23Yeah, and what are we going to get?
13:25Some sort of big city,
13:25maybe?
13:26Yeah, good, good.
13:27One second.
13:29We'll try Kinshasa.
13:31Not the answer,
13:32I'm afraid.
13:33Scanners,
13:34you get the chance
13:34of a bonus now.
13:35Do you know?
13:35Is it Nairobi?
13:36The answer is Nairobi.
13:39And do you know why?
13:40Are these cities in Kenya
13:41getting progressively bigger?
13:42That's right.
13:43They're very much
13:44not the same city.
13:45They are different cities
13:46in Kenya
13:47in order of the most populous.
13:49And the most people
13:49would be in Nairobi.
13:51Well done,
13:52you get that bonus.
13:52What would you like
13:53for your question?
13:54Let's have the Horned Viper,
13:55please.
13:56OK, what would come forth
13:57in this sequence?
13:59Here's the first.
14:01OK, stone.
14:02That's a nice point.
14:03Next.
14:05Seems clear,
14:06that's T.
14:06Volkswagen.
14:19Is the right answer.
14:21You are better in round two.
14:23With no starters.
14:25What do you think
14:25clue three would have been?
14:27Ultraviolet.
14:28Yes, it would.
14:29Let's bring up the sequence,
14:30please explain it.
14:31Because these things
14:31are either abbreviated
14:32or known as two letters
14:34which are consecutive
14:34in the alphabet.
14:35We have ST for stone,
14:37TU is the Sainsbury's brand,
14:38UV for ultraviolet
14:39and then VW
14:40would follow for Volkswagen.
14:41Exactly right.
14:42You're scientists.
14:43Can you explain this?
14:45Bees, apparently,
14:46can see ultraviolet light
14:48in the same way
14:49that dogs can hear things
14:50that a human ear can't hear.
14:52Bees can see ultraviolet.
14:54How do we know that?
14:55I'm a qualitative researcher.
14:57I did lots of questionnaires
14:58with bees
14:59and that was their feedback.
15:00I sit here week after week
15:05and go, you know,
15:05bees can see ultraviolet.
15:07Next question.
15:08And then I say,
15:08how?
15:09Why?
15:10How would you know?
15:11Like, you could play
15:12a high-pitched noise
15:13to a dog
15:13and if it looked unhappy
15:14you'd assume it could hear it.
15:16How you can tell a bee
15:17is it reaching
15:19for the suntan lotion?
15:20We simply don't know.
15:22Benchwarmers,
15:22what would you like?
15:23Twisted flax, please.
15:25Twisted flax.
15:26What would come forth
15:27in this sequence?
15:28Here's the first.
15:29Time person.
15:30So time person of the year
15:31is a regular award.
15:33Could it be of the year?
15:34Could it be different
15:34time periods
15:35that we're awarding
15:37to?
15:37We don't know.
15:39Next, please.
15:40Premier League manager
15:41of the month.
15:42Yeah, so year, month,
15:43week, day.
15:44Could it be week?
15:45I think you do have
15:46of the week.
15:46What would you do?
15:47Would we want to go
15:47for another one?
15:48Just to be sure.
15:49Yeah, we probably should.
15:51Yeah, go on.
15:52Next, please.
15:53Of the week.
15:54Match for match
15:55of the day.
15:58Match.
15:59For what reason?
16:00Match of the day.
16:01Exactly right.
16:02We went with
16:02of the year,
16:05of the month,
16:06of the week,
16:06of the day.
16:07Now, this is interesting.
16:08I said,
16:09would you buzz in early
16:11in a match
16:11where you can get
16:12knocked out?
16:12The answer is no,
16:13because you knew this
16:14at clue one, I think.
16:15Yeah, we were
16:16nervy on the direction
16:18and the different steps,
16:20so we'll play it safe
16:21this time.
16:22Play it safe.
16:22Well, the answer is soup
16:24or match.
16:26Back to you,
16:27scanners, for a choice.
16:28Water, please.
16:29Water.
16:29What would come forth
16:30in this sequence?
16:31Here's the first.
16:34Corporation tax.
16:35Is there a particular
16:36incentive?
16:37I think it's like
16:3818%.
16:39Next.
16:42Corporation tax is maybe
16:4410 or 12%.
16:4518%.
16:46VT is 18%.
16:47And next.
16:49Is this in the order
16:53that it gets taken out
16:54of some?
16:55No, it's corporation tax.
16:57Is this what they
16:57contribute to the economy?
16:59What's the biggest
16:59kind of contribution?
