00:00MUSIC
00:16Good evening.
00:18Queen Victoria once said,
00:19we are not interested in the possibilities of defeat.
00:22It does not exist.
00:24Queen Victoria would have loved Only Connect,
00:27and like many of our viewers,
00:28she would not have found these intros amusing.
00:31Joining me for this quarterfinal,
00:33on my right,
00:35Alexia Jarvis,
00:36who had her first cheese sandwich aged 30.
00:39Jonathan Gibson,
00:41who can play sweet child of mine on the ukulele.
00:44And their captain, Paddy Pamant,
00:46who has archived a hundred Charlton Athletic away match ticket stubs.
00:50United by high balls and curve balls, they are the pitchers.
00:54Paddy, if I said,
00:56surprise, we've changed the format.
00:59From the quarterfinals on,
01:00this is not a quiz but a talent contest.
01:02What would you do?
01:03Oh, my word.
01:04Erm...
01:05I have one thing in the back pocket,
01:07and that's a Michael McIntyre impression.
01:09Either that or piano.
01:12Well, we don't have a piano here.
01:14So, if you were Michael McIntyre,
01:17and I asked if you were looking forward to tonight's show,
01:20you would say...
01:21Well, this is my favourite quiz show of them all, Victoria.
01:24Thank you so much for having me, darling.
01:26Hello, hello, hello.
01:28That's really good.
01:30That's a really good impression.
01:33Very well done.
01:34Well, the stakes are going to be high for your opponents,
01:36who are on my left.
01:39Raphael Carbo, who built his own lightsaber.
01:42Carolina Cordero, who dropped a clipboard into a hundred-year-old church organ.
01:47And their captain, Emily Burke,
01:49who failed to recognise Leonard Cohen in a Chinese restaurant.
01:52Combined by conquering quests and characters,
01:55they are the sorcerers.
01:57Now, what about you, Emily?
01:58If this was suddenly...
01:59I'm not going to make you do an impression,
02:00but if this was suddenly Britain's Got Talent,
02:02what would you pull out of the bag?
02:03Bassoon?
02:04I think it would be, yeah, either bassoon or singing.
02:07What's your party piece?
02:08What would you play?
02:09It's not interesting.
02:10There is a lovely Telemann Sonata in F minor.
02:12That absolutely is interesting.
02:14Some of our viewers are intellectuals, you know.
02:17Not you, obviously, but some people.
02:20Lovely.
02:21Nevertheless, we have not changed the format.
02:23We are going to play a quiz.
02:25Pitchers, you won the toss.
02:27You'll be going first.
02:28Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
02:30Eye of Horus, please.
02:32Eye of Horus will be the first question of the game.
02:34What do these clues have in common?
02:36Here's the first.
02:38I'm going to play some drink placement.
02:40Could be something in a pitch, could be in an album.
02:42Could be the same thing.
02:43Oh, yeah.
02:44OK.
02:45We'll need more.
02:46Next, please.
02:47Directions.
02:48North or south?
02:49Polar or non-polar?
02:50Polar or non-polar, but then boss the bread and drink.
02:52We need more, right?
02:53Yeah, I'm not sure.
02:54Probably.
02:55Next, please.
02:56Nine times.
02:57Oh, it's what you do with your fingers.
02:58They're reversed.
02:59Are you sure you do it with your fingers?
03:00Oh, yeah.
03:01I mean, they're reversed, yeah.
03:02They're reversed, like, cos it's like 54, 45, 36, 63.
03:04Oh, OK.
03:05Do we want the last, though?
03:06No, I think so.
03:07Because I can't articulate it.
03:08Next, please.
03:09Opposites.
03:10Opposites.
03:11Shall we say opposites?
03:12Yeah, like...
03:13Two seconds.
03:14These are opposites or mirrored images.
03:19I think that might apply to some of them, but not all of the clues, so that's not it.
