00:00Hello and welcome to the ONLY Connect Grand Final.
00:26You get one shot.
00:28Do not miss your chance to blow.
00:30This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo.
00:33The words of Eminem there, playing B-Rabbit in 8 Mile.
00:37Of course, in that film, B-Rabbit's shot comes at a regular open mic night rap battle.
00:42So technically, if he failed, he would get another go the following Thursday.
00:46Not the case for our teams tonight.
00:49This really is their only chance to blow.
00:52And those blowers are...
00:54On my right, Alexia Jarvis, an insight analyst who once had to cut a hairbrush out of her hair using nail clippers.
01:03Jonathan Gibson, an academic researcher who collected over 100 fake moustaches aged 10.
01:09And their captain, Paddy Pamant, a headhunter who plays cricket for five different clubs.
01:15United by home runs and house wines, they are the pitchers.
01:19Paddy, you've done a few quizzes before.
01:22When you played your first match here, you said, we've reached the zenith.
01:26Jonathan said, we've absorbed all the energy from the other quizzes and we're finally ready.
01:32Are you ready for this?
01:35I think I've personally tumbled down from peak readiness to a little bit of apprehension.
01:41My palms are certainly sweaty.
01:44Good luck to you tonight.
01:46You're playing on my left.
01:48Fiona Titcombe, a software developer who has a footbridge named after her in Berkshire.
01:53Thomas Carey, a software tester whose karaoke signature is the German version of Total Eclipse of the Heart.
02:01And their captain, James Horton, a software developer who only drinks water and milk.
02:08Hoping to outrun the competition, they are the 5Ks.
02:11James, before your semi-final, you did do a five-kilometre run.
02:16Well, some of you did.
02:17How have you prepared for this big match?
02:20Speaking for myself, plenty of water and milk and...
02:24Yeah, I mean, sadly, we didn't have any of Mum's spaghetti on hand.
02:28You won the toss.
02:30You will be facing the first hieroglyph of this year's final.
02:35What's it going to be?
02:36The Horned Viper, please.
02:38Good luck with this and all the other questions.
02:41I want to know what connects these apparently random clues.
02:44Here's the first.
02:46Reading in the dark.
02:48Or Reading.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Next, please.
02:52Plumbing under the sink.
02:54Could be a bit of a music lyrics thing.
02:56Oh, something someone does on the sitcom.
02:59Reading in the dark.
03:01Yeah, maybe.
03:02Things you have to do...
03:03Next, please.
03:04Staging Duncan's death.
03:06Could that be Macbeth?
03:07Yeah.
03:08Murder on the dance floor?
03:09I don't know.
03:10Next, please.
03:11Tightening.
03:12Tightening.
03:13Yeah.
03:14Two seconds.
03:15Sort of actions or quotes from Macbeth with lyrics.
03:26Not it, I'm afraid.
03:27Pitchers, you've got the chance of a bonus point.
03:29Can the sort of first part of the phrase mean the second part?
03:33So screwing and screw, you can do that on a billiard table,
03:37you can tighten a bolt as an action in billiards.
03:40No.
03:41These are explanations that you might give if you were caught with
03:48a candlestick in the library, lead piping in the kitchen,
03:52a dagger in the ballroom or a spanner in the billiard room.
03:57They are innocent uses for the weapons and rooms in Cluedo.
04:02Pitchers, what would you like?
04:05Eye of Horus, please.
04:07Eye of Horus.
04:08These are going to be picture clues.
04:09What do they have in common?
04:10Here's the first.
04:11Egypt.
04:12Egypt.
04:13Yeah, we need more than that, right?
04:14Next, please.
04:15The people of Saladin.
04:16Palfrey.
04:17That would have to expect a star without the...
04:19Is it not Sierra Leone?
04:20No, Sierra Leone.
04:21So it's a rectangle Egypt in a circle of...
04:23Sierra Leone.
04:24Shall we take a third?
04:25Circle...
04:26Yeah, let's do that.
04:27Next, please.
04:28Triangle.
