Only Connect 2x03

hello and welcome to only connect a simple little quiz where all the contestants have to do is work out the connections between various clues which is a bit like saying that all NASA has to do is point it at the moon our teams need a wide enough frame of reference to cover everything from the music of Bono to the teaching of de Bono and God help them if they get those two mixed up I know I do but I'm unlikely to mix up our two teams tonight because their provinces are very different on my right it's the history boys they are Rob Hanna a quiz setter with a BA and performance writing the beautifully named Craig element sounds like a Martin Amos character but he is in fact a computer programmer with a degree in psychology and their captain gareth kingston a freelance consultant from bedford sure they aren't the history boys so Gareth what qualifies you to be the history boys well I've got a deep love of history thanks to some inspirational teachers I have when I was younger and went on to do a history degree my key interest I suppose a colonial history French Revolution modern European history Craig loves his classical world and Rob is a little bit of a magpie likes a little bit of various different historical periods and your friends ever say forget the past live in the now I choose not to associate with such people quiet right quiet right well tonight you'll be associating with a difficult set of opponents the rugby boys they are Richard Parnell and ex placement and holiday rep who now teaches English as a foreign language there's a career trajectory mark Lovett a teacher from Newport and their captain Gary Dermody the steward at the recreational Club where the team meets they are the rugby boys Kari you're the captain so you all love quizzes and rugby it's an unusual combination well we're still quizzing our rugby days are behind us but we all support the game of rugby and the club which I'm a member which I run is one of the largest in terms of membership rugby clubs in South Wales so in a sense at school you guys were the geeks and the jocks yes Renaissance men press straight on with round one I believe the history boys won the toss so you'll be going first round one very simple I simply want to know what is the connection between the four Clues you're going to see but if you can tell me after seeing only one clue you'll get five points if you see two clues three points three clues two points and if you see all four clues you get one point but if you give me a wrong answer or don't answer at all I will throw it over for a possible bonus so history boys please have a look at the Greek letters and select one can we have alpha please alpha you're going to have 40 seconds your first clue is coming up shout next when you want another one the time starts now we believe that these are GU protected food products that can only produce within a certain geographical area you want absolutely correct you're going to get two points the last clue was melton mowbray pork pies very impressive I'd also accepted they're all things I'm going to have a breakfast tomorrow I'm very suggestible but very good so rugby boys your

symbols respectively of Sheffield London Edinburgh and Birmingham you always think the first answer is a rugby one don't you visit me yes is it a sporting out from is it a rugby question yes what do you think the chances are that we get a team of rugby boys and the answer to everything we may have in the home well maybe later in the show you never know so history boys let's come back to you to pick a letter don't sir please Delta first clue coming up time starts now next place ten seconds five seconds is it something to do with after they all were saying after they died they were so that's the connection yeah and when the connection is suppose sleep I'm going to have to stop you there I'm sorry that was the best chance I could give you but I can't accept that so I'm going to throw it over to the rugby boys I think it's inbound so she wants to be involved in the others half been going to give you that boy that went wrong I think history boys you say they've been in Banda tilda swinton is very much alive to embalmer at this point would would seem cruel they have all been at some stage on display in glass cases that's a turn on a plate in Tiananmen Square Snow White after she ate the poisoned Apple Lindo manacles at the British Museum Tilda Swinton was in a glass box at the serpentine for a piece of art called the maybe no points you were close but no so rugby boys there is only one letter available so you're going to be having Zeta thank you time starts now good next next something something was in that next place mentioned the German words words other words that can be translated into German as in the Poconos it is part is mobilized mere sham is the type of material I make pipes out other descriptions of German was if you were German you'd have been able to do all that in one word with nouns bolted together but I'm going to accept it you've stumbled away were than it towards the ants which is they're all literal translations of German words that have passed into English super mere sham homejoy schadenfreude oh that's right now you said that one and it was poltergeist and blitzkrieg that means at the end of round one the history boys are on two points but the rugby boys are on an impressive seven points in round two the clues start appearing in order I want the team to tell me not what the connection is but what's forth in the sequence that means you'll never see all four clues you'll see one two or three depending on how quickly you buzz in five three or two points available you have to tell me what's forth of the sequence history boys you'll be going first again so please pick a letter alpha please alpha the first in a sequence will be coming up I'd like you to tell me what comes forth time starts now next question is it next please what's the relationship between these look twenty seconds six could be 1812 so could be six it would be 84 I mean you're under 10 seconds now 84 not the answer I'm looking for so from rugby boys do want to have a go 60 why would it be sick it's the equal angle of the regular shape so that's 120 is a regular hexagon 108's regular pentagon 90s a square and 60s an equilateral triangle that's it

third and final room absolutely correct third in the sequence tepidarium and you get three points for Frigidaire I suppose now that is an advantage of sportsmen popular again now isn't it even in my house you can jump in and out of boiling and freezing balls that's just cuz the boiler doesn't work but I'm sure if you go to sporting spas you have seen that still in use today so history boys come on you can do it time to catch up epsilon please epsilon first in a sequence coming up what's fourth times that's now musical next rest ice compression elevation elevation why would you say that it's thinking back to my first-aid training its rest ice compression elevation on a sprained ankle or something like that absolutely correct frequency do that's why people say treat a sprain with rice it's led to many Allgood misunderstandings but that's what we like to see well-deserved points rugby boys what would you like gamma is gamma first clue coming up what sports time starts now could be Sheree's next next rain isn't specific five seconds we better press stormy not the answer I'm looking for history boys gonna go for those unsettled I'm afraid that's not feet I either rub you boys you were in the right area words on a barometer but after change would come range I like the fact that your your mind went immediately to Sherry that's what you think our first but no rain was the answer I was looking for so history boys which letter you seek to please Zita first of the secrets coming up now this is going to be a picture round so I'm going to ask you what would you expect to see in the fourth picture first clue coming up time starts now next raindrops on whiskers on perfumers whiskers on kittens well admittance warm woolen mittens yes that's right third in sequence of bright copper kettles but my favorite things in the sound of music I'm ashamed here's the thing I've always found odd do you know also in that song doorbells is one of the things doorbells and sleigh bells

one clue remaining so rugby boys you are going to have Delta first in the signals coming up what's bought time starts now the first post can but I don't know no good next well hang on this rings a bell that means the next Yellin Canal Lake Huron why would that be there the connection of the waterways through the north of Canada is in Lawrence Seaway you almost couldn't be further away from the correct answer so history boys do you want to have a go for a bonus I'm afraid that's not in the sequence would be Wade they are editors of this Sun in order their wait was worth not rivers at all so at the end of Round two the history boys have improved to an excellent eight points but the rugby boys are still well in front with 11 points so it's round three the connecting wall this time each team will see a blaze of 60 in clues I want the teams to sort them into four connected groups of four some of the clues may come into more than one category but there's only one complete correct solution rugby boys you're going to be going first this time let me tell you what's available one point for each group you correctly identify a bonus point for each connection you can tell me and two bonus points if you get them all correct your first decision is would you like connecting wall alpha or beta alpha okay the elf wall is coming up you've got two and a half minutes they start now it's