03:24Sorcerers, you've got the chance of a bonus point.
03:26There are hand rules for remembering these things.
03:29They all feature a mnemonics involving the hands.
03:32What clues can you tell me about?
03:33So, there's, I think, a right-hand rule for directions of electromagnetic forces.
03:37Yes, that one's quite complicated to explain.
03:39You get an L with your left hand, so that's how you know it's your left.
03:42Left and right, like this.
03:44And I don't know the other two.
03:45The nine times table, you do your...
03:47I've forgotten how you do it, but you do the entire nine times tables on your fingers.
03:50You can.
03:51So, what you do, starting on the left, and viewers, well, I'm not good with left and right,
03:56but this is my left.
03:57You bend down the finger, you want to multiply by nine.
04:00So, for example, four.
04:01One, two, three, four.
04:02You bend that down.
04:03And on one side, you've got the tens and the other side, the digits.
04:07So, one, two, three, thirty.
04:09One, two, three, four, five, six, thirty-six is four times nine.
04:12Oh, I love that.
04:13And the bread and drink, you do that, and one is B and one is D.
04:17Oh!
04:18Laying the table suddenly got a lot easier, you know?
04:20Assuming we all do formal dining.
04:22So, you get the bonus point, and what will your own question be?
04:25Twisted flax, please.
04:26Twisted flax.
04:27A music question.
04:29What do they have in common?
04:30Here's the first.
04:31I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake City about two years ago.
04:35And he told me he was single, and we hit it off right away.
04:39So, we started living together.
04:40Okay, next.
04:48Next.
04:49I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint.
04:54I'm number one.
04:57But my score with the beller is lower than a seller.
05:01So, come out tomorrow, so you gotta hang on till tomorrow.
05:10Are these musicals or songs with women's names in the title?
05:14They are not.
05:16So, bonus chance for you now, pitchers.
05:18All sung by Annies.
05:20They are all sung by Annies.
05:22That last one, the musical Annie.
05:24What was the third one?
05:25It was Annie Get Your Gun.
05:27That's right.
05:28I think that must have been Doris Day singing that.
05:30Chicago, clue one.
05:32And that's Annie who poisoned her husband.
05:35And clue two, that's not a musical at all.
05:38That's, in fact, the singer Annie with a single called Chewing Gum.
05:43What would you like to pitch us for your own question?
05:45Two reeds.
05:46Two reeds.
05:47What connects these clues?
05:48Here's the first.
05:51It's a type of cryptogram, isn't it? Rebus.
05:53Yeah.
05:54Learning skills.
05:55Rebus is also a detective.
05:56That's true.
05:57That's true.
05:58Next, please.
05:59Resbus.
06:02Sub...
06:03Sub...
06:04Sub...
06:05Going backwards.
06:06No, we need more to puzzle out there.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Next, please.
06:11Do we need to replace bus with something?
06:12Reserve.
06:13Erve.
06:14Pull back.
06:15Relearn.
06:16Reserve.
06:17Erve.
06:18Oh, is it train?
06:19Change bus to train.
06:20Retrain.
06:21Restrain.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Bus to train.
06:24Very good.
06:25Oh, I see.
06:26Change bus to train.
06:27And you get these words and their definitions.
06:30Exactly so.
06:31It's a train replacement bus service.
06:36Please talk me through the clues.
06:37What would those words be?
06:38Retrain to learn new skills, clue one.
06:40We have restrain to hold back.
06:43Contraindication.
06:44That's clever, isn't it?
06:45Contraindication.
06:46And you didn't need to see untrained, not having been taught particular skills.
06:51Well done.
06:52Sorcerers, what's next?
06:53Water, please.
06:54Water.
06:55These are going to be picture clues.
06:56What do they have in common?
06:57Here's the first.
06:58Okay, it's like a sharpie.
06:59Serious.
07:00I don't know anything.
07:01That's the last.
07:02Next.
