[Music] so [Music] hello and welcome to only connect the challenging super difficult quiz with contestants so sharp that we're not allowed to run with them in case we trip over and a contestant goes in someone's eye it's an interesting match up this time we've got the insurers against the gamblers which is essentially a clash between pessimism and optimism i'm going to assume that one team's already booked a cab home and the other team has booked a celebration party so let's hope it's not a draw because then everyone's disappointed especially me because it'll mean a tiebreak and i've got to be somewhere so let's hurry up and meet them to my right the insurers stephen gore a compliance consultant and aficionado of the opera with a degree in history chris miller an oxford mass graduate and i.t security consultant who enjoys astronomy and their captain peter davis also an oxford mass graduate and an investment consultant who enjoys coaching tennis in his spare time goodness you must need a lot of insurance to do that just think what could go wrong absolutely yes but you're not actually insurance brokers well we used to work for the same insurance company and then we couldn't take the excitement so now we're all doing our own consulting work all right well i hope you can take the excitement of the quiz good luck let's meet your opponents on my left the gamblers jenny ryan an aspiring scriptwriter and she says a demon poker player but is she bluffing alan gibbs a pharmaceutical researcher with a weakness for sports betting of any kind and their captain dave bill an ex-bookie and pub landlord who splits his stake money between the track and the roulette wheel dave you play roulette easily to win when he's with to lose it a very easy way to lose it what about the track you bet on the dogs as well um dogs a few times mostly the horses but are you in it for the fun or the money the money okay i'll not lie to you well you're not going to get any money on this show gloriously but that's the most important thing good luck both teams let's press on with round one in round one the team simply have to tell me what is the connection between four clues but the fewer clues you need to see before telling me the connection the more points you can get five three two and one points available the insurers won the toss i see you've put the gamblers in first so gamblers you will be first to select a greek letter from our lovely board alpha please okay the first clue is coming up shout next when you're ready to see another one starting now next is it bodies that of water that are frozen over that's right that is the years they last froze over well done that's a point to you insurers please pick a letter epsilon please epsilon your first clue is coming up time starts now three in italian yes next [Music] they are numbers in european languages i'm afraid i'm going to have to ask you to tell me a little bit more than that trey is three in italian fear is four in german i'm going to give you one more go and bear in mind this is a pretty exact quiz we don't like vagueness i wouldn't accept for example they're all words try to be a little more specific it'll be five for something rather be fine there'll be five and six i'm afraid i just can't give it to you so i'm going to show the next two clues to your opponents the gamblers oh it's is it foreign foreign numbers which have got the same number of letters that's right yeah foreign foreign numbers have got the same number of letters as the number not all four and four is english of course that is the right answer they are numbers the names of which contain the same number of letters as the number itself i'm sorry about that insurers but we're looking for really tight connections here so that's a bonus to you gamblers and you may pick your own letter gamma please gamma first clue coming up these are going to be picture clues first one coming now should have gone they're all bingo calls clear the door legs 11. that's absolutely right do you want to guess what would have come next two fat ladies two little ducks there they are two little ducks two fat ladies are you bingo players i play a bit of bingo but if you go to the proper bingo holes they don't use the traditional calls but it's really good i myself am terrible at bingo i i went along once you get these old ladies there who do 19 cards at once they're crazily good at it some sort of magical voodoo do play three times a day every day so well done gamblers you get three points for getting it after just two clues and we're back to the insurers to pick a letter peter please beta your first clue is coming up time starts now next [Music] 10 seconds next five seconds [Music] time is up so there's another possible bonus chance for you gamblers i believe that's when they all have the knighthood stripped they were all nice to the realm and had them withdrawn that is absolutely right they had their knighthoods taken away do you know what for mcgarvey for various things i'm presuming um caravaggio killed someone i think he was a double agent so the that might have been treason as well that's pretty much correct caravaggio's the best one he lost his knighthood for the crime of brawling with seven armed knights very well done for the bonus point and it is now your turn to pick a question delta please okay this is going to be the sound or music question so you'll be hearing the clues first one starting now this is going to be from madame butterfly [Music] next please [Music] 10 seconds i'm glad i crushed the wedding by busted songs about being married two seconds yeah songs about getting married i'll accept it they're pieces of musical songs about weddings what do you think you heard we had busty crush the wedding that's the sad that's the one we know the mighty sue pollard stand the first one sounded it could have been