Only Connect - Series 5 - Episode 11

hello and welcome to only connect the quiz that's all about making connections like a dating website but without the inevitable number of freaks and weirdos or is it let's meet the teams on my right David Edwards a committed Welsh rugby fan with a degree in metallurgy Charlotte Martin an English graduate who enjoys retro computer games and fair weather gardening and their captain Richard Edwards a keen guitarist and amateur footballer who works as a journalist for science fiction magazine Captain Richard is flanked by his father and his wife they are the Edwards family but should you overruled your dad and your Heat against the inorganic chemists has there been a family feud since then aside from being written out of the will and told never to come home again no you were right of course you've got the points omaticaya tonight you are facing on my left Colin Warlow an Oxford Mass graduate with an interest in cricket and European travel Nick Bertie a civil servant with a PhD in genetics from Leeds University and their captain james hasty and accomplished ballroom dancer who enjoys playing poker and bridge online they're all members of an executive trade union council they are the trade unionists James you beat the rock and rollers in your heat how different was it being here than playing along at home it's a lot harder here than it is at home I think that's because we don't have access to beer well there may be beer for you if we finish the quiz but that won't happen unless we start it - perhaps with round one later on in the show the connecting wall will be going live online if you fancy playing along but in the meantime we prefer you to simply shout at the screen teams I want you to tell me what is the connection between four apparently random clues trade unionists you won the toss but you decided to put the Edwards family in first so please take a question line please all right the first clue of the quarter-final is coming up I can tell you they're going to be picture clues your time starts now some of what kind of series is I don't know what it is next piece that's prosperous is its round are a good five give me five no one I think five they want ok tryna be jeans next always yeah 501 coming in after just two clues you get three points you're absolutely right so that first picture what do you think that denotes I think that that means the sum of a certain series adds up to five hundred and one very good a full-on mathematician would be able to read that as the sum of the first eighteen prime numbers that makes five hundred and one why is Brian Laura there he he famously scored 501 for Warwickshire I think is in 1995 he holds the world record total for a single innings 501 he batted for and I think you guessed the next one was going to be a pair of Levi's 501 jeans and why are we looking at a dartboard is that what all of the scores on the dark would add up to no no but you normally in competition darts you play I returned it from final one down Professional Darts they start the score of 501 and try to get down to 0 very well-done coming in early you're off the blocks and it's over to the trade unionists to choose the question twisted flux please okay your first clue of the quarter final is coming up now next oh gee you see next yes there are things you can cross how do you cross Christopher Columbus okay Christopher Columbus by teasing him about his hair he hates that and I'm afraid that is not the right answer so there's a possible bonus for the Edwards family is it that South American countries are named after them that's what it is it's the etymologies of South American countries Little Venice is Venezuela so named by whom DeSoto no no it was Amerigo Vespucci named it that because it reminded him actually of Venice because of the houses on stilts in the water for Argentina named after silver Colombia of course Christopher Columbus and Ecuador named off the line of latitude that passes through the country etymologies for South American country names well done for the bonus and it's your turn to pick a question back of the horned Viper please yes you may that sound means you're going to have the music question you look happy about that it's good news you're gonna hear some lovely pieces of music starting now they were all written for films with in tune from a movie have another go what's going they all wouldn't ask an Oscar for Best Song that's it I need that kind of precision in the quarterfinal they all won the Oscar for Best Song we heard all the way from the Joker's wild that won the Oscar in 1957 I just called say I love you the Stevie Wonder track played in the woman in red won the Oscar in 1984 and the one I think you recognized lose yourself from eight mile Eminem got that in 2002 and you came in sadly before we had the chance to hear over the rainbow which won the Oscar in 1939 with The Wizard of Oz trade unionists it's over to you water please water first clue coming up now next please they're the kind to the average so this is wasted these are ways of measuring units of length that is exactly what they are well done there's derivation of actually of imperial lengths elbow to fingertips what do you think that measures cubit it's the L pieces of cloth work were folded there the left feet of 16 churchgoers is the perch to the land length span of outstretched arms that's a fathom and nose to fingertip of Henry the first you know what that was that is a yard it was decreed by hearing the first that it will be measured for thusly so very well done three points for coming in after two Clues and it's back to the Edwards family to choose a question I for us please okay I have Horace what is the connection here time starts now yeah they're all possible names for Monty Python there are not all possible names for Monty Python so I'm going to show the fourth clue to your opponents the trade unionist there's a possible bonus point available excuse me I see no they're not dead Belgium so start the don't don't other rejected names for TV programs that is what it is Alan stretching time wars an original name for Monty Python's Flying Circus but the others of a different programs they aren't working titles for TV comedies do you know what any of the others are dead Belgians don't count was drop the dead donkey that's right because it was something said in a newspaper office drop the dead donkey dead buildings don't count what