07:03Is that the powers that are tied to the ball?
07:04What is it like?
07:05A tab.
07:06That's the tab.
07:07The tab is over.
07:08Next.
07:09That's the edge.
07:10Yeah, the edge.
07:11What's his name?
07:12A pledge.
07:13Next.
07:14That's the... That's... That's the age.
07:17Yeah, age. What's his name?
07:19Pledge. Pledge.
07:22Next.
07:32Two seconds.
07:34Keys on a keyboard.
07:36Not it.
07:37Pictures, another bonus chance.
07:39Are these all lines?
07:40I'm afraid not.
07:42That first clue, it's a still from a TV programme called Collision.
07:46Oh!
07:47We've got Collision, Powerball, The Edge, of course, and Gauntlet.
07:51They are games on Gladiators.
07:54Oh!
07:55It's the reincarnated Gladiators show.
07:57Yeah.
07:58Pictures, there's one choice left.
08:00What will it be?
08:01The Lion, please, Victoria.
08:03Lion.
08:04What do these clues have in common?
08:05Here's the first.
08:07Turkey.
08:08Sorry.
08:09Vienna.
08:10Yeah.
08:11He's the captain.
08:12Moon drum.
08:13OK.
08:14Let's go.
08:15Queen of Africa.
08:16OK.
08:17Next, please.
08:18Nigerian side.
08:19Greens, green something.
08:20OK.
08:21Oh, is it penguin?
08:22It is like the penguin...
08:23Oh, the penguin colour thing.
08:24Yeah.
08:25African penguin, little penguin.
08:26Those are both like...
08:27So these are penguins.
08:28Yeah.
08:29You can bail me out if I get it wrong, mate.
08:31Penguins.
08:32Um, insofar as African penguin, little penguin, and these are the colour schemes for penguin
08:38books with those genres.
08:39That is exactly right.
08:40And well done.
08:41You get three points for coming in after two clues.
08:44So that first series of penguin books released, it was originally, I think they were black
08:49and white, but they had a colour block to show genre.
08:52We are combining actual penguins with penguin books.
08:56Sorcerers.
08:57One question left the horned viper.
08:59What do these clues have in common?
09:00Here's the first.
09:01Next.
09:02Next.
09:03Next.
09:04Next.
09:05Next.
09:06Next.
09:07Next.
09:08Next.
09:09Next.
09:10Next.
09:11Next.
09:12This is the end to a milo.
09:14I can't remember to meet each other.
09:16Venus of Milo.
09:18Yeah, this is the end of the day.
09:20Next.
09:21That's a damn got you on a neocard.
09:24Interesting.
09:26It's a little too much.
09:27Uh, another virtual bed of the normal.
09:29Next.
09:31Oh, that's, um, the old gym.
09:34That's a different one.
09:34Are they, are they, are they off me?
09:37Two seconds.
09:40Related by eggs.
09:41They are connected by eggs.
09:43What can you tell me about the clues?
09:45Love could be zero as in an egg.
09:48That's right.
09:48People say that love in tennis comes from luff.
09:52We don't know that.
09:54One of the theories is that it's luff,
09:56but also, of course, that the zero resembles an egg.
09:59What's that second clue?
10:01I don't know, I think.
10:02I mean, ovaltine's an oval.
10:03Well, but it's ovaltine because of the ovo,
10:07the Latin for egg,
10:08combined with malt and the other ingredients.
10:10What's the virtual pet?
10:12Tamagotchi.
10:12Tamagotchi.
10:13And tamago is the Japanese for egg,
10:15and it originally meant egg watch,
10:17because it was a watch,
10:18and the Arnie Jakobsen chair,
10:20of course, the egg chair.
10:22Well done.
10:23That means at the end of round one,
10:25the sorceress have two points,
10:27the pitchers have six.
10:31Sequences round,
10:32pitchers, you'll be going first.
10:34Please choose a hieroglyph.
