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.
00:58From the quarterfinals on,
00:59this 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.
01:29That's a really good impression.
01:32Very well done.
01:33Well, the stakes are going to be high for your opponents,
01:35who are on my left.
01:38Raphael Carbo, who built his own lightsaber.
01:41Carolina Cordero, who dropped a clipboard
01:44into a 100-year-old church organ.
01:46And their captain, Emily Burke,
01:48who failed to recognise Leonard Cohen
01:50in a Chinese restaurant.
01:52Combined by conquering quests and characters,
01:54they are the sorcerers.
01:56Now, 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,
02:05either bassoon or singing.
02:07What's your party piece?
02:08What would you play?
02:09It's not interesting.
02:10There is a lovely Telemonsonata 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 who run the toss, you'll be going first.
02:27Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
02:29An 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.
02:38It could be something in a picture,
02:41it could be in an album.
02:42It could be the same thing.
02:43Oh, yeah.
02:44OK.
02:45We'll need more, though.
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.
02:58Are you sure you do it with your fingers?
02:59Oh, yeah.
03:00I mean, the reverse, yeah.
03:01They're reversed, like, cos it's like 54, 45, 36, 63.
03:04Oh, OK.
03:05Do we want the last, though?
03:06Yeah, I think so.
03:07Because I can't articulate it.
03:08Next, please.
03:09Opposites.
03:10Shall we say opposites?
03:12Yeah, like...
03:13Two seconds.
03:16These 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 mnemonics involving the hands.
03:31What 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.
04:12Ooh, 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 Fax.
04:27A music question, what 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.
04:38OK, next.
04:40Next.
04:48Next.
04:49I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint.
04:54I'm number one.
04:56But my score with the beller is lower than a seller.
05:00Next.
05:01This will come out tomorrow, so you've got to hang on till tomorrow.
05:10Are these musicals or songs with women's names in the title?
05:13They are not.
05:15So a bonus chance for you now, pitchers.
05:17All sung by Annies.
05:19They are all sung by Annies.
05:21That last one, the musical Annie.
05:23What was the third one?
05:25It was Annie Get Your Gun.
05:26That's right.
05:27I think that must have been Doris Day singing that.
05:29Chicago at clue one, and that's Annie who poisoned her husband.
05:34And clue two, that's not a musical at all.
05:38That's in fact the singer Annie with a single called Chewing Gum.
05:42What would you like, pitchers, for your own question?
05:45Two reeds.
05:46Two reeds.
05:47What connects these clues?
05:48Here's the first.
05:50It's a type of cryptogram, isn't it?
05:52Rebus.
05:53Yeah.
05:54Learning skills.
05:55Rebus is also a detective.
05:56That's true.
05:57Next, please.
05:58Resbus.
05:59Oh, my God.
06:00Hold back.
06:01Subsurts.
06:02Subsurts.
06:03Subsurts.
06:04Going backwards.
06:05No, we need more to puzzle that out there.
06:07Yeah, yeah.
06:08Next, please.
06:09Do we need to replace bus with something?
06:12Reserve.
06:13ERV.
06:14Hold back.
06:15Relearn.
06:16Reserve.
06:17ERV.
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.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Change bus to train, and you get these words and their definitions.
06:30Exactly so.
06:31It's a train replacement bus service.
06:34Oh!
06:35Please talk me through the clues.
06:37What would those words be?
06:38Retrain, to learn new skills, in clue one.
06:40We have restrain, to hold back.
06:43Contraindication.
06:44That's clever, isn't it?
06:45Contraindication.
06:47And 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.
06:58Next.
06:59The tab.
07:00The tab.
07:01The tab.
07:02The tab.
07:03The powers.
07:04Next.
07:05That's the edge.
07:06The edge.
07:07The edge.
07:08You two, what's his name?
07:09Pledge.
07:10It's Pledge.
07:11Next.
07:12Next.
07:13That's the edge.
07:14Next.
07:15That's the edge.
07:16That's the edge.
07:17The edge.
07:18You two, what's his name?
07:19Pledge.
07:20It's Pledge.
07:21Next.
07:22Next.
07:32Two seconds.
07:34Keys on a keyboard.
07:36Not it.
07:37Pitchers, 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.
07:46Aww.
07:47We've got Collision, Powerball, The Edge, of course, and Gauntlet.
07:51They are games on Gladiators.
07:54Aww.
07:55The reincarnated Gladiators show.
07:58Pitchers, there's one choice left.
08:00What's left, what will it be?
08:01The lion, please, Victoria.
08:03The lion.
08:04What do these clues have in common?
08:05Here's the first.
08:07Turkey.
08:08Sorry.
