00:00Good evening.
00:23Queen Victoria once said we are not interested in the possibilities of defeat.
00:27It does not exist.
00:29Queen Victoria would have loved Only Connect and like many of our viewers,
00:33she would not have found these intros amusing.
00:36Joining me for this quarterfinal, on my right,
00:40Alexia Jarvis, who had her first cheese sandwich aged 30.
00:44Jonathan Gibson, who can play Sweet Child of Mine on the ukulele.
00:49And their captain, Paddy Pamant,
00:51who has archived 100 Charlton Athletic away match ticket stubs.
00:55United by high balls and curve balls, they are the pitchers.
00:59Paddy, if I said, surprise, we've changed the format,
01:03from the quarterfinals on, this is not a quiz but a talent contest,
01:07what would you do?
01:08Oh, my word.
01:10I have one thing in the back pocket and that's a Michael McIntyre impression.
01:14Either that or piano.
01:17Well, we don't have a piano here.
01:19So, if you were Michael McIntyre and I asked if you were looking forward
01:24to tonight's show, you would say...
01:26Well, this is my favourite quiz show of them all, Victoria.
01:29Thank you so much for having me, darling.
01:31Hello, hello, hello.
01:33That's really good.
01:35That's a really good impression.
01:38Very well done.
01:39Well, the stakes are going to be high for your opponents,
01:41who are...
01:42On my left.
01:44Raphael Carbo, who built his own lightsaber.
01:47Carolina Cordero, who dropped a clipboard into a 100-year-old church organ.
01:52And their captain, Emily Burke,
01:54who failed to recognise Leonard Cohen in a Chinese restaurant.
01:57Combined by conquering quests and characters,
02:00they are the sorcerers.
02:02Now, what about you?
02:03I mean, if this was suddenly...
02:04I'm not going to make you do an impression,
02:05but if this was suddenly Britain's Got Talent,
02:07what would you pull out the bag?
02:08Bassoon?
02:09I think it would be, yeah, either bassoon or singing.
02:12What's your party piece?
02:13What would you play?
02:14It's not interesting.
02:15There is a lovely Telemen Sonata in F minor.
02:17That absolutely is interesting.
02:19Some of our viewers are intellectuals, you know.
02:22Not you, obviously, but some people.
02:25Lovely.
02:26Nevertheless, we have not changed the format.
02:28We are going to play a quiz.
02:30Pictures.
02:31You won the toss.
02:32You'll be going first.
02:33Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
02:35Eye of Horus, please.
02:37Eye of Horus will be the first question of the game.
02:39What do these clues have in common?
02:41Here's the first.
02:43Plate and drink placement.
02:45Could be something in a picture,
02:46could be in an album.
02:47Could be the same thing.
02:48Oh, yeah.
02:49OK.
02:50We'll need more, though.
02:51Next, please.
02:53North or south?
02:54Polar or non-polar?
02:55Polar or non-polar, but then boss the bread and drink.
02:57We need more light.
02:58Yeah, sure.
02:59Probably.
03:00Next, please.
03:01Nine times.
03:02Oh, it's what you do with your fingers.
03:03They're reversed?
03:04Are you sure you do it with your fingers?
03:05Oh, yeah.
03:06I mean, they're reversed, yeah.
03:07They're reversed, like, cos it's like 54, 45, 36, 63.
03:10Oh, well, OK.
03:11Do we want the last, though?
03:12No, I think so.
03:13Because I can't articulate it.
03:14Next, please.
03:15Opposites.
03:16Shall we say opposites?
03:17Yeah, like...
03:18Two seconds.
03:21These are opposites or mirrored images.
03:24I think that might apply to some of them, but not all of the clues,
03:28so that's not it.
03:29Sorcerers, you've got the chance of a bonus point.
03:31There are hand rules for remembering these things.
03:34They all feature in mnemonics involving the hands.
03:36What clues can you tell me about?
03:38So, there's, I think, a right-hand rule for directions
03:40of electromagnetic forces.
