00:00The comedian Jerry Seinfeld once said,
00:24sometimes the road less travelled is less travelled for a reason.
00:28I was reminded of that today as I bumped over the potholes and fallen trees,
00:33past the howling dogs and burned-out police cars
00:36and pulled into the Only Connect Studios here in Splott.
00:40I saw a strange crone shrieking,
00:42turn back, turn back, then I realised it was just me in the driving mirror.
00:47But we're here now, so we might as well play a quiz, and not just any quiz.
00:51This is the last, and indeed second, semi-final of the series.
00:56I am joined by, on my right,
00:59Alexia Jarvis, an insight analyst who performed
01:02Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in a Romanian town hall.
01:06Jonathan Gibson, an academic researcher
01:08who was part of the Songs of Praise School Choir of the Year in 2013.
01:13And their captain, Paddy Pamant, a headhunter who's got grade three in bassoon.
01:19United by strikeouts and nights out, they are the pitchers.
01:24Welcome back, Paddy.
01:26You surprised me a delightful way in your last match,
01:29so I can only ask, playing for a place in the final,
01:32what would Michael McIntyre say about the high stakes of tonight's game?
01:37I'm going to go into this thinking it's going to be the best game of the world.
01:42Thank you, darling, for giving me the opportunity.
01:45Absolutely brilliant.
01:47That is absolutely brilliant.
01:49Your opposing captain is shivering with fear about what I'm going to ask next.
01:54Let's find out who you're up against.
01:57On my left, Cath Foster, a counsellor who held her wedding reception in a bowling alley.
02:04Peter Flynn, a biology teacher who ran the Manchester Marathon with a fireman.
02:09And their captain, Charlotte Jackson-Orland,
02:11a French and Spanish teacher who collects fridge magnets.
02:15All from Manchester and hoping for a happy Monday, they are the worker bees.
02:20Charlotte, what would Ronnie Corbett say?
02:23No, I'm not going to ask you that.
02:26Welcome back. You knocked out those lovely doctors to make it to the semi-finals.
02:30And now it's perhaps a grudge match because you've met before,
02:33you've met the pitchers before.
02:34Have you strategised for their weaknesses?
02:37Absolutely. We've gone over all of the footage,
02:40we've analysed every weakness they've got,
02:41we've had intense training montages and we are ready for this.
02:45Bring it on.
02:47Pitchers, you won the toss, you'll be going first.
02:49Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
02:52May we have the twisted flax, please?
02:53Twisted flax.
02:55What is the connection between these clues?
02:57Here's the first.
02:58Anything gargling?
03:00Gargling.
03:01Gargling, yep.
03:02So something appearing on the channel.
03:04Another.
03:04Next, please.
03:06They've all got the same name.
03:08We'll all end in the same few letters.
03:10Let's have another, yeah?
03:11Next, please.
03:12Drive of Harry.
03:14Hairy, man.
03:16Not Amazons.
03:17Women.
03:17Shall we take the last?
03:18Yeah, let's do it.
03:19Next, please.
03:20Oh, that's an orangutan.
03:21Are these translations of names?
03:23Translations of names of monkeys or apes?
03:27Um, OK, all right.
03:29Are these all apes in a range of languages?
03:35Well, I'm going to get letters of complaint, whatever I do here.
03:40If I don't give you the points, people will say I'm too cruel,
03:42so I'm going to give you them, but to protect the other people,
03:44I'm going to say apes, primates is what they are.
03:48What are those primates?
03:49The final one is the orangutan.
03:52Mm-hm.
03:53That's from the Malay, man of the forest.
03:55Grotesque figure is the old French marmousset, marmoset.
04:01Oh, OK.
04:02Evil spirit of the dead.
04:04It's a name given by Carl Linnaeus to lemurs.
04:09Oh.
04:10That third clue, named after the Greek word gorillai,
04:14which was apparently a tribe of hairy women in Carthage in the 5th century.
04:18I'm not sure I believe it.
04:19Some explorer went away and came back and went away.
04:22I met some hairy women.
04:23He was just boasting, wasn't he?
04:25He was just trying to impress the lads,
04:26but that gave rise to gorillai, later gorilla.
04:30Worker bees, what would you like?
04:32Could we have the eye of Horus, please?
04:33Yes, you could.