04:29Triangle.
04:30Why is it pointed?
04:31Is that number of borders?
04:32Number of countries that border them?
04:33No, Sierra Leone has more than one border.
04:35Right.
04:36Take a fourth.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Next, please.
04:39It's roughly the shape they are.
04:40It's roughly the shape they are.
04:41It's roughly the shape they are.
04:42Or what they're called.
04:43OK.
04:44Roughly the shape of the country.
04:46These are approximations of the shapes of the countries represented by these flags.
04:52What are the countries?
04:53In the fourth we have France, which is the hexagon or lexagon.
04:58The third is Nicaragua, apparently shaped like a triangle.
05:03Sierra Leone at the second clue.
05:05And Egypt at the first.
05:07Yes.
05:08Not exact, of course, but it will be the closest approximations.
05:10The thing on a world map that's most like a rectangle would be Egypt.
05:14Right.
05:15So that's a point to you.
05:165Ks, what would you like?
05:17Two reads, please.
05:18Two reads.
05:19What connects these clues?
05:21Here's the first.
05:22Donald Trump and the two US politicians.
05:26Could be...
05:27Next, please.
05:28Barristers.
05:29Do they...
05:30Well, yeah.
05:31Is there something that...
05:33There's nothing.
05:34They don't...
05:35That's Ukraine.
05:36Yeah, we need another, don't we?
05:37Next, please.
05:39So these Ukraine...
05:41Oh, they didn't handshake.
05:43Oh, yeah.
05:44They would not handshake.
05:45Yeah, and Barristers don't...
05:46Yeah.
05:47Do these people sort of refuse handshakes, unable to...
05:52They are people who do not shake hands.
05:55What can you tell me?
05:56So, obviously, Covid, you know, keeping your distance, not...
06:02My notes say that ended the practice of handshaking in general.
06:05The question is, there's a trusting source.
06:07No-one touches anyone anymore, they claim.
06:10Alina Svitolina is a Ukrainian tennis player.
06:13Mm-hm.
06:14Currently refuse to shake hands with any Belarusian or Russian.
06:17Mm-hm.
06:18Barristers, it's a new one on me.
06:19Well, they don't, as a matter of professional courtesy,
06:22because, I mean, we don't really know why,
06:24but it is believed that shaking hands was originally a way
06:27that men showed they weren't carrying guns,
06:30and lawyers are supposed to trust that their opponents
06:33are going to have a fair fight, so they don't shake hands.
06:35The first clue, it was before the State of the Union Address in 2020,
06:39Donald Trump wouldn't shake Nancy Pelosi's hand,
06:42and then at the end of it, she ripped up his speech.
06:45All to do with not shaking hands.
06:47Two points to you.
06:48Pictures, what would you like?
06:50The wick of twisted flax, please.
06:51The wick of twisted flax.
06:53What connects these clues?
06:55Here's the first.
06:57Could be a lot of things.
06:58It is.
06:59Another, please.
07:00Next, please.
07:01Sorry.
07:02Right.
07:03That was the Year of the Dream Team.
07:05Did they beat...
07:06Is there some sort of victory?
07:07Was there some sort of split?
07:09Um, I think we need more, though.
07:11Next, please.
07:12Help divert by someone else, wasn't it?
07:14Oh, well, Life of Brian was partially funded by George Harrison,
07:17wasn't it?
07:18Funded by musicians.
07:19Funded by musicians.
07:20Funded by musicians?
07:21Maybe it was...
07:22I think musicians, cos it would be Dolly Parton.
07:24Oh, OK.
07:25Shall we go funded by musicians or...
07:26Yeah, let's do it.
07:27Yeah.
07:28OK, yeah, let's do it.
07:29Funded by musicians.
07:31Another successful early buzz.
07:33Yes.
07:34Well done.
07:35Let's have a look at all the clues.
07:36What can you tell me?
07:37Life of Brian was funded by...
07:39I think it's George Harrison, right?
07:40George Harrison.
07:41Yeah, he said he wanted to see the movie, so he paid for it.