03:42Yes, that one's quite complicated to explain.
03:44You get an L with your left hand, so that's how you know it's your left.
03:47Left and right, like this.
03:49And I don't know the other two.
03:50The nine times table, you do your...
03:52I've forgotten how you do it,
03:53but you do the entire nine times tables on your fingers.
03:55You can.
03:56So, what you do, starting on the left,
03:59and viewers, well, I'm not good with left and right,
04:01but this is my left.
04:02You bend down the finger, you want to multiply by nine.
04:05So, for example, four.
04:06One, two, three, four.
04:07You bend that down.
04:08And on one side, you've got the tens,
04:10and the other side, the digits.
04:12So, one, two, three, thirty.
04:14One, two, three, four, five, six, thirty-six,
04:16is four times nine.
04:17Ooh, I love that.
04:18And the bread and drink, you do that,
04:20and one is B and one is D.
04:22Oh!
04:23Laying the table suddenly got a lot easier,
04:25assuming we all do formal dining.
04:27So, you get the bonus point,
04:29and what will your own question be?
04:30Twisted Flax, please.
04:31Twisted Fax.
04:32A music question, what do they have in common?
04:35Here's the first.
04:36I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake City about two years ago.
04:40and he told me he was single,
04:42and we hit it off right away.
04:44So, we started living together.
04:45Next.
04:53Next.
04:54I'm quick on the trigger,
04:56with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint.
04:59I'm number one.
05:01But my score with the beller is lower than a seller.
05:05Next.
05:06This will come out tomorrow
05:09So you've got to hang on till tomorrow
05:13Are these musicals or songs with women's names in the title?
05:18They are not.
05:20So, bonus chance for you now, pitchers.
05:22All sung by Annies.
05:24They are all sung by Annies.
05:26That last one, the musical Annie.
05:28What was the third one?
05:30It was Annie Get Your Gun.
05:31That's right.
05:32I think that must have been Doris Day singing that.
05:34Chicago, clue one.
05:36And that's Annie who poisoned her husband.
05:39And clue two.
05:41That's not a musical at all.
05:43That's in fact the singer Annie,
05:45with a single called Chewing Gum.
05:47What would you like pitchers for your own question?
05:49Two reeds.
05:50Two reeds.
05:51What connects these clues?
05:52Here's the first.
05:53It's a type of cryptogram, isn't it?
05:54Rebus.
05:55Yeah.
05:56Learning skills.
05:57Rebus is also a detective.
05:58That's true.
05:59Next, please.
06:00Rebus.
06:01Oh my God.
06:02Hold back.
06:03Sobser.
06:04Sobser.
06:05Sobser.
06:06Sobser.
06:07Sobser.
06:08Sobser.
06:09Sobser.
06:10Sobser.
06:11Sobser.
06:12No, we need more to pause that out there.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Next, please.
06:15Do we need to replace bus with something?
06:17Reserve.
06:18ERVE.
06:19Hold back.
06:20Relearn.
06:21Reserve.
06:22ERVE.
06:23Oh, is it train?
06:24You changed bus to train.
06:25Retrain.
06:26Restrain.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Bus to train.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Change bus to train.
06:31And you get these words and their definitions.
06:34Exactly so.
06:35It's a train replacement bus service.
06:38Oh!
06:40Please talk me through the clues.
06:41What would those words be?
06:43Retrain, to learn new skills, in clue one.
06:45We have restrain, to hold back.
06:47Contraindication.
06:48That's clever, isn't it?
06:49Contraindication.
06:50And you didn't need to see untrained, not having been taught particular skills.
06:55Well done.
06:56Sorcerers, what's next?
06:57Water, please.
06:58Water, please.
06:59Water.
07:00These are going to be picture clues.
07:01What do they have in common?
07:02Here's the first.
07:03Here's the first.
07:04I've got a long time.
07:05I've got a long time.
07:06I've got a long time.
07:07I've got a long time.
07:08Next.