17:02Ah, it's the income tax.
17:04Income tax, yeah.
17:06Okay.
17:06Are we happy to go for that?
17:07Yeah, thank you.
17:11Income tax.
17:12Is the right answer.
17:13Well done.
17:13And why would that be?
17:14Nealex?
17:15We think it's the biggest source
17:19of income for the government.
17:23That's exactly right.
17:24It's the taxes that bring in
17:25the most revenue,
17:26going from corporation tax
17:28up to income tax.
17:29Despite many people's
17:30best attempts to avoid it,
17:32that still brings in
17:33the most money.
17:34Well done.
17:36Benchwarmers,
17:36one question remains.
17:37Lion,
17:38you'll be seeing the first
17:39in a sequence.
17:40What comes fourth?
17:41Time starts now.
17:43100% of items
17:44could be the word
17:44items or everything.
17:47Think of the letters.
17:49Next, please.
17:50You've been critically,
17:51so that means common,
17:52commonly.
17:53So it appears in there.
17:55What are the items?
17:56What could it be?
17:56Everything.
17:57It's not everywhere.
17:57Could it be?
17:58Everything,
17:59everywhere.
18:00Yeah,
18:00everything,
18:00all at once.
18:00Yeah,
18:01all at once.
18:02What's going to be that?
18:02It's going to be the third one.
18:04It's going to be everywhere,
18:05though.
18:05Yeah,
18:06it is everywhere.
18:07So everything,
18:07everywhere,
18:08all at,
18:09and then once again?
18:10Maybe it'll be at once.
18:11It'll be at once.
18:12It'll be at once.
18:14OK.
18:14Are we happy?
18:15No, still.
18:16Risk this one.
18:18We'll risk this one.
18:20Immediately.
18:22For what reason?
18:23At once.
18:24Is the right answer.
18:26We went with simultaneously,
18:28in the sense of at the same time.
18:30What's happening here?
18:31We think this is the film,
18:33everything,
18:33everywhere,
18:34all at once.
18:35Exactly right,
18:36that won seven Oscars in 2023,
18:39including Best Picture.
18:40You seen that one,
18:40Neil Action?
18:41Yes.
18:42Is it good?
18:43I enjoyed it.
18:44Is it cheerful?
18:48I think,
18:48yeah,
18:49I think a lot of parents,
18:49I think a lot of parents would like it.
18:52I feel like,
18:53I look at the list of Best Picture nominees,
18:55thinking what would be a good film to see,
18:57and they're increasingly just bleak.
19:00This one is not.
19:01I mean,
19:02am I just old?
19:03I like a nice romantic comedy.
19:05Is this that?
19:06Not quite,
19:07no.
19:08No,
19:08I suspected not.
19:10That means,
19:10at the end of round two,
19:12the scanners have seven points,
19:13the benchwarmers have 11.
19:18Onwards to the connecting wall,
19:19and benchwarmers,
19:20you'll be going first.
19:21Would you like lion or water?
19:23I'll have lion, please.
19:24Lion,
19:25two and a half minutes to solve it,
19:26starting now.
19:29Spice Girls,
19:32Jerry Girls,
19:33Golden Girls.
19:33Any other girls?
19:35Cheeky Girls.
19:36Cheeky Girls.
19:36Cheeky Girls.
19:37Anything else?
19:37Cheetah.
19:38Cheetah Girls?
19:39Yeah.
19:40Okay.
19:41You've got County Amar,
19:42County Antrim.
19:44Good shout, H.
19:45So you've got the Irish counties.
19:46Amar down,
19:47Tyrone and Antrim,
19:49and Firminar.
19:51If press,
19:52I'm not sure if Tyrone's in Northern Ireland,
19:53but I know these ones are.
19:54Okay.
19:55Shall I cycle them?
19:56Yeah.
19:56Yeah.
19:57Cheeky and Toe.
19:58And Blue Dominic.
20:03What else have we got?
20:04Elk Grey T.
20:05Nice.
20:05Three lives now,
20:06plenty of time.
20:07Okay.
20:07Yeah.
20:08Okay.
20:09Leg,
20:10cheek,
20:10ear.
20:11Leg.
20:11I'm in and a cure.
20:12Yes.
20:12So let's look at the other ones.
20:15Slowly.
20:17These are all feathers?
20:18Yes.
20:18These are all feathers.
20:20Are we happy?
20:21Yeah.
20:21Are we happy?
20:22Solve the wall.
20:24You made short work of that one.
20:25Tell me about the connection,
20:27starting with the first blue group,
20:28Derry,
20:29Golden and so on.
