Only Connect 4x01

[Music] hello and welcome to only connect the show that's all about obscure connections for example if you can spot a connection between fish oil razor blades and flat pack Furniture I certainly won't be inviting you to put my wardrobe together let's start with a joke I say I say I say what do you get if you cross an epicurian with a courtier I don't know but we're about to find out because our two teams tonight are the epicurian and the courtiers on my right David bruis an Oxford chemistry graduate who collects bigles books and chemical elements Aaron Bell an internet bookmaker with a degree in politics philosophy and economics also from Oxford and there Captain Katy brl stainer a GP with an interest in women's health and a passion for art United by their love of fine dining they are the epicurian Katie your name is strangely familiar on this show why would that be well if you cast your minds back to series one The crossword is were the champion and then they were the champion of champions and they were Captain by my wonderful husband David so we both met through quiz um and well it's better than being in a bar in a bether I suppose that must be a fun game of trial Pursuit at Christmas is there rivalry between you as quizzes or do you work in tandem uh I think there's a healthy rivalry um but we we're we're greater than the some of our parts well tonight you should have a healthy rivalry with the courtiers mark Hannah an electronic engineering graduate with the love of DIY and photography Richard ronaldson a mechanical engineering graduate who enjoys playing poker and exploring America and their Captain Paul Mitchell a civil servant and former University lecturer with a PhD in French politics they all work together in the Northern Ireland Court service they are the courtiers I see it's a pun Paul is it laugh a minute at the northern Island Court service I wouldn't go that far um I don't think the judges would appreciate it if you started laughing in the courts um but it's a good organization to work for and if you find yourself uh watching a particularly interesting crime unfold how much of your brain is thinking that would make a really good triv question I don't think we look upon it in that way uh we're far more concerned with the interest of Justice rather than cheap gimmicks just like me in the interests of Justice we're going to play a quiz to find out who's best let's get on with round one this is the one in which I simply ask the teams what is the connection between four apparently random Clues the fewer Clues they need to see before giving me the answer the more points are available cour is you on the toss you'll be going first but let me just explain something at this stage it's a new series and something's changed only connect is a much loved show there's only one thing that people have ever disliked and it is the Greek letters people have written in over the last few series and said that these are pretentious they're elitist snobbish even somebody even said they were Silly we listened the Greek letters are gone so courus please choose your Egyptian hieroglyph we'll go for the uh Twisted flax please the wick of Twisted flax your first clue is coming up and your time starts now Linda dos is thats next one please Tony Barson are these um people have won the no there she's she's an author she's a black American Author next one please black were they the first black was the first black MP was she or yes so should we take one more for first first female black first black female shall we take one more should we go for it just in case I'll go for one more please as well yeah first black okay we reckon they're the first black female people in their particular field that is it groundbreaking black women in certain posts Tony Morrison first black women to win the Nobel Prize liter Diane Abbott to become an MP in the UK Michelle Obama to be the first lady in America and you don't know Linda dobs no fa not no I thought you guys might know her she is the first black woman to be a UK high court judge well yes but that was the Obscure one for you but yes very well done you're off the board with some points epicurian please pick a hieroglyph i of Horus please I of Horus first clue coming up time starts now well with a highest pitch like next it's a triple triple yeah that's right go sure triple happy yeah definitely triple I'll accept it I'd have preferred the word triple to be honest with you when I'm in the pub I rarely order a triple but that's because it's too small and I want six of them at once can you talk me through the other Clues so% increaseing something Tre yeah and winning the treble for example yeah winning the treble and football exactly a 200% increase simply a mathematical triple so very well done coming in after just two Clues you get three points and it's back to the courtiers to pick a hieroglyph I'll go for the horned viper please the horned viper your first snaky question coming up time starts now border no no idea next one please instant run off is this some somewhere maybe finishing a game of sport or some description maybe okay some sort of tiebreaker situation next one please part oh this is for it's Electro system systems partless system I think we should go for it should we go for it electoral systems it's another successful Early B they are electoral systems last one would have been STV coming in after three Clues you get two points much though we all love discussing alternative voting systems we're going to go straight on with the next question please pick a hieroglyph lion please lion these are going to be picture Clues it's the picture question your first one is coming up now hey next horseshoe H stack horseshoe something missing in them needle in a h need in a might still be restless that's a it could be next a tent is that a tent I it's a tent um giant next and is that that baseball it looks like a baseball you got 5 seconds I think you're going to have to go with names of wrestlers tell me what wrestlers you're thinking of I'm thinking