07:09Next.
07:10Is that the first?
07:11It's a tight, tight corner.
07:12It's a tight corner.
07:13What is it like?
07:14A tap.
07:15The tap, yeah.
07:16All the powers.
07:17Next.
07:18That's the end, that's the end, that's the end, that's the end.
07:23What's his name?
07:24Pledge, he's pledgely friend.
07:27Next.
07:37Two seconds.
07:39Keys on a keyboard.
07:41Not it.
07:42Pictures, another bonus chance.
07:44Are these all lines?
07:45I'm afraid not.
07:47That first clue, it's a still from a TV programme called Collision.
07:51Oh!
07:52We've got Collision, Powerball, The Edge, of course, and Gauntlet.
07:56They are games on Gladiators.
07:59Oh!
08:00Reincarnated Gladiators show.
08:03Pictures, there's one choice left, what will it be?
08:06The Lion, please, Victoria. Lion.
08:08What do these clues have in common?
08:10Here's the first.
08:12Turkey.
08:13Sorry, Austria.
08:14Vienna.
08:15It's the capital.
08:16Penguin Gladiators.
08:17OK.
08:18Let's go.
08:19Queen of Africa, OK, next, please.
08:21Niger, no, Nigerian aside.
08:23Greens, green something.
08:25OK.
08:26Oh, is it Penguin?
08:27It is, like, the Penguin...
08:28Oh, the Penguin colour thing.
08:29African Penguin, Little Penguin, those are both right.
08:31So these are Penguin Penguins?
08:32Yeah.
08:33You can bail me out if I get it wrong, mate.
08:35Yes.
08:36Penguins, insofar as African Penguin, Little Penguin,
08:41and these are the colour schemes for Penguin books with those genres.
08:44That is exactly right.
08:45And well done, you get three points for coming in after two clues.
08:48So that first series of Penguin books released, it was, originally, I think they were black
08:54and white, but they had a colour block to show genre.
08:56We are combining actual penguins with Penguin books.
09:00Sorcerers, one question left the Horned Viper.
09:03What do these clues have in common?
09:05Here's the first.
09:06Next.
09:26Next.
09:35Oh, that's...
09:38Are they eggs? Are they eggs?
09:43Two seconds.
09:45Related by eggs.
09:46They are connected by eggs.
09:48What can you tell me about the clues?
09:50Love could be zero as in an egg.
09:53That's right.
09:54People say that love in tennis comes from luff.
09:58We don't know that.
09:59One of the theories is that it's luff,
10:01but also, of course, that the zero resembles an egg.
10:04What's that second clue?
10:06Ovaltine?
10:07I mean, ovaltine's an oval.
10:08Well, but it's ovaltine because of the ovo,
10:11the Latin for egg,
10:13combined with malt and the other ingredients.
10:15What's the virtual pet?
10:17Tamagotchi.
10:18And tamago is the Japanese for egg
10:20and it originally meant egg watch
10:22because it was a watch
10:23and the Arnie Jakobsen chair,
10:25of course, the egg chair.
10:27Well done.
10:28That means at the end of round one,
10:30the sorcerers have two points,
10:32the pitchers have six.
10:33Sequences round,
10:37pictures you'll be going first.
10:38Please choose a hieroglyph.
10:39Alexia.
10:40Let's go for the lion, please.
10:42Lion.
10:43You'll be seeing the first in a series of clues.
10:45What would come fourth?
10:46Here's the first.
10:47What colour is that?
10:49Square brackets.
10:50On the Monopoly board.
10:51Monopoly board is yellow.
10:52So it's yellow.
10:53But then you're going on.
10:54We need more though.
10:55Next, please.
10:56T Street.
10:57So is it going to...
10:58Is it the four cities on the Monopoly board?
11:00Like there are four cities mentioned?
11:01What's the other one?
11:02And you want to go by...
11:03Is it Liverpool, street mix of size?
11:05Is Liverpool the biggest?
11:06Probably.
