00:00Hello and welcome to Only Connect where we have reached the semi final stage. What a stage and
00:23what a great series it's been so far. We've had some lovely new teams, some brilliant quizzing
00:28and the channel are very happy with the added value. You'll remember we were asked to become
00:33more educational to justify our share of the licence fee so I've been throwing in extra
00:39wisdom, extra knowledge as the weeks go by and it's gone very well. This week I'm going to give
00:44you the words of the great Nobel laureate Saul Bellow who said one can't tell writers what to do
00:50the imagination must find its own path and when my friend Sean and I were thinking about these
00:56introductions we let our imaginations find the path to the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations
01:02in the library. The semi finalists joining me tonight are, on my right, Matt Rowland, a maths
01:11teacher who made ice lollies for Heston Blumenthal at the Fat Duck. Dimitri Samarasinger, a commercial
01:18planner who has watched 78 of the Oscar winners for Best Picture. And their captain, Damien Evans,
01:24a retail space planner who has parasailed on Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. Crazy about
01:31the clockwork orange in Glasgow, they are the Metrophiles. You had a bit of a rout in your
01:36quarter final, didn't you? Against a fantastic team. Why was that, do you think?
01:41Questions sometimes fall your way, I think, personally. What do you, did you have an answer?
01:45Damien was desperately trying to avoid another tiebreaker, which we got in our second round.
01:50Well, very well done for making the semi-finals. You are up against, on my left, Fiona Titcombe,
01:56a software developer who became seasick watching Life of Pi in 3D. Thomas Carey, a software tester
02:04who represented Germany at the World Scrabble Championship. And their captain, James Horton,
02:09a software developer who is currently learning Spanish and Japanese. Keen to exercise both body
02:15and mind, they are the 5Ks. So, the park run, that's where you get your name from. What is it?
02:21Well, basically, I mean, they're all over the country and every Saturday morning at nine o'clock,
02:27people gather in their local park and run 5K. They do several of these park runs here in Cardiff.
02:33Have you ever tried one here? We did one this morning. Stop it. And thankfully they showered.
02:38I notice you say they, James. Yeah, I was not doing it today. There was a buffet instead.
02:45Well, let's see if that park run you did this morning has set you in good stead for the match
02:50or exhausted you early. Please choose an Egyptian hieroglyph. Could we have the lion, please?
02:56Yes, you could. What collects these clues? Here's the first. Arsenal.
03:01It could be lots of things. Yeah, in Venice. Next, please.
03:07Oh, this area is of Venice, do you think? Because they are still in Venice.
03:12Ghetto is an Italian word, innit? Go for it. Yeah, let's go for it.
03:17We will try Venice. That is the connection. Very well done. English words, of course,
03:23but what do they relate to? There is an area called the Arsenal in Venice.
03:29Yeah, Arsenal, it would be. I'm not too sure about the ghetto.
03:32Well, it originates from the Jewish quarter in Venice. There are words a bit like ghetto from
03:38earlier languages, but that popularised the term that we use for ghettos around the world.
03:42Yeah. When we say lagoon, it starts from a reference to the cavity around Venice that's
03:47filled with water. And that last clue, it separates the lagoon of Venice from the Adriatic Sea.
03:53And, of course, we say Lido to mean a swimming pool, all sorts of things,
03:56but referring to the original Venice Lido. Metrophiles, what would you like?
04:01Twisted flax, please. Twisted flax. What connects these clues? Here's the first.
04:06I just want one second to get something L. Anything?
04:11No, I've got nothing on the line. OK. Next, please.
04:14I haven't watched any job by the Jaguars one.
04:18Is it something that goes before L and D, we think?
04:20Yeah, L and D, it is. I don't know what L. OK, next, please.
04:25How's that larger? 26 years.
04:27Something loud. Is it, uh, is it Hollywood?
04:30Oh, it's the land, yeah, yeah. I don't know what the...
04:35So, remove the land, remove...
04:37Uh, take a look at the land.
04:40We think that, uh, these are examples of where they've removed
04:44something from the Hollywood, Hollywood sign.