10:35Alexia.
10:35Let's go for the lion, please.
10:37Lion.
10:38You'll be seeing the first in a series of clues.
10:40What would come fourth?
10:41Here's the first.
10:43What colour is that?
10:44Square brackets.
10:45Oh, the Monopoly board.
10:46Monopoly board is yellow,
10:47so it's yellow,
10:48but then you're going on.
10:49We need more, though.
10:49Next, please.
10:512 Street.
10:52So, is it going to...
10:53Is it the four cities on the Monopoly board?
10:55Like, there are four cities mentioned?
10:56And you want to go by...
10:57Oxford and...
10:58Is Liverpool the biggest?
11:01Probably.
11:02Let's go for a no.
11:02I think we should go with the last one.
11:03Next, please.
11:05Yeah, so it must be Liverpool.
11:06Liverpool, open brackets.
11:07Street station.
11:08Street station.
11:08Street station.
11:09Yeah?
11:10Are we happy with that?
11:11Yes.
11:11Happy, Abby?
11:12Great.
11:13Liverpool, open brackets,
11:15street station, close brackets.
11:17Correct, down to the last punctuation point.
11:20Very well done.
11:21What is this sequence?
11:22These are the cities mentioned by name
11:24on the standard version of Monopoly in the UK.
11:28In ascending order of population, we imagine.
11:31Actually, no.
11:32It's just the order as you go round the board.
11:34Yes.
11:34Do you have a favourite set?
11:36Orange.
11:36That's statistically the best.
11:38Really?
11:38Absolutely.
11:39I didn't know this.
11:40Also, you build four houses.
11:41Look at those quizzes all nodding.
11:42Oh, yeah, Orange.
11:43What, you moron?
11:44You're trying to get Mayfair and Park Lane.
11:46Why would the orange be statistically better?
11:49Because when you put someone in jail,
11:52they're most likely to land on those
11:54through the combination of the dice rolls.
11:56Yeah, I mean, I don't know
11:57if you're really getting the joy out of it.
11:58It's not really a joyous game anyway, is it?
12:01It's just a game to go on.
12:02And it's sort of fun for the first 20 minutes
12:05and then you go, are we still playing?
12:08And for people that have just tuned in,
12:09I'm not talking about Only Connect.
12:13Sorcerers, what would you like?
12:14Horned Viper, please.
12:15Horned Viper.
12:16What would come fourth in this sequence?
12:18Here's the first.
12:18Next.
12:2219th February.
12:25Yeah, 19th February.
12:2615th.
12:2615th.
12:2615th.
12:2715th.
12:2715th.
12:2715th.
12:2715th.
12:28Maybe.
12:30Next.
12:3210th February.
12:33Oh, I would 10th February.
12:34100th.
12:3510th February.
12:3510th February.
12:3610th February.
12:37No.
12:3810th February.
12:3810th February.
12:39No, it doesn't work.
12:39Next.
12:43Okay, that could still be a date.
12:4530th February.
12:46150.
12:47Do you have time to get any ideas?
12:50No, not yet.
12:51Babe, please.
12:52Just express.
12:54We have 150.
12:56Two seconds.
12:58Um, 29 slash 8 equals 200.
13:03I'm afraid not.
13:04Pitchers, a bonus chance.
13:0618 slash 7 equals 200.
13:08Unlucky.
13:09Oh, no.
13:09It's 19.
13:10Sorry, Alexia.
13:10It's 19.
13:11Oh, should I hit me?
13:12Mm-hmm.
13:12I should hit you.
13:14Alexia, what is this sequence?
13:15That's the 50th, 100th.
13:17150th and the 200th day of the year.
13:19That's right.
13:20The 19th of February is 50 days into the year, and we're going 50 days forward each time.
13:26And the 19th of July will be the 200th day.
13:29I did the maths late.
13:31Unlucky.
13:32Well, I tell you what, Alexia, why don't we let you choose the next question?