about the others Only Fools and Horses readies was a working title for only fools and horses and the fighting Tigers think laterally this is only connect what might it have been the goodies no dad's army fighting Tigers was a name for Dad's Army very well done you get a bonus point and you also get the final question which is to reads your first clue is coming up now next please next please yes they are all called Horace you are quite right I heard you muttering the name Horace Walpole he was the author of the cost of a Trant Oh Horace the Roman poet Rumpole of the Bailey his first name was Horace and he buzzed him before we saw head of the slug Club at Hogwarts his character called Horace as well so very well done at the end of round one the Edwards family have got six points the trade unionists also have six points in round two I'll be asking the teams what is the fourth in a sequence you'll see up to three connected clues and using that connection you should be able to do so what is fourth and then tell me no good keeping it to yourself no points that way Edwards family you'll be going first again to Reed's place all right first in a sequence is coming up what is for time starts now next piece from library and now the next one will be library but I don't think what's down in the secret passage the kitchens kitchen and it's not the correct answer so I'm going to show the third in the sequence for the trade unionist there's a possible bonus point if you could tell me what's for thanks for ballroom that's not it either I think you both know these are rooms on a clue dough board we're travelling clockwise and next would be a study study is what's next to the library well no points there but trade units you have a chance to pick another question horned Viper please all right you're going to be seeing pictures here what to do expect to see in the fourth picture here's the first one next please next place skin.that is the right answer but why they're increasing size so hearts the fourth biggest organ then brain then liver and skin is the biggest your reasoning is wrong but your I'm very glad you're not due to perform open-heart surgery on me because that first picture is a lung it's the right lung heavier than the left it's the heaviest organs in the body then the brain then the liver and the heaviest would be the skin I don't really want to think about how they measured that but you gave me the odds of skin and that's quite right so you get the points and back to the Edwards family to pick a question twisted flax please what is the fourth in this sequence the first is coming up now next please Marcus Aurelius not correct I'm afraid so back to the trade unions bonus Vespasian that's not right either what was your thinking Edwards family about the connection we thought there were sequence of Roman emperors and we kind of hope that Marcus Aurelius might be next because we've heard of him there are a lot of Emperor's to choose from and I think it'll be another one you've heard of it is Roman emperors in chronological order next would be Adrian of all Fame David I think people will be quite impressed to hear you sort of much I don't really know about Roman emperors are progressively like Trajan next Trajan some would say is the more obscured Adrian would be the following one so no points for anyone there unionists please pick your own question I have Horus please all right the is for us what's the fourth in this sequence first one coming up now next please delete that is the answer why is it didn't it's the I'm letting the cancer this because he knows far better that for the for stage isn't something in databases or something like that this would be database functions and they're known by the acronym crud so it's CEO u D so we're something beginning with D and delete is generally I think that computers tend to do especially when I've been writing things on them so very well done you get the points and it's back to the Edwards family to choose a question lion please okay first of the sequence coming up what's fourth time starts now copy next next in binary case they'll be the last one going up in tunes and binary so if you own this go for the next one one zero zero one that is not the right answer but it is an opportunity for me to say to you that there are ten sorts of people in the world those who understand binary and those who don't I think your reasoning would have fallen down if you'd seen the third in the sequence which I must show to the trade unionist for a possible bonus these are ParaNorman Prime so what's the next part of my plan not the opportunity for a chat no that's 561 no that's not it although you know not bad stab in the dark I think your opponent's worked out obviously once there's a three it's nothing to do with binary they are palindromic prime numbers and the next would be a hundred and fifty-one prime numbers that read the same backwards and forwards no points on that one trade unionists only water remaining for you I'd like to know what is the fourth in this sequence here's the first next please Oh freedom of speech is the first the freedom religions not the Second Amendment that's fine to bear so I see how the unit of having to UNC for free what's the next one next please freedom can fear sounds right to me that's what I think I think that's right from fear you think correctly it is right from fear is the last ones why the four freedoms there are the four freedoms as expressed by Franklin D Roosevelt in his message the Congress in January 1941 freedom of speech and expression freedom of religion freedom from want freedom from fear very good score at the end of Round two then the Edwards family have got six points but the trade unionists are ahead with 12 round three is the connecting wall and it's going to be going live online if you fancy playing along at the same time as watching and if your attention span is even shorter than that why not listen to an iPod as well trade unionists your turn to go first this time so please choose lion or water Byun

four points for the groups you found three bonus points that's a total of seven let's see what that does to the scores going into round 4 the Edwards family have got 13 points the trade unionists are ahead with 19 so into round for the missing vowels round this is where we take well-known names phrases sayings titles anything like that remove the vowels and squidge together the consonants teams
