00:00Hello. Because I know that you at home love my introductory remarks and are very sad that
00:28BBC budget cuts mean that we can no longer afford the huge expensive script writing
00:33team that usually compiles them, I've actually appealed on social media for viewers to send
00:38in their own. And I've had a reply, it's a suggestion from Alfred Taylor in Norbury.
00:45He suggests, just get on with the questions, I always fast forward this bit anyway. Cracking
00:52stuff Alfred. And for the first time in Only Connect history, that's actually real. Joining
00:58me this evening, on my right, Lisa Carlin-Curtis, a software engineer who enjoys catering for
01:05parties of over 100 people. Alice Young, a government communicator who sings in a choir
01:11that specialises in Renaissance music. And their captain, Zahava Rosenthal, a lawyer
01:16who has jet-skied through Dirdle Door. United by their love of music, they are The Harmonics.
01:23I hear you met at a band camp. Why was it band?
01:29We met at a classical music camp.
01:33Was it an incredibly well-behaved, nerdy music camp or a sort of racy one?
01:39Well, nerdy, probably both.
01:41Yeah, both.
01:42You're going to be right at home here. Welcome.
01:46You are facing, on my left, Iona Twedell, an NHS adviser who can do the splits.
01:52Molly Glaze, a clinical trials manager who once did a five-day sponsored silence.
01:57And their captain, Max McGinnity, a solicitor who was the youngest subscriber to the Poirot magazine.
02:03United by a yearning for yoga, they are the Cat Cows.
02:07Now, Cat Cows, you've applied several times to be on this show,
02:10and this is the year you made it.
02:12Most people would think it was their worst nightmare to be here.
02:15Why isn't it yours?
02:17I don't know. Clearly, we've got some kind of resilience in us, don't we?
02:21We're calm with all the yoga, clearly. There we go.
02:23Well, congratulations on getting here.
02:26Lovely to see you. Let's play the quiz.
02:28Harmonics, you won the toss. You've decided to go first.
02:30Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
02:32Two reeds, please. Two reeds.
02:35You will be seeing up to four apparently random clues.
02:37Something connects them, but what is it?
02:39Here's the first.
02:42Next. Next.
02:46Or...
02:48I mean, they're the same.
02:50So they're homophones?
02:51I guess they're the same.
02:53Do you want to get one more or I'll go for it?
02:55They're spelled exactly the same, the French.
02:58So the two words in that language...
02:59It's probably the upper or upper, something like that.
03:03Shall we get the next one? Next.
03:06C, yes.
03:08Yeah.
03:11The two words are spelt the same
03:14in the language given in the first word of the clue.
03:18I need to hear something specific.
03:20They sound and are spelt the same.
03:23I'm afraid that's not it.
03:24So I'm going to show the fourth clue to the Cat-Cows
03:26for a possible bonus point.
03:28We think that they are spelt the same in the language,
03:32but the second one has an accent.
03:35I'll take it, because it is to do with accents.
03:38You're very unlucky.
03:40I'll let you have another go on spelt the same,
03:41although some people would say if the accent is different,
03:43it's spelt differently.
03:44They're spelt the same, but they're not all pronounced the same.
03:47Help me out with the Portuguese over there.
03:50Don't know the Portuguese, but we can do the others.
03:52It's a vor and a vo,
03:54so your pronunciation falls down on the first one.
03:57And actually, in Portuguese, there's an accent on the first one as well.
03:59But the key is, the accents are different in the words.
04:03So in the French and the Spanish,
04:04oo, oo, si, si, there's an accent on the second one.
04:07And what's happening at clue four?
04:08Resume and resume.
04:10Exactly right. And it's to do with the placing of the accents.
04:13And in some cases, the pronunciation is different.
04:16So you get the bonus point and you may choose a question.
04:18What would you like? Can we go for a lion, please?
04:20Yes, you could.
04:21What connects these clues?
04:23Here's the first.
04:24Rocky, you've got Sylvester Stallone,
04:26Duncan Lytton, Sturgeon... Next, please.
04:29Norm. Oh, Norm is in Cheers, isn't he?
04:31And then everyone shouts his name when he goes in, that one.
04:34Yes. So I'd be happy to go next. Next, please.
04:37Not in this game.
04:39Not in this game.
04:41No, it could be. Normandy.
04:43Normandy. Yeah, get that. Next, please.