08:09The Austrian flag.
08:10Vienna.
08:11It's the capital.
08:12Let's go.
08:14Queen of Africa.
08:15OK.
08:16Next, please.
08:17Nigerian side.
08:18Greens.
08:19Green something.
08:20OK.
08:21Oh, is it penguin?
08:22It is like the penguin colour code.
08:23The penguin colour code.
08:24African penguin, little penguin.
08:25Those are both like...
08:26So these are penguin penguins.
08:27Yeah.
08:28You can bail me out if I get it wrong, mate.
08:30Yes.
08:32Penguins.
08:33Insofar as African penguin, little penguin, and these are the colour schemes for penguin books 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...
08:48Originally, I think they were black and white, but they had a colour block to show genre.
08:51We 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.
09:10Next.
09:11Next.
09:12Two seconds.
09:13Related by Eggers.
09:14Next.
09:15Two seconds.
09:16They are connected by eggs.
09:17They are connected by eggs!
09:18What can you tell me about the clues?
09:20Next.
09:29Next.
09:38Two 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.
09:49People say that love in tennis comes from luff.
09:53We 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?
10:01Ovaltine?
10:02I mean, ovaltine's an oval.
10:04Well, but it's ovaltine because of the ovo,
10:07the Latin for egg,
10:08combined with malt and the other ingredients.
10:11What's the virtual pet?
10:12Tamagotchi.
10:13Tamagotchi.
10:14And tamago is the Japanese for egg,
10:15and it originally meant egg watch,
10:17because it was a watch and the Arnie Jakobsen chair,
10:20of course, the egg chair.
10:22Well done.
10:23That means at the end of round one,
10:25the sorcerers 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.
10:36Let'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.
10:42What colour is that?
10:44Square brackets.
10:45On the Monopoly board.
10:46Monopoly board is yellow,
10:47so it's yellow,
10:48but we need going on.
10:49We need more, though.
10:50Next, please.
10:51T Street.
10:52So, is it going to...
10:53Is it the four cities on the Monopoly board?
10:55Like, there are four cities mentioned?
10:56What's the other ones?
10:57And you want to go by...
10:58Oxford and...
10:59Is Liverpool the biggest?
11:01Probably.
11:02Let's go for a no.
11:03I think we should go with the last one.
11:04Next, please.
11:05Yeah, so it must be Liverpool.
11:06Liverpool, open brackets.
11:07Street station.
11:08Street station.
11:09Street station.
11:10Yeah?
11:11Are we happy with that?
11:12Yes.
11:13Great.
11:14Liverpool, 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
11:25on 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.
11:35Do you have a favourite set?
11:36Orange.
11:37That's statistically the best.
11:38Really?
11:39Absolutely.
11:40I didn't know this.
11:41Also, you build four houses.
11:42Look at these quizzers all nodding.
11:43Oh, yeah, orange.
11:44What, you moron.
11:45You'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 if you're really getting
11:58the joy out of it.
11:59It's not really a joyous game anyway, is it?
12:01It's just a game to...
12:02It's all dates on to about joy.
12:03And 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.
12:11Sorcerers, what would you like?
12:14Horned Viper, please.
12:15Horned Viper.
12:16What would come fourth in this sequence?
12:18Here's the first.
12:19Nineteen.
12:20Nineteen.
12:21Nineteen.
12:22Nineteen.
12:23Nineteen.
12:24Nineteen.
12:25Nineteen.
12:26Nineteen.
12:27Nineteen.
12:28Nineteen.
12:29Nineteen.
12:30Nineteen.
12:31Nineteen.
12:32Nineteen.
12:33Nineteen.
12:34Nineteen.
12:35Nineteen.
12:36Nineteen.
12:37Nineteen.
12:38Nineteen.
12:39Nineteen.
12:40Nineteen.
12:41Nineteen.
12:42Nineteen.
12:43Nineteen.
12:44Nineteen.
12:45Nineteen.
12:46Nineteen.
12:47Nineteen.
12:48OK, I don't have any ideas, no, I'm not being able to do it.
12:51I don't have any ideas, no, I'm not being able to do it.
12:54I don't have any ideas.
12:56Two seconds.
13:0029 slash 8 equals 200.
13:03I'm afraid not.
13:04Pitchers, a bonus chance.
13:0618 slash 7 equals 200.
13:08Unlucky.
13:09It's 19. Sorry, Alexia.
13:10It's 19.
13:11You should have hit me.
13:12I should have hit you.
13:14Alexia, what is this sequence?
13:15Yeah, that's the 50th, 100th, 150th and the 200th day of the year.
13:19That's right.