of the famous giant hach the equally famous horseshoe wrestler Infamous Mighty tent and my personal favorite the crushing bball the crushing baseball you your favorite too yeah I would so love to give you points for that but unfortunately I can't all I can do is throw it over to your opponent for a possible bonus are they things you pitch that is the answer you can pitch hay pitch a horseshoe pitch a tent and pitch a baseball although I think a few wrestlers are going to take inspiration from your answer by next year the connection may be totally different but well done courters you've got a Bonus point and the chance to pick your own hieroglyph uh water please water first glue coming up now oh it's oh this is the first warship in that's in Boston Harbor by exploring America but another one we'll go for the next probably going to be is that the black prin the black he the black prince no the second it's oh oh armid it's called Old arm sites armid TR armid that Richard answer here uh arm sites you're very clever boys iron side is what they called the warship the USS Constitution because Canon didn't Pierce its size that was also a nickname the second and for cromwell's cavalryman Raymond Burr of course IR inside in the TV show so that is another three points for you excellent answer that leaves just one question for you epicurian the two reads mhm and of course that must be the music or Sound question cuz we haven't had it yet you will be hearing your Clues and the first one is coming up now it's my life next next [Music] go is it go they all be doctors no I next next oh that's doctor doctor yes the artist or or connected by doctor you've got Dr alurn Dr Dre so the artists have doctor in their title what do you think you buzzed in the middle of oh don't Dr Green by Cypress Hill uh or Dr Feelgood perhaps it was Dr Feelgood milk and alcohol and had you not buzzed in you would have heard Sylvia's Mother by Dr Hook so at the end of a very highs scoring round one the epicurian have got five points but the quarters are in the lead with seven points round two is a little trickier there are still four connected Clues but this time they are going to come in a sequence and I will show the team a maximum of three Clues what I want to know is what comes forth so you must work out the connections between you and then tell me what would the last in the sequence be courus you'll be going first again please pick your question go for the Twisted

have the horned viper first in a sequence coming up time starts now okay new next uh Civil War battles Civil War but maybe the first one the final ones I think we need go next the last one the last battle was that Edge Hill the first no no no um next new oh is there a second B new second [Music] potentially okay okay we'll try Edge Hill I'm afraid that's not the answer I'm looking for so there is a possible bonus for you there courus will'll try nby my polic is in any quiz when in doubt say the Battle of nasby or Muhammad Ali sometimes it's him you are correct you get the points these are four major battles of the English Civil War in order the confusing thing being it's the first first and second battles of Newbury nasby would have been the next one that's a bonus point to you and please pick your own hieroglyph well go for water please water first clue coming up time starts now senior next one please senior Junior the senior Council Junior Council noic next one please sophomore oh be freshman freshman yeah freshman gather the answer is freshman it's just too easy isn't it these are years in US colleges going in decreasing order the forest sophomore you get a freshman very well done your turn again then epicurian lion please lion first clue coming up your time Starts Now 1 to n white okay noty R I think oh I really like that but what are they white blue green and yellow green pink I think it might be should we take the others just to cut options out otherwise next is blue next I think it's I want to say it's green but we next p and it's going to be green yellow I think it's green okay okay go 30 to 39 green okay should we yeah go yellow you sure what's yellow green go what you said green 5 Seconds 30 to 39 green for what reason Lotto balls you nearly veered off into yellow at the last minute but you are correct the national lottery balls are colored and 30 to 39 would be green you hit the jackpot with that very well done so courus please pick your hieroglyph I of Horus please I of Horus your first in a sequence is coming up now hmer Smith P next one please um next one please not oh gosh jump back in the alley is it a song is there a bsh B hammeri in the hamers ship in the hamers ship some some it's going to be a song or it but I have no idea what no like where do you I don't know they all rhyme with P ballet Ali so P balet think of something that rhymes with ballet 5 Seconds um I'm looking forward to this in lily of the valley lily of the valley I like your style but I'm afraid I must go over to your opponent for a possible bonus we'll try it reasons to be cheerful one two three that's certainly the link but so reasons to be cheerful these are Ian jurries reasons to be cheerful but reasons to be cheerful are not themselves reasons to be cheerful the next thing along would be nanny goats so no points there epicurian one clue remaining for you two reads please two reads these are going to be picture Clues it's the picture question your first is coming up now beard that's Abraham Lincoln Lincoln beard next that's s Mayo uh is it some sort of is it is it going to be Irish counties in some way beard is it got a name that kind of beard next I next what's next Irish provinces so next so um Mayo goway could be cork I think the picture it's easy to do a picture of um kry Cork's bigger than kry Cork's very s okay should we go for kry Co [Music] okay cork once again you nearly jumped the wrong way but it is cork these are counties in the Republic of Ireland in increasing order of size that first picture not just any beard a Donal beard is what that represents