13:35Thank you very much.
13:37I'll go for the Eye of Horus, please.
13:39Eye of Horus.
13:40What will come fourth of this sequence?
13:42Here's the first.
13:44Do you recognize that?
13:45I don't.
13:46Do you have a little bit?
13:47Could be Star Wars.
13:48Sounds kind of Czech, maybe?
13:50I'm thinking maybe it's South African.
13:52Next, please.
13:54Oh, that's a thing.
13:55That's a horse.
13:56But, I mean, the first one isn't.
13:58We need more.
13:58Yeah, we do.
13:59Next, please.
14:01Oh, that's four birds.
14:03Yeah, three birds.
14:03So, is it five, four, three, two?
14:04We need two, what's a two bird food thing?
14:07Yeah.
14:08You could just say, like, a...
14:09Um, chicken and beef burger.
14:13No, the bacon beef, bacon cheeseburger we had last night.
14:17Oh, yeah.
14:18Two seconds.
14:20Uh, two, bacon cheeseburger.
14:23Not it, I'm afraid.
14:25Sorcerers, you've got the chance of a bonus point.
14:27Two, chicken stuffed with duck.
14:29That wouldn't work either.
14:30So, you are clearly familiar with that hideous-sounding dish
14:36at clue three.
14:37I mean, turkey, duck and chicken,
14:40described in a word that I think could make vegetarians of us all,
14:43but the others aren't food.
14:46Uh-huh.
14:46It's about portmanteau words.
14:49Oh, OK.
14:50So, turducken is made of the words of the three birds,
14:53but that first one, it's a nickname for an area of Jakarta.
14:58It combines Jakarta, Bogor, Deepak, Tangerang and Bekazi.
15:03All of the names become Jaboditabek.
15:06Mm.
15:07Four, that's the great racehorse Aldeniti.
15:10Yeah.
15:11And the breeder, Tommy Barron, named it after his four grandchildren.
15:15That was four names,
15:16and so we wanted something that was two words put together.
15:19For example, Brexit.
15:22Sorcerers, what would you like?
15:23Twisted Flax, please.
15:24Twisted Flax.
15:25What would come fourth in this sequence?
15:27Here's the first.
15:28Next.
15:40Next.
15:43Hong Kong is a space station, Chinese space station.
15:45OK, so these are not as...
15:47Okay, so distance.
15:49Distance from Earth is nice.
15:53Distance from Earth is quite nice.
15:54But then...
15:55Next.
15:56Two seconds.
16:07The James Webb Telescope.
16:08Not the answer, I'm afraid.
16:10Oh, no.
16:11Pictures, do you want to go for a bonus point?
16:12Well, I mean, maybe mere, then?
16:14Mere.
16:15Let's go with mere.
16:16Not it.
16:16Ah!
16:17This is objects orbiting Earth in order of heaviness.
16:23So the Hubble Space Telescope, then the Chinese Space Station, then the International Space Station.
16:29It's just the moon.
16:31The moon is the heaviest thing.
16:33Now, why do you think we've got the words, or possibly classified?
16:37Spy telescopes, spy satellites?
16:39I don't know how heavy they are.
16:40Well, there's almost certainly something that's heavier than the Hubble Space Telescope, but less heavy than the Chinese Space Station floating around up there.
16:47But officially, there are not.
16:51What would you like next?
16:52Uh, water, please.
16:54Water.
16:54And what would come forth in this sequence is the first.
16:57I don't know any of these references, do you?
17:01Well, Banana Man's like a comic, a DC Tolkien comic, I think.
17:04Well, there's probably an address where you live.
17:06Next, please.
17:09Oh, so that's Native, Ramsey Street is where a lot of Native people live.
17:11Do they all live on, like, numbers?
17:13Are the numbers going up to something?
17:15I don't know what any of the numbers are.
17:17Who lives at number 64 or something?
