00:00Time, please. Time, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for the Only Connect pub quiz.
00:23Tonight we are having a lock-in. Knock on the back door three times, code word quadratic.
00:30I will be serving up some ice-cold questions in my role as barmaid who's somehow doing the pub quiz
00:37to some favourite old teams from Only Connect of yore, and they are on my right.
00:44Lee Knowles, a senior improvement advisor and West Bromwich Albion season ticket holder.
00:49Gareth Cottes, an online merchandising manager whose first concert was Meatloaf.
00:55And their captain, Ushwini Karmath, a solicitor who spent her 40th birthday on a frozen lake.
01:01United by brewed beers, they are the Hopsters.
01:05Welcome back, Hopsters. We last saw you last year.
01:08Now, Ushwini, back in the day, we always said on this show we didn't have enough women contestants
01:12because quizzing comes from pub culture. You are a one-woman symbol of changing times.
01:20But you told us on your last visit you're a one-pint quizzer.
01:23I mean, this is going to last all night.
01:25What happens on the second pint?
01:27We don't want to go there.
01:29Welcome back, all of you. Nice to see you. You are playing On My Left.
01:34Dean Riley, a software engineer who directs local amateur theatre.
01:40Simon Gibbons, a software engineer who featured in a documentary
01:44as the fastest pickled egg eater in England.
01:47And their captain, Mickey Alexander, a research fellow who took part
01:51in a pirate-themed rave in the Greenwich foot tunnel.
01:55United by their love of a traditional pub, they are the Taverners.
01:59Mickey, you're back all the way from 2016.
02:03So lovely to see you. Are you... I should have asked before, are you still a couple?
02:07We are still married, despite me overruling him on the last one.
02:11Do you still play together as a pub quiz team?
02:13Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
02:15Would you say that since you were last here, your quizzing skills have got sharper or weaker?
02:20Ooh.
02:23Age is catching up with us, I think.
02:25Yeah, maybe we'll touch weaker.
02:27Well, we are actually going to be playing a slightly different sort of quiz tonight
02:31because this is a pub quiz.
02:33We're not going to have buzzers or any of that high-tech TV jiggery-pokery.
02:37The teams have got pens and paper.
02:39They're going to be playing all the questions at the same time,
02:42just like in a standard old-school quiz.
02:45So, pens and paper at the ready teams.
02:48Your first question is going to be the two reads.
02:52I will tell you when the next clue is coming up.
02:55Here's the first.
03:01Next.
03:07Next.
03:13Next.
03:15Yes, yes.
03:16Yes.
03:18And your time is up.
03:20Hopsters, what have you got?
03:22PH levels.
03:23That is the right answer.
03:25Canvaners, did you have that as well?
03:27We concur.
03:28We did.
03:29Let me see, you're working.
03:31PH, very well done, that is one point each.
03:35Your second question will be the lion.
03:38first clue coming up now next next
04:02i'll ask you this time taverners do you have an answer things that you're not allowed to do during an
04:15election is the right answer hopsters what have you got um politicians can't do i'll let you have
04:24it these are electoral law offenses so they changed the rules in 1985 you couldn't use a pub
04:30as an office i don't really know why it wouldn't be allowed and then allowed these two middle clues
04:37you wouldn't think it was two different things would you there's two separate offenses so there's
04:40bribery in general but then giving drinks which is considered treating so politicians who want to
04:47be elected can't do that kind of thing time for the twisted flax what is the connection oh it's a music
04:55question let me just reach for my old tinny tape recorder to play you the music clues
05:00here's the first
05:01next
05:08next
05:17next
05:28that's enough music hopsters what do you think the answer is
05:39um we think that the surnames are also first names of the singers not it taverners what have you got
05:48we think maybe something to do with opening hours with the pubs being open on the holidays saturday night
05:54also wrong yeah who do you think we heard from uh so we had elton john for the first one and cliff richard for the last one
06:02uh-huh um is it no coward at some point it was no coward at clue two and i let that third clue run on a bit in the hope you'd recognize the voice
06:11can we listen to clue three again
06:12now imagine that voice saying nice to see you to see you nice it's sir bruce forsyth sir elton john sir nor coward and sir cliff at the end all nights
06:32here's a nice bit of triv about nor coward he lived in a cottage next to the star inn which was e nesbit's local