13:20The 19th of February is 50 days into the year
13:23and we're going 50 days forward each time.
13:25And the 19th of July will be the 200th day.
13:29I did the maths late.
13:30Unlucky.
13:31I 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.
13:38Eye of Horus.
13:40What will come fourth of this sequence?
13:42Here's the first.
13:43Do you recognise Eye of Horus?
13:45I don't.
13:46Do you have a better pick?
13:47It could be Star Wars.
13:48Sounds kind of Czech, maybe?
13:49I'm thinking maybe it's South African Sea or something.
13:52Next, please.
13:54Oh, that's a thing.
13:55That's a horse.
13:56I mean, the first one isn't.
13:58We need more and pass that out, yeah?
13:59Next, please.
14:00Oh, that's four birds.
14:03Yeah, three birds.
14:03So is it five, four, three, two?
14:05We need two.
14:05What's a two-bird food thing?
14:07Yeah.
14:08You could just say, like, a chicken and beef burger.
14:13No, the bacon beef, bacon cheeseburger we had last night.
14:16Oh, yeah.
14:18Two seconds.
14:20Two, 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.
14:31So, 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.
14:44But the others aren't food.
14:46It's about portmanteau words.
14:49So, 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.
15:07Four, that's the great racehorse Aldeniti.
15:10Yeah.
15:10And the breeder, Tommy Barron, named it after his four grandchildren.
15:15That was four names and so we wanted something that was two words
15:19put together, for example, Brexit.
15:22Sorcerers, what would you like?
15:23Twisted Flax, please.
15:24Twisted Flax.
15:25What would come fourth in this sequence is the first.
15:28Next.
15:41Next.
15:43Chang Kong is a space station, Chinese space station.
15:45Okay, so there's a lot of sunshops.
15:47Okay, so distance from Earth is nice.
15:51Or maybe distance from Earth is nice.
15:53Distance from Earth is quite nice.
15:54But then...
15:55Next.
16:05Two seconds.
16:07The James Webb telescope.
16:09Not the answer, I'm afraid.
16:10Oh, no.
16:11Pictures, do you want to go for a bonus point?
16:12Well, I mean, maybe mirror then?
16:14Mirror.
16:15Let's go with mirror.
16:15Nutted.
16:17This is objects orbiting Earth in order of heaviness.
16:24So 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.
16:34Now, 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.
16:40Yeah, well, there's almost certainly something that's heavier than the Hubble Space Telescope,
16:44but less heavy than the Chinese Space Station floating around up there.
16:47But officially, there are not.
16:49What would you like next?
16:52Water, please.
16:54Water.
16:54And what would come forth in this sequence?
16:57Here's the first.
16:59I don't know any of these references, do you?
17:01Well, Banana Man's like a comic, a DC television comic, I think.
17:04That's probably an address where you live.
17:06Next, please.
17:09Oh, so that's... Roundy Street is where a lot of nature is.
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.
17:16Who lives at number 64 or something?
17:18Let's go next.
17:19Next, please.
17:21I don't know what number they live in.
17:22I don't know.
17:23Is it usually number one?
17:25It could be Harry Potter in Privet Drive.
17:27I think it's one, two, three, four.
17:28Let's keep that a go.
17:29Nice, that's lovely.
17:30Yeah, OK.
17:30I'm happy.
17:33The Dursleys and Harry Potter in the Harry Potter series, open brackets, Privet Drive, close brackets.
17:39Not it, I'm afraid.
17:41So, bonus chance for you, Sorcerers.
17:42The Simpsons in The Simpsons, Evergreen Terrace.
17:45I'm afraid that's not it later.
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, so we need an example of 32 of a street.
18:21For example, The Browns in Paddington, they live at number 32 Windsor Gardens.
18:26Sorcerers, one 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.
18:40Next.
18:46Next.
18:46Next.
18:48Walk.
18:49Walk away.
18:50Walk.
18:51Walk.
18:52You've got no one to hold.
18:53No one to walk away.
18:55Oh, it's...
18:56No, it's getting on just the card.
18:58It is.
18:59What's next?
19:00No one to walk away.
19:01No one to walk away.
19:03No one to walk away.
19:04Someone dealing cards.
19:05No one to walk away.
19:07Two seconds.
19:08Someone dealing cards.
19:09Not it, I'm afraid.
19:10Pictures, a bonus chance.
19:11Go on.
19:12Picture of John Major.
19:13It's Kelly Rogers.
19:14Why would it be John Major?
19:15Some sort of A in clue two.
19:16You see, it's not an A.
19:17What's happening at clue two?
19:18Hold them.
19:19Know when to fold them.
19:20Know when to walk away.
19:21Know when to...