20:30These can all be followed by girls.
20:32Yes,
20:32they can.
20:32And what are the entities that you get when you've done that?
20:35Derry Girls,
20:36fantastic sitcom about 90s Ireland.
20:39Spice Girls,
20:41obviously the famous five.
20:43Golden Girls,
20:43I think it's famous,
20:44but I don't know it.
20:45Is it a film?
20:46I'm not sure.
20:46No,
20:47do you know the Golden Girls?
20:48Thank you for being a friend.
20:50No,
20:50there was a long running sitcom about four,
20:55well,
20:55it was supposed to be four old ladies.
20:57That's why it's called that.
20:58I mean,
20:58if you look now,
20:59I think they were probably about 43.
21:01Bea Arthur was the star,
21:03and one of them was her mother,
21:04who I think was actually,
21:05the actress was younger than one of the others.
21:08But the idea,
21:08just because in those days,
21:10everybody had white hair from the age of about 28,
21:12and they all lived in a house.
21:13It was a great sitcom,
21:14actually.
21:15Cheetah Girls,
21:16what's that?
21:17I think that is a Disney Channel show that I grew up with,
21:21so I can't quite remember it,
21:22though.
21:22It feels like a long time ago.
21:23It was a series of novels by Deborah Gregory,
21:26adapted for Disney.
21:28And the green group,
21:28Tyrone,
21:29Antrim,
21:29and so on.
21:30These are Irish counties.
21:32You couldn't be more specific.
21:33Northern Irish counties.
21:34They are counties of Northern Ireland.
21:36And the next group,
21:37Down,
21:37Plume,
21:38and so on.
21:38These are all types of feather,
21:39or related to feathers.
21:41They are all feathery things.
21:42And the last group,
21:43Cheeky,
21:44Lego,
21:44and so on.
21:45They begin with body parts.
21:47They do.
21:48Cheek,
21:48leg,
21:49chin,
21:49and ear,
21:50with a letter added.
21:50That is all the connections,
21:52as well as the groups.
21:53That is a total of eight,
21:54plus the bonus makes ten,
21:56the maximum score.
21:57Let's bring in their opponents now,
21:59give them the other wall,
22:00and see how they get on.
22:01Scanners,
22:01you've got the water wall,
22:02two and a half minutes to solve it,
22:04starting now.
22:07Okay.
22:09Trench,
22:09gully,
22:10trough,
22:10ditch.
22:11We've also got some secret,
22:13just have extra letters.
22:15We've got shark,
22:16manta,
22:17tench.
22:18Is there another one
22:19on the list there?
22:21Cod.
22:22Cod, yeah.
22:23Down there.
22:23What did you say about the gully?
22:25Gully?
22:25Gully,
22:25trough,
22:26ditch.
22:26Trough,
22:26ditch.
22:27A ha-ha,
22:28and a diker boat,
22:29something like that as well,
22:30aren't they?
22:30Yeah.
22:32Let's circle through.
22:34A few of those.
22:36We're not missing a fourth there,
22:38are we?
22:42I've not tried.
22:44I think I've tried all of those.
22:45Is a fossil,
22:46so something like that?
22:47I don't know.
22:49Davy,
22:50is it?
22:50Is it Davy Jones,
22:51Ruth Jones?
22:53Davy Jones is spelled differently.
22:55Wasn't Davy a BBC commissioner?
22:58Greg Dyke?
23:01Is it Tim Davy?
23:02Tim Davies?
23:04I'm not sure about which ones these are.
23:06I think we'd find one of the other categories.
23:10Car,
23:10Red Car,
23:12Red Bridge,
23:13are these places?
23:14Red Ruth?
23:14Red Ditch.
23:15Red Ditch,
23:16yes, well done.
23:17Are you lives now?
23:18So we've got here,
23:19we've still got gully,
23:20trough,
23:21ha-ha,
23:22and I'm sure I've tried
23:22that already,
23:23so do you want me to try that again
23:25one last time?
23:25So you would think the other ones
23:26commissioners do use?
23:28I'm not sure.
23:28I mean, Davy,
23:30I wonder if it's BBC,
23:32because of Greg Dyke,
23:34and I'm sure there was a Davy on the list.
23:36Should I go for these four,
23:38if I add Davy to this list?
23:40Yeah.
23:41And so on for who?
23:42Very well done.
23:43Great indeed.
23:44But what about the connections?
23:45Tell me about the first group,
23:47Chord,
23:48and so on.