07:44That second clue, that's the Grateful Dead.
07:47So, after the fall of the Soviet Union,
07:49there was a Lithuanian player who played for the Golden State Warriors
07:53and the Grateful Dead became aware of them
07:56and they paid for the whole team.
07:58They funded it and Gerry Garcia said,
08:01the dead love to celebrate freedom.
08:04The final clue is George Michael.
08:06George Michael heard a contestant on Deal or No Deal
08:09couldn't afford IVF treatment and paid for it.
08:11Yeah, is the third one Dolly?
08:14Dolly Parton contributed funds that helped towards
08:18the first Covid vaccine.
08:20Very well done.
08:21Back to you, 5Ks for a choice.
08:23The water, please.
08:24Water.
08:25What connects these clues is the first.
08:27NATO 2, then 11.
08:30Oh, well, NA is sodium, which is the 11th.
08:32That doesn't work.
08:33I don't know.
08:34T.
08:35Yeah.
08:36Next, please.
08:37Next, please.
08:49Next, please.
08:50WWE 7-7.
08:54Oh, it has seven syllables.
08:57Next, please.
08:58Oh, yeah, it's syllables and syllables in the short thing
09:01and syllables in the long thing.
09:03Two seconds.
09:04Do you want to say it, Tom?
09:05Yeah, so the first number is the amount of syllables
09:08in, like, how you say the abbreviation,
09:10and the second number is how many syllables would be
09:12if you said it in full what it actually stands for.
09:15Exactly so.
09:16Very well done.
09:17Do you think you could tell me all of the syllables in these clues?
09:20So we've got North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
09:22Which is 11 syllables.
09:24Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
09:2613 syllables.
09:27World Wrestling Entertainment.
09:30That's right.
09:31Although you're one of the people that put an extra little syllable.
09:33Yeah.
09:34You say wrestling, so that would maybe be seven and a half, but yes.
09:37Wrestling.
09:38And then World Wide Web.
09:39World Wide Web.
09:40Three syllables fewer than there are in WWW.
09:43Back to you pitchers for the last question of the Round the Lion.
09:47It's the music question.
09:49Here's your first clue.
09:51Here's to the one that we got.
09:53Cheers to the wish you were given up.
09:55You can hear that immediately.
09:57Shall we have another one?
09:59Next, please.
10:04All together now.
10:05Shall we go for it?
10:07I think we should.
10:08Right.
10:09The chord progression of Pachelbel's Canon in D.
10:11Great quizzing.
10:13Come on.
10:14That is amazing.
10:15I'm going to play you two more pieces of music.
10:17And I want to know if you can tell me what these things are.
10:19And we still try every night.
10:23There's some sort of theme for something.
10:25Oh, that's famous.
10:27What is that?
10:28And the fourth one.
10:29I ain't trying to preach.
10:30I believe I can reach, but your mind ain't prepared.
10:33I see you with that.
10:34Oh.
10:35You don't know Coolio's I'll see you when you get there.
10:37Oh.
10:38Of course.
10:39We should have.
10:40We're too young.
10:41What did you recognise?
10:42They come here.
10:44They're playing the final.
10:46I'm in charge of whether they get points or not.
10:49Too young, is it?
10:50All right.
10:51Come on, then.
10:52Talk me through the others.
10:53XF2 was All Together Now by The Farm.
10:57The first clue, I recognised the da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
11:02which is part of the variations on the theme in Pachelbel's Canon.
11:07But I couldn't tell you what the actual song was there.
11:09It's Maroon 5 Memories.
11:11Oh.
11:12And the third one, Christine and the Queens.
11:14Oh, yeah.
11:15Of course.
11:16That means at the end of round one, the 5Ks have three points,
11:20the pitchers have six.
11:25Onto round two, 5Ks.
11:26You'll be going first again.
11:27What would you like for your first sequence question?
11:29The lion, please.
11:30Lion.
11:31You'll be seeing the first in a series of clues.
11:33What would come forth?
11:34Your time starts now.