19:22Run.
19:23Run.
19:24So, hold M, that's the joke.
19:25Know when to hold them.
19:26Know when to fold them.
19:27Know when to fold them.
19:28Know when to walk away.
19:29Know when to...
19:30Run.
19:31Run.
19:32So, hold M.
19:33That's the joke.
19:34Know when to hold them.
19:35Know when to fold them.
19:36Know when to fold them.
19:37Know when to walk away.
19:39Know when to run.
19:41That means, at the end of round two, the sorcerers have two points.
19:45The pitchers have eight.
19:49Well, that was a tough round two, but I must say,
19:51the connecting walls don't look much fun to me either.
19:54And with those welcoming words,
19:56sorcerers, what dark magic would you like?
19:58Lion or water?
19:59Water, please.
20:00The water wall.
20:01Two and a half minutes to solve it.
20:03Starting now.
20:06Okay, so we're going for...
20:07Lordi.
20:08A Lordi.
20:09Tribune.
20:10There's...
20:11Zendaya.
20:12Okay.
20:13A Lordi.
20:14If we had Sweeney.
20:15Figaro.
20:16These are title characters in all those, right?
20:17Figaro and Mond.
20:18There's newspapers.
20:19A Lordi's from...
20:20Saltburn.
20:21Yeah, yeah.
20:22Australian is not the point.
20:23Yeah, maybe.
20:24What were you saying?
20:25Tribune.
20:26Figaro Mond.
20:27Yeah.
20:28Figaro Mond.
20:29Red Echoes.
20:30Or something.
20:31Newspapers.
20:32It might include Echoes.
20:33Although Laurel is weird.
20:34Do you know any others that are newspapers?
20:36Oh, sorry.
20:37Are there just words for Sunday?
20:38So sometimes Domingo or Domenica.
20:39Oh, sometimes Domenica.
20:40I'm sorry.
20:41Domenica?
20:42Yeah.
20:43Yeah.
20:44What's our other one?
20:45Oh, Niedziela.
20:46With the N.
20:47This one?
20:48I think, yeah.
20:49No, okay.
20:50There must be another.
20:51Pizarre, possibly.
20:52That's actually real.
20:53Oh, okay.
20:54So it might not be...
20:55Oh, but that means it might be a newspaper.
20:57Oh, yes.
20:58Yes.
20:59That would be a newspaper.
21:00Probably.
21:01Tribune, surely.
21:02Tribune.
21:03Okay.
21:04So Echoes.
21:05What is Echoes?
21:06Other than...
21:07Um...
21:08Show...
21:09Show...
21:10Show...
21:11Show...
21:12Show...
21:13Show...
21:14Show...
21:15Show...
21:16Show...
21:17Show...
21:18Show...
21:19Show...
21:20Show...
21:21Show...
21:22Show...
21:23Show...
21:24Yeah, I just don't know.
21:26Schaefer for Tim Schaefer.
21:27Right, sure.
21:28Yeah.
21:29And then who would you put as the other?
21:31Audrey.
21:32I'd like some tag.
21:33Audrey, sure.
21:34Uncertain.
21:35Okay.
21:36This is a brutal laugh.
21:37Yeah, where's Zendaya from?
21:38Lorde in Lorde.
21:39Oh, in Lorde.
21:40But then...
21:41Lorde in Lorde, I love.
21:42Um...
21:43As, uh, Audrey, Schaefer.
21:45I don't know.
21:46Manic.
21:47Zendaya has end.
21:48The beginnings.
21:49I don't see anything.
21:50I'll just...
21:51I guess a few more of these papers.
21:53Oh, okay.
21:54Oh, sweet figure.
21:55We never did anything with this.
21:56No, we didn't.
21:57It's true.
21:58I can only apologise.
21:59But you can get points for the connections, even though you didn't find the groups.
22:15So let's resolve the wall.
22:17There they are.
22:18Tell me about that first group, starting Mond.
22:21We think newspapers.
22:22Newspapers.
22:23They are all newspapers.
22:24They're French newspapers, in fact.
22:25Yeah.
22:26There are various tribunes around the world.
22:28And the next group, Figaro, Zohan, Sweeney and Audrey.
22:32Musicals and operas?
22:34Well, they aren't all.
22:35In various works, they are all hairdressers.
22:39Of course.
22:40Figaro in the Barber of Seville and Sweeney Todd.
22:44But Audrey is from Coronation Street and that second clue, don't mess with the Zohan.
22:49Yes.
22:50And the next group, I'm not even going to try to pronounce it, but what is that pink group?
22:54These are Sundays.
22:55They are words for Sunday.
22:56They are words for Sunday.
