00:00The great doctor, organist and theologian Albert Schweitzer once said,
00:26happiness is the key to success. If you love what you're doing, you'll be successful.
00:32So here we go with episode 524. God help me. I've only connect. Come on, keep it together.
00:43I'm so looking forward to the programme. Let's meet the teams. On my right, Hannah Fitton,
00:49a telecommunications product manager who won a Blue Peter competition to have afternoon tea with
00:55the Queen. Sam Morris, a logistics manager who owns 10 different types of buffalo sauce.
01:02And their captain, Kai Laderman, a software engineer who achieved his only football trophy
01:07while on crutches watching from the stands. Spectators of sports, they are the benchwarmers.
01:13Hello, Kai. Before your last match, you'd been to Vietnam, I think. Have you managed to get
01:19anywhere glamorous since that game? Yes, Hannah and I have been studying the bars of the Portuguese coast,
01:24so we come back refreshed and revitalised. That sounds like a good holiday.
01:31Tonight, you need to beat, on my left, Cath Foster, a counsellor who has planted apple trees with
01:37Bez from the Happy Mondays. Peter Flynn, a biology teacher who volunteered as a safari guide in South Africa.
01:45And their captain, Charlotte Jackson-Orland, a French and Spanish teacher who can recite every episode of Friends.
01:52United by the city they love, they are the worker bees.
01:56Charlotte, can you ride a horse?
01:59I've not done it for about 25 years, so I'd give it a good go.
02:03But you have done it? I have done it, yeah.
02:05How did it go? Have you fallen off much?
02:07No, I've never really got much above a trot, though.
02:10There's a horse outside the studio here.
02:12It makes me sorry!
02:13I've got so obsessed with it, I keep giving it apples.
02:15It really seems like a nice horse, it makes me almost believe it's possible to get on one without injury.
02:21But I don't really believe it.
02:21She did have a go afterwards.
02:23I might have a go afterwards.
02:24Anyway, on with the show.
02:26Worker bees, you'll be going first. Your opponent's won the toss, but they've thrown you into bat.
02:30So, please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
02:33Could we have the lion, please?
02:35Yes, you could.
02:37It's the music question, you'll be hearing the clues.
02:40Here we go.
02:47Next, please.
02:55Next, please.
02:56They're all, it's hearsay, gossip, it's salaciousness.
03:25It absolutely is.
03:28Gossip was clue two, and hearsay at clue four.
03:30What were the others?
03:31I don't know, I thought the first one was like Smokey Robinson, but that doesn't make sense now.
03:35It's My Life by Talk Talk was one of the ones.
03:37Talk Talk!
03:37Talk Talk, It's My Life was clue three, and the first one was Hold Back the Night, Graham Parker, and the Rumour.
03:44Oh.
03:45Or Tittle Tattle, Gossip and Hearsay.
03:46Well done.
03:48Benchwarmers, what would you like?
03:49Let's have two reads, please.
03:50Two reads.
03:51What is the connection between these clues?
03:53Here's the first.
03:55Messages from traitors.
03:56Did it come in a letter, a envelope, a sealed spot?
04:00Yes, so it announces that you've been killed, doesn't it?
04:02Yeah.
04:04If it's that, yeah.
04:05Yeah.
04:05They don't send any other messages, do they?
04:07No, no.
04:07Do you want more?
04:09Next, please.
04:09Or recruit.
04:10Or recruit.
04:11Or recruit, that's a good shout.
04:12Yeah, they're stamped.
04:13Oh.
04:13Yeah, wax sealed.
04:15Sealed with a wax seal, do you reckon?
04:17Like, oh, is it red?
04:17I think that's what we're going to shout.
04:18Yeah, I don't mind it.
04:19A wax seal.
04:20A wax seal?
04:21Yeah?
04:21Yeah.
04:22Shall we try it?
04:22Let's go for it.
04:23Yeah.
04:25We think they might all be sealed with possibly a wax seal.
04:29They all have a wax seal.
04:31Very well done.
04:32Now, what's interesting is, I think this might be a generational thing.
04:36We assumed that at Clue 1, you'd spiral off into history and your executions and you thought immediately of the TV show.
04:47Yeah, we're great fans of the show, so it's straight on our brain, yeah.