17:18Let's go with.
17:19Next, please.
17:21I don't know what number they live in.
17:23I don't know.
17:23Is it used to be number one?
17:25It could be Harry Potter and Pivot Drive.
17:27That's one, two, three, four.
17:29Let's give that a go.
17:29That's lovely.
17:30Yeah, OK.
17:31I'm all right.
17:31Happy.
17:33The Dursleys and Harry Potter in the Harry Potter series, open brackets,
17:38Pivot Drive, close brackets.
17:39Not it, I'm afraid.
17:41So, bonus chance, few sorcerers.
17:43The Simpsons in The Simpsons, Evergreen Terrace.
17:46I'm afraid that's not it, Hayda.
17:49You have calculated that there are house numbers in these works.
17:55So, Banana Man.
17:56This is 29 Acacia Road.
17:59And this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double life.
18:02For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs.
18:05Eric is...
18:06Well, I think it's been given away, hasn't it?
18:08Eating of the banana.
18:0929.
18:11The House of Trouser is number 30 Ramsey Street.
18:15Family Guy, they live at 31 Spooner Street,
18:17so we need an example of 32 of a street.
18:21For example, the Browns in Paddington.
18:23They live at number 32, Windsor Gardens.
18:27Sorcerers.
18:27One question remains.
18:28Two reeds.
18:29These are going to be picture clues.
18:30What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
18:33Here's the first.
18:33Next.
18:34Next.
18:35Next.
18:44Next.
18:46Next.
18:48Walk away.
18:50Walk away.
18:51Oh, you've got no one to hold.
18:54No one to fall.
18:54No one to walk away.
18:56Oh, it's getting on.
18:58Okay.
18:58It is.
18:59No one to walk away.
19:01No one to walk away.
19:03No one to walk away.
19:04No one to walk away.
19:08Tuesday.
19:11Someone dealing cards.
19:13Not it, I'm afraid.
19:15Pictures, a bonus chance.
19:16Go on.
19:17Picture of John Major.
19:19It's Kenny Rogers.
19:20Why would it be John Major?
19:22Some sort of A in clue two.
19:24You see, it's not an A.
19:25What's happening at clue two?
19:27Holden, no one to fold them.
19:28No one to walk away.
19:30No one to...
19:30Run.
19:32Run.
19:33So, hold M.
19:34That's the joke.
19:35Know when to hold M.
19:36Know when to fold M.
19:38Know when to walk away.
19:40Know when to run.
19:42That means, at the end of round two,
19:44the sorcerers have two points.
19:45The pitchers have eight.
19:49Well, that was a tough round two,
19:51but I must say,
19:52the connecting walls don't look much fun to me either.
19:55And with those welcoming words,
19:57sorcerers, what dark magic would you like?
19:59Lion or water?
20:00Water, please.
20:01The Water Wall,
20:02two and a half minutes to solve it,
20:04starting now.
20:06Okay, so we're going for the Lordy Tribune.
20:11There's a Dyer, a Lordy,
20:13if we had Sweeney and Figaro.
20:14These are title characters and all those, right?
20:17There's some Figaro and Mons.
20:19There's newspapers.
20:19The Lordy's from...
20:21Yeah, yeah.
20:22Australian, is that the point?
20:23Yeah, maybe.
20:25What were you saying?
20:26Tribune?
20:26There's a new Tribune, Figaro, Mons.
20:28Figaro, Mons.
20:29Red Echoes?
20:30Maybe I might do it.
20:31Newspapers.
20:32I might include Echoes,
20:34although plural is weird.
20:35Do you know any others that are newspapers?
20:37Oh, sorry.
20:38Are there just words for Sundays?
20:39Oh, sometimes.
20:40Domingo, Domenica.
20:41I'm going to...
20:41Domenica?
20:43Yeah.
20:43What's our other one?
20:45Oh, Nidziaia, with the N.
20:48This one?