04:47Yes, we can. That was Obama's slogan, wasn't it?
04:50So, Norm, we have an exclamation mark on them.
04:52Oh, I like that. Shall we go with that?
04:54BELL RINGS
04:55You could add an exclamation mark to all of these.
04:59I'm afraid not. I think you could add an exclamation mark
05:01to anything, really, so I can't take it.
05:03Harmonics, bonus chance for you now.
05:05Character slogans or something.
05:07TV character slogans.
05:10Not it.
05:11Now, in a way, it is to do with exclaiming,
05:14because they are all things you might hear shouted by a crowd.
05:18What's a crowd?
05:19So, Rocky, Rocky Balboa, when he's training,
05:21crowds run along shouting, Rocky, Rocky.
05:24Yes, we can. That's obviously Obama supporters shouted that.
05:27Not in this game, you must know that, as quiz fans.
05:30Bruce Forsythe?
05:32I tell you what, I'm going to say you don't get anything for a pair,
05:35and I want you all to shout,
05:37Not in this game, and see if it rings a bell.
05:39You don't get anything for a pair.
05:41Not in this game.
05:42Does that mean nothing to you? No.
05:44OK, well, that's from player cards, right?
05:46And Norm at clue two. Cheers.
05:48Cheers. Have you seen Cheers? Yes.
05:51Have you seen Cheers?
05:53You've got a treat in store.
05:55Who's Norm?
05:57The guy that walks into the pub and everyone shouts, Norm.
06:00That's right. There's an episode early on where he's sad
06:02because no-one ever notices when he comes into the bar,
06:05and for the whole of the rest of the run,
06:06every time he walks in, they all shout, Norm!
06:10I mean, it's great. Cheers is a really great show.
06:12What would you like next, Harmonics?
06:14We'll have the Twisted Flax, please.
06:15Twisted Flax. What connects these clues?
06:18Here's the first.
06:20Next.
06:22Richard doesn't seem to get one.
06:26Good.
06:27Fine, then.
06:29I don't know that people... Next.
06:32Fits.
06:33If the hat fits.
06:36I'll speak of the devil.
06:38When someone... Is that when you're talking about somebody?
06:42Like, speaking of... Great mind.
06:44So it's... Why don't you explain it?
06:45They're all, like, aphorisms.
06:47Shall we get the fourth one?
06:48I think we know what it is, just we don't have to explain it.
06:51They're all synonyms for a saying.
06:55I think that's sort of a good thing.
06:57Two seconds.
06:59They're all synonyms for a common saying.
07:03Do you know, they are. I'd love you to tell me something else.
07:05The second half is missing, so they are all one half of a saying.
07:09They are synonyms for phrases where the second half is missing.
07:12That's exactly right. Let's bring up all the clues.
07:14Can you tell me what we're looking at and what the full phrase is?
07:19So, we've got fine intellects, great minds, think alike.
07:22Speak of the devil and the devil will appear.
07:25That's it.
07:26If the hat fits.
07:28Or if the crown fits. Wear it.
07:30I love crown. I mean, cat, people often say, if the cat fits, wear it.
07:34And the last one? While the cat's away, the mice will play.
07:37Exactly so. You call it anapodoton.
07:40But I won't penalise you for not knowing that.
07:42Cat, cows, what would you like? Let's go for horned viper, please.
07:45Why not?
07:46You're going to be seeing some picture clues.
07:48What connects them? Here's the first.
07:51OK, so is it dung helper?
07:53So, next, please.
07:55Do we know who he is?
07:56Do we know what the sport's called?
07:58It could be.
07:59Is it pat, wear, dung, wear?
08:02Are we happy to say? Next, please.
08:05Oh, no. I don't know who that puppet is.
08:07I don't know who that puppet is.
08:08We're going to have to go next. Next, please.
08:11Have we got kiss? Kiss, pat.
08:13So, we've got pat and kiss.
08:15Is pat... Is it a kiss?
08:17Is it wear?
08:19Whether it's just a cyclist.
08:20Is it a dungeon?
08:22Cow?
08:23Is it a kiss?
08:24Two seconds.
08:26Affection. Think to be affectionate.
08:28Words for affection.
08:30Words for affection. Absolutely right.
08:32What clues did you recognise?
08:34We've got pat and kiss.
08:35You don't know Phil Grope a clue to?