04:47All about amendments to the Hollywood sign. What can you tell me about these clues?
04:52I'm assuming they probably went with Holy-wood, did they, to celebrate John Paul II?
04:57It was a temporary thing. I mean, we don't know who did it.
04:59Someone crept up in the night to put a black tarp over it
05:02so that it read Hollywood. The second clue, do you know about that?
05:06Does it just say Holly-woo in the titles or something?
05:09Yeah, so there's a character called Diane and someone steals the D for Diane
05:12to try and impress her and then they just refer to it as Holly-woo
05:16for the rest of the show. That's right.
05:18After 26 years, they took the sign off. It was originally Hollywoodland.
05:22And then the Olympics in 2028, digitally, they imposed some extra O's
05:26to make the Olympic rings.
05:27Back to the 5Ks for a choice. Can we have the Hotton Viper, please?
05:31Yes, you can. These are going to be picture clues.
05:33What do they have in common? Here's the first.
05:36So that's the peace symbol.
05:38Like that. We need another. Next, please.
05:40Bluetooth. Bluetooth.
05:42And after Harold, Bluetooth. Could these all be runes?
05:45Oh, maybe. Because if you take out the circle, there's like a runic thing.
05:49Shall we get another? Anything?
05:51I don't really know if it helped, to be honest.
05:53Maybe go for it. The logo's based on runes.
05:55OK. Let's do it.
06:00We'll try runes.
06:02Not the answer, so I'm going to show all four clues to the Metrophiles
06:05for a possible bonus point.
06:06Are they just a superposition of two different symbols laid on top of each other?
06:09It is about two different symbols superimposed.
06:12And unlucky, because good knowledge at clue two, those are runes.
06:16It's the runic representation of H and B for Harold Bluetooth, King Harold of Denmark.
06:21But that first one, that's not runes. Do you know what that is?
06:23That's the old CND logo.
06:25It's the CND logo and it's semaphore for N and D, nuclear disarmament.
06:31The power symbol, of course, that's just symbols for a closed circuit and an open circuit.
06:35And that last clue, it's a chi-ro. It's chi and ro, the first two letters of Christ in Greek.
06:43Very well done. So you get the bonus point. And what would you like for your own question?
06:46Could we have the water, please?
06:48Yes, you could. Water.
06:51The music question, here's your first clue.
06:54My baby loves me, I'm so happy.
06:57That is all right, please.
06:59Happy makes me a modern girl.
07:01Took my money, my money.
07:04Next, please.
07:05It's fun to stay at the YMCA.
07:10It's a nice-looking situation.
07:11It's a nice-looking situation.
07:13Next, please.
07:14Baby, if you've got to go, stay another day.
07:18You said to stay another day.
07:20Won't you say another day?
07:22Won't you say another day?
07:24Yeah.
07:26Next, please.
07:27Can't take away the baby's part.
07:32Two seconds.
07:34Are they kind of areas of cities or, like, things going larger?
07:39I need to hear something very specific.
07:41Are they part of New York?
07:42Not it, I'm afraid.
07:44Five Ks?
07:45Do you want to have a go for a bonus?
07:46The name of the acts are named after areas of particular cities.
07:50I need something more specific than that.
07:53So, London?
07:53Not it, I'm afraid.
07:55Yeah.
07:56The acts are named after the places they originated.
08:00Oh, no.
08:01So, the first one, Slater Kinney, that's named after Slater Kinney Road in Washington.
08:06East 17, well, that is in London.
08:08They were all from East 17, that postcode.
08:11Chicago was the last one.
08:12And the village people, the founders weren't from the village.
08:17I mean, two of them were French, but they went to Greenwich Village to recruit.
08:22They put an advert in a newspaper in the village,
08:25macho types wanted, must dance and have moustaches.
08:29And they certainly got their wish.
08:30But one of the founders, Victor Willis, he was from Dallas, not gay.
08:33He was married to Felicia Rashad.
08:36Was she Bill Cosby's wife in The Cosby Show?
08:38Yes.
08:39Claire Huxtable from The Cosby Show.
08:41But he particularly wanted to be surrounded by macho types who could dance
08:45and had moustaches, and don't we all?