20:49I think, yeah.
20:50No, okay.
20:50There must be another.
20:51Pizarre, possibly.
20:52I mean, that's actually weird.
20:53That's right.
20:54Oh, okay.
20:55So it might not be...
20:57Oh, but that means it might be a newspaper.
20:59Oh, yes.
21:00Yes, that would be a newspaper in Polish.
21:02Tribune, surely.
21:04Okay, so Echoes.
21:06What is Echoes, other than...
21:09With Luxor, the Water...
21:12So, Zohan is a character of the Adam Sandler, right?
21:16Yeah.
21:16And the other Adam Sandler characters.
21:19Zendaya and Elordi are surely together.
21:22Is this the cast of something?
21:23Try Schaefer.
21:25Yeah, I just don't know.
21:26Schaefer for Tim Schaefer, right, sure.
21:29Yeah.
21:29And then who would you put as the other?
21:31Lodri.
21:32I like some tag.
21:33Lodri, sure.
21:34Uncertain.
21:35This is a good one, yeah.
21:36Yeah, where's Zendaya from?
21:38Lord, in Elordi.
21:41But then...
21:41Zendaya and Elordi, I love...
21:43Um...
21:44I was at all...
21:45Zendaya and Elordi.
21:46Zendaya and Elordi.
21:47Zendaya and Elordi.
21:47Zendaya and Elordi at the beginning.
21:49So, I don't see anything.
21:51I'll just...
21:51I guess if I can borrow these papers and see what I do...
21:54I'll get it.
21:55I'll get it.
21:55I'll get it.
21:55I'll get it.
21:56It's a good one.
21:57It's a good one.
21:58It's a good one.
22:00It's a good one.
22:00It's a good one.
22:01Oh, okay.
22:01Oh, sweet figure.
22:02That's a good one.
22:03It's a sweet figure.
22:04We never did anything with...
22:05No, we didn't.
22:06It's true.
22:06I can only apologise.
22:13But you can get points for the connections, even though you didn't find the groups.
22:16So, let's resolve the wall.
22:17There they are.
22:19Tell me about that first group, starting Monde.
22:22We think newspapers.
22:23Newspapers.
22:23They are all newspapers.
22:24They're French newspapers, in fact.
22:26I mean, there are various tribunes around the world.
22:29And the next group, Figaro, Zohan, Sweeney and Audrey.
22:33Musicals and operas?
22:35Well, they aren't all.
22:37In various works, they are all hairdressers.
22:39Of course.
22:40Yes.
22:41Figaro and the Barber of Seville and Sweeney Todd.
22:45But Audrey is from Coronation Street, and that second clue, don't mess with the Zohan.
22:50Yes.
22:51And the next group, I'm not even going to try to pronounce it, but what is that pink group?
22:55These are Sundays.
22:56Sundays.
22:57They are words for Sunday.
22:58We've got the Polish word there, then.
23:00Zontag is German, Turkish and Italian.
23:03And the last group, Zendaya, Domingo and so on.
23:07They're actors in a specific film, potentially, but...
23:10Well, I'll give it to you for actors, because we often have a group which is just, you know,
23:14directors or something like that, so I'll give it to you.
23:15There is one thing, actually, that they're all in, which is a show called Euphoria.
23:19Ah.
23:20Yeah.
23:21So, you didn't solve the wall, but you did get three points for the connections.
23:25Let's bring in your opponents and give them a horrible wall, and see how they get on.
23:30Welcome, pitchers, and let's see if you feel welcome when you see your wall.
23:34You've got two and a half minutes, starting now.
23:38Yeah.
23:39Allegro.
23:40Allegro.
23:41Baby.
23:42Baby grow.
23:43There's loads of love in there.
23:44Amor.
23:45Oh, yeah.
23:46Lieber.
23:47Amor.
23:48Love.
23:49And...
23:50Yeah.
23:51Oh, sorry.