06:41you don't think of e nesbit as a regular drinker in the pub and nor coward was such a big fan of hers as a child
06:48he once stole a coral necklace belonging to his mother's friend pawned it for five shillings and spent it on e nesbit books
06:55and in later years he lived in a cottage right next to her local pub and they were able to hang out so
07:00that was nice now before the next question i can see you're getting low on drinks taverners but that's
07:06all right because it is that moment in any pub quiz where somebody has got to go to the bar to get a
07:12round in even if they have to miss a question so i'm gonna have to ask for a volunteer from your team
07:17who's gonna go to the bar well i guess i'm closest so uh i'll take the short straw for that simon i'm gonna ask
07:23you to leave the stage right now i'm sorry you're going to be a man down i hear there's a big queue for
07:29the bar but let's get on with it it'll be the horned viper here's your first clue
07:33next next next
07:46next
07:50and we'll stop there
08:00taverners the two-man team what's your answer we believe these are uh according to these people
08:07these are the greatest yorkshiremen and what do you think hopsters greatest yorkshiremen they are
08:13nominated as the greatest living yorkshiremen who do you think dicky bird nominated i hope he said
08:21himself dicky bird said william wilberforce quote as he did a magnificent job for the slaves but he's
08:29dead so then he said i'll go for judy dench if you want a lady surprising answers there oh look it's
08:38simon coming back with the drinks in you come simon you help yourselves to drinks you'll be glad to hear
08:44they managed the point without you simon excellent next question water what is the connection between
08:50these clues here's the first
08:52next
09:02next
09:08oh yeah they're not they're they're they're like neolithic chalk things are they
09:15what do you think um these are giant works of art in these places what do you mean by giant works
09:30of art big things drawn on the ground what would you have said taverners we were also struggling for
09:35what they're called i've written neolithic earthworks which i'm certain is wrong but
09:39that's what we're thinking of i will give you all a point each you weren't fox they're not pubs they are
09:44hill figures and of course common pub names as well let us move on to the next question the eye of
09:51horus will be the last one of the round the picture question your first picture clue coming in now
10:02next
10:08next
10:14time's up
10:21taverners what can you tell me uh they're all synonyms for fast so you've got pacey from
10:28dawson's creek uh taylor swift uh speedy gonzalez and i think he's called fast eddie something
10:35fast eddie felson nice fast eddie felson and we wrote fast very nice you all get one point very
10:43good who is speedy gonzalez he's the quickest mouse in mexico he's the fastest mouse in mexico
10:49exactly well they're all doing very well that means at the end of round one the taverners have
10:54five points the hopsters have five points round two the sequence is round i might actually have a little
11:04scratching um i'll be telling you the clues in sequence again you'll all be playing together
11:11first one is going to be the two reeds here's your first clue
11:18and we'll stop there
11:42Here.
11:44Hopsters, what have you got for me as fourth in the sequence?
11:47Clacton, tick, brackets...
11:512024. The last election.
11:54Is the right answer. Taverners?
11:56Clacton, tick, 2024. You've got the same thing. Very well done.
11:59What is the reason, Hopsters?
12:01So, the first three are where Nigel Farage lost in the elections
12:06and the last one is where he won.
12:08It is successive elections for Nigel Farage leading up to Clacton.
12:13And what's it doing in this show?
12:15He famously likes being pictured in pubs.
12:17He's often pictured in the pub, isn't he?
12:19And there was actually a poll which said
12:21he was the leader that people would most want to have a pint with.
12:25But you obviously have to factor in that if you have to have a pint
12:28in a pub with a political leader.
12:30I think they have to ask people, of everybody in the world,
12:33who would you want to have a pint with
12:35and see how long it took before they got to any politician.
12:38I think would be the thing.
12:40Next question is going to be the lion.
12:43What would come fourth in this sequence?
12:45Here's the first.
12:51Next.
12:57Next.
12:58Is it where the pub is?
13:00That was the Brentford Brown.
13:01There was a pub in every corner, I thought.
13:04I didn't say Harry Potter.
13:06What's the name of the last name?
13:07I was the...
13:08Green dame.
13:10Green dame.
13:11Green dame.
13:13And time's up.
13:16Taverners, what can you tell me?
13:18We can tell you little to nothing.
13:19Yeah, this one stumped us.