08:38That's not Phil Grope, that's not affection.
08:40Marcel Who is written Hug.
08:43And, yes, if you don't know Bruce Forsyth,
08:45you're not going to know that monkey.
08:46Do you know who it is?
08:47Cuddles. It's Cuddles the monkey.
08:50Back to you, Harmonics, for a choice.
08:52Could we have the water, please? Yes, you could.
08:54What is the connection between these clues? Here's the first.
08:59Next.
09:02Have they got tattoos, maybe?
09:04Just a guess.
09:06Next.
09:08Have they got them insured?
09:10Sorry? Have they got them insured?
09:12Shall we get the last one? Get the last one. Next.
09:15Oh, God. Do you know?
09:17Yeah. Tattoos removed.
09:18Scottish.
09:19It could easily be that. That's quite a good guess.
09:22I have no idea.
09:24I'm Scottish, actually.
09:26Just say tattoos first, maybe.
09:28OK, go for it.
09:29I don't think she'd recommend it.
09:31Two seconds.
09:33Tattoos.
09:37I'll take it. Again, I would love to hear something else.
09:40Removed.
09:42I think that might be more wrong. In some cases, yes,
09:44but it's something very specific.
09:46What they have is literary tattoos.
09:50So, Victoria Beckham has been removed.
09:52She had on her neck from the Song of Solomon,
09:55I Am My Beloved and My Beloved Is Mine,
09:57something like that, that's been covered up,
09:59just because she said it didn't look nice.
10:01Megan Fox's shoulder, she's got,
10:03We Will All Laugh At Gilded Butterflies.
10:07It's broadly King Lear, but it's a bit wrong.
10:09Keith Urban's is Omnia Vincit Amor from The Virgil,
10:13although he has had that one, well, not removed, but covered up.
10:15He had that done with an ex-girlfriend who had the same tattoo
10:20and he's now turned it nicely into Nicole Kidman's initials.
10:23So, that's lovely, isn't it?
10:25And you don't know what Alan Cumming's got on his forearm?
10:27None of you?
10:29On his forearm, Alan Cumming has tattooed the words Only Connect.
10:33No way. Amazing.
10:35Now, I'm accepting your broad answer of tattoos,
10:37because perhaps it isn't a literary allusion.
10:39Perhaps he is not referring to the EM Forster.
10:42It could be he's such a fan of this show,
10:44he's just had its name tattooed on him.
10:46But if you think it's from Howard's End,
10:49then they're all literary tattoos.
10:51Cat-Cow's one question remains, the Eye Of Horus, what are these...?
10:54Oh! I'd forgotten about that.
10:56What a treat. Musical clues, what do they have in common?
10:58Here's the first.
11:00MUSIC PLAYS
11:01What's this?
11:03Next, please.
11:05MUSIC CONTINUES
11:07Oh, I don't...
11:09That's bad for us, I don't think we can go for that.
11:11OK, you think about the next, please.
11:13Erm, King Wild Kids In America.
11:15Yeah, who's that?
11:16We'll get the next one coming up. Next, please.
11:18MUSIC CONTINUES
11:20Teenage Dirtbag, Wheatus.
11:21Kids. Teenage...
11:22Yes, yes. Children, young people.
11:24BELL
11:26Young people.
11:27Is the right answer. What did we hear?
11:29We had Wheatus, Teenage Dirtbag. Mm-hm.
11:31We had King Wild Kids In America. Mm-hm.
11:34And then did we know the second one? We do not know.
11:36The second one, Germ-Free Adolescents by X-Ray Specs,
11:39and the first, Juveniles by The Walkman.
11:43And that means, at the end of Round One,
11:44the Cat-Cows have three points, the Harmonics have three points.
11:51So, everything we've done so far is completely meaningless,
11:53we've achieved nothing. Let's press on with another round.
11:55Harmonics, what would you like?
11:57Can we have the three reeds, please? Yes, you can.
11:59And here, I will show you the first in a sequence.
12:01I want to know what comes fourth.
12:02Your time starts now.
12:07Next.
12:10We're going backwards.
12:111988.
12:14What two things might happen in one year?
12:18OK, next. Next.
12:22It's one day. What? It's one day.
12:24I haven't read Dexter. I've not watched it.
12:27I've read it.
12:28My only guess would be Edinburgh, which is where they meet.
12:31I think. I really digested it.
12:331988, the vacation...