22:57We've got the Polish word there, then.
22:59Zontag is German, Turkish and Italian.
23:02And the last group, Zendaya, Domingo and so on.
23:06They're actors in a specific film, potentially, but...
23:09Well, I'll give it to you for actors, because we often have a group which is just, you know, directors or something like that.
23:14So I'll give it to you.
23:15And there is one thing, actually, that they're all in, which is a show called Euphoria.
23:19Ah.
23:20So 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.
23:29Welcome, 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.
23:39Allegro.
23:40Allegro, baby, baby grow.
23:42There's loads of love in there, amor.
23:44Oh, yeah.
23:45Lieber, ammo, love, and...
23:48Yeah.
23:49Oh, sorry.
23:50Lieber, not Lieber.
23:51Um...
23:52Ho, maybe?
23:53That could be Chinese?
23:54You'll be...
23:55Chinese is I.
23:56Oh, okay.
23:57Um...
23:58Tintoretto.
23:59Tintoretto, amaretto?
24:00Allegretto.
24:01Allegretto.
24:02Amaretto.
24:03Vaparetto.
24:04Anything else?
24:05Libretto.
24:06Libretto.
24:07Okay, so I left out lib, so I'll leave an ammo.
24:09Oh, good.
24:10Um, blackbird.
24:11Bye-bye, blackbird.
24:12Bye-bye, baby.
24:13Bye-bye, bye.
24:14Yes.
24:15Off.
24:16Bye-bye, love.
24:17Bye-bye, happiness.
24:18Yeah, of course.
24:19Now we're left.
24:20But look at what we're left with here.
24:21Okay.
24:22Bodega's a shop.
24:23Yes, it is.
24:24Is it just shops in itself?
24:25Well, aflutado, that sort of sounds like a grossest maybe.
24:26Yeah.
24:27Bodega.
24:28Floor might be a flower shop.
24:29Floor is a florist.
24:30In Spanish.
24:31Shops.
24:32Then that would mean charcuterie.
24:33Like charcuterie.
24:34Like charcuterie, maybe.
24:35Yeah.
24:36And then the rest is love.
24:37Yeah, I like that.
24:38Whole might be Viet or something.
24:40Yes.
24:41You've solved the wall.
24:42I mean, well done indeed.
24:44What about the connections?
24:45Tell me about that first group starting Tinto.
24:48Hyphen R-E-T-T-O.
24:49Retto.
24:50So Tintoretto, Vaparetto, Allegretto, Libretto.
24:52Exactly so.
24:53And 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.
25:04Vendors in Spanish, like shops.
25:07They are not vendors.
25:09They are Spanish, but they're terms to do with wine.
25:12Oh, okay.
25:13Yes.
25:14And the last group, Ammo and so on.
25:17Yeah.
25:18Love in different languages.
25:19Exactly so.
25:20Ammo in Latin, Lubim, is Slovenian, Lieber, German.
25:24And who is actually Dutch?
25:26Oh.
25:27But you saw the wall and you gave me three connections.
25:29That's a total of seven.
25:30Let's have a look at the scores going into round four.
25:33The Sorcerers have five points.
25:35The Pitchers have 15.
25:40So a bit of a challenge for you here, Sorcerers,
25:42but I have faith in you.
25:44Missing vowels time.
25:46Fingers on buzzer teams, the first group of disguised clues
25:49are all minced oaths.
25:54Pitchers?
25:55Quighty.
25:56Correct.
25:59Pitchers?

27:08Very well done.
27:09Next category.

27:15Pitchers?
27:16Inspector Morrison, blood.
27:17Yes, he does.
27:21Pitchers?
27:22Batman and bats.
27:23Correct.
27:24No time to tell me Indiana Jones and snakes, because the bell has gone for the end of the quiz.
27:34And looking at the final scores, the winners and through to the semifinals with 25 points are the pitchers.
27:42Sorcerers, you finished with eight and my undying gratitude and affection for not shouting more oaths during that first missing vowels category.
27:51What a nice team.
27:52It didn't fall your way tonight, but thank you so very much for playing.
27:56And thank you for watching.
27:57Let'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, how changed from him who in the happy realms of light, clothed with transcendent brightness, didst outshine myriads though bright.
28:16If he who mutual league, united thoughts and councils, equal hope.
28:22But I think that's enough hell for one night, don't you?
28:25Goodbye.
28:26Any beer, who are you worrying again?
28:30You can't, you can't believe me again.
28:33If this is still an oko font or something, you'll see me next time.
28:40Maybe you've got to hear.
28:44How are you unforgién from pronto Doom?
28:48Amen.
28:49You have to run, get there.