11:36So, it could be 1st of Jan or 2nd Jan or it could be...
11:41Er, next, please.
11:43Nine to ten.
11:45Is this the first time that the numbers change
11:48of, like, the four digits on the thing?
11:51Right, yes, yes.
11:52What would be...
11:53Shall we get another, do you think?
11:55Er, maybe...
11:56Next, please.
11:57Yeah, so...
11:59Er, yeah.
12:01So, it would be...
12:05First time we get a ten.
12:07First time we get a three.
12:09First time we get a four.
12:11One second.
12:12OK.
12:13We will try 31 slash 03.
12:18I'm going to stop you there because that is not the correct answer.
12:21Pitchers, do you want to have a go for a bonus?
12:23Maybe it's, like, 31 slash 03.
12:28It is not.
12:29OK, fine.
12:30It is to do with changing digits
12:33and it's about numbers that change when the date changes.
12:37So, when the 1st of January becomes the 2nd of January,
12:40one digit changes, the one to a two.
12:43When the 9th becomes the 10th, two digits change.
12:46When the 28th of February becomes the 1st of March,
12:48three digits change.
12:50So, I want to hear the only time in the year
12:53that four digits change and that is when the 30th of September
12:56becomes the 1st of October.
12:59So, no bonus, what would you like for your own question?
13:02The Horned Viper, please.
13:03That will be yours.
13:04What would come forth in this sequence?
13:06Here's the first.
13:07Sailing from Once Go to Time.
13:09Who did that?
13:10Anyone?
13:11I'm not sure.
13:12Next, please.
13:13Riding.
13:14Sailing, riding.
13:16Oh, could it be something like Modern Pentathlon?
13:20Could it be...
13:21Ooh.
13:22No, no, no.
13:23There's no sailing.
13:24Next, please.
13:25Oh, that's to do with the horse riding.
13:27They have the horse riding for the Australians.
13:30Oh, yes.
13:31Is it where they, like, Olympic events that weren't held in the country?
13:34So, surfing from Paris to Tahiti.
13:38Let's give that a go.
13:39Yeah.
13:40All right, then.
13:41OK.
13:42That's the most recent one.
13:43All right.
13:44Surfing from Paris to Tahiti.
13:47Perfect.
13:48Lovely, guys.
13:49Well done.
13:50And why is that?
13:51These are Olympic events that did not take place in the locality
13:56where the Olympics were held.
13:58Paris to Tahiti surf...
14:00Well, Paris Olympics had the surfing in Tahiti.
14:04Yeah, the horse riding was the 1952 this Melbourne?
14:0756.
14:0856, sorry.
14:09The 56 Melbourne, usually it's because they don't have the facilities.
14:12Obviously, you can't sail in Moscow.
14:13It's landlocked.
14:14You can't surf in Paris.
14:15So, the sequence is what is the furthest place an Olympic event
14:19has moved, and it was from Paris to Tahiti.
14:21But in Australia, the reason there was because there's a
14:24quarantine period, you know, of several weeks for horses,
14:28and Australia would not relax that period for the riding,
14:31so it moved to Stockholm.
14:33Well done.
14:345Ks, what's next?
14:35Water, please.
14:36Water.
14:37What would come fourth in this sequence?
14:39Here's the first.
14:40First.
14:41Fourth.
14:42Hotels.
14:43Monopoly.
14:44We've already had a game.
14:45One.
14:46We need another, don't we?
14:47Next, please.
14:48Third.
14:49Cajun.
14:50Do we know who or what that is?
14:55No.
14:56There's Cajun King, obviously.
14:58Next, please.
14:59Second.
15:00Oh, these are just anagrams of the highest mountains, right?
15:03So, first, any anagram of Everest.
15:04Oh, yes.
15:05Yeah, yeah.
15:06Everest.
15:07Yeah, yeah.
15:08Well done.
15:09First, colon, an anagram of Everest.
15:14I'm drawing a bit of a blank at the moment.
15:16Steve-er.
15:17I will accept that answer.