04:34What connects these clues?
04:36Here's the first.
04:43Next, please.
04:48The people married the person in the clue and also that person's brother.
04:54That's it.
04:55What can you tell me about the clues?
04:57On the train down, we were discussing the marriages of Henry VIII
04:59and discussed that very fact and should have gone for five points.
05:04And then, I don't know about the middle two,
05:06but in EastEnders, Sharon married Grant and Phil.
05:08That second clue, that lady was lucky to have been the first one.
05:10And then, I don't know about the middle two,
05:12but in EastEnders, Sharon married Grant and Phil.
05:16That second clue, that lady was lucky enough to marry both Randy Jackson
05:31and Jermaine.
05:32And what's happening at clue three?
05:33Come on, one of you.
05:34Hamlet.
05:35Hamlet, of course.
05:36Hamlet's mother, Gertrude, married Claudius after Hamlet's father's death.
05:40And, you know, some people argue that's what drove Hamlet mad.
05:43Pitchers, what would you like?
05:44The horned viper, please.
05:47OK.
05:48What connects these clues?
05:49Here's the first.
05:52Oh, no.
05:54OK, next, please.
05:58Oh, the bender.
05:58So, they all come from the works of Horace?
06:01Horace's age.
06:02Yeah.
06:03Shall we?
06:04Yeah.
06:05All right.
06:08The thing outside the brackets takes its name from works of classical literature,
06:13which are indicated by the brackets.
06:14Time to narrow it down.
06:16OK, we will have a go at Horace.
06:18It is the work of Horace.
06:20Very well done for three points.
06:21That's lovely.
06:22Let's bring up all the clues.
06:24Talk me through them, please.
06:25Oh, well, it's Bibendum, the Michelin mascot.
06:27And I think the full line is nunc est Bibendum.
06:29Nunc est Bibendum.
06:31Now's the time for drinking.
06:32I know that's a motto for your team as well, as the Michelin man.
06:35Yes.
06:35The fourth is Dolce et decorum est pro patria mori.
06:38Exactly so.
06:39And Carpe diem is the third.
06:42Seize the day.
06:42That's from Horace's odes.
06:44And the first one, sapere aude, dare to know, quoted by Kant.
06:49Very good classical knowledge.
06:50Well done.
06:51Workerbees, what would you like?
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.
06:58It doesn't look like those windows are right.
07:03No.
07:04Next, please.
07:07Is that in the Middle East somewhere?
07:09I don't know.
07:09It's in the middle east somewhere.
07:11Yeah.
07:11Next, please.
07:19Next, please.
07:24Unfinished buildings.
07:25They are all unfinished buildings.
07:27What are we looking at?
07:28The last one is the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
07:31Although they do say they might finish that this year.
07:34That was the aim, 2026.
07:36What else?
07:36The third one, it's a hill in Edinburgh.
07:39It's like a purposely unfinished thing.
07:41Is it called Athens Hill or something?
07:42It's the National Monument of Scotland.
07:44It's not purposely.
07:45They never got enough money together to finish it.
07:47They only did 12 columns.
07:49The second clue is the Ryogong Hotel in North Korea.
07:52That's it.
07:53And that first one, the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York.
07:57All unfinished buildings.
07:58Well done.
08:00Pictures, what would you like?
08:01We'll have the lion, please.
08:02The lion.
08:03What do these clues have in common?
08:05Here's the first.
08:06OK.
08:07Oh.
08:08It might have a certain name.
08:11Yeah, OK.
08:12I like that.
08:12Let's see it.
08:13Next, please.
08:15New antibiotics.
08:16Multi-drug resistant.
08:17No, that's...
08:18No, I don't know.
08:18No, not a book.
08:19Let's go for another.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Next, please.
08:23Are they all named after something?
08:24Is it named after the same sort of thing?
08:26Um, but I don't know what the idea was this.
08:28Is it named after something in literature?
08:30Uh, next, please.
08:31Maybe like Greek letters?
08:32Untapped swimming pools in France.
08:35OK.
08:36Um, are they all green?
08:38Could they all be...
08:39Yeah, let's go for another.
08:41Two seconds.
08:41They're all green.
08:44Not it.
08:45So, a bonus chance for you, worker bees?
08:47Um, no, we're not sure.
08:50They are all things that were discovered by AI.