04:51Yes, you see, we didn't foxy with that at all.
04:54Cartier packages, I mean, I'm assuming that's how you got it.
04:56Maybe you've just received a lot of Cartier packages.
04:58I don't think so.
05:01And Maker's Mark Bourbon.
05:03I recognise the bottle somewhat.
05:04What, maybe an M in the seal?
05:06I'm not too sure.
05:07They're dipped in.
05:08Yes.
05:08Turned upside down and dipped in wax, aren't they?
05:10That's right.
05:11And that last clue, Pope's rooms.
05:13People might know from the film Conclave, when a Pope has died or stepped down, in the case of Pope Benedict,
05:18the rooms are sealed and a red wax seal is stamped on them.
05:23Worker B's, what would you like?
05:24Water, please.
05:25Water.
05:26What will connect these clues?
05:27Here's the first.
05:29Stephen King's, um, is my going to, like, what?
05:32His wife would have gotten, like, a divorce.
05:33Or is it, as even divorce, could it be a book he's written or something?
05:37OK.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Next, please.
05:43I don't know.
05:44Was it the one that was on the other side?
05:46No.
05:47No, it wasn't.
05:47No.
05:47It was the one that was going to be covered.
05:48Next, please.
05:51Seven, you're going to.
05:52Was that right with that, a chew?
05:53OK, so, so.
05:54I'm not sure.
05:55I don't know.
05:55No.
05:56It was the one that was in it that had to be changed.
05:58No, I don't know.
05:58Next, please.
06:01Oh, did it have to be, like, big?
06:04Can I have some numbers in it that had to be changed?
06:06Two seconds.
06:07It had to be postponed?
06:08They had to be changed due to their content.
06:13Not it, I'm afraid.
06:14So, a bonus chance for you benchwarmers?
06:16We think that Al Gore might have been at all of them.
06:18What are you saying about Mrs. King and Al Gore?
06:25No, this is to do with the song Mambo No. 5.
06:30Stephen King, I mean, that's slightly silly, it can't really have been,
06:33but Stephen King claimed his wife wanted to divorce him
06:35because he played that song so often.
06:37I mean, they've been married since 1971.
06:39I would say they probably wouldn't have done.
06:41The Democratic National Convention, it was Al Gore, of course,
06:45attempting to be elected.
06:46And who was the outgoing president?
06:48Bill Clinton.
06:49And what might have been the problem with the song?
06:51Oh, Monica.
06:52It was going to be played at a convention,
06:54but a little bit of Monica in my life, they thought, was a bad idea.
06:58Clue three is about a copyright trial
07:00because the song borrows very heavily from a 1949 Mambo track
07:05and the last one, Bob the Builder, released a jolly version
07:08at what turned out to be a rather inappropriate moment.
07:12No points there, but benchwarmers, you may choose a question.
07:15The Eye of Horus, please.
07:17Eye of Horus.
07:18What connects these clues?
07:19Here's the first.
07:21Lee Armstrong.
07:23Lance Armstrong missing the ANC.
07:25Stretch Armstrong, Neil Armstrong.
07:28Yeah, Armstrong's up to the...
07:29We'll go next, please.
07:31Hugo Lice.
07:32So, Joe Lice is the only one we know there, potentially.
07:35Oh, that's what he called himself.
07:36He called himself Hugo.
07:37He changed his name.
07:38OK, like, legally?
07:39I think legally.
07:40I think we need another one there.
07:43Next, please.
07:44Next, please.
07:45Oh, that's the universe.
07:46Boss.
07:47Hugo Boss.
07:48Le Boss.
07:49Yes.
07:50Yes.
07:51Do we think?
07:52So, how are we matching all of this?
07:53So, I think the surname person changed their name to The Boss.
07:57OK.
07:57Yeah.
07:57No.
07:58We think these people all changed their names or are known by the first word and then Boss.
08:05That is the right answer.
08:07Very well done.
08:08What would you expect to see a clue for?
08:10The Springsteen.
08:11The Springsteen.
08:12Absolutely right.
08:13These are people who have nicknames or are known by names, including Boss.
08:16That is Lance Armstrong, known as Le Boss.
08:19Joe Lycett, satirically changed his name to Hugo Boss.