15:18We have gone with re-Steve.
15:20And what are those mountains?
15:22So, you've got Everest, that is obviously the highest mountain
15:25in the world.
15:26You've got K2.
15:27Mm-hm.
15:28You've got Kan, Cheng, Junga.
15:29Mm-hm.
15:30And then you've got Lotse, fourth.
15:32Exactly right.
15:33Back to your pictures for a choice.
15:35Two reads, please.
15:36Two reads.
15:37What will come forth in this sequence is the first.
15:41Macy Windu.
15:42Macy Windu from...
15:43Yeah.
15:44I'd need more, though.
15:45Next, please.
15:46OK.
15:47So, it'll be V.
15:48Oh, is it characters from Star Trek and Star Wars?
15:51Because Riker was definitely from Star Trek.
15:53So, it's going to be S-E-A-R.
15:54And Lack R was in Star Wars.
15:55S-E-A-R.
15:56So, it'll be R.
15:57Are they specifically from, like, series slash films
16:00getting further back in time?
16:01Shall we take the third?
16:02Because I think...
16:03No, I think we should do R, Kirk, and Luke.
16:09I'll try...
16:10Leave it in your hands, mate.
16:12I think it's worth the best.
16:13OK.
16:14Go on, JG.
16:15R, Kirk, Luke.
16:18Not a sequence, I'm afraid.
16:19So, I'm going to show the third to the 5Ks for a possible bonus.
16:24Oh, man.
16:25It's going the other way.
16:27Because it's definitely Star Trek and Star Wars.
16:29I can't give you long.
16:30We'll try R.
16:31We'll try R.
16:33I...
16:34Can't.
16:35I can't.
16:36I can't.
16:37It's too long, James.
16:38I can't.
16:39I can't give you that long.
16:40Now, you're very unlucky.
16:41I don't want to hear Luke.
16:42I want to hear Skywalker.
16:44Oh!
16:45It is about the letters.
16:47So, it is Star Wars and Star Trek.
16:49We are spelling T-R-E-K in the top clue and W-A-R-S in the bottom clue.
16:57So, I need someone from Star Trek whose name starts with K and someone
17:02from Star Wars whose name starts with S.
17:05Back to you, 5Ks for your own question.
17:07I have Horus, please.
17:08I have Horus.
17:09What would come fourth in this sequence?
17:12Here's the first.
17:14Fence Secretary Ben Wallace.
17:17Was he anyone?
17:19Conservative politician.
17:20I think we need a number.
17:21Next, please.
17:22Foreign Secretaries.
17:24Liz Truss.
17:25Is this things that happened in...
17:27Do we want, like, four as the same role in a period of time?
17:30I think...
17:31Should we get a number?
17:32Next, please.
17:33Prime Minister.
17:34Is this 2022?
17:35Is this all...
17:36Yeah.
17:37So, Home Secretaries, did we have four of them in 22?
17:40I can't remember.
17:41Who the heck were they?
17:42Chancellors.
17:43Oh, yeah, maybe Chancellors.
17:44Yeah.
17:45Yeah.
17:46Shall we try Chancellors?
17:47Yeah.
17:48Yeah.
17:49Okay.
17:50We'll try Chancellors.
17:52Colon.
17:53Sunak.
17:54Zahawe.
17:55Kuateng.
17:56And...
17:57Oh, God.
17:58The first Chancellor under Rishi Sunak.
18:02Who would it be?
18:03I'm going to give it to you, but I'm enjoying watching you wriggle, so keep going.
18:07Who would it be?
18:08It's hard to remember, isn't it?
18:09There were so many.
18:10Yeah.
18:11I'm going to throw you a bone.
18:12It was Jeremy Hunt.
18:13Jeremy Hunt.
18:14Yes.
18:15What is happening in this sequence?
18:16These are cabinet positions in 2022 and the numbers of holders.
18:21So, Ben Wallace managed to survive that extremely turbulent year.
18:24Mm-hm.
18:25Then you had Truss and Cleverley as the Foreign Secretaries.