11:07Let's go for a no.
11:08I think we should go over the last one.
11:09Next, please.
11:10Yeah, so it must be Liverpool, open brackets.
11:12Street station.
11:13Street station.
11:14Street station.
11:15Yeah?
11:16Are we happy with that?
11:17Yes.
11:18Great.
11:19Correct.
11:20Down to the last punctuation point.
11:24Very well done.
11:25What is this sequence?
11:26These are the cities mentioned by name on the standard version of Monopoly in the UK.
11:32In ascending order of population, we imagine.
11:35Actually, no.
11:36It's just the order as you go round the board.
11:38Yes.
11:39Do you have a favourite set?
11:40Orange.
11:41That's statistically the best.
11:42Really?
11:43Absolutely.
11:44I didn't know this.
11:45Also, you build four houses.
11:46Look at these quizzes all nodding.
11:47Oh, yeah, orange.
11:48What, you moron?
11:49You're trying to get Mayfair and Park Lane.
11:51Why would the orange be statistically better?
11:54Because when you put someone in jail, they're most likely to land on those through the combination
12:00of the dice rolls.
12:01Yeah, I mean, I don't know if you're really getting the joy out of it.
12:04It's not really a joyous game anyway, is it?
12:06It's just a game to the orange and it's sort of fun for the first 20 minutes
12:10and then you go, are we still playing?
12:13And for people that have just tuned in, I'm not talking about Only Connect.
12:16Sorcerers, what would you like?
12:18Horned Viper, please.
12:19Horned Viper.
12:20What would come fourth in this sequence?
12:22Here's the first.
12:23Hello.
12:24Hello?
12:26ん, ha, innit...
12:27What else?
12:28Nineteenth.
12:29Nineteenth of February.
12:30Yeah.
12:31Nineteenth of February.
12:32Fif.
12:33Half Summers was fifty or something.
12:34Let's play with ten.
12:35Next.
12:3610th of the game.
12:37We'll go ahead with 10th of the game.
12:39100.
12:4010th of the game will be 100.
12:4110th of the game will be 100.
12:4410 and base of the game.
12:4510.
12:46Oh, no, it doesn't work.
12:47Next.
12:48OK, look, it's still the date.
12:5030.
12:5030th of May, 150, I don't have any ideas.
12:55No, no, no, no.
12:56OK, wait, wait.
12:58Just ask this.
12:59Yeah.
13:00250.
13:01Two seconds.
13:0229 slash 8 equals 200.
13:08I'm afraid not.
13:09Pitchers, a bonus chance.
13:1118 slash 7 equals 200.
13:13Unlucky.
13:14Oh, no.
13:14It's 19. Sorry, Alexia.
13:15It's 19.
13:16I should have hit me.
13:17Mm-hmm.
13:17I should have hit you.
13:19Alexia, what is this sequence?
13:20That's the 50th, 100th, 150th and the 200th day of the year.
13:24That's right.
13:25The 19th of February is 50 days into the year,
13:28and we're going 50 days forward each time.
13:30And the 19th of July will be the 200th day.
13:34I did the maths late.
13:36Unlucky.
13:37Well, I tell you what, Alexia,
13:38why don't we let you choose the next question?
13:40Thank you very much.
13:42I'll go for the Eye of Horus, please.
13:44Eye of Horus.
13:45What will come fourth of this sequence?
13:47Here's the first.
13:49Do you recognise Ad?
13:50I don't.
13:51Do you have a better pick?
13:52Could be Star Wars.
13:53Sounds kind of Czech, maybe?
13:54I'm thinking maybe it's...
13:56Next, please.
13:59Oh, that's a thing.
14:00That's a horse, but, I mean, the first one isn't.
14:03We need more on the puzzle.
14:03Yeah, we do.
14:04Next, please.
14:05Oh, that's four birds.
14:08Yeah, three birds.
14:08So, is it five, four, three, two?
14:09We need two.
14:10What's a two-bird food thing?
