Only Connect - Series 15 - Episode 25

[Music] and if none of that made sense then you need to see a doctor immediately but what comes next is bound to not make sense because it's a semi-final of the already baffling quiz only connect and the first brilliant semi-finalists joining me tonight are on my right jenny forrest an enthusiastic upcycler who shared a log cabin in france with a beaver named justin belinda weir a university lecturer who has not eaten a spring onion since the moon landing in 1969 and their captain oliver forrest who won a harry potter look-alike competition without entering all members of the forest family they are the forests now oliver you're the team that played for a little bit last year but had to pull out because one of your teammates unexpectedly had some twins now you're in the semi-finals how do the two events compare for excitement um this is a lot more unexpected to come back to the semi-finals i think we thought we'd be sort of one and done this year but um it's very nice to be here and everything is a bonus from here on i think well we're very glad you came back you're doing extremely well good luck this evening against on my left kyle lamb a keen musician who was once banned from taking part in a maths contest izzy bogod a publishing sales executive who has sporadic very loud single hiccups and their captain toby nolmaker a phd student who has 30 first cousins on his mother's side all keen bridge players they are the suits well done for making the semi-finals are you surprised did you come here to make the finals or just for a laugh i think uh we we just came here to enjoy ourselves and to make friends along the way and you know i'd say our team morale is we're still as terrified as ever excellent well i hope your tara abates but i don't see why it would because tonight's game is going to be much more difficult than your previous ones it's the semi-finals the difficulty ramps up a bit oh dear and with those welcoming words forests you won the toss so i invite you to choose your first hieroglyph um lion please lion what is the connection between these apparently random clues here's the first next please whether it scales itself either point when you're freezing point is it in different state volume quite unfreezing point on different scales okay so this is [Music] um is this the boiling point and freezing point of water on different temperature scales i'm afraid it is not so i'm going to show the fourth clue to the suits for a possible bonus point um we think these are all the the same temperature which is the temperature at which paper burns i need to hear something very specific we think this these are equivalent to fahrenheit 4-5-1 they are equivalent to fahrenheit 4-5-1 which according to the ray bradbury novel is the temperature at which paper burns it's actually hard to be specific about that very well done did you start by thinking of the novel and then get to paper or were you thinking about when you burned paper and that led you to the novel usually when we burn when we burn paper we we we aim for about two three two celsius well it's approximately right very well done that was a hard one to calculate you get the bonus point and you may choose your own question what would you like we'd like the hornet viper please okay what do these clues have in common here's the first next one please next please [Music] we think they all found dogs there i need to hear something specific we think they found dead dogs there i'm afraid that's not it forrest you know we think they all killed dogs they killed dogs there and i think to say they found them would be rather letting them off the hook uh especially dr werner haaser do you know who that is no it's a hitler's personal physician and hitler wanted to test out some suicide capsules so he told dr harza to give them to his pet alsatian honestly the more i hear about that guy the less i like but they are all people who killed dogs and i think we can't quite say they found them who are the other people atticus finch killed a rabid dog into killer mockingbird that's right who's andrew newton do you know that i i thought it might be he killed jeremy thorpe's dog but perhaps he killed norman scottsdale norman scott he is the jeremy thorpe case sherlock holmes of course that's in the hound of the baskervilles shooting a dog honor devon moore well done forrest you get that bonus and what would you like for your own question twisted flax please twisted facts what do these clues have in common here's the first next please [Music] uh we think the the sort of preceding or following part of these poems is the name of an agatha christie book they are quotes that are used to make the titles of agatha christie books very well done and can you complete the quotes for me uh hickory dickory dock it's the second one hickory dickory dock it is a poirot novel from the 50s third one is that um the mirror cracked from side to side exactly so the great tennis and poem yeah the lady of charlotte now the others i don't know the first one a pocket full of rye a pocket full of rye that's a miss marple novel and some are born to sweet delight some are born to endless knight william blake do you know the whole verse from the lady of chalot of course you don't shall i delight you with it i have it here she left the web she left the loom she made three paces through the room she saw the water flower bloom she saw the helmet and the plume she looked down to camelot out through the web and floated wide the mirror cracked from side to side the curse has come upon me cried the lady of shalott some say she was referring to the connecting wall we don't know it's just uh it's just a rumor suits what would you like next i would like the iron horse the eye of horus these go to picture clues what connects them here's