23:49These are sea creatures
23:50which have an extra R in the name.
23:52R has been added to the names
23:54of fish,
23:55cod,
23:55shark,
23:56tench,
23:56and a manta.
23:58And the next group,
23:59Ditch,
24:00car,
24:00and so on.
24:01These are places
24:02which,
24:03when you add the word red
24:04to the front of them.
24:06Exactly.
24:06So,
24:07Redditch,
24:07Redcar,
24:07Redbridge,
24:08and Redruth.
24:09And the next group,
24:10Dyke,
24:11Davy,
24:12Hall,
24:12and Foote.
24:13I think the BBC Director Generals.
24:16They have all been,
24:17perhaps,
24:18Directors General,
24:19one might say,
24:20of the BBC.
24:21Greg Dyke,
24:22Tim Davy,
24:24Tony Hall,
24:25and I think it's R.W. Foote.
24:27Even if he was in the 1940s,
24:28you wouldn't view someone's first name
24:30in those days far too rude.
24:31But some initials,
24:32Foote.
24:33And the last group,
24:34Gully,
24:35Trough,
24:36and so on.
24:36These are all ditches.
24:38They are all types of ditch.
24:39So that is all the groups,
24:41all the connections and the bonus.
24:42It's a maximum of 10 points.
24:44Very well done.
24:45Let's have a look at the scores
24:46going into the final round.
24:48The Scanners have 17 points.
24:51The Benchformers have 21.
24:54So two perfect walls.
24:56It's changed nothing.
24:57It will be the missing vowels
24:58that decide who stays in the competition
25:00and who goes home.
25:02Good luck, teams,
25:03and fingers on buzzers.
25:04The first group are all
25:05animal idioms.
25:07Benchformers.
25:11Frog in your throat.
25:12Correct.
25:16Benchwarmers.
25:17Butterflies in your stomach.
25:19Yes, it is.
25:23Benchwarmers.
25:23Whale of a time.
25:24Correct.
25:28Scanners.
25:29Elephant in the room.
25:30Correct.
25:31Next category.
25:32A rice and a rice.
25:34Scanners.
25:37Basmati and Tim.
25:38Correct.
25:41Benchwarmers.
25:42Jasmine and Condoleezza.
25:44Yes, it is.
25:49Benchwarmers.
25:50Arboreo and Annika.
25:52Very well done.
25:56Scanners.
25:57Long Grain and Declan.
25:59Correct.
26:00Next category.
26:01Film titles with hood removed.
26:07Scanners.
26:07Parent.
26:08Correct.
26:11Scanners.
26:12Robin, Prince of Thieves.
26:13Yes, it is.
26:17Scanners.
26:18Robin, Men in Tights.
26:19Well done.
26:23Scanners.
26:23Kidult.
26:24Correct.
26:24Next category.
26:25Board games that have won
26:26the Spiel des Jahres.
26:28Yes.
26:29Scanners.
26:31Ticket to Rye.
26:32Correct.
26:37That's it.
26:38That's the end of the quiz.
26:40And what a round four.
26:43I can tell you one point divides the winners and losers here.
26:48Any of you could stay in the competition,
26:51but it is with 26, the Benchwarmers.
26:54Well done.
26:55Very well done.
26:56Well played.
26:57Scanners.
26:57I mean, heroic Steve particularly.
27:00I mean, your team was behind and you went further behind and then you just powered through
27:04to one point from victory.
27:07Probably that's no consolation, but very well done.
27:11And I'm really sorry to lose your team.
27:13I mean, you have a proper grown-up job.
27:16A bunch of radiographers, you've taken time to come and play the quiz.
27:19We're so happy to have you.
27:21Thanks so much for coming.
27:22Thank you for having us.
27:23Earlier in the show, we talked about single takes and editing and people that are interested
27:29in that sort of thing might want this little glimpse of life here at Only Connect.
27:33Obviously, the broadcast show has to be half an hour, but I don't know while we're recording
27:39it how much time is taken up with the actual gameplay, the important stuff of the questions
27:43and how much is just chat that can go.
27:46That's decided in the edit, which all happens after the whole series is recorded.
27:51So what I do at the end of every episode, and I've been doing it for 11 weeks now, is read
27:56all of Paradise Lost and then later on in the edit, they'll put in whatever bit we've got to.
28:03So settle in, teams, from the top.
28:07He trusted to have equaled the most high if he opposed and with ambitious aim against the
28:12throne and monarchy of God, raised in pious war in heaven and battle proud with vain attempt.
28:21And I'll see you next time.