12:351988, sorry, 1988, both in Edinburgh.
12:38That's what I thought.
12:391988, the vacation, and then Dexter.
12:41Both in Edinburgh.
12:451988, both in Edinburgh.
12:47Is the right answer.
12:48I think you got that one, Lisa. What's going on here?
12:51This is one day, which is a TV show that I have not watched,
12:55but I have had advertised to me enough...
12:57LAUGHTER
12:59..that I believe they meet in Edinburgh.
13:01That's astonishing.
13:02I mean, I'm sure the author, David Nicholls,
13:04would like me to say it's a novel, which has been adapted for TV.
13:07Although, in fact, in the original novel,
13:09it's slightly different in the middle.
13:11They're in slightly different places.
13:12It would go in the same direction
13:14because we're going backwards to the beginning.
13:16In the story, they meet on the same day every year.
13:1815th July starts in 1988 in Edinburgh.
13:20But that's incredible.
13:22You haven't seen... It's such a ubiquitous programme.
13:25You haven't even seen it,
13:27but you can complete a reverse sequence going back to 1988.
13:30I get a very small number of very targeted adverts.
13:32LAUGHTER
13:34And Netflix really thinks I want to watch this.
13:37That's all I got.
13:38What is it you like that makes your intelligent TV
13:41thinks you'd want this?
13:42I watched Virgin River recently for my sins,
13:45so I think that might have done it. That might be it.
13:48Cat-Cows, what would you like?
13:49Let's carry on the pattern. Lion, please. Lion.
13:52What would come fourth in this sequence?
13:53Here's the first.
13:55N, 6, it could be most likely.
13:57Next, please.
13:58B, 9, it's N and B.
14:01So, Monday, Tuesday...
14:03Letter.
14:05So, 6 to 9, yeah.
14:07We're going to have to go...
14:09Shall we go next? Yeah. Next, please.
14:11True, 12.
14:13So, we've got 6 to 9 to 12.
14:15So, obviously, 11 to 15, but then...
14:18Why would you want to invade your...
14:20Triangle?
14:22Oh, yeah, number of points...
14:24Oh, God!
14:25Number of points...
14:28Like the number of edges on the rock.
14:31How many seconds? Two seconds.
14:34BUZZER
14:36D, O, 15.
14:38Not the answer, I'm afraid.
14:40Harmonics, you've got a bonus chance.
14:42Lisa? It's going to be Q, uppercase Q, lowercase u, 15.
14:46I'll accept that answer.
14:48We went with the full Q, U, A, D, O, 15,
14:50but you're completing the sequence correctly.
14:52What's happening?
14:53So, it's 6, 9, 12, 15,
14:56where you keep adding three.
14:57I don't quite know why, and it's, like, mono, bi, tri, quad,
15:02which would be, like, Greek numbers.
15:05Oh, wow. Do you know, you see, I'm not a mathematician myself,
15:08and I'm often fascinated how people can arrive at the right
15:12answer in a maths question without completely knowing how,
15:15and it's somewhere this pattern will make sense.
15:19There'll be a reason why you're right about the language
15:22that goes with it.
15:23It is M representing a million, B for billion, trillion, quadrillion.
15:29So, it's powers of ten.
15:31It's the number of zeros,
15:33and every time we're multiplying by 1,000,
15:36but the number of zeros go up by three.
15:38So, it's Q, U for quadrillion.
15:41Very well done, and you may choose your own question.
15:43What would you like? Twisted flax, please.
15:45Twisted flax.
15:46What will come fourth in this sequence?
15:48Here's the first.
15:51Next.
15:53They're bones.
15:55Humerus.
15:56Fibula.
15:57Where is that?
15:58Is that the arm?
16:00It's going down, isn't it?
16:02No.
16:03Do you see next, I think?
16:04Next.
16:07No, your arm is in your arm.
16:09Is this arm in your arm?
16:10It's going to be your feet, maybe.
16:12Pet? Patella?
16:13Pat?
16:14I just don't know.
16:15That's your knee, yeah.
16:16Are these definitely in your leg?
16:19No.
16:20I mean, I'm pretty sure...
16:22You're in tibia.
16:23I don't know.
16:24What other part of your tibia is ulnar?
16:26Two seconds.
16:29U-L-N.
16:31And why would that be?
16:32Ulnar.
16:33Because they're the bones going in a direction.