08:54Oh.
08:55So, that first clue, there were 3,000 hours of audio recordings
09:00fed into a computer and analysed, and they found, I think,
09:0330 different bird species, six bats.
09:06You know, this is something humans...
09:08There just wasn't the time or money to do,
09:09but a computer could just do it.
09:11New antibiotics, of course, that's the great hope of AI.
09:13In medicine, craters on Mars, faster rate of discovery,
09:17if you feed the images into a computer.
09:19You have to pay extra tax for your swimming pool, don't you?
09:21So, like, people hide in swimming pools,
09:22and then, like, aerial photography would see them,
09:25so the local councils can tax them in France.
09:27In the end, that's what it's all going to come to.
09:28You know, we can hope for the discovery of great new drugs,
09:30but that's what it's all going to be in the end.
09:32Snooping! Snooping!
09:34That's what it's going to come down to.
09:36Finding swimming pools.
09:37All discovered by AI.
09:39So, no points there.
09:40Worker bees.
09:41You get the two reeds.
09:43The music question, of course.
09:45What do these have in common?
09:46Here's the first.
09:47Here's a little song I wrote.
09:50You might want to sing it note for note.
09:53Don't worry.
09:54Next, please.
09:55Let your father before you, his mother before him.
10:03Next, please.
10:04With our oily marks appear on walls, where pleasure.
10:13Next, please.
10:14Every woman, every man, join the caravan of love.
10:20Stand up, stand up, stand up.
10:24Everybody take a stand.
10:26Two seconds.
10:28Feet.
10:29All accommodations in the titles.
10:34They do not have accommodations in the titles.
10:36Pictures, do you know?
10:37There are no instruments.
10:38There are no musical instruments.
10:40What can you tell me about the clues?
10:42Clue one, Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry, Be Happy.
10:45Clue two, we weren't familiar with.
10:47Clue three was Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek.
10:49And clue four was Caravan.
10:52Yes.
10:52Caravan of the House Martens.
10:53The second one, without you, without them, boy genius.
10:57Well done, you get the bonus point.
10:59That means, at the end of round one,
11:01the worker bees have two points, the pitchers have five.
11:07Sequences round, pitchers.
11:08You'll be going first again.
11:10What would you like?
11:11Let's have the lion.
11:12The lion.
11:13Oh.
11:14Ooh, OK.
11:15Just when you're musically warmed up, we've got a musical sequence,
11:18and we've got a musical sequence.
11:20So, if you want to go backwards, what would come forth?
11:21Here's the first.
11:22BUZZER
11:23Queen of the Night?
11:24It is.
11:25Queen.
11:26Queen Jack, whatever.
11:27OK, next one.
11:28Next, please.
11:29Do you believe Cher?
11:33Mozart, Cher?
11:36It's the chorus that's going to be about Cher.
11:38Oh.
11:39Yeah.
11:40So...
11:41What was the first one?
11:42Mozart, Wolfgambler's Mozart, Cher, Sarkeesian.
11:44Next, please.
11:46Do you know what I'm doing?
11:48Do you know what I'm doing?
11:50Do you know what I'm doing?
11:51So, this is...
11:52Do we all have something to do with the world, though?
11:54Yeah, shall we try World in Motion by New Order or something?
11:57Is that the word?
11:58I'm going to give it a...
11:59Two seconds.
12:00Two seconds.
12:01BUZZER
12:02We'll hear World in Motion by New Order.
12:05Not it.
12:06The worker bees, do you want to go for a bonus point?
12:08Erm...
12:10No.
12:12LAUGHTER
12:15I mean, fair enough, fair enough.
12:17I think for the viewers, that's the most relatable moment in the series so far.
12:22No.
12:23It is just a soprano part from the Magic Flute.
12:27We heard Cher, who has an alto voice, Nessun Dorma, a tenor.
12:32So we just want to hear anything for a bass voice.
12:37We're just going S-A-T-B through the voices.
12:39Old Man River, maybe.
12:41Old Man River, maybe.
12:42I mean, how would that be in a bass part?
12:44I can't think.
12:45Give me a go.
12:46Oh, Paddy.
12:47Old Man River.
12:50And that's all I know.
12:52Oh!
12:53That's...
12:54I love that.
12:55So, no points there.