14:12Yeah.
14:13You could just say, like, a...
14:15Um...
14:15Hmm.
14:16Chicken and beef burger.
14:18No, the bacon beef...
14:20Bacon cheeseburger we had last night.
14:22Um, yeah.
14:22Because it's got two meat.
14:23Two seconds.
14:24Uh, two, bacon cheeseburger.
14:28Not it, I'm afraid.
14:30Sorcerers, you've got the chance of a bonus point.
14:32Two, chicken stuffed with duck.
14:34That wouldn't work either.
14:36So, you are clearly familiar with that hideous-sounding dish at Clue 3.
14:41I mean, turkey, duck and chicken, described in a word that I think could make vegetarians
14:47of us all, but the others aren't food.
14:50Uh-huh.
14:51It's about portmanteau words.
14:53Oh, OK.
14:54So, turducken is made of the words of the three birds.
14:58But that first one, it's a nickname for an area of Jakarta.
15:03It combines Jakarta, Bogor, Deepak, Tangerang and Bukazi.
15:08All of the names become Jaboditabek.
15:10Four, that's the great racehorse Aldeniti.
15:15Yeah.
15:15And the breeder, Tommy Baron, named it after his four grandchildren.
15:20That was four names, and so we wanted something that was two words put together.
15:24For example, Brexit.
15:27Sorcerers, what would you like?
15:28Twisted Flex, please.
15:29Twisted Flex.
15:30What would come fourth in this sequence is the first.
15:33Next.
15:34Next.
15:35Next.
15:36Next.
15:38Next.
15:39Next.
15:40Maybe the next one is going to be the most true
15:42to the next one.
15:44If you want to get to watch it, I want to go.
15:46Next.
15:48Chiang Kong is a space station.
15:50China's Space Station.
15:52China's Space Station.
15:54Distance from Earth is nice.
15:56Or maybe the distance from Earth is quite nice.
16:00Next.
16:02The most true space is going to be the most true
16:04No, I don't know.
16:06I mean, maybe...
16:08I don't know.
16:10Two seconds.
16:12The James Webb Telescope.
16:14Not the answer, I'm afraid.
16:16Pictures, do you want to go for a bonus point?
16:18Well, I mean, maybe Mere then?
16:20Mere. Let's go with Mere.
16:22Not it.
16:23This is objects orbiting Earth in order of heaviness.
16:29So, the Hubble Space Telescope, then the Chinese Space Station,
16:33then the International Space Station, it's just the moon.
16:36The moon is the heaviest thing.
16:38Oh, that's so good.
16:39Now, why do you think we've got the words,
16:41or possibly classified?
16:42Spy telescopes?
16:43Spy satellites?
16:44I don't know how heavy they are.
16:45Yeah, well, there's almost certainly something
16:47that's heavier than the Hubble Space Telescope
16:49but less heavy than the Chinese Space Station
16:51floating around up there.
16:52But officially, there are not.
16:56What would you like next?
16:57Water, please.
16:58Water.
16:59Water.
17:00And what would come forth in this sequence?
17:02Here's the first.
17:04I don't know any of these references, do you?
17:06Well, Banana Man's like a comic, a DC comics, I think.
17:09That's probably an address where you live.
17:11Next, please.
17:14Oh, so that's...
17:15Ramsey Street is where a lot of...
17:16Do they all live on, like, numbers?
17:18Are the numbers going up to something?
17:20I don't know what any of the numbers are.
17:21Who lives at number 64 or something?
17:23Let's go next.
17:24Next, please.
17:26I don't know what number they live in.
17:27I don't know.
17:28Is it musical number one?
17:30It could be Harry Potter in Privet Drive.
17:32It's one, two, three, four.
17:33Let's give that a go.
17:34Very good.
17:35Yeah, OK.
17:36Happy.
17:38The Dursleys and Harry Potter in the Harry Potter series,
17:42open brackets, Privet Drive, close brackets.
17:44Not it, I'm afraid.