08:48So, five Ks, what would you like next?
08:49Two reads, please.
08:50The two reads.
08:52What connects these clues is the first.
08:55Too much confusion.
08:58Is this like a lyric or a line from something?
09:00Yeah, it could be.
09:01Next, please.
09:03Wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill.
09:06It's like, I don't recognise this.
09:08Don't recognise this either.
09:09It's from like a book or a film or something.
09:10Next, please, Victor.
09:12Right, so serious, oh, so this is Joker The Dark Knight.
09:15It was on the poster.
09:18Are these all quotes from The Joker or from Batman villains or something?
09:20The first two really don't ring a bell.
09:23Next, please, Victor.
09:25They speak of the punk artists of the North.
09:28Are they just?
09:29Two seconds.
09:31Uh, yeah, can try that.
09:34Quotes that have appeared on movie posters.
09:36Not it, I'm afraid.
09:37Metrophiles, do you know?
09:39Are they all things said by a Joker in different formats?
09:42They are said by Jokers.
09:45What can you tell me about the clues?
09:46The Joker to the thief said there's too much confusion
09:48in all along the Watchtower.
09:50According to...
09:50Jimi Hendrix.
09:52Or Bob Dylan.
09:52Yeah, Bob Dylan was the writer, famously covered by Jimi Hendrix.
09:56Private Joker in Full Metal Jacket said he wants to be the first kid to get first kill on the block.
10:01Very good.
10:02Why so serious?
10:03You knew that's Heath Ledger's Joker in Batman.
10:05And the last one?
10:07That is from the song The Joker by the Steve Miliband.
10:10Exactly, by Steve Miliband.
10:11I speak of the pompatus of love and nobody ever knows what that means.
10:15I actually looked it up on Wikipedia.
10:16It says it's a nonce word.
10:18I stopped reading there, but I'm told it means it was just a made-up word.
10:22No point trying to find out what it means.
10:24Yeah.
10:25One question remains.
10:26The eye of Horus, what can you tell me about these clues?
10:29Here's the first.
10:33That means nothing at all.
10:37Next, please.
10:38Um, that was 1763, possibly.
10:55Did something happen on those days?
10:56Did they all land on the good day?
11:00Next, please.
11:08I don't think we have an answer.
11:13In that case, I can't give you any points.
11:15A bonus chance for you, 5Ks?
11:17Yeah.
11:18Were they all ended with treaties that were signed in a particular place?
11:22For example?
11:23Paris.
11:24They all ended with treaties of Paris.
11:27Very well done.
11:28There are lots and lots of treaties of Paris,
11:30and four of them apply to these situations.
11:33Well done.
11:34And that means at the end of round one,
11:36the Metrophiles have four points,
11:38the 5Ks have four points.
11:42On to round two, the sequence is round.
11:445Ks, you're going first again.
11:46What would you like?
11:46Could we have the water, please?
11:49Yes, you could.
11:49What would come forth in this sequence?
11:52Here's the first.
11:54Sleeping in a bed with sheep.
11:57Sheets can be sailed.
11:58Is that an anagram?
12:01Next, please.
12:03Drinking to accept.
12:04It's sort of...
12:06Is it just...
12:07Yeah.
12:07Not just...
12:08Next, please.
12:10Killing another animal.
12:12I mean, these all look like, sort of, crimes or things that were...
12:15Oh, could it be like Ten Commandments?
12:17Oh, maybe.
12:18But what would be the last one?
12:19Gun murder.
12:20Drunkenness.
12:22Drunkenness.
12:23Killing another animal.
12:25Two seconds.
12:25Oh, it's a sequence.
12:28Yeah.
12:29We will try going against the opinion of Snowball.
12:38Not the answer, I'm afraid.
12:39Metrophiles, do you know?
12:41Four legs bad, two legs good.
12:42Unlucky.
12:43That's at the other end of the sequence.
12:44So, what is the sequence?
12:47Animal Farm.
12:48George Orwell's Animal Farm.
12:49So, they set up their commandments,
12:51and then as the pigs gradually acquire power, they amend them.