the first [Music] next yeah uh we think these are all songs by the rolling stones they represent songs by the rolling stones what do those pictures signify we've got wild horses and brown sugar those are the two we know um rolling dice lots of dice it's it's tumbling dice from exxon on main street and we we're not sure who that is david bowie's wife angie angie the song from goat's head soup do you know that michael heseltein once appeared to have killed a dog i'm still thinking about that question from earlier it's so eerie he did an interview with tata magazine he talked about his mother's alsatian and how it once attacked him and he said i just pulled its collar till it went limp and there was loads of talk about it and you know people were really cross and the real rage in the press and then michael hesselstein quickly said oh i didn't kill it the dog was perfectly all right afterwards it livened up again weird isn't it quite a spooky show kyle's a witch of course that'll be why there's a slightly spooky air and that'll be fun for people that haven't seen the team's earlier appearances on the show just random abuse for our guest semi-finalists forests what would you like uh water please water okay it's the music question you'll be hearing your clues what do they have in common here's the first it's true it's true the crown has made it clear the climate must be perfect next please [Music] two seconds uh modes of transport not to modes of transport i'm afraid suits do you know we don't have the faintest clue we will say they are all to do with royalty it's not really close enough for a bonus point me finally you're not that far away really it's it's royalty can be associated with what the connection actually is which is legendary places we heard camelot the musical camelot that was king arthur's court el dorado was the theme from the old soap el dorado xanadu was the third piece insanity kubrick on a stately pleasure dome decree and avalon at the end which is the the mythical island so royalty in a way but royalty and mythical places i wanted to hear but you may have your own question the two reads what is the connection between these clues here's the first next [Music] next please [Music] next please [Music] two seconds um they all wear hats i mean it would be a jolly set of numbers that had hats on i suppose it probably do in some books but i can't give it to you i'm afraid forrest you know they're all things that come forth in a sequence they're all things come forth in sequences what are the sequences um books of the bible the pentateuch um that's right genesis exodus leviticus and numbers is fourth james bond films uh the firemen from what is that campbell wick green no the trumpton fireman exactly pew pew barney mcgrew cuthbert dibble and grub cuthbert is the fourth one uh and tinker taylor soldier sailor tinkertail soldier sailor all fourth in sequences well done you get the bonus and that means at the end of round one the suits have two points the forests have four speaking of what comes forth in sequences let's play that round you'll be going first again forests so please choose a sequential hieroglyph um haunted viper please okay what would come forth in this sequence here's the first next please [Music] [Music] to the corner [Music] uh 90 degrees two not it i'm afraid suits do you know it's a 90 degrees one yes it is toby you might have to explain this because i certainly can't these are the values of sine of that angle exactly y equals sine x where x is naught degrees 30 degrees 60 and 90 it would be one well done so a bonus for you there and which question would you like oh we'll take the ayah for us please i have horus what will come forth in this sequence here's the first next piece next please oh it's foreign [Music] two seconds uh we will go for one million pounds and high i like it but it's not the answer forest you know um a million pounds magistrates no it's a million pounds francis this is a football question this is about landmark football transfers a thousand pounds was paid for alf common when he moved from sunderland to middlesbrough in 1905. ten thousand pounds paid for david jack when he went from bolton to arsenal that's 1928 hundred thousand pounds who would that be uh [Laughter] going to torino in 1961 and that is trevor francis a million pounds going to nottingham forest although brian clough always said actually it was only 999 999 pounds just so it wasn't too stressful for francis to think about those big numbers forests what would you like for your own lion lion okay what would come forth in this sequence here's the first next please next please las vegas 11 is the right answer what's this sequence uh the oceans films exactly so it is the locations of the oceans films and they're actually going backwards chronologically because the most recent oceans 8 set in new york suits what would you like the twisted flax please twisted flax these are going to be picture clues what would you expect to see in the fourth picture here's the first oh that's great next please next please [Music] [Music] uh we're going to go for some expected value not it i'm afraid i can see your thinking but i'm not going to ask you why i don't want to give anything away to your opponents who have the chance of a bonus point um something day something with day robin day not it explain your thinking suits well the third one we know is eve so we thought it could be letters coming off the first one we think is great expectations but we don't remember his name the truth is even if you did remember his name the name you would remember is magwitch yes unless you were some sort of genius or english graduate abel abel it's the bible the second picture is kane dingle from emmerdale and that's eve so going backwards towards the first human adam forrest what