16:38And that's the one that comes next.
16:39I'm glad you're not my doctor.
16:43That's not the answer, I'm afraid. Cat-cows, do you know?
16:45We're going to go fem.
16:46Fem is the right answer.
16:48What's going on here?
16:49Are they sides? Longest bones?
16:51That's right, they are bones.
16:52The longest human bones, and we're getting longer,
16:55and these stand for humerus, fibula, tibia,
16:57and femur would be next.
16:58Well done.
16:59So you get that bonus, and you may choose your own question.
17:02Let's break the pattern. Eye of Horus, please.
17:04Let's go with the Eye of Horus.
17:05What will come fourth in this sequence?
17:07Here's the first.
17:08UK or British?
17:09Some kind of abbreviation.
17:10Yeah. Next.
17:12Next, please.
17:14I-O-S.
17:15I-O-S, so something...
17:16So O-S and then F.
17:18So do we want F?
17:19What next?
17:20Next, please.
17:23Is it I-O-S or is it I-O-R?
17:27Oh, Internet of Things, I-O-T, I-O-T.
17:29I-O-R, I-O-S, I-O-T, I-O...
17:31I-O-U, so it's a note saying that you owe money.
17:33Yeah. Yeah.
17:35A note saying that you owe money.
17:37Exactly right.
17:38And why is that?
17:39We think that these are I-O-R, I-O-S, I-O-T,
17:43and then we decide I-O-U.
17:45Exactly so.
17:46Institute of Refrigeration, iPhone operating system,
17:49Internet of Things, and we want to hear I-O-U.
17:52Hold on.
17:53Harmonics, what's it to be?
17:55Horned Viper, please. Horned Viper.
17:56What would come fourth in this sequence?
17:58Here's the first.
18:00Next.
18:02That means better, more harder, faster, stronger.
18:05Yeah, so what's stronger in French?
18:10Can I not just say it?
18:11I think the word is stronger in French.
18:13That was strong. 20 seconds.
18:14Like force.
18:15It's like a bit of force.
18:16But if we get it wrong, then we get the French wrong.
18:19It's going to be really difficult.
18:20Get the French for stronger, OK?
18:22Just take... We've got a few seconds.
18:23Think about it. You might know, OK?
18:25Strong. When would you use it in a sentence?
18:27Plus fort. Yeah, plus fort.
18:28And that makes sense if I do.
18:30Yeah.
18:32Plus fort is the right answer.
18:34Very well done. And why is that?
18:36Harder, better, faster, stronger in French.
18:39And why is it in French?
18:41Oh, is that the Olympics?
18:43No, it's just... This is Daft Punk, it's from their album,
18:46and they are themselves French.
18:47So had they recorded in their own mother tongue,
18:49it would have been plus deux, plus vier, plus quatre.
18:52The Olympic slogan, I think, is faster, higher, stronger.
18:56And then they added together, clearly in hope of making it
18:59into an Only Connect question, but, ha-ha, no,
19:01we didn't go with theirs, we went with Daft Punk.
19:04One question remains for you.
19:06The water question, of course, must be the picture question,
19:08because we haven't had it yet.
19:09What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
19:12Here's the first.
19:13OK, so four minutes past midnight, so 12.04.
19:17Next, please.
19:19So 12.33.
19:21Yeah.
19:22So 12.04, 12.33.
19:24Or 0, 0, 0, 4.
19:26Yeah, I get that. Next, please.
19:300, 2, 2, 2.
19:33Are these angles?
19:35Are they going to be years? What happened in those years?
19:39What, are they cubed? Oh, I see.
19:41So they're cubed, and then 180...
19:44No.
19:45Two seconds.
19:47Do we have any idea?
19:49Midday.
19:50Midday.
19:52Not it, I'm afraid.
19:53Harmonics, do you know?
19:5415, 58, so 3, 58.
19:57Mm-mm.
19:58It's actually much simpler than that.
20:00We are looking at the times 0, 0, 0, 4,
20:040, 0, 3, 3,
20:060, 2, 2, 2.
20:08So I just want four 1s, 11 minutes past 11.
20:12It's got one 4, two 3s, three 2s and four 1s.
20:16Yeah.
20:17That means, at the end of Round Two,
20:19the Cat-Cows have six points, the Harmonics have nine.