12:55Right.
12:56And the seventh is, although we are all equal,
13:00some animals are more equal than others.
13:03OK.
13:04Metrophiles, what would you like?
13:06Twisted flax, please.
13:07The twisted flax.
13:08What would come forth in this sequence is the first.
13:10This, hang on, this might be that, in that year,
13:20you are the square root of the year,
13:23because this year is a square root year,
13:26and some people are turning their square root of this year in their age.
13:29OK.
13:3120.
13:32Can I do the maths in time to make that work?
13:33Yeah, 2,000 people pointing to 2,000.
13:35I think it's about right.
13:36Turn 25 to 25?
13:37I would say, yeah.
13:38Yeah.
13:38Do you agree with that?
13:39From their age in the root of the year.
13:41Shall we do that?
13:42Yes.
13:42Let's do it.
13:45Good luck.
13:45Could I pass it to Matt?
13:47I think people in the second year...
13:50We need the fourth, don't we?
13:51Oh, oh, 2025.
13:56So, people...
13:56People born in 2000 turned 25 in 2025.
14:01Not it, I'm afraid.
14:035Ks, do you want to have a go for a bonus?
14:05People born in 1980 turned 45 in 2025.
14:09Yeah, 25 square.
14:11Very, very well done.
14:12But I'm going to stop to express some sympathy to you, Matt.
14:15I have warned you about the curse of the maths teacher coming on this show.
14:21Yours was the moment of genius.
14:23You looked at clue one.
14:24You understood immediately 42 is the square root of 1764.
14:30People that were born in 1722, that's when they turned 42.
14:34You did all the work but forgot it's a sequence.
14:38You had a light bulb moment and you were unlucky.
14:41What would you like for your own sequence?
14:43Brutal and lucky there, guys.
14:44Go on, Tom.
14:45The Eye of Horus, please.
14:46Eye of Horus.
14:48This is going to be a series of pictures.
14:50What would you expect to see in the fourth picture?
14:52Here's the first.
14:55So, that's Dulwich.
14:55Dulwich Hamlet's name.
14:57Oh, could it be going up like Hamlet Village, Town City?
14:59Should we get another one at least?
15:02Maybe, but I reckon it's just going to be a city.
15:04But we've gone first.
15:05Yeah, that's true.
15:06Manchester City.
15:07Next, please.
15:07That's probably a village.
15:10Just say Man City.
15:11Oh, God, do we have to say Man City?
15:13Can we say Bristol City?
15:14Fine.
15:18We'll try a photo of a Bristol City kit.
15:23I am going to give you the points, but we are going to sit here
15:26until you tell me the name of the kit that we chose for the fourth picture.
15:32We're looking at Dulwich Hamlet, Franz and Freid Village...
15:36Cardiff City.
15:37Cardiff City.
15:38Come on.
15:39Nevertheless, I'm afraid any city would get you the points.
15:42So, well done.
15:43Metrophiles, what would you like?
15:45Could we have the two reads, please?
15:47Yes, you could.
15:48What would come forth in this sequence?
15:50Here's the first.
15:51Do you want anything to know?
15:54There's nothing to know.
15:55There's nothing to know.
15:56Or not.
15:57Does it mean the two words of the...
15:59Dynamic.
16:00OK, next, please.
16:03That's Case of R, isn't it?
16:04Yes.
16:05I think we need the next one, don't we?
16:06Yeah.
16:07Next, please.
16:11Do you know that one?
16:12Shakespearean, OK?
16:13Well done with the last one, have you?
16:16I have not heard of those.
16:18Anything?
16:18I don't know.
16:19I don't know.
16:19They don't ring a bell for signing.
16:21Like something like that.
16:22Two seconds.
16:25Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatio.
16:28I cannot accept that answer, I'm afraid.
16:32Five Ks, do you want to have a go?
16:33Is this a dagger I see before me?
16:36Not it.
16:38So, you know that that second clue is a translation of...
16:41Que sera sera.
16:42Que sera sera.
16:43The first one, a translation of the Latin sine qua non.