13:20Are you stumped Hopsters?
13:21Stump Topsters? The village I grew up in.
13:23For what reason? It had four pubs.
13:25That would be an acceptable answer.
13:27We had the Arctic Monkey song Cornerstone.
13:30So talk us through the sequence, please.
13:32Albert Square is EastEnders.
13:34And there's one pub, of course, which is the... Queen Vic.
13:36That's it. Hogsmeade.
13:39The names of the pubs are...
13:40The Leaky Cauldron and the Three Broomsticks.
13:43Yeah, but the Leaky Cauldron is not in Hogsmeade, I don't think.
13:46That's in Diagon Alley, but the Three Broomsticks is right
13:50and the Hogshead Harry Potter pubs, of course.
13:53And what's going on at clue three?
13:54So, Griffin Park is the former home of Brentford
13:58and they used to have three pubs on the corner of the ground.
14:02On these dates, they did.
14:03And until 2015, there was a pub on each corner, one closed.
14:07So, for four years, there were just three.
14:09Sadly, Brentford don't play there any more.
14:11It's been demolished.
14:12So, well done, Hopsters, you get two points there.
14:15But the bad news is, I think it's time someone went to the bar.
14:18Who's volunteering?
14:20I'll take the hit.
14:22Off you go, Lee.
14:24You go and get the drinks in.
14:25We'll play the next question.
14:27It's going to be the Twisted Flax.
14:30We'll wait until Lee has left the street.
14:32No, he's having his... Fine, that's it.
14:34Get it down.
14:35What comes fourth in this sequence?
14:37Here's the first.
14:39Next.
14:40Next.
14:41Next.
14:42Next.
14:43Oh.
14:44Are these the years they got released?
14:45Yes, yes, yes, yes.
14:46So, what's...
14:47Isn't it a triangle?
14:48What was the next one, was it?
14:49Yeah, that's it.
14:50Yeah.
14:51And it was his employees.
14:52Yeah.
14:53And let's stop there.
14:54Nastily Hopsters, you're the two-man team now, so I'm going to ask you.
15:10So, we think it's the equal sign followed by the number 30.
15:13And what do you think it is?
15:14We didn't really get to it.
15:16We've got triangle 25.
15:17Not it, I'm afraid.
15:19Equals 30 is the right answer.
15:22Talk me through it, please.
15:23So, the mathematical symbols are the Ed Sheeran albums,
15:27I think, in succession,
15:29and the numbers are Adele albums, again, in succession.
15:33Ah.
15:34That's right.
15:35So, Ed Sheeran's albums go plus, multiply, divide,
15:39and then there's another one I would have taken,
15:41but equals is the next maths one,
15:43and the Adele 19, 21, 25, 30.
15:46Does he have a pub in his back garden, Ed Sheeran?
15:48Oh, he's very wealthy, that's what I would have.
15:52Oh, but look, Lee's coming back with a celebratory round of drinks.
15:56You see, when I'm doing a pub quiz,
15:58I always deliberately go the music round,
16:00because I wouldn't be able to answer it anyway,
16:02so then I can come back and go,
16:03oh, I would have got that.
16:04It is the albums of Ed Sheeran and Adele successively.
16:08But good news, your team got two points.
16:11Next question is going to be The Horned Viper.
16:14Picture clues.
16:15Here's the first.
16:20Next.
16:27Next.
16:28And we'll stop there.
16:41Is there a more revolting snack than the pork scratching?
16:45I mean, genuinely, is there a more...
16:46I mean, I'm eating them, but is there anything more disgusting?
16:48Some of them have hair on.
16:51If anything was going to make me go vegan, it would be that.
16:54OK.
16:55Taverners.
16:56What do you think comes next?
16:57We're lost.
16:58Nothing.
16:59Yeah, no.
17:00No.
17:01Hopsters.
17:02No.
17:03Sorry.
17:04I love this one.
17:05It's staring you in the face.
17:06Oh.
17:07Look at the word pint.
17:08Four letters.
17:09Red lion.
17:10Three, then four.
17:11Ho Chi Minh.
17:12Two, then three, then four.
17:14I want to hear one, two, three, four letters.
17:17For example, tea in the park.
17:19Why is Ho Chi Minh in this question?
17:22I'll throw pork scratchings at anyone who gets this right.