12:57Worker bees, what would you like?
12:59Horned Viper, please.
13:00What would you expect to see fourth in this sequence?
13:03Here's the first.
13:04Two over five.
13:07Good night.
13:08Is this the winner?
13:09It's five.
13:11It's five.
13:12Two dashes.
13:13Five dashes.
13:14Yeah.
13:15Next, please.
13:16Oh, it's not small.
13:18It's foul.
13:19Erm, it's...
13:20No, it's not foul.
13:21It's ridiculous.
13:22Erm...
13:23Is that...?
13:25Shall we go next?
13:27Is that E and U?
13:29I don't know.
13:30That is three of the vowels.
13:32Next, please.
13:33Yeah, it's five.
13:34I don't know what the...
13:35I don't know what the morse code is.
13:37Do you know what the words are?
13:38Yeah, they're just the vowels.
13:42Five of five.
13:44It's the same morse code,
13:46and then it is the morse code for the vowel U,
13:48which I just can't think of.
13:50Not the answer, I'm afraid.
13:51Pitch us, do you want to have a go?
13:52Five slash five, it's the same morse code as in the third clue,
13:56and then we're going to put three dashes after it.
13:59Not it.
14:01I know you're thinking it's just vowels,
14:05and not everybody knows all of morse code,
14:07but we are seeing at the end of the third clue dot, dot, dot.
14:10Now, if there's one bit of morse code that everyone should know...
14:13It's S-O-S.
14:15We're just spelling morse.
14:17Oh!
14:18It's the morse code for two letters out of five,
14:21M-O, three M-O-R, four M-O-R-S,
14:24so we just want an E, M-O-R-S-E, a dot.
14:28Yeah.
14:29Pitch us, what would you like?
14:31Please go have E, I have Horus.
14:33Yes, you can.
14:35What would come forth in this sequence?
14:37Here's the first.
14:40Energy over mass, is it?
14:42Yeah, so that would be half two times...
14:46Next, please.
14:47OK, square root.
14:48So, C divided by pi.
14:50That's the speed of light, isn't it?
14:51No, it's small, isn't it?
14:52Oh, is that diameter?
14:53Yeah.
14:54If it's pi or d?
14:55Pi or square.
14:56Do we think it's pi or square?
14:57No, two...
14:58Well, circumference over pi will be d.
15:00It's just one.
15:01Is it D or pi?
15:02Oh, E equals empty squared.
15:03That's you rearranging it to get C,
15:05so it's C, D, E, F,
15:07so it'll be like M, A,
15:09cos four equals mass.
15:10Definitely.
15:11On you, Jonathan.
15:12Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's this.
15:13Perfect.
15:14OK, all right.
15:15On you, Jonathan.
15:16Lowercase m, lowercase a.
15:18Exactly what we had ourselves.
15:20Genius.
15:21Talk me through it, please, quickly,
15:22so the viewers don't switch off.
15:23The first one is you're essentially rearranging
15:25E equals MC squared to get the letter C,
15:27or the speed of light.
15:28The second one, circumference,
15:30equals pi times the diameter,
15:32so you rearrange that to get C over pi equals D,
15:35and it's just C, D, E, F,
15:37and force or F equals mass times acceleration.
15:40And the E at clue three would be what?
15:42Exponential.
15:43Euler's number.
15:44Euler's number, exactly.
15:45So I need any kind of equation that would result in F
15:48in the one you gave,
15:49which we had ourselves F for force.
15:51Very well done.
15:52Brilliant, mate.
15:53Worker Bs, what would you like?
15:54Twisted Flax, please.
15:55Twisted Flax?
15:56What would come forth in this sequence?
15:58Here's the first.
15:59In, in, in, in.
16:02Are they like logic gates or something?
16:04Are they by name?
16:06For, um...
16:08I don't know.
16:09For something.
16:10Next, please.
16:13Are they...
16:14Isn't it Australia, India?
16:16Is it, like, years of something?
16:19Is that cricket or something?
16:21Next, please.
16:22Next, please.
16:34Two seconds.
16:37Um...
16:38E-N-A-U-E-N.
16:40I'm going to stop you there.
16:41Not the answer, I'm afraid.
16:42Pitch, as do you know.
16:43A-U-E-N-A-U-E-N, 23.
16:46Mm-mm.