17:46So, bonus chance for you, Sorcerers.
17:47The Simpsons in The Simpsons, Overgreen Terrace.
17:50I'm afraid that's not it later.
17:54You have calculated that there are house numbers in these works.
17:59So, Banana Man.
18:01This is 29 Acacia Road.
18:03And this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double life.
18:07For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs.
18:10Eric is...
18:11Well, I think it's been given away, hasn't it?
18:13Eating of the banana.
18:1429.
18:15The House of Trouser is number 30 Ramsey Street.
18:19Family Guy, they live at 31 Spooner Street.
18:22So, we need an example of 32 of a street.
18:25For example, The Browns in Paddington.
18:28They live at number 32.
18:29Windsor Gardens.
18:30Sorcerers, one question remains.
18:33Two reeds.
18:34These are going to be picture clues.
18:35What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
18:37Here's the first.
18:38Hello.
18:39Next.
18:40Next.
18:41Next.
18:42Next.
18:43Oh my god.
18:44Walk away.
18:45Walk away.
18:46Walk away.
18:47Fuck you.
18:48Oh, you've got no one to hold him.
18:49No one to fall.
18:50No one to walk away.
18:51No one to walk away.
18:52Oh, no.
18:53No, it's, it's gonna hold him.
18:54Okay, what is it?
18:55No one to walk away.
18:56No one to walk away.
18:57Okay.
18:58You got a no-wind hold of no-wind hold.
19:01No, it's Kenny Rogers.
19:03OK, it is.
19:04No, it's not.
19:06No, it won't.
19:09No, it won't.
19:11No, it won't.
19:13Two seconds.
19:15BELL RINGS
19:16Someone dealing cards.
19:18Not it, I'm afraid.
19:20Pictures, a bonus chance. Go on.
19:22Picture of John Major.
19:24It's Kenny Rogers.
19:26Why would it be John Major?
19:27Some sort of A in clue two.
19:29You see, it's not an A.
19:30What's happening at clue two?
19:32Hold them.
19:33Know when to fold them.
19:34Know when to walk away.
19:35Know when to...
19:36Run!
19:37Run!
19:38So, hold M.
19:39That's the joke.
19:40Know when to hold M.
19:41Know when to fold M.
19:43Know when to walk away.
19:45Know when to run.
19:47That means, at the end of round two,
19:49the sorcerers have two points,
19:50the pitchers have eight.
19:54Well, that was a tough round two,
19:56but I must say the connecting walls
19:57don't look much fun to me either.
19:59And with those welcoming words,
20:01sorcerers, what dark magic would you like?
20:03Lion or water?
20:05Water, please.
20:06The Water Wall.
20:07Two and a half minutes to solve it.
20:08Starting now.
20:10Okay, so we're going for Lordi,
20:13Tribune.
20:14There's...
20:15Zendaya.
20:16Okay.
20:17A Lordi.
20:18If we had Sweeney and Figaro,
20:19these are titled characters and others, right?
20:21Oh, there's some Figaro and Mons.
20:23There's newspapers.
20:24A Lordi's from...
20:25A Lordi, isn't it?
20:26Yeah, yeah.
20:27Australian is not the point.
20:28Yeah, maybe.
20:29What were you saying?
20:30Tribune?
20:31Tribune, Figaro, Mons.
20:32Figaro, Mons.
20:33Mondrian Echoes.
20:34Or Suntax?
20:35Or Suntax?
20:36Or Suntax?
20:37Newspapers.
20:38I might include Echoes,
20:39or the pluralist Weird.
20:40Do you know any others that are Newspapers?
20:42Oh, sorry.
20:43Are there just words for Sunday?
20:44So Suntax, Domingo, Domenica.
20:45Oh, Suntax, Domenica.
20:46Absolutely.
20:47Uh, Domenica?
20:48Yeah.
20:49What's our other one?
20:50Um...
20:51Oh, Nidziella.
20:52Uh, with E-N.
20:53Uh, this one?