17:25I mean that in a positive way.
17:26Is there a pub called the Ho Chi Minh?
17:28No.
17:29Ho Chi Minh apparently worked in the kitchen at the Drayton Court
17:33in West Ealing, which apparently has the largest beer garden
17:36in London.
17:37And Ho Chi Minh worked there.
17:38I mean, how can that be right?
17:40Apparently it is.
17:41Let's go on with the next question.
17:43Water.
17:44What would come forth in this sequence?
17:46Here's the first.
17:51Next.
17:52Henry the fourth.
17:53So, is it going to be change of Reginald Marl?
17:55Henry the fourth.
17:56Henry the fourth.
17:57So, is it going to be change of Reginald Marl?
17:59If he was before Henry the fourth.
18:00Richard Grumwell.
18:01They're all following Richards.
18:02They're all following Richards.
18:03So, who followed Richards the fourth?
18:04Time's up.
18:05Popsters, can you give me an answer?
18:06Steven and nothing in the brownies.
18:07One in brackets.
18:08Yeah.
18:09One in brackets.
18:10Because there's only been one King Steven.
18:14Not it, I'm afraid.
18:15Taverners, what do you think?
18:16Well, we think it's the same thing for a different reason.
18:19You think it's Steven?
18:20We think it's Steven.
18:21We think it's Steven who followed Richard the first.
18:22Oh, no.
18:23You've got the rhyme wrong.
18:24It's Willy Willy Harry Steve.
18:25Damn it.
18:26Harry Dick John.
18:27Don't you worry.
18:28I'm going to give you the points.
18:29Because I think you've done some brilliant quizzing.
18:30This is really tough.
18:31Tell your opponents what the sequence is.
18:32Tell your opponents what the sequence is.
18:33I'm going to give you the points.
18:34I think you've done some brilliant quizzing.
18:35This is really tough.
18:36Tell your opponents what the sequence is.
18:37So, these are the people who succeeded Richards in brackets.
18:38So, Charles II on the restoration replaced Richard Cromwell.
18:39That's it.
18:40Because Oliver Cromwell died.
18:41His son Richard.
18:42So, for Richard Cromwell, Henry VII.
18:43Henry VII.
18:44Oh, no.
18:45Oh, no.
18:46You've got the rhyme wrong.
18:47Oh, no.
18:48You've got the rhyme wrong.
18:49It's Willy Willy Harry Steve.
18:50Damn it.
18:51Harry Dick John.
18:52Don't you worry.
18:53I'm going to give you the points.
18:54I'm going to give you the points.
18:55Because I think you've done some brilliant quizzing.
18:56This is really tough.
18:57Tell your opponents what the sequence is.
18:58So, these are the people who succeeded Richards in brackets.
19:01So, Charles II on the restoration replaced Richard Cromwell.
19:02That's it.
19:03Well died.
19:04His son Richard.
19:05So, follow Richard Cromwell.
19:06Yeah.
19:07Henry VII followed...
19:08Richard III.
19:09That's it.
19:10Henry IV followed Richard II.
19:12So, I want to know who followed Richard I.
19:15And it was John.
19:16And even though you didn't give me that answer immediately,
19:18I'm so impressed that you solved this difficult puzzle.
19:21You can have two points.
19:23We'll take it.
19:24Last question of the round is the eye of Boris.
19:27First in a sequence is this.
19:30That's my point.
19:31I was waiting.
19:32And I was waiting.
19:33I was waiting for Tom's.
19:34But why number four?
19:35Why number four?
19:37Is it the fourth?
19:38The fourth?
19:39We need to do that?
19:40No.
19:41Also, it's hard to do Beatles now because they did the different way in the US.
19:55Swept Away.
19:56That was the Madonna film where she was like, you should feel sorry for this.
19:58Next.