08:22Chris Gale, the Batsman, and Bruce Springsteen.
08:24And we've just replaced the Boss part with their actual surname.
08:29Worker Bees, what would you like?
08:31Twisted Flax, please.
08:32Twisted Flax.
08:33What connects these clues?
08:34Here's the first.
08:35John and Sean have both the same name.
08:42Next, please.
08:44I don't know if it's five.
08:46I didn't know he had five.
08:48No, I don't know.
08:50They have the same name.
08:52Next, please.
08:56So, he's a footballer.
08:58He's a French footballer.
08:59They've all got the same name.
09:02Is it the same name?
09:03Sean, let's get the last one.
09:05Next, please.
09:08Yeah.
09:08I feel like this.
09:14The same name?
09:16They don't all have the same name.
09:19So, a bonus chance for you, Benchwarmers?
09:21They all have the same birthday.
09:22They have the same birthday.
09:24John Lennon's son, Sean, was born on his birthday.
09:27Jay Leno claims that all his girlfriends and serious partners
09:30were born on the 5th of September or near it.
09:32And apparently, when he met his wife, Mavis,
09:35his flirtatious opening question was,
09:37when's your birthday?
09:38And she said, the 5th of September.
09:39And he burst out laughing.
09:40Who is Antoine Griezmann?
09:42French footballer.
09:43Yeah, this was the one we knew.
09:44Yeah.
09:45He's got three children all born different years,
09:48but with the same birthday.
09:49And UK race sources are all considered to have been born
09:53on the 1st of January for racing purposes.
09:55So, well done.
09:56You get that bonus.
09:57And the last question of the Round the Horned Viper,
09:59what is the connection between these picture clues?
10:03Here's the first.
10:03Next, please.
10:16Next, please.
10:18So, generic sort of champagne in a bottle.
10:21Chapel.
10:22It's interesting to say chapel in a champagne.
10:25Corked glasses, reception.
10:29Next, please.
10:31Bay.
10:31Bay.
10:33Brown.
10:34Chapel.
10:34Rose, sports editor.
10:36Do we know any other people?
10:38Next, please.
10:42Two seconds.
10:44Oh, your time's run out.
10:46Oh, dear.
10:47So, a bonus chance for you now at Worker B's?
10:49We think they're all colours of horses.
10:52Funnily enough, we were just talking about horses,
10:54and here they are.
10:55Yes, indeed.
10:56What are we looking at?
10:57Chapel, Rhone.
10:58Mm-hmm.
10:59Champagne, bay,
11:00and chestnut.
11:02Exactly so.
11:03Well done.
11:04Is that what you'd have said if the time hadn't run out?
11:06No.
11:06I don't think so.
11:08Have any of you ever ridden a horse?
11:10Nope.
11:10Maybe when I was about five.
11:12And have you ever seen a camel?
11:16No.
11:16Never, actually.
11:17Have you ever seen one?
11:18I've ridden a camel.
11:19Yeah, I've ridden a camel.
11:20Stop it!
11:20Stop it!
11:22You didn't mention that when I said, have you ridden a horse?
11:24No.
11:24I don't really believe that camels exist.
11:29I've seen pictures of them.
11:31It's the weirdest thing.
11:33Did it have, like, two humps so you go between them, or one?
11:38I can't remember now.
11:39Do you think this is true?
11:41I don't believe it.
11:42No.
11:42No.
11:43It must have been a fever dream.
11:45You get the bonus point.
11:47Well done.
11:47That means, at the end of round one, the worker bees have two points,
11:51the benchwarmers have six.
11:55On to the sequence's round, and worker bees will be going first again.
11:58What would you like?
11:59Can we have the twisted flax, please?
12:01Yes, you can.
12:02What would come fourth in this sequence?
12:04Here's the first.
12:13Next, please.
12:17If you go, where shall I go?
12:19Are these going to be, like, literal translations of some lyrics?
12:32How would that make a sequence?
12:37If you go, where shall I go?
12:39What shall I do?
12:40Oh, we're running out of time.
12:41I know, we are running out of time.
12:43Two seconds.
12:45I love you.
12:49But I do need an answer to the question.
12:52Oh, that was it.
12:52No, not the answer, I'm afraid.