16:47You're close.
16:48What is it you're aiming to spell out there?
16:51Oh...
16:52We think it's something to do with cricket, don't we?
16:54It is.
16:55The in sometimes is just in.
16:58You know it's successive Cricket World Cups.
17:01India in India in...
17:04Yeah.
17:052011.
17:06Australia in Australia in 2015.
17:09England in England in 2019.
17:12So, Australia in India in...
17:15Yeah.
17:16...23.
17:17Couldn't...
17:18Couldn't pause it.
17:19Unlucky.
17:20Good question.
17:21But, you do get a new question.
17:23What's it going to be?
17:24We'll have the water, please.
17:25The water.
17:26These are going to be picture clues, what we do expect to see.
17:28The fourth picture.
17:29Here's the first.
17:31Um...
17:32Afghanistan to...
17:33Cairo.
17:34What?
17:35Is it Africa?
17:36A to E.
17:37What's next, please?
17:38Egypt.
17:39E to I.
17:40Oh, yeah.
17:41OK, so we're going Oman to Uzbekistan.
17:43Yep.
17:44A flight path from Oman to Uzbekistan.
17:48I will accept that answer.
17:50Talk the viewers through the sequence, please.
17:52So, from clue one, we have a flight going from Afghanistan to Egypt.
17:56Mm-hm.
17:57Those are beginning with A and E.
17:59Then we go from E to I, we go from Egypt to Iraq.
18:02Mm-hm.
18:03Then we go from Iraq to Oman.
18:05And there's only Oman, of course, the only one that begins with O.
18:07And what have we got a clue for?
18:08Oman to the United Arab Emirates.
18:10That's what we've got.
18:11But Uzbekistan or anywhere beginning with you would do.
18:14Well done.
18:15Well, could be, one question remains.
18:17The two reads.
18:18What would come forth in this sequence?
18:20Here's the first.
18:23I don't know who she is.
18:25No, I don't know.
18:26Why is she not?
18:27Why is her brother-in-law as well?
18:28I don't know.
18:29What have they found?
18:30They're discovered.
18:31Next, please.
18:35I don't know who she is.
18:37I don't know who she is.
18:38I don't know who she is.
18:39Oh, I don't know who she is.
18:40I don't know.
18:41I don't know who she is.
18:42Not too much.
18:43I don't know who she is.
18:44I don't know who she is.
18:45You don't know who she is.
18:46I don't know who she is.
18:47Yeah, what would be the secret?
18:48A few seconds.
18:49Yeah, what would be the secret?
18:56A few seconds.
19:02The model for the Oscar statue?
19:05Not it, I'm afraid. Pictures do you know.
19:07Oh, is Dorothy Michaels from Tootsie?
19:09So is it just like Dustin Hoffman?
19:11The answer is Dustin Hoffman. Very good.
19:14Amazing.
19:15This will just ring a bell for some people and for some people it won't.
19:18There is a film, Tootsie, as you said,
19:21in which Emily Kimberley is a character in a soap opera
19:24played by Dorothy Michaels, an unknown actress.
19:27But Dorothy Michaels is, in reality, Michael Dorsey,
19:30who couldn't get work so he's disguised himself as a woman
19:33and Michael Dorsey is played by Dustin Hoffman.
19:36OK. Very well done.
19:38That means at the end of round two,
19:41the worker bees have two points, the pitchers have 12.
19:44Time for the connecting wall.
19:48Worker bees, you'll be going first.
19:50Would you like lion or water?
19:52Could we have the lion, please?
19:53Yes, you could.
19:54Two and a half minutes to solve the lion wall.
19:56Starting now.
19:58OK.
19:59OK.
20:00OK.
20:01So, umber and ochre are both colours that come from, like, earth.
20:06And sienna.
20:07Sienna with sienna there.
20:09Malachite, is it?
20:10Possibly Malachite.
20:11Yeah.
20:12Oh, there we go.
20:13I won't.
20:14Ardern, as in Jacinta, is it?
20:17Could be.
20:18What else is ochre?
20:19Oh, you've got ochre for chore.
20:21You've got scat for task.
20:23Oh, delightful.
20:24What could naming sets be?
20:26I don't know.
20:27That may be an anagram of something.
20:28Is key, could he be, or they be a prime minister as our key?