from madame butterfly but i have no idea i'm terrible at classical music and the second one no the first one was stravinsky's lane nos you don't recognize the second one insurers did you know the second piece the second one that's an interesting world where you know sue pollard but not mo and busted yes well very good very good you managed to get it so there is just one question remaining and that's for the insurers it's going to be zita your first clue is coming up now next are they books that we won awards for darf titles there's certainly another time is that next yes [Music] books that won awards for daft titles that is absolutely right they all won the diagram group prize for the oddest title of the year last one was how to avoid huge ships most of them quite self-explanatory you'll have a guess what living with crazy buttocks was about i didn't think not on a family show i hadn't heard of that book and but i guess what it was about and i looked it up and it is indeed about a lady who falls in love with a native american crazy butterfly almost certainly wasn't his real name it's the kind of thing you'd make up isn't it to impress a sort of awestruck new yorker that's what that was about so well done and you got some points right at the end there that means the scores at the end of round one see the insurers with two points but the gamblers are in the lead with seven points on to round two then this time there are still four connected clues but it's a sequence i want the contestants to tell me what comes forth you will see a maximum of three clues obviously the fewer clues you see the more points you get giving me the right answer but you will not see the fourth one because that is the answer so gamblers you'll be going first again please pick a letter alpha please alpha first in the sequence coming up what is fourth time starts now yellow leaves do you know that sounds like a tone but no idea no next please secretary of state [Music] american secretaries of state madeleine albright completely wrong thank you i'm going to throw it over for a possible bonus to the insurers we know the link but we can't think of his name the chief medical officer you are right these are chief medical officers of england and after kenneth comes liam donaldson so no points there but you were close insurers pick your own question please please first one coming up these are going to be picture clues so i want to know what you'd expect to see in the fourth picture first one now green boat it's not the front cover of life next honey on this honeycomb green green yellow next [Music] 10 seconds three seconds nope boxed by this one so i'm going to throw it over for the possible bonus i think it's five pound note why do you think it's that the alan the pussycat pea green boat honey money five pounds you're absolutely right they are things that the owl and the pussycat took to see in their beautiful pea green boat they took some honey and plenty of money wrapped up in a five pound note very well done please pick a letter uh delta please delta what is fourth time starts now next please oh it may well be something something the top one's brown wasn't it was it the top one i don't know all right i don't know i bet it started [Music] i think it's nine equals brown are they going to be judo or karate dance you're wrong for several reasons i'm afraid so i'm going to throw it over for a bonus to the insurers we'll go for nine equals red i'm ready you're not correct either i'm surprised you didn't get this gamblers the answer would be nine equals yellow stripe these are pool balls oh you know yellow so no points on that question insurers please pick a letter gamma please gamma first clue coming up these are going to be picture clues so again i'd like to know what you'd expect to see in the fourth picture time starts now it's a symbol for a planet i think astrology okay not sure what is it yes okay so it's got the signs next that's the female but it's also venus so the planetary sign that's it which is probably is mercury venus the male sign for what reason um it's the sign for mars you are absolutely correct these are astrological symbols for planets moving from the sun mercury venus earth would have been third and then mars you get three points for getting after just two clues well done gamblers pick a letter please peter please beta first one coming up time starts now maybe next place eight millimeter why i think they're film well we think the film size is for uh like either cinema or photographic films you're right sixteen millimeter would be next and eight millimeter i think you said sixty five millimeter is used for shooting iron max films although the prints are 17 millimeter so you also get three points for coming in after two clues insurers please pick a letter epsilon first clue coming up time starts now [Music] and the next one would be green ten [Music] seconds green why royal parks but what's the secrets they are the order in which they were first laid out i'm afraid that would not be a correct sequence possible bonus for you gammas is it hide why is it the size of the royal parks in size of area it is royal parks by area starting with the largest next in the sequence would be hyde so you get the bonus scores then at the end of round two the insurers have got five points but the gamblers are in the lead with 12 points [Music] time for round three the connecting wall there's one wall per team the insurers will be going first this time you're going to see 16 clues which i'd like you to sort into four connected groups of four there are red herrings there are clues that fall into more than one category but there is only one perfect solution so you may choose the alpha or beta wall alpha please right the alpha wall will come up you've got two and a half minutes to solve it starting now [Music] jumble was a