23:52Lieber, not Lieber.
23:53Um...
23:54Ho, maybe?
23:55That could be Chinese?
23:56You'll be...
23:57Chinese is I.
23:58Oh, okay.
23:59Um...
24:00Tintoretto.
24:01Tintoretto.
24:02Vaporetto.
24:03Anything else?
24:04Libretto.
24:05Libretto.
24:06Okay, so I left out lib, so I'll leave a ammo.
24:08Let's keep it up.
24:09Oh, good.
24:10Um...
24:11Blackbird.
24:12Bye-bye, Blackbird.
24:13Bye-bye, baby.
24:14Bye-bye, bye.
24:15Oh, yes.
24:16Yeah, well done.
24:17Bye-bye, love.
24:18Bye-bye, happiness.
24:19Yeah, of course.
24:20Now we're left.
24:21But look at what we're left with here.
24:22Okay.
24:23Bodega's a shop.
24:24Yes, it is.
24:25Is it just shops?
24:26Well, aflutado, that sort of sounds like a grossest maybe.
24:27Yeah.
24:28Bodega.
24:29Floor might be a flower shop in Spanish.
24:30Floor is a florist.
24:31If it's Spanish shops, then that would mean charcuterie.
24:34Like charcuterie?
24:35Like charcuterie, maybe.
24:36Yeah.
24:37And then the rest is love.
24:38Yeah, I like that.
24:39Hole might be Viet or something.
24:40Hmm.
24:41Yes.
24:42You solved the wall.
24:43I mean, well done indeed.
24:45What about the connections?
24:46Tell me about that first group starting Tinto.
24:48Hyphen R-E-T-T-O, Retto.
24:50So Tintoretto, Vaporetto, Allegretto, Libretto.
24:53Exactly so.
24:54And the green group, Baby, Love and so on.
24:56Songs preceded by Bye-Bye, so Bye-Bye, Baby, Bye-Bye, Love, etc.
25:00Very good.
25:01And the next group, Floor, Afritado and so on.
25:05Vendors in Spanish, like shops.
25:08They are not vendors.
25:10They are Spanish, but they're terms to do with wine.
25:13Oh, OK.
25:14And the last group, Ammo and so on.
25:17Love, yeah.
25:18Love in different languages.
25:20Exactly so.
25:21Ammo in Latin, Lubim, is Slovenian, Lieber, German.
25:25And who is actually Dutch?
25:26Oh.
25:27But you saw the wall and you gave me three connections.
25:29That was a total of seven.
25:31Let's have a look at the scores going into round four.
25:33The Sorcerers have five points.
25:36The Pitchers have 15.
25:40So, a bit of a challenge for you here, Sorcerers.
25:42I have faith in you.

27:34and looking at the final scores.
27:36The winners and through to the semifinals
27:38with 25 points are the pitchers.
27:42Sorcerers, you finished with eight
27:43and my undying gratitude and affection
27:46for not shouting more oaths
27:48during that first missing vowels category.
27:51What a nice team.
27:52It didn't fall your way tonight,
27:54but thank you so very much for playing.
27:57And thank you for watching.
27:58Let's have a little bit of our old friend John Milton.
28:00A little bit of Paradise Lost for the end of the evening.
28:04And we've got to hear.
28:05If thou beest he, but oh, how fallen,
28:08how changed from him who in the happy realms of light,
28:11clothed with transcendent brightness,
28:14didst outshine myriads though bright,
28:16if he who mutual league, united thoughts and councils,
28:20equal hope...
28:22But I think that's enough hell for one night, don't you?
28:24Goodbye.
28:25Goodbye.
28:26good day.
28:28You can't believe I have to be.
28:29You can see you in the happy realm.

28:33across the world.
28:34Here we go.
28:35You could see you again before that.
28:36If you see you in the happy realm.
28:37I think that's enough.
28:38You could see you in the happy realm.