18:28You had three Prime Ministers and four Chancellors of the Exchequer.
18:31Exactly right.
18:32And, of course, Liz Truss was Prime Minister for 49 days, which is exactly the same amount
18:37of time that Meatloaf's I do anything for love but I won't do that was a UK number
18:42one.
18:43Pictures.
18:44One question remains.
18:45The Twisted Flax.
18:46What would come forth in this picture sequence?
18:48Here's the first.
18:50Do you know what that is?
18:51Is it like Perseus down the gramaton?
18:53It could be...
18:55Shall we have another?
18:56Next, please.
18:57That's Chad Cannon and Ball.
18:59C and B.
19:00He's Bobby Ball and...
19:01Could it be D and A, C and B, B and C?
19:04Could be.
19:05A and D?
19:06Let's have another then, just to make sure.
19:07Next, please.
19:08Yeah, it's Bonnie and Clyde, so it'll be Anton Deck.
19:10Anton Deck?
19:11Yes.
19:12You happy?
19:13Anton Deck.
19:14Anton Deck.
19:15Exactly right.
19:16And just for people that are slowly catching up, Jonathan, perhaps you could tell me what's
19:20happening.
19:21So it's like double acts with the initials D and A, C and B, B and C and A and D.
19:26I mean, I love the idea of Dido and Aeneas as a double act.
19:30Open spot night for Dido and Aeneas.
19:32So the first name is going backwards, D, C, B, A, and the second name forwards, A, B, C, D.
19:38So I need two people with the initials starting A and D. Well done.
19:42That means at the end of round two, the 5Ks have seven points, the pitchers have ten.
19:47And on we move to our penultimate connecting wall of the season.
19:54That will go to you.
19:55Pitchers, will it be Lion or Water?
19:57Lion, please.
19:58Lion.
19:59Lion.
20:00You've got two and a half minutes to unpick this.
20:03Starting now.
20:05OK.
20:06OK.
20:07Lots of names.
20:08Some political.
20:09Arthur Wellesley's Wellington, isn't he?
20:10But Mario.
20:11Yes, indeed.
20:12Clicker was a mayor as well.
20:13So we could go for mayors or other political figures.
20:17Thatcher's in there as well as political.
20:18Oh, wow.
20:19We need to figure out what that group is.
20:21Oscar the Grouch lives in a dustbin.
20:23He's green.
20:24Indeed.
20:25So Emmylou Harris has Emmy in it.
20:27Do we have Oscar, Oscar, Tony, and...
20:32Brit from Britain.
20:33Let's keep a hold on those.
20:35And then look at the other eights.
20:37Remember Brit, bottom corner.
20:38John McCurk, is he the...
20:39John McCurk's a racing contator.
20:40Yes.
20:41He wears the deer stalker hat.
20:43He wears the deer stalker hat.
20:44Deer stalker, as does Sherlock.
20:45That's the great master detective as well.
20:47We could cycle the four.
20:48Maybe like Telephone Jack.
20:49Maybe that's some sort of...
20:50Yeah, go for it.
20:51...fictional character.
20:52All right, well...
20:53You go for that and we look at the others.
20:54So what have we got?
20:55Doctor Do Little.
20:56Do Little and then Charlie McCarthy might go with these.
20:59If not...
21:00I'll go with Charlie.
21:01OK.
21:02So now we know what...
21:04So Tony, Brit, Oscar, and we'll leave Emmylou.
21:08So what are the connections?
21:10Oh, were they all played by...
21:12What's he called?
21:13Rob Downey Jr.
21:14Because he definitely played Chaplin and he definitely played Doctor Do Little.
21:16Yes, and that was the Red Herring.
21:17Yes, and that was the Red Herring.
21:18Red Herring, yeah.
21:19OK, cool.
21:20And then what's our top group definitely going to be?
21:21Because they're all politicians of some description.
21:22Yes, so we could go politicians.
21:23Hmm.
21:24Do they have airports named after them?
21:26No, I don't think they do.