dog as a douglas ginger this is this the famous five henry no i think so william was definitely there henry was there yeah jumble is the dog yeah so he could make a question he could be a character and i think is it ginger [Music] [Music] tracy island is a television school must uh any other islands craggy island perhaps sounds possible tracy island kirin ireland no keep trying the islands right cracky skull tracy island we reckon and avalon [Music] ragdoll ginger avalon independent production company yes time running out davis that's it the grid has frozen so i'm going to give you a point for the group that you identified and there's a bonus point available if you can tell me the connection henry william douglas jumble characters in just william they're characters in just william and what's strange about jumble dog quite right clearly just william fans i approve now you can still get bonus points for the groups you didn't identify so let's resolve the wall right what about that second group davis tracy tunic percival spencer in a moment i almost saw the light bulb flash over your head there they're famous spencer's can you tell me who they are spencer davis was the spencer davis trio spencer trace was an actor spent spencer was a prime minister that got assassinated i don't know who spencer tunic was that was the one that through he he's an artist an installation artist he sort of he gathers large numbers of naked people together i believe i mean it's not starry night but they call it art so you get the bonus there amity skull kirin craggy islands i think they're all islands are they killing ireland is in the famous five mm-hmm skull island is another another children's thing is it skull island is supposed to be where king kong is from amateur island what if i tell you it's not about the island itself but something that swims around the arctic jaws and craggy island father ted the priest from parliament and the last group avalon ragdoll ginger hat trick they're all independent television production companies they are that was heartbreaking you just got it last few but couldn't get the numbers so you get a point for the group that you found you get four bonus points for finding all the connections so that's a total of five points so well done insurers time to bring back the gamblers and see what they can do with the connecting wall they'll get a new grid 16 fresh clues but there is still only one perfect solution watch out for the red herrings they will be swimming about there and you'll be getting the beta wall because the alpha's already been chosen you've got two and a half minutes to solve it starting now yes ginger saffron sesame so when you're chips first yeah i don't think nice yellow dogs i think i think nigeria will be uh like herbs or plants or something mace is another one you think there's a lot about ginger group um yeah as you say you've got chefs aren't you yeah floyd ramsey oliver ramsey rhodes uh ranking c5 there so you're trying to try and illuminate pink gin pink lady pink panther uh pink floyd brilliant i think let it now you've got plenty of time left remember with two groups it's three strikes and you're out two lives left raymond roman blanc ramsey roads gary roads let's think of the others so it's elm and sesame and they're all streets street sesame street elm street and ramsey street yeah elm street sesame street bash street yeah brush street yes there you go not even halfway through the allotted time you've solved the wall congratulations so that's four points and they'll be bonus points if you can tell me the connections safran mace nigella ginger oh spices herbs and spices they're all spices i was impressed that you saw nigella and immediately thought that'll be a red herring not a chef what else could it be you must have seen this show before the other ones are surnamed and they're given her first name again you see sometimes people freeze when they get to the grid they can't think so logically i like your style next group gin panther lady floyd pink gin pink panther pink pink floyd that's it they gonna be prefaced with pink the red group elm ramsay bash sesame street we know about horror films and cartoons exactly fictional streets ramsay street from uh neighbours neighbors of course and the last group rhodes blanc or belong i suppose oliver rankin chef tv they are chefs poker jamie oliver and uh paul rankin paul rankin will rankin and gary rhodes very well done though you got four points for sorting out the groups four points for the connections and a bonus two for getting them all right that is the maximum of 10 points let's see how that affects the scores going into round four the insurers have got 10 points but the gamblers are in the lead with 22 points so you're gonna need a good round four insurance there are lots of points available this is the missing vowels round where we take well-known names or phrases like only connect the phrase on everyone's lips take out the vowels and squish together the consonants teams you must tell me what those names and phrases are you'll all be competing together here so fingers on buzzers any mistakes or long hesitations i will take a point away and throw it to the other team for a bonus so be careful i can tell you that the first group are all crime writers let's go insurers yes he's gone i'm afraid you lose a point gambler's possible bonus one point to you next clue [Music] gamblers ian rankin one point [Music] yes one point next category venomous sea creatures insurers sea urchin one point gamblers stonefish one point gamblers portuguese man of war one point gamblers box jellyfish yes it is next category films

polishing their clever clogs for the quarterfinals for the insurers unfortunately their boots are made for walking meanwhile like i said i've got to be somewhere but i always take a taxi i don't even