20:54I think, yeah.
20:55No?
20:56Okay.
20:57There must be another.
20:58Pizarre, possibly.
20:59Oh, okay.
21:00So it might not be...
21:01Oh, but that means it might be a newspaper.
21:03Oh, yes.
21:04Yes.
21:05That would be a newspaper in Polish.
21:06Uh...
21:07Tribune, surely.
21:08Tribune?
21:09No.
21:10Okay.
21:11So Echoes, what is Echoes other than...
21:13Um...
21:14Show...
21:15Show...
21:16Show...
21:17Show...
21:18Show...
21:19Show...
21:20Show...
21:21Show...
21:22Show...
21:23Show...
21:24Show...
21:25Show...
21:26Show...
21:27Show...
21:28Show...
21:29Show...
21:30Show...
21:31I just don't know.
21:32Schaefer for Tim Schaefer.
21:33Right, sure.
21:34Yeah.
21:35And then who would you put as the other?
21:36Laudrey.
21:37I like some tag.
21:38Laudrey, sure.
21:39Uncertain.
21:40Okay.
21:41This is a brutal laugh.
21:42Yeah, where's Zendai from?
21:43Lorde in Laudy.
21:44Oh, it's...
21:45In Laudy.
21:46In Laudy.
21:47In Laudy, I love...
21:48Um...
21:49As, uh, Laudrey, Schaefer.
21:50In Laudy.
21:51In Laudy.
21:52In Laudy.
21:53In Laudy.
21:54In Laudy.
21:55In Laudy.
21:56In Laudy.
21:57In Laudy.
21:58In Laudy.
21:59In Laudy.
22:00In Laudy.
22:01In Laudy.
22:02In Laudy.
22:03In Laudy.
22:04In Laudy.
22:05In Laudy.
22:06Oh, okay.
22:07Oh, Sweeney Figaro.
22:08Sweeney Figaro.
22:09We never did anything worse.
22:10No, we didn't.
22:11It's true.
22:12It's all.
22:13Shit.
22:14I can only apologise.
22:17But you can get points for the connections, even though you didn't find the groups.
22:21So let's resolve the wall.
22:23There they are.
22:24Tell me about that first group, starting Mond.
22:27We think newspapers.
22:28Newspapers.
22:29They are all newspapers.
22:30They're French newspapers, in fact.
22:31I mean, there are various tribunes around the world.
22:34And the next group, Figaro, Zohan, Sweeney and Audrey.
22:38Is it musicals and operas?
22:40Well, they aren't all.
22:41In various works, they are all hairdressers.
22:45Of course.
22:46Figaro in the Bar of Seville and Sweeney Todd.
22:50But Audrey is from Coronation Street.
22:52And that second clue, don't mess with the Zohan.
22:55Yes.
22:56And the next group, I'm not even going to try to pronounce it, but what is that pink group?
23:00These are Sundays.
23:01They are words for Sunday.
23:03We've got the Polish word there, then.
23:05Zontag is German, Turkish and Italian.
23:08And the last group, Zendaya, Domingo and so on.
23:12They're actors in a specific film, potentially, but...
23:15Well, I'll give it to you for actors, because we often have a group which is just, you know,
23:19directors or something like that, so I'll give it to you.
23:21There's just one thing, actually, that they're all in, which is a show called Euphoria.
23:24Ah.
23:25Yeah.
23:26So, you didn't solve the wall, but you did get three points for the connections.
23:30Let's bring in your opponents and give them a horrible wall and see how they get on.
23:34Welcome, pitchers, and let's see if you feel welcome when you see your wall.
23:39You've got two and a half minutes, starting now.
23:44Allegro.
23:45Allegro, baby, baby grow.
23:47There's loads of love in there, amor.
23:49Oh, yeah, liber, amo, love and...
23:53Yeah.
23:54Oh, sorry, liber, not liber.
23:56Um...
23:57Ho, maybe?
23:58That could be Chinese?
23:59You'll be... Chinese is I.