21:27No, I think we could just go with politicians.
21:28Is it Vitaly?
21:29It's definitely Vitaly.
21:30I don't think it's the Iron something.
21:31Because Arthur Wellesley was the Iron Duke.
21:32Yes, yes.
21:33Let's do that.
21:34I think that's good.
21:35They all wear deer stalkers for two.
21:37Yep.
21:38For three is going to be the awards.
21:39Yep.
21:40For four is going to be...
21:41Oh, Lewis Ferris is Oppenheim.
21:42Cool.
21:43Yes, it is.
21:44Yes, it is.
21:45Let's go for it.
21:46Boom.
21:47You've solved the wall.
21:48You make it look easy.
21:50What about the connections?
21:51Tell me about Arthur Wellesley, Margaret Thatcher and so on.
21:54These are all political figures who may have an epithet including the word iron.
21:58That's exactly what they are.
21:59What are those nicknames?
22:00The Iron Lady for Margaret Thatcher.
22:02The Iron Duke for Arthur Wellesley.
22:04Klitschko Iron Fist.
22:06Doctor Iron Fist.
22:07Ben Azir Bhutto was also known as the Iron Lady like Thatcher.
22:10And the next group, John McCleary, Sherlock Holmes and so on.
22:13Deerstalkers?
22:14Yes, I think so.
22:15They wear deer stalker hats.
22:16Wear deer stalkers.
22:17Charlie McCarthy was a famous ventriloquist dummy who had one.
22:20Of course.
22:21Emmylou Harris, Tony Stark and so on.
22:23The first names have awards in them.
22:25So we've got Emmy, Tony, Oscar and Brit.
22:27They begin with awards.
22:29And the last group, Doctor Dolittle, Charlie Chaplin and so on.
22:32Robert Downey Jr. characters.
22:34They have all been played by Robert Downey Jr.
22:37You needed a fraction of the time to solve that wall to get the maximum of ten points.
22:43Very well done.
22:44Let's bring in their opponents, give them the other wall and see what happens.
22:47This is our final connecting wall of the series, 5Ks.
22:51It's the water wall.
22:52Good luck.
22:53You've got two and a half minutes.
22:54Starting now.
22:59Churchill and Truman, word leaders.
23:02We've got Gary Oldman characters.
23:05George Spoiler, Winston Churchill.
23:08Did you say Truman?
23:11I don't know if it was a Gary Oldman.
23:13Yeah, in Oppenheimer, very briefly.
23:15Oh, yeah, of course.
23:16What would...
23:17I don't know.
23:18So we've got...
23:19Oh, very good.
23:20Right.
23:21Presumably that was Gary Oldman.
23:22Yeah.
23:23Iron Mike.
23:24Oh.
23:25Oh, we've got...
23:26We've got...
23:27We've got native phonetic alphabets.
23:28Mike, Oscar, Victor, Charlie.
23:30Mike, Oscar, er...
23:33Victor and Charlie.
23:34Victor and Charlie.
23:35We've got another?
23:37Delta.
23:38Delta Goodwin.
23:39Yeah.
23:40We left out...
23:41We left out...
23:42Yeah.
23:43Leave out Victor.
23:44Leave out Oscar.
23:45Leave out Charla.
23:47Leave out Mike.
23:49Oh, OK.
23:50Papa.
23:51Oh, for goodness sake.
23:53OK.
23:54There's too many.
23:55So we'll ignore Delta.
23:57What else is there?
23:58So, erm...
23:59So Sally Bowles was...
24:04Right, leave out Victor.
24:06Leave out Victor.
24:07OK.
24:08Right.
24:09Have you got hat wearers?
24:10Oh, yeah.
24:11Chaplin.
24:12So Bowles, Laurel, Charlie Chaplin and Oddjob, would it be?
24:15Did he have a hat?
24:16I think so.
24:17Oh, and the final, could it be like, Catherine the Great?
24:19Geoffrey the Great?
24:20Oh, Wainwright is the Great one, isn't he?