would you like next um two reeds please two reeds what would come forth in this sequence is the first next please uh next please [Music] [Music] is seconds uh fourth eye not it i'm afraid suits do you know uh we're going to go for a fourth vi not it either why do you say that we thought it might be um shakespeare histories in the order they were written yes i see normally when you see roman numerals in this show it could be shakespeare it could be reginal numbers or you could have to translate them back into the roman alphabet if you did that in this case you would find they are appearing in alphabetical order eight five four and the next one alphabetically would be nine it's digits in alphabetical order one question remains it's the water question what would come forth in this sequence here's the first next is [Music] is we think it's o fortuna it is oh fortuna from carmina burana the first four lines ever waxing you are changeable like the moon oh fortune well done next line would be oh fortuna that means at the end of round two the suits have five points the forests have six [Music] time for our first semi-final connecting wall suits you'll be going first this time so would you like lion or water we'll have the lion please lion okay you have two and a half minutes to try and solve this wall starting now yes so no we've got these actual words right siamese rhodesian these are places right yeah so i agree that i agree that soviet's not a cat okay so we'll go with that i think so sir no all right that's i think [Music] very well done that is a very tough wall and you've done very well but what about the connections maybe you solved it by mistake can you tell me what connects the first blue group starting onyx these are names of first generation pokemon they're all species of pokemon and the next group kidderminster babylonian and so on uh these all have names for youngsters at the start of them they do little people at the start there kid baby child tot and the next group de homie and biafran and so on these are all um that's not it you're missing the key thing which is that they describe nations that no longer exist so rhodesia would now be zimbabwe dahomian relates to de homie which is now benin soviet of course that was a union empire not there anymore biafra a successionist state that is now part of nigeria so they are defunct as in the last group siamese ragdoll sphinx banks and finally these are the cats these are the cats yes you were watching oh persian is the red herring for cat but there are many red herrings for several of the groups but you did find all four groups you gave me three connections that is a total of seven points well done time to bring in the forest now and give them the other wall equally difficult water wall and give them two and a half minutes to solve it good luck forests your time starts now okay what happens is a kind of type of wave total time spotify as a music spotify [Music] is [Music] um [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] no that's it the time is up and the horrible wall has frozen a mixed blessing there but you can get points for the connections in the groups you didn't find so let's resolve the wall there it is spotify warthog molecule zither oh they've got um sort of facial blemishes in them skin blemishes at the beginning there spot wart mold zit and the next group solar wind and so on so are you waves they're not waves they're forms of renewable energy i don't even quite get a biomass wave and the next group cobuzz deezer and so on yeah music streaming systems they are music streaming services and the last group season bamboo dragon and circle yeah is it mahjong time yes it is they're my dog tiles very good knowledge so you didn't find any groups but you did give me three connections which is no mean feat on that horrible wall let's have a look at the overall scores the forests have nine points the suits have 12. [Music] so there's not that much in it for us you're a bit unlucky on the wall but you're strong on val so either team could yet bag that place in the final fingers on buzzers i can tell you that the first group all travel on ice forest sun bony correct no it's torvill and dean next clue [Music] suits curling stone correct suits siberian husky correct next category football team opposites forest manchester divided well done forest green of the north yes it is forest dc milan correct [Music] suits wigan lethargic yes it is next category prime ministers and their autobiographies forests with winston churchill and my early life yes it is be careful forests gordon brown and my life no that's too long suits do you know it's gordon brown and my life or times i'm afraid it's my life our times next clue [Music] forest james callahan and time and chance yes it is very well done but the bell has gone for the end of the quiz and after great energy in that last round i can tell you that looking at the final scores our finalists winning with 15 points are the suits you've got 14 points you did so well you have been a brilliant team i'm delighted to say that you are not out you're going through to my favorite match of the season the third place playoffs very well deserved but you could just as equally have been in the final unlucky well done suits you'll go to the final we'll see you then so we have our first finalists in place and our first contenders for the bronze medal and if you'd like to have a bet on the ultimate outcome of the series i'm afraid you can't that's no longer possible because we've filmed so far in advance it's too easy to cheat so bookmakers have closed that loophole as it was impossible to keep the betting clean seems a shame doesn't it suppose you'll have to pay for my own kitchen extension this year [Music] goodbye [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