12:54Benchwarmers, a bonus chance?
12:55Don't know, Sammy.
12:56Try.
12:56That's not my problem.
12:59I mean, I can't give you the points, but that's not my problem is absolutely the answer.
13:04The little ellipsis at the beginning of clue three is because we've taken something out,
13:09so we didn't want it to be too easy.
13:11The missed out words are, Rhett, Rhett, Rhett, Rhett.
13:17Oh, my word, you're looking at me blankly.
13:19If you go, where shall I go?
13:21What shall I do?
13:23And he says, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
13:27That's not my problem.
13:29That's not my problem.
13:30But if you don't mind my saying, rather more beautifully put.
13:34The film, of course, gone with the wind.
13:37So no points there.
13:38Benchwarmers, what would you like?
13:39Two reads, please.
13:40Two reads.
13:41What will come forth in this sequence?
13:43Here's the first.
13:43Thailand, minus four.
13:46So it's Bangkok's the capital.
13:47Three lines of constitute longer.
13:49Hours away.
13:50Yes, hours is a good idea.
13:53Flag, red blood.
13:54Next, please.
13:55Malaysia, minus three.
13:57So what way are we moving geographically here?
13:59They're next to each other.
14:01Moving maybe slightly downwards.
14:02It could be about borders.
14:03Can we have borders and something like that?
14:04Next, please.
14:07Zalifakia, minus two.
14:09So we're looking for minus one, of course.
14:10If you change two of those, do you get...
14:13Thai, Thai, Malay, Slovak.
14:15It's the word for the person.
14:18You need to remove one away.
14:20Afghani is Afghan.
14:22Oh, no, it's gone with that one.
14:23One second.
14:24An example of, yeah.
14:26We want a country where if you take off the last letter,
14:29it's the name of a demonym for someone from the country.
14:34For example?
14:35Germany, minus one.
14:36I will give you the points for Germany, minus one.
14:41That's absolutely right.
14:41We're thinking more of the languages, really.
14:43I'm not sure you'd quite say a Thai, would you,
14:47unless you were phoning that in from 1971.
14:50But we're really looking for the languages.
14:53If you take off four letters from Thailand,
14:55you get Thai, three for Malay, two for Slovak,
14:58and we need any country where its language would involve
15:01taking one letter off the country name.
15:04Workerbees, what would you like?
15:05Lion, please.
15:07Lion.
15:08These are picture clues.
15:08What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
15:10Here's the first.
15:12You say bold.
15:14OK.
15:14100 metres.
15:16How many times do you want?
15:18OK.
15:18Next, please.
15:20That's bankable.
15:22Is it number times?
15:22She's 400.
15:23She's 400.
15:24If we times the distance.
15:26So it's 200.
15:27400.
15:28So it's endless.
15:29A call.
15:30I'm not sure what the sequence is going to be.
15:32Do you want to get the next second?
15:34Next, please.
15:34It says Portuguese water dog.
15:39It's not that.
15:40It says just a little bit of a picture.
15:42Boron.
15:45The chemical element boron.
15:48And why would that be?
15:49Because bolt,
15:51bol,
15:52bow,
15:53B.
15:54Exactly so.
15:54We've actually got a picture of Cardi B,
15:56but anything representing B would work.
15:58Who are we looking at in the first two clues?
16:00Usain Bolt and Femke Bol.
16:03That's right.
16:03And in a wonderful tribute to those athletes,
16:05we move on to Barack Obama's dog,
16:07Bo,
16:08taking off a letter each time towards B.
16:12Benchwarmers,
16:13what would you like?
16:13Let's have water, please.
16:15Water.
16:16And what would come forth in this sequence?
16:18Here's the first.
16:18HD,
16:20high definition.
16:22Have we got anything else?
16:23No.
16:24Not from that?
16:25No.
16:26Unless it's evolutions,
16:27you've got then Ultra HD,
16:294K,
16:29that sort of thing.
16:30Next, please.
16:31Full HD.
16:32Could it be Ultra HD in 4K?
16:34Do you want to?
16:35Do you think we might need another one?
16:36Is that all the iterations of it?
16:37Is there 3D in there, maybe?
16:39I doubt it.
16:40I don't mind it.
16:41I'd be tempted for another one.