24:21Yeah.
24:22Yeah.
24:23So could we have greats?
24:24Sure.
24:27Delightful to witness.
24:29You've solved the war.
24:30Please tell me about the first group.
24:32Ivan, Karushnov and so on.
24:34All been played by Gary Oldman.
24:36They are all characters that have been played by Gary Oldman.
24:38That first one is from Air Force One.
24:41And the next group, Papadoc, Duvalier, Mike Tyson and so on.
24:44So the NATO phonetic alphabet, they begin all of those.
24:48And you did very well to pick out those four from a Six Clue group.
24:52The next group, Sally Bowles, Oddjob, Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel.
24:56They all famously wore hats.
24:58Hat?
24:59Yeah.
25:00All bowler hat wearers, exactly so.
25:02And the last group, Catherine 1-1 and so on.
25:06Hopefully these have been given the nickname The Great.
25:08They have.
25:09Catherine the Great, The Great One.
25:11Victor Borgia, do you know?
25:12No.
25:13The last two are new to me.
25:15The Great Dane and Geoffrey Durham, that magician, The Great Soprendo.
25:19But you did find four groups and give me all the connections.
25:22That is a maximum of ten points.
25:25Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.
25:28The 5Ks have 17 points.
25:31The pitchers have 20.
25:35So two brilliant walls.
25:36You're all great.
25:37Who is going to be this year's champions?
25:40Let's find out in the missing vows round.
25:42The first group of disguised clues all involve two sitcoms.
25:51Pitchers?
25:52Gavin and Stacey and Terry and June.
25:54Yes, it is.
25:585Ks?
25:59Only Fills and Horses.
26:01And Parks and Recreation.
26:02Correct.
26:06Pitchers?
26:07Steptoe and Sun and Two and a Half Men.
26:09Well done.
26:14Pitchers?
26:15Miranda and Amanda Land.
26:16Yes, it is.
26:17Next category, novels after a unit conversion.
26:24Pitchers?
26:25The 24 Hours of the Triffids.
26:28Instead of the day.
26:33Pitchers?
26:3440,000 nautical miles.
26:35Not it, I'm afraid.
26:365Ks, do you know?
26:3743,000 nautical miles under the sea.
26:40Instead of 20,000 leagues.
26:42Next clue.
26:465Ks?
26:47Celsius, 233.
26:49Instead of Fahrenheit, 451.
26:555Ks?
26:56The green 1.6km.
26:58Instead of the green mile.
27:00Next group are all...
27:01A wine, a woman, her song.
27:08Pitchers?
27:09Rioja, Rihanna, umbrella.
27:10Yes, it is.
27:11Yes, it is.
27:16And that is the end of the quiz.
27:19Looking at the final scores, one team has 21, one team has 24.
27:23So it's a good, high-scoring final.
27:26Well done, all of you.
27:27But the winners, and this year's champions of Only Connect, are the pitchers.
27:31Absolutely fantastic.
27:33Oh, my God.
27:34Really well done.
27:35What great quizzing.
27:36You guys are brilliant.
27:37Well played.
27:38You too.
27:39You too.
27:405Ks, you guys are brilliant.
27:41I love you all.
27:42I really think this has been such a lovely series.
27:45You're all just fun to be around and sporting and brilliant.
27:48Thank you for playing, but the trophy will go with you.
27:52In a moment, we'll have our magnificent closing ceremony.
27:55But first, we'd better have a bit of Milton.
27:57I've given up on getting to the end of this.
27:59So if you want to know how Paradise Lost finishes,
28:01or at least get to the bit with Adam and Eve,
28:03you can read at home from line 110.
28:06But I think we've just got time for a few lines from where we got to,
28:09which was the dubious battle and shook his throne.
28:12Let's close this final with the words of Milton's Satan.
28:16What though the field be lost, all is not lost.
28:20The unconquerable will and study of revenge,
28:23immortal hate and courage never to submit or yield.
28:27And what is else not to be overcome?
28:30Good night.
28:50Good night.
29:00Good night.