16:48Shame to whoever thinks evil of it is a translation of
16:53So, we have got the words
16:54Qua, quay, quay.
16:59So, we want something with quo in it.
17:00So, like quid pro quo, something for something.
17:04Five Ks, what would you like?
17:05Horned Viper, please.
17:07OK.
17:08What would come forth in this sequence?
17:10Here's the first.
17:12Bicycle Thieves.
17:13That is a film.
17:13Yeah.
17:16It's Italian.
17:16Next, please.
17:18Citizen Kane.
17:19Oh, oh, it's the sight and sound.
17:22It's the sight and sound poll.
17:23It's the top film.
17:24It's like Jean d'Ellman.
17:26So, do you know what won it in 2022?
17:28Yeah, it's Jean d'Ellman.
17:29So, the next one's 30-go and then it's Jean d'Ellman.
17:31Brilliant.
17:34The film that begins, Jean d'Ellman, then in parentheses, 2022.
17:38Very, very good.
17:38Yes, 23 quays du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles would be the full title.
17:43Yes, this is the critics poll and what topped it.
17:46And it was always Citizen Kane.
17:47But, you know, everyone's a contrarian now,
17:49so it had to be something else.
17:50Have you seen this film?
17:51Yeah, I have.
17:52Is he better than Citizen Kane?
17:54I think the most exciting thing that happens in it
17:55is someone drops a potato at one point.
17:58It's an interesting film, the mundanity of life.
18:00Oh.
18:00Well, that sounds like a bit of a busman's holiday.
18:04Metrophiles, one question remains.
18:06The lion.
18:07What would come forth in this sequence?
18:09Here's the first.
18:12On stamps.
18:12Stamps, coins.
18:13It could be a different one.
18:15Yeah.
18:16Next, please.
18:20Mostly.
18:24Do you have to explain it mostly?
18:26Mostly?
18:27No, I don't know.
18:27Take it on.
18:28Next, please.
18:33Are these on the most common,
18:34are these on the most common, like, currencies?
18:36Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, okay, so...
18:38Is it on the most common currency?
18:40Yeah, it could be, yeah.
18:41It could be of George Washington, yeah.
18:42It could be of George Washington, yeah.
18:44Two seconds.
18:45Do you think?
18:47Yeah, go for it.
18:47Um, we'll go for an image of George Washington.
18:51Would be an acceptable answer.
18:53And why?
18:54Are these most, like, um, most used currencies, perhaps?
18:57And, uh, what's on, what features on...
19:00Yeah, the most traded currencies.
19:02And what are those currencies?
19:04The pound, I'm assuming, and then the yen,
19:08the euro, and the US dollar.
19:11Exactly so.
19:12Well done.
19:13That means, at the end of round two,
19:15the Metrophiles have six points, the 5Ks have 11.
19:21Time for the connecting wall.
19:23Metrophiles, you have got the choice, lion or water?
19:26Uh, lion, please.
19:28Lion, two and a half minutes to solve it.
19:30Starting now.
19:34There's a bone, yeah.
19:35One clod.
19:36Drakensburg Mountains.
19:37There's some chemicals doing them.
19:39Radius is a bone.
19:40Yeah, try to reduce.
19:43Atlas is in here, I think.
19:44Atlas.
19:45Go with Atlas in that fourth wave.
19:48Leave that F-boy for now.
19:51Uh, is that all there?
19:53Uh, there could be...
19:54Like, Nuba could be something up there.
19:55Dombian Sun, so from, um, Sense and Sensibility,
19:58Crime and Punishment, 19th century novels,
20:00Heart, War and Peace.
20:01There's a few there, aren't there?
20:03Yeah, do it.
20:04There you go.
20:05I think one clod might be.
20:07Um, what did you say, sir?
20:08I was gonna say, uh, Drakensburg, Atlas, Ogo, Nuba,
20:11the African Mountains, right?
20:12Atlas Mountains, yeah.
20:13Drakensburg in South Africa, isn't it?
20:15Uh, very good.
20:16Radius, and which one did you?
20:18Nuba?
20:18Nuba and Ogo, that's all.
20:21Nuba, I think it's in Sudan, I think.