16:43I'd be tempted for another one.
16:44I want UHD next.
16:46Next, please.
16:47Maybe it's UHD, yeah.
16:52We've not got anything else, have we?
16:53We've been talking about this too much.
16:56UHD.
16:57Is the right answer.
16:59And let's not have a long chat about this,
17:01which is certainly the most boring question of the match,
17:03but it is to do with HD,
17:05high definition,
17:06and we're getting more and more defined.
17:09Worker Bees, what's next?
17:10Eye of Horus, please.
17:11Eye of Horus.
17:12What would come forth in this sequence?
17:14Here's the first.
17:15Is it like Endings of Towns?
17:18Yeah.
17:20It's past a circuit in Belgium.
17:21Yeah.
17:22Next, please.
17:25It's got to be...
17:26Where's it the most?
17:27Is it turns?
17:28Is it out of where it's been used the most?
17:30Are we going to need to go next?
17:32Next, please.
17:34It's coming.
17:35Yes.
17:35Is it...
17:36Is it...
17:36What's the line?
17:37No, a bad ring.
17:39So, do you think it's still going to use?
17:40I don't know if it's going to...
17:41I don't know if it's going to be turns
17:43or, like, numbers of races or something?
17:45No.
17:45I think it's going to be Schickman's part of London.
17:47They'll be released.
17:48Monza?
17:49Schickman's, yeah.
17:50Yeah.
17:51Yeah, and they're going to be...
17:52I don't know if it's going to be...
17:52First, Monza.
17:57Is the right answer.
17:59Just as I was saying,
18:00that was the most boring question.
18:02How the gods laugh at something about Formula One.
18:05What is the sequence?
18:07It's Grand Prix circuits.
18:08We don't know if it's, like,
18:09most turns or corners or most used.
18:12Most used.
18:12Most frequent host circuits,
18:14starting with the one known as Spa
18:16and building towards Monza.
18:18One question remains.
18:20That is the Horned Viper.
18:21What will come fourth in this sequence?
18:23Here's the first.
18:25Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
18:2625 months.
18:28Is this going to be...
18:28Is this going to be Liz Truss?
18:31Potentially.
18:32Was she ever that?
18:33I don't know, but I'm sticking with it.
18:34Next, please.
18:36International Trade Secretary.
18:38I wonder if this is the tennis...
18:40Is this most ten years of the secretaries, but...
18:42Are we going up to 28 months,
18:44or is it the same person?
18:45I'm not sure.
18:45Next, please.
18:47I think this is...
18:48Is this going to be...
18:48How long is Liz Truss?
18:49Yeah, it's about 45 days.
18:51Should we...
18:52I don't know if it is...
18:53Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
18:54What's your Foreign Secretary?
18:55Maybe.
18:55Yeah, I think that's a good shout.
18:57We don't know if it is a Prime Minister.
19:01Prime Minister, about 45 days.
19:06Look at the other clues.
19:08Oh, so how many months?
19:09Two months.
19:10I mean, I'll take it because, on some of the other clues we've rounded up slightly,
19:18it is the progression of Liz Truss towards the Premiership.
19:21I think every quizzer should know the important fact that Liz Truss was Prime Minister for 49 days.
19:27She did resign after 45, but she had to sort of cling on grimly for another four as Prime Minister,
19:33while various bits of admin were done.
19:36And if you round that into months, it would be one and a half.
19:40That is, of course, half of the gestation period of a cheater.
19:44That means at the end of round two, the Workerbees have six points, the Benchwarmers have 12.
19:51We move on to the connecting wall.
19:56And Benchwarmers, it's your choice.
19:58Would you like Lion or Water?
19:59I'll have Water, please.
20:01Water, two and a half minutes.
20:03Starting now.
20:04I'll have a little bit of pop culture.
20:09So, Joan, Joan Collins.
20:12Joan Rivers.
20:14Shall I try a few others?
20:17Rivers might be all the Rivers and Collins.
20:19Yeah, good shout.
20:20Keep looking what they could be otherwise.
20:22I'm just going.
20:24Yeah.
20:25Bakewell Tart, Manchester Tart, Jam Tart.
20:28Lovely.
20:29Drink the Tart, OK.
20:30Thank you there.