20:25Connecting wall time, and Cat-Cows,
20:27it will be your turn to go first now, so please choose lion or water.
20:31Let's go lion, please.
20:32Why not? Two and a half minutes to solve the lion wall,
20:35starting now.
20:37OK, so we've got Cole Porter.
20:41Yeah.
20:42Cassidy.
20:44Anyone heard of Fast Eddie?
20:46Connecting wall, Antony Moore, Berlin Wall.
20:48OK. Fourth wall.
20:52Brighton, but spelt differently.
20:55Antony Moore.
20:56Western Wall. It's a Kern Wall, I think.
20:58Western Wall.
21:00Someone's got Antony, I'm missing a couple of them.
21:02Let's go fourth. Antony's not on wall.
21:05What's Fast Eddie? Have you heard of that before?
21:07Is it a book film or is it a word thing?
21:09I couldn't tell you what it was, so paperweight.
21:11Spell.
21:13Butch Cassidy.
21:14Is Fast Eddie also, like, a...
21:16It could be, it's a Western thing, but then...
21:18Game of Thrones.
21:19Oh, and Throne ends in one, Antony...
21:22Lovely, lovely.
21:23Eight, to pay for weight.
21:25Brighton.
21:26We're going for six, so we've got...
21:29We've got walls.
21:30So let's try those walls again.
21:31I think you said try that.
21:33OK, so...
21:35I think we can say Western's one.
21:36Missing out.
21:38Like, Berlin, Holborn, so maybe they're, like,
21:42songwriters or bandleaders or something like that, maybe.
21:45Old Block, Tango.
21:47I wonder.
21:48Huddersfield.
21:50Hud Projector in, like, sci-fi.
21:52Hud Kern. It's also a sci-fi thing.
21:54Oh, OK.
21:55Er...
21:57There must be another wall. Brick Wall.
21:59Brick Wall, oh, my gosh.
22:00So you don't say...
22:03Have we missed out on the Wimbledon?
22:05I've missed out on Western, I've missed out on Full House.
22:09We've got 30 seconds.
22:11Let's go for 30 seconds.
22:12If we ignore the walls, let's go back to...
22:15I like the cowboy suggestion.
22:17Wow.
22:19There must be a wall there that we've not done.
22:21Concur, Western, Rick...
22:24Kernel. Eddie.
22:26I'd have to say there must be names in there.
22:30Ten seconds.
22:31We're just going to have to see if you can go somewhere else.
22:34Cell Wall.
22:35Oh, yeah, Cell Wall.
22:36It's also a thing, yeah.
22:37Oh, my gosh.
22:40I'm afraid that's it. The time's up. The wall has frozen.
22:43But you found a group on that tricky wall
22:45and you can tell me what connects Throne and so on.
22:47They have numbers at the end of them.
22:49Numbers at the end of the words.
22:50And you can get some extra points for the connections
22:52in the groups you didn't find.
22:53So let's resolve the wall.
22:55There we are.
22:56Cell, Western, Forth, Connecting.
22:58There are walls. Those are the walls.
23:00And there are just millions of them, so, you know, I'm lucky.
23:03Next group, Hud, Butch, Fast Eddie, Brick.
23:06Are we going to miss a cowboy thing?
23:07Are there characters in Westerns?
23:10They're not all Westerns.
23:11They're characters played by Paul Newman.
23:14So a film called Hud, you mentioned Butch Cassidy.
23:17Fast Eddie, you don't know that he's a sort of pool hustler
23:20in The Colour Of Money and The Hustler
23:21and Brick in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
23:23So Paul Newman characters.
23:24And the last group, Berlin, Porter, Arne and Kern.
23:28Songwriters. Those are the songwriters.
23:30I think you knew them all, American songwriters,
23:32but a couple of them you didn't quite know, Jerome Kern.
23:34But you found one group, you gave me three connections.
23:36That's a total of four points on a tough wall.
23:38Let's bring in their opponents now,
23:40give them an equally difficult wall, see how they get on.
23:43It's the Wall-to-Wall for you, Harmonics.
23:45Two and a half minutes to solve it, starting now.
23:49Mouth is Gob.
23:51Brace, Maximus, Aurelius, Robin Hood.
23:55John Gordon, Jonathan.
23:57Midnight Library, Holy Trinity.
24:00Bracelet, Gauntlet.
24:01Bracelet, Gauntlet.
24:03Tricklet. Great.