20:23Yeah.
20:24Ethmoid could be...
20:25Maybe Ogo?
20:25So, I'll keep trying that.
20:28If you keep going...
20:28Sixth Sense...
20:30Uh...
20:31I'm gonna just keep trying...
20:33Spider-Sense.
20:35Uh...
20:35Is there a...
20:37Do, do, do, do, do...
20:39You can also try those bones a little bit, I suppose.
20:41I bet you said Sense Mountains.
20:42Uh, yeah, bird bone...
20:44Ethmoid?
20:45Radius, we've done that.
20:47Did you say...
20:48I don't know, Ian.
20:49Is one clod an anagram?
20:51I think it's gotta be an anagram.
20:52I don't know what I've...
20:53No, I'm gonna just keep going.
20:56Yeah, you keep going with the bones.
20:58Maybe Drakensburg, I'm saying.
21:00I'm sure Atlas, can you?
21:05No, I'm sorry.
21:06One clod might be like the etymology of...
21:08One clog.
21:09Something.
21:10I don't know what it is.
21:11Ogo.
21:12I'm gonna keep going with the mountain.
21:13Yeah, mountain.
21:13Mounted, actually.
21:14You can, like, trap...
21:15Ogo, of course.
21:16I'll keep short straight.
21:17Trypog.
21:18Trypog?
21:18Yeah, I'll have tripod.
21:19Uh...
21:20Ten seconds.
21:21No.
21:22Time's up and the wall has frozen.
21:32You've found a group.
21:33Please tell me what connects Crime, Dombey, Pride and War.
21:36This is the first half of 19th century novels.
21:40So, Crime and Punishment, Dombey and Son, Pride and Prejudice, War and Peace.
21:43And you can get points for the connections in the groups you didn't find.
21:45So, let's resolve the wall.
21:48Atmos, clavicle and so on.
21:50Are they just bones in the human body?
21:52They are the bones.
21:54Drakensberg, Hogarth and so on.
21:56Are these mountain ranges in Africa?
21:59They are the African mountain ranges.

22:15They are anagrams of German cities.
22:18There is an anagram of Munster.
22:19Also, Cologne, Dresden and Essen.
22:23But you did find one group and give me three connections.

24:37Your time is up and the wall is frozen.
24:39But you found a group, please tell me what connects.
24:41Much, Onion Camp and so on.
24:43They are anagrams of words for friend.
24:46Anagrams of words for friend.
24:48And you can get points for the connections in the groups
24:50you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
24:53There we are.
24:54John, Will, Alan, Tuck.
24:56Are these friars?
24:57No, you see, they're not friar.

25:03Little John, Will Scarlet, Alan O'Dale.
25:06All just Merry Men.
25:07And the next group, Stable, Stale and so on.
25:10Should we try it?

25:13It's a word one.
25:14You can put mate after all of them.
25:17Stable mate, stalemate, soul mate, house mate.
25:20And the last group, Hammer, Pebble, Skip and Bonspiel.
25:23These curling terms?
25:25Those are the curling terms.
25:26So, Bonspiel is a tournament, a curling tournament.
25:28So, you found one group.
25:29You gave me two connections.
25:31That's a total of three points.
25:32Let's have a look at the overall scores.
25:35The Metrophiles have 10 points.

27:41Well played.
27:41Fantastic quizzing from all of you.
27:44Let's have a look at a little bit of John Milton.
27:47You'll remember we're at the bit where Lucifer has fallen from heaven.
27:51He's become Satan and he's conversing with Beelzebub about his battle with God.
27:57So much the stronger proved, says Satan, he with his thunder.
28:01Until then, who knew the force of those dire arms?
28:05Yet not for those, nor what the potent victor in his rage can else inflict,
28:10do I repent or change, though changed in outward lustre.
28:14Metrophiles, you have nothing to repent or change.
28:17You are in the third place playoffs.
28:20Many congratulations to you.
28:22And good luck to those potent victors in the final.
28:26Goodbye.
28:28Good luck.
28:34All right.
28:36Hey.
28:37Good luck to this!