20:31Yeah, best I could do those.
20:32Ice Cream Co.
20:34Bradford and Bingley.
20:37Oh, so that's probably places in Lancashire then, right?
20:40Manchester and Bingley.
20:42Yeah, Benchwarmers in somewhere else.
20:44Let's keep looking.
20:45So, we've got Jet Double T.
20:50Lonely Island.
20:56What's that, I think?
20:58We want to do more, Joan.
20:59What about Sutherland, is it?
20:59Um...
21:00What about Sutherland, is that...?
21:05Are these...?
21:06What about Manchester being Lee Sutherland?
21:08They all sound like places.
21:09And...
21:10Gardner.
21:12Um...
21:13Let's have a look.
21:14Colin's also Dictionary.
21:16The Jam.
21:18Yeah, the Tarts.
21:19Gypsy Tart, maybe.
21:20Um...
21:20We've got a minute.
21:22OK.
21:22OK.
21:22Shall we go back to Jones?
21:24Um...
21:25Huh?
21:26We've tried pretty much all of them with these three.
21:27Yeah, OK.
21:28Um...
21:29Um...
21:30Er...
21:31Flo, um...
21:33What else?
21:35We've got...
21:35...Rivers...
21:36Um...
21:38Um...
21:40Um...
21:41Pop culture...
21:46Yeah, we'll just keep going on that.
21:52Um...
21:53Gardner.
21:54Have you tried that as a Joe?
21:55I'm guessing so, yeah.
21:56OK, nice.
21:57See you.
21:58And then...
21:59Um...
22:01Possibly Dingley Tart.
22:02Yeah, it doesn't matter.
22:05Um...
22:06Let's keep thinking.
22:07Because we don't think of Jones or Tarts,
22:10so Gardner, probably De Boer, and Gypsy.
22:14Just a few seconds.
22:16Yeah, it's a simple...
22:17I'll keep you up and a go.
22:18I think so we've got...
22:19That's it.
22:20The time is up, I'm afraid.
22:22But you found a group.
22:23What connects Jam, Island, Flo and Cone?
22:25We'll say they're Tarts.
22:27They are not Tarts.
22:29You can put traffic before all of them.
22:31Traffic Jam, Traffic Island, Traffic Flo, Traffic Cone.
22:34And you can still get points for the connections
22:36in the groups you didn't find.
22:37So let's resolve the wall.
22:39Tell me about that green group.
22:41Collins, Bingley, and so on.
22:43Are they dictionaries or reference books?
22:45Not it.
22:46They are characters in Pride and Prejudice.
22:50And the next group, Sutherland, Jet, and so on.
22:53OK, we think these might be Jones.
22:54Those are the Jones.
22:56Jones Sutherland, the opera singer.
22:58Joan Bakewell, of course, you didn't find till late.
23:00Lovely Joan Bakewell.
23:02And the last group, Treacle, Pop, Manchester and Gypsy.
23:04Please tell me they're Tarts.
23:06They are the Tarts.
23:07It's a Gypsy Tart, sort of dark, treacle Tart.
23:10OK.
23:11A tricky one, but you found one group and you gave me two connections.
23:14It's not none.
23:14It's a total of three points.
23:16Let's bring in their opponents, give them the other wall,
23:18and see what happens.
23:20Lion wool for you, worker bees.
23:21It's two and a half minutes, starting now.
23:26We've got parts of a bed, like bolster sheet, quilt, base.
23:31Valence as well.
23:32Valence, right, OK.
23:33So there's Holly, will it be Holly, valence.
23:36Holly, where's Hunter?
23:37There.
23:38OK, so there must be other Hollies, other bits of bits.
23:41Steel sounds like the metal.
23:44It does.
23:45Scrap metal, sheet metal.
23:47Base metal, could be that.
23:50Yeah, base metal.
23:51Is anything else a metal?
23:52Black metal.
23:53Or sham?
23:53Thrash metal.
23:54Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
23:56Yes, right, OK, so then what else have we got?
23:58I'll go through the...
23:58So we've got...
23:59You have a sham on a bed, don't you, and a blanket and a...
24:02A valence?
24:02A valence.
24:03Although we think that's a good holiday.
24:05There's a quilt there as well.