24:05Goblet. Goblet.
24:07Very nice.
24:09Bud...Buddy Holly?
24:12Twist is a dance. The Sugar Loaf is a dance.
24:14Max, Mid...
24:15What's Jor-El, anyone?
24:17No, I don't. OK, great.
24:19On The Table, Red Robin.
24:21Lookout Station. Table Mountain, Sugar Loaf Mountain.
24:24Yes. Tower Moun... No, that's not a mountain.
24:27Holy Mountain? Yeah, try those two. Lookout Mountain?
24:29Yeah, go for it. Holy. Top left.
24:32Well done. OK, so...
24:34We've only got three left. Mm-hm.
24:37Midnight Library, The Twist.
24:38Dancing... The Twist. Do The Twist.
24:40Do The Twist.
24:43Number one.
24:46OK, let's see... Bud Light.
24:49Midnight Black.
24:51Robin's Egg.
24:55Circus Maximus.
24:57We've got to spend a bit of time.
24:59Have we got any... Tower.
25:00Tower.
25:02Any anagrams?
25:03Bud... Dance The Twist.
25:05OK, so... Start guessing, I think.
25:08These are, like, names, and I'm going to put Bud.
25:10Yeah, go for it.
25:12You've solved them all!
25:13But do you know why? Let's find out.
25:16Tell me about the first group. Trip, Brace and so on.
25:18So you can add let to the end of them.
25:20You can put let on all of them.
25:22Table, Lookout, Holy Sugar Loaf.
25:24These are all mountains.
25:26They are all mountains.
25:27And, of course, the next two groups.
25:29Robin, Maximus, Bud, Jor-El.
25:32Played by the same actor.
25:34And what actor would that be?
25:35It's Robin Hood.
25:36Who's Robin Hood? I've got no idea.
25:38I can't give you long, I'm sorry.
25:40I think your way in there is Maximus.
25:42They are all played by Russell Crowe.
25:45And the last group. Number, The Twist, Tower and Midnight.
25:48Dancing.
25:50Or Library. Go for Dance.
25:52Neither.
25:53It's another word one. It's Round.
25:56Round Number, Round The Twist, Round Tower, Round Midnight.
25:59And I think if it had been the Dance, it might have had a capital T.
26:03But you found all four groups.
26:04You gave me two connections. That's a total of six.
26:07Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.
26:10The Cat-Cows have ten points, the Harmonics have 15.
26:16Onwards now to the Missing Vowels round.
26:18I think you know the rules of this one, teams.
26:20Fingers on buzzers.
26:21I can tell you that the first group of this guy's clues are all...
26:30Cat-Cows. Greta Thunberg.
26:32Yes, it is.
26:34Cat-Cows. Billie Eilish.
26:36Correct.
26:40Cat-Cows. Emma Raducanu.
26:42Yes, it is.
26:44Cat-Cows. Millie Bobby Brown.
26:46Good one, yes. Next category, Light Sources.
26:52Cat-Cows. Kerosene Lantern.
26:55Well done.
26:58Cat-Cows. Incandescent bulb.
27:00Correct.
27:04Cat-Cows. Bioluminescence.
27:05Yes, it is.
27:09Harmonics. The sun.
27:10There you go. Next category, all examples of rock and roll.
27:17Cat-Cows. Chris Rock and Swiss Roll.
27:19Yes, it is.
27:22Cat-Cows. Kid Rock and Ham Roll.
27:25Yes, indeed.
27:32This is a tricky one. Igneous Rock and Drum Roll.
27:35Next clue.
27:40Harmonics. Dwayne Johnson and Spring Roll.
27:43Very well done. Next category.
27:48But there will be no next category, because that is the end of the quiz.
27:52After an amazing round four, the winners with 19 points are the Cat-Cows.
27:58Harmonics, you finish with 17.
28:00I'm glad to say you're not out.
28:02You'll get another chance to play through later in the competition.
28:05But Cat-Cows, you've turned around a five-point deficit
28:09with some amazing missing voweling.
28:11Very well done.
28:12And you are straight through to the next round.
28:14Thank you all for playing.
28:15And thank you for watching Only Connect,
28:18the quiz where, if super-intelligent aliens were to land on Earth,
28:22adopt crude human form and come on the show,
28:24even they would struggle to get the answers.
28:29Hang on.
28:31Goodnight.