24:00Oh, okay.
24:01Um...
24:02Tintoretto?
24:03Tintoretto, amoresso?
24:04Allegretto.
24:05Allegretto.
24:06Amore...
24:07Vaporetto, that's a thing.
24:08Libretto.
24:09Anything else?
24:10Libretto.
24:11Libretto.
24:12Okay, so I left out lib, so I'll leave a ammo.
24:13Let's keep it up.
24:14Oh, good.
24:15Um...
24:16Blackbird.
24:17Bye-bye, Blackbird.
24:18Bye-bye, baby.
24:19Bye-bye, bye.
24:20Yes!
24:21Yeah, well done.
24:22Bye-bye, love.
24:23Bye-bye, happiness, yeah, of course.
24:24Hey!
24:25But look at what we're left with here.
24:26Okay.
24:27Bodega's a shop.
24:28Yes, it is.
24:29Is it just shops?
24:30Well, afuatado, that sort of sounds like a grosses maybe.
24:32Yes.
24:33Bodega.
24:34Floor might be a flower shop in Spanish.
24:35Floor is a florist.
24:36These are Spanish shops.
24:37Then that would mean charcuterie.
24:39Like charcuterie, maybe.
24:40Yeah.
24:41And then the rest is love.
24:42Yeah, I like that.
24:43Whole might be viet or something.
24:45Yes!
24:46You solved the wall.
24:48I mean, well done indeed.
24:50What about the connections?
24:51Tell me about that first group starting Tinto.
24:54Hyphen R-E-T-T-O.
24:55Retto.
24:56So, Tintoretto, Vaporetto, Allegretto, Libretto.
24:58Exactly so.
24:59And the green group, baby, love and so on.
25:01Songs preceded by Bye-Bye.
25:03So, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye, love, etc.
25:05Very good.
25:06And the next group, floor, afrutado and so on.
25:10Vendors in Spanish, like shops.
25:13They are not vendors.
25:15They are Spanish, but they're terms to do with wine.
25:18Oh, OK.
25:19Yes.
25:20And the last group, ammo and so on.
25:22Love.
25:23Yeah.
25:24Love in different languages.
25:25Exactly so.
25:26So, ammo in Latin, Ljubim is Slovenian, Lieber, German.
25:30And who is actually Dutch?
25:32Oh.
25:33But you solved the wall and you gave me three connections.
25:35That's a total of seven.
25:36Let's have a look at the scores going into round four.
25:40The Sorcerers have five points.
25:42The Pitchers have 15.
25:46So, a bit of a challenge for you here, Sorcerers.
25:48I have faith in you.
25:50Missing vowels time.
25:52Fingers on buzzer teams.
25:53The first group of disguised clues are all minced oaths.
26:00Pitchers?
26:01Quakey.
26:02Correct.

27:22Inspector Morse and Blood.
27:23Yes, he does.
27:27Pitchers?
27:28Batman and Bats.
27:29Correct.
27:34No time to tell me Indiana Jones and Snakes, because the bell has gone for the end of the quiz and looking at the final scores, the winners and through to the semifinals with 25 points are the pitchers.
27:46Sorcerers, you finish with eight and my undying gratitude and affection for not shouting more oaths during that first missing vowels category.
27:57What a nice team.
27:58It didn't fall your way tonight, but thank you so very much for playing.
28:02And thank you for watching.
28:03Let's have a little bit of our old friend John Milton.
28:06A little bit of paradise lost for the end of the evening.
28:09And we've got to hear.
28:11If thou beest he, but oh, how fallen, how changed from him who in the happy realms of light clothed with transcendent brightness didst outshine myriads though bright.
28:22If he who mutual league united thoughts and councils equal hope.
28:27But I think that's enough hell for one night, don't you?
28:30Goodbye.
28:31Goodbye.
28:32Bye.
28:38Bye.
28:40Bye.
28:41Bye.
28:54Bye.
28:57Bye.
28:59You