19:59sure it's lock stock one colon and what do you think hopsters one colon lock
20:05stock and two smoking barrels is the right answer you all get the points and
20:09what is the sequence the Guy Ritchie films going and why is Guy Ritchie in
20:17this show he has a pub he has a pub doesn't he nice a bit of pub culture has
20:23anybody seen swept away yeah it's not good people were very mean about that
20:27film but I reckon everyone on it was trying their best to do an
20:30entertaining thing what more can you ask trying their best to do an
20:33entertaining thing you do it if you think it's so easy lock stock and two
20:37smoking barrels is the right answer two points all round that means at the end
20:42of round two the taverners have 11 points the hopsters have 13
20:49time for the connecting wall amazing burst of high-tech play in this particular pub
20:55would you like lion or water I think it's time for a hydration break so we will take
21:00the water but aha you're both going to get the same wall two and a half minutes starting now
21:09okay so what do we see
21:12words for pub, local, tavern, bar, pub, saloon, inn so there are plenty of those
21:18clef means like key that's a music term but not really so clef, rest, tie, and bar
21:25we've also got inhabitant, native, local, resident, native, inhabitant, local, resident, native, inhabitant, local, wow
21:32resident, native, inhabitant, local, we've got re and ing we've not talked about
21:39so we said saloon, pub, should we try it?
21:43no no no we need to hold off don't we
21:45yeah so we've got demo, re and ing feel like shortening of something so pub or inn could go
21:53with those but what are they short for?
21:55why don't you take pub off for a moment because maybe speakeasings happen
21:59yeah anything go in front of them?
22:02yeah
22:03um
22:05we're fairly confident that it's either pub or inn with this so we should hopefully be able to get it
22:10what's the connection to like engineering, english, uh
22:16publish, relish, demolish
22:20yes
22:21you've solved the wall, very well done, tell me about the connections bar, rest and so on
22:26so the first group are musical, erm, it's musical terminology
22:31it's musical notation
22:32and the next group, local, resident, native and inhabitant
22:36they're all sort of synonyms to describe somebody who lives somewhere
22:40people from round here
22:42in tavern, saloon and speakeasy
22:45drinking establishments
22:46those are the four drinking establishments
22:48and the last group, pub, eng and so on
22:51so it can be followed by lish to make a word
22:54yes it can
22:56so that is all four groups, all four connections
22:59and the bonus that is the maximum of ten points, very well done
23:02let's bring in their opponents now and give them the exact same wall
23:06let's see how much you remember
23:08I bet you still can't solve it
23:10hello taverners, you will be getting the water wall
23:13and your time starts now

24:48Yes, very good. Relish.
24:50And then we've got tie, clef, bar and rest.
24:53Oh, all musical things. Those are all musical things, aren't they?
24:57You've solved the wall.
24:59Very well done. But do you know why?
25:01Tell me about local, resident and so on.
25:03They are synonyms from people who are from around here.
25:08Quite right.
25:09The next group in tavern and so on.
25:12Drinking holes.
25:14Of the many drinking holes, those are the four.
25:17Next group, pub, eng and so on.
25:20Things that end with Lish.
25:22Or that you can follow with Lish.
25:23You can put Lish after all of them.
25:25And the final one, bar, rest, clef and tie.
25:28All from musical notation.
25:29That is musical notation.
25:32You get the maximum of ten points.
25:34What did you get?
25:36I thought so.
25:37Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.
25:41The taverners have 21 points.
25:43The hopsters have 23.
25:47Time now for the missing vowels round.
25:49Unfortunately, a kindly benefactor has donated to the pub some buzzers.
25:54Because I have no idea how we'd have done this round otherwise.
25:57Fingers on buzzers, teams.
25:59I can tell you that the first group of disguised clues are all good topics
26:04to memorise for a pub quiz.
26:10Taverners.
26:11British Mollocks.
26:12Correct.
26:16Taverners.

26:26Best Picture Oscar winners.

26:38Off we go.

27:27Next category, TV pubs and bars and the shows therein.
27:33Taverners.
27:34The Woolpack and Emmerdale.
27:35Correct.
27:38Oh, the landlord has rung the bell.
27:41No time to tell me.
27:42Moe's Tavern and The Simpsons.
27:45Why the landlord's ringing your bell?
27:47I thought we were having a lock-in.
27:48But TV scheduling is a cruel mistress.
27:51They've had a word with the landlord, and by landlord, I mean our head of production's husband, Phil.
27:56Thanks for that, Phil.
27:57It's the end of the quiz, and looking at the final scores.
28:01Finishing with 28 points, it's the Hopsters.
28:04The Taverners have 29.
28:06You just squeaked it.
28:07Very well done.
28:08What a lovely evening it's been.
28:10Really nice to see you all again.
28:12Cheers.