20:32I don't know.
20:33Try key, English, Ardern, Clark.
20:35Clark.
20:36Heart, maybe?
20:37Heart.
20:38OK, so what about promise, arrow?
20:41Promise.
20:42What do you promise?
20:43You can break a promise.
20:44Oh, you can break a promise.
20:45You can break a heart.
20:46Yeah.
20:47You can break a broken arrow and a broken record.
20:49Yes.
20:50OK.
20:51So, you've got chore, scat.
20:52It could be a totally random thing.
20:54Naming sets feels like it could be an anagram.
20:56But my brother, I don't know.
20:58I don't know.
20:59I don't know.
21:00I don't know.
21:01I don't know.
21:02I don't know.
21:03I don't know.
21:04It could be an anagram.
21:05But my brain has stopped working.
21:06I don't know.
21:07You've got, like, an.
21:08I've done.
21:09What's looks on me?
21:10We haven't even looked at looks on.
21:12Looks is like the Latin for light, isn't it?
21:14Yeah.
21:15Is there anything else?
21:16Latin either.
21:17Scat.
21:18Scat like jazz, scar.
21:20I feel like you're onto something with chore and sask.
21:23Well, let's go that and that and that.
21:26But what could the other ones be?
21:28Like, if we go with looks...
21:30OK.
21:31OK.
21:32OK.
21:33Try to...
21:34That one.
21:35That one.
21:36There's...
21:37Running out of time.
21:39I know.
21:40I know.
21:41So, let's go...
21:42Oh!
21:43You solved the wall.
21:45Very well done.
21:46A lot of people would have been willing you on there.
21:49Now, what about the connections?
21:51Tell me about chalk, malachite and so on.
21:53They're all colours that are taken from the earth.
21:57Yeah, they're naturally occurring, pigments and colours, that's right.
22:00Next group, arrow, heart and so on.
22:03It could be broken before all of them.
22:05Yes, you can.
22:06And the third group, scat, arden and so on.
22:09Anagrams are jobs around the house.
22:11Yeah, jobs are things to do.
22:13It's task, errand, chore and assignment.
22:18Of course.
22:19Well done for spotting.
22:20That's probably an anagram.
22:21And the last group, English, Key, Clark and Luxon.
22:25Antipodean maybe.
22:26Antipodean politicians.
22:28Can you be more specific?
22:30Yeah.
22:31New Zealand.
22:32They are Prime Ministers of New Zealand.
22:34Coral looks on is the current Prime Minister of New Zealand,
22:37so it doesn't look great for him.
22:39The good news is, you found the groups,
22:41you gave me all the connections and the bonus,
22:43that is the maximum of ten points.
22:45Let's bring in their opponents, give them the other wall
22:47and see how they get on.
22:48Water wall for you, pitchers, two and a half minutes,
22:51starting now.
22:55OK.
22:56I'll leave out Varadka, Charles Hockey,
22:58Ender Kenny and Simon Harris are all teachers.
22:59Have we got a fifth?
23:00And Bertie Hohen as well.
23:01All right, OK.
23:02That's all cool.
23:03I'll leave out Harris, I'll leave out Kenny,
23:05I'll leave out Varadka.
23:07I'll leave out Varadka.
23:08OK.
23:09Varadka might be a wordplay thing now.
23:11You've got things that you can do in like metallurgy,
23:13like quenching, annealing, forging and braising and welding.
23:17Braise and weld.
23:18You know, joining them.
23:19Roxy music, ambient music, chamber music,
23:21and soul music.
23:22And theme music.
23:23And theme music.
23:24So what are you doing Varadka?
23:25Let's try the musics then.
23:28Roxy, soul, theme.
23:30I've left out ambient.
23:32I'll leave out chamber.
23:34Varadka's got Vicodin in German.
23:36I'll leave out soul.
23:38I'll leave out soul.
23:40OK.
23:42So what's the ones that it could be?
23:44So we've got forge, braise, weld and annual and quench.
23:48OK.
23:49So.
23:50Can you do three of those?
23:51I was tapping these three.
23:52Yeah.
23:53OK.
23:54Ox.
23:55Ox.
23:56Ox.
23:57Ox.
23:58Long paint.
23:59Is there an anagram?
24:00Ox.
24:01We've got ox.
24:02Have we got rad?