24:06I'll cycle through.
24:07Oh, right, OK, so then we've got the Hollies.
24:09Holly Hunter, Holly Valence, Holly Willow.
24:12Is Holly Walsh a person?
24:13Yeah, she's a comedian.
24:14So a dashwood, steel, black metal.
24:16Dashwood and Willoughby are both in Jane Austen.
24:20Yeah, so are there any?
24:21I think Farrah's in as well, so I think we've got Hollies and Jane Austen.
24:25So that's like a red heaven for the Hollies?
24:27Yeah.
24:27So what we're left with are the Hollies and so Walsh...
24:29Holly black or Holly steel?
24:31Don't know.
24:32I think steel feels like Jane Austen.
24:34Jane Austen, shall I go for it?
24:35Yeah, do it.
24:36You've solved the wall.
24:37Oh, oh, very well done.
24:40What about the connections?
24:41Tell me about the first group, sheet, scrap and so on.
24:44They can all be followed by metal.
24:45Yes, they can.
24:47Second group, blanket, bolster, sham and quilt.
24:50Parts of, like, bed linen.
24:52They are types of bedding.
24:54And the next group, ferrers, steel and so on.
24:57Jane Austen characters.
24:59They are.
25:00I'd love to hear something specific.
25:02They're from Sense and Sensibility.
25:03They are all from Sense and Sensibility.
25:06And the next group, Hunter, Valence, Walsh and Black.
25:09Hollies.
25:10They are Hollies.
25:11So, that's all the connections as well.
25:13And the bonus is a total of ten points.
25:16Let's have a look at the overall scores.
25:20The Workerbees have 16 points.
25:22The Benchformers have 15.
25:24So, those scores have suddenly come a lot closer
25:28and the place in the quarterfinals will be decided
25:31in the Missing Vowels round.
25:33Fingers on buzzers, teams.
25:35I can tell you that the first group of disguise clues
25:38were all invented in Glasgow.
25:44Workerbees?
25:45McIntosh.
25:46It was.
25:51Workerbees?
25:51Antiseptic.
25:52Correct.
26:00Benchwarmers?
26:00Medical ultrasound.
26:02Another Scottish invention.
26:07Benchwarmers?
26:07Chicken tikka masala.
26:09So, they say.
26:10Next category, 17th century artworks.
26:16Workerbees?
26:17The Nightwatch.
26:18Correct.
26:18Correct.
26:18The Nightwatch.
26:21Workerbees?
26:23The Rokeby Venus.
26:24Yes.
26:29Benchwarmers?
26:30The Crossing of the Roads.
26:32Not a 17th century artwork, I'm afraid.
26:34Workerbees, do you know?
26:35The Crossing of the...
26:37No too long.
26:39The Crossing of the Red Sea.
26:40Poussin.
26:41Next clue.
26:46Benchwarmers?
26:47The Laughing Cavalier.
26:48Correct.
26:49Next category.
26:50Three consecutive chemical elements.
26:56Benchwarmers?
26:56Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen.
26:58Yes, it is.
27:02Benchwarmers?
27:02Helium, lithium, beryllium.
27:04Yes, it is.
27:05No time to shout manganese iron cobalt, as I know you were at home, because the bell has
27:17gone for the end of the quiz.
27:19And in an unexpectedly close, tight competition, I can tell you that the winners, by one point,
27:30finishing on 20, are the Workerbees.
27:33Benchwarmers, you've got 19.
27:35Well done, guys.
27:37So unlucky.
27:39You were leading all the way, but then they had a phenomenal wall.
27:41You were great on the missing vows, you were too, but it is the Workerbees who have made
27:46it to the quarterfinals.
27:48Benchwarmers, I'm very sorry.
27:50We have to say goodbye.
27:51Thanks so much for playing.
27:53What about a little bit of palate cleansing paradise lost?
27:57We were up to the ever-burning sulphur, the place that eternal justice had prepared
28:02for those rebellious.
28:04Here, their prison ordained in utter darkness, and their portion set as far removed from God
28:10and light of heaven, as from the centre, thrice to the utmost pole.
28:14Oh, how unlike the place from whence they fell.
28:19Good night.
28:40Good night.
28:48Good night.
29:03Good night.
29:03Good night.