Donal Mayo gway cork would be next in the sequence so at the end of round two the epicurian have improved at nine points but the quartiers are still in the lead with [Music] 12 round three is our connecting wall this time there are 16 clues all jumbled up and the teams need to sort them into four connected groups of four some of the clues may appear to come into more than one category but there is only one perfect four-way solution epicurian it is your turn to go first this time you've got a choice of two walls lion or water water please okay you got the water wall there are 2 and A2 minutes to solve it you'll get a point for each group point for each connection your time starts now okay airports Kenya was a leader of Kenya there a lot of vows in like sequ Q Pacquiao no have they got have they got all the vals which the qu does no end in four vals end in four Val are those on three good leaving out okay so Boris yels in bed knobs and Broomsticks River jump the broomstick jump the gun jump jump the shark's the other one jump the broomstick you sure about that it is yeah yeah okay good now with two groups it's three strikes in your out just three goes um so um Poland Ireland Iceland Finland so what's the other one Great's K who Ken banana know their names of presidents Jo Mo Ken Boris yel first pres aren't they yeah Washington and Kan banana was I can't remember where banana was that's it with just a minute gone you've solved the wall excellent work so that's four points immediately for the groups that you got let's see what you can do with the connections the first one Lou sequ a AA here ending in four V ending in Four vs and what can you tell me about that last clue in that Manny Pacquiao boxer yeah boxer the Filipino boxer his nickname oh I forget h no you'll have to you'll have to it's Pac-Man not sadly the mighty baseball would have been an excellent nickname uh very good next category broomstick Q gun shark so these are things that you can jump jump the broomstick jump the Q jump the gun and junk jump the shark meaning something's now a bit P from an episode of Happy Days where we thought thought down from there you put Egyptian hieroglyphs into a show that it's jumped the shark cuz I was going to say can you think of an example of a television show that hasn't jumped the shark that's still hot zeitgeisty important to watch only connect that is a very good example so I will certainly give you the point for that what about this next group ice po a fin land you simply add land and you get the names of countries a simple one and what about this yelton banana Kenyata Washington the name surnames of the first presidents of these incarnation of countries so post post Soviet Russ Kan banana was somewhere in Africa I can't remember where it wasn't Zambia was it Kenyata was Kenya Joo Kenyata George Wasington was America yes Zimbabwe before before MCG so you got the four points for finding the groups you got the four points for the connections you get two bonus points for getting it all right that gives you a maximum of 10 points excellent result there for the epicurian time to bring in their opponents to see what they can do with their connecting wall 16 fresh clues of course but it must be solved in the exact same way for connected groups of four You've Got 2 and a half minutes to do that you get a point for each group a point for each connection and bonus points if you get it all correct your 16 clues are about to come up and your time starts now right Granville danger Mr cogi TV characters king of Spain White Lightning up l was voiced by uh was he voiced by David Jason yes he was go Goan David Jason Frost and Granville go for it nice one good

groups that you found let's talk about the connections in the first group Danger Mouse Blanco Frost and Granville David Jason David Jason played those characters Blanco a little more obscure maybe to some viewers who's that he was an old lag and porish David Jason I think in old man's makeup for that one he was very young at the time next group lgo mosha Diane Gabrielle and Rooster Cogburn pches

last group Hunter King of Spain White Lightning I think they album titles but are they all titles um for I can't give you too long but I can see that you're miles away viewers at home will be shouting because this is the kind of thing you know it or you don't know it these are cricketing nicknames oh Paul now if I'd been on your team the king of Spain you see you know about him Ashley Giles and his nickname was supposed to be the king of spin some mugs were printed and there was a misprint it was printed as a king of Spain and it's stuck do you know any of the others now you hter is Ricky Ponting that's it of Australia who's White Lightning Alberto wter the Sprinter the runner by cricketer White Lightning apparently and I'm reading it because I know nothing about Cricket Alan Donald of South Africa was white lightning and the wall no idea Rahul dravid of India because he's hard to get out but anyway cricketing nicknames is what that was last but you do get four points for the groups that you sorted out and three bonus points for the connections that's a total of seven points let's see what that does to the scores at the end of round three the courtiers have 19 points and the epicurian also have 19 points if you think those connecting walls look like Child's Play why don't you try one we've got them on the website the address is coming up on your screens now round four is the missing vowels round this is where we take well-known names phrases or sayings or titles such as only connect one of the best known phrases in Britain today we take out the vowels then Squid together the consonants and teams I want you to tell me what those hidden phrases are they will of course come in Connected groups of four I will tell you those connections up front if you give me the correct answer you'll get one point any of them wrong or you hesitate unduly you lose a point and I throw it to the other team for a possible bonus so fingers on buzzers it will be decided here the