24:03No.
24:04Long paint.
24:05Anagrams.
24:06Have we got anagrams somewhere?
24:07Are you changing the letters or something?
24:08Varadka.
24:09So shall we try one thing?
24:11I think quench feels like it is the funkiest.
24:14Yes.
24:15And therefore, I'm going to try life now.
24:17I'm going to leave out quench.
24:19OK.
24:20GP.
24:21GP.
24:22Long paint.
24:23Should we leave out annual?
24:25Leave out aneal.
24:26Yeah.
24:27Sorry.
24:28My bad.
24:29Let's put that three.
24:30And then weld.
24:32Rocks.
24:33Oxy.
24:34Rocks.
24:35R-O-X.
24:36Zyro.
24:37Yorks.
24:38Is that correct?
24:39Maybe we put in weld with those.
24:41I'll try weld.
24:42And now, what should I leave out brays?
24:44Ten seconds.
24:45OK, fine.
24:46You've solved the war.
24:48Very well done.
24:49Right.
24:50Tell me about the connections starting Ahern.
24:53They are all...
24:54Are they T-shirts, Jonathan?
24:55Yeah, Irish T-shirts.
24:56T-shirts, or T-shee, I think you would say.
24:58Forgive me.
24:59Of Ireland.
25:00The second group, ambient, soul and so on.
25:02You can follow all of these with the word music.
25:05They can be followed by music.
25:07The next group, aneal, quench and so on.
25:10This is metallurgical terms.
25:12They are terms in metalworking.
25:14And the last group...
25:15Jonathan.
25:16I think they might be anagrams of names of equids, equine animals,
25:20because of zebra and oryx.
25:23You are really unlucky there, because you've done quite a lot of work
25:26in the last few seconds, but they're not all equids.
25:29They are just African mammals.
25:31Sorry.
25:32Sorry.
25:33Aardvark, oryx, zebra and pangolin.
25:36But you did solve the war and give me three connections.
25:39That is a total of seven points.
25:41Let's have a look at the overall scores.
25:44The workabees have 12 points.
25:46The pictures have 19.
25:50We will play the missing vowels round now, teams.
25:53Fingers on buzzers.
25:54The first group, disguised clues, all feature a film and its sequel.
26:04Pictures?
26:05Finding Nemo and Finding Dory.
26:06Yes.
26:10Pictures?
26:11Alien and Aliens.
26:12Correct.
26:15Pictures?
26:16Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.
26:17Yes, it is.
26:21Pictures?
26:22Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
26:24Yes.
26:25Next category, animals native to Japan.
26:30Pictures?
26:31Snow Monkey.
26:32Correct.
26:37Workabees?
26:38Red-crowned crane.
26:39Correct.
26:43Workabees?
26:44Goblin shark.
26:45Well done.
26:50Workabees?
26:51Oriental white shark.
26:52Not it, I'm afraid. Pictures do you know?
26:54Oriental white stork.
26:55It is stork.
26:56Sorry.
26:57Next group, an author merged with a household feature.
27:03Workabees?
27:04Hilary Mantelpiece.
27:05Very good.
27:09Pictures?
27:10James Bald windowsill.
27:11Yes, it is.
27:15Pictures?
27:16Lewis Carroll love light.
27:18Correct.
27:19It is Leo Tolstoy box, but too late because the bell has gone for the end of the quiz.
27:29And looking at the final scores, the winners with 27 points and through to the final are the pitchers.
27:36Very, very well done.
27:38Even better done to you, Workabees, with 14 points.
27:41You cement that all-important place in the third place.
27:44Playoffs, good luck in that vital match.
27:47Let's finish with a little bit of Milton.
27:49If you've just joined us, 26 episodes in, we're reading Paradise Lost, which is about Adam and Eve.
27:54But so far, Milton is still on Lucifer, who's fallen from heaven and becomes Satan.
28:00And he's talking to Beelzebub about that fixed mind and high disdain from sense of injured merit,
28:07that with the mightiest raised me to contend and to the fierce contention brought along innumerable force of spirits.
28:15And it is going to be about Adam and Eve, but we've only got two episodes left of the series,
28:20and we're currently online.
28:21100 of 10,000.
28:23So I'm not sure we're going to finish it, but tune in next week to find out.
28:27Goodbye.
