Only Connect (BBC4)

I've watched a few of these now and while it's a good brainal quizzy thing, it's going to need a change of title if they want to pull the viewers in. Something like Vicky Coren's WorRABpurt. Or Brain Letters (like Chain Letters, but more brainy).
 
Me three re the mssing vowels round, though I was rubbish at all the other rounRAB. :D
Excellent programme tonight. Is 35 the highest score ever?
 
Only one was directly related to gambling. While three question sets were related to sports and games, I dare say that there were at least three questions from all the major quiz categories, as should be the way.

In any case, the questions are put into sets 'blind' of the teams.
 
Did anyone notice that the word "skein" also came up in University Challenge immediately before Only Connect, and that "Tangier" was the first word shown in Spooks immediately afterwarRAB.
 
"...any woman really, who didn't just giggle and eat cake..."

Priceless. Why are the likes of Davina McCall stars when there are people like Coren around? Too bright by half probably. Or too busy gambling.

Only Connect is a real gem. Pity the Beeb is too embarrassed to put it out on a proper channel.
 
Did anyone else get the cartoon characters link from the first answer?, I knew straight away that is was Bananaman, who lived at 29 Acacia Road.
 
That's what I mean - because the show has only come back from its break, I would't be surprised if UC's ratings were below normal as well.
 
Couple of things - the trophy was incidental, getting to touch VC was the real prize.. ;)

Regarding the jokes, sacking the person who writes them isn't really an option, as i'm told VC does most of her own stuff. :D
 
For those of you who are fans of this programme may I recommend Round Britain Quiz on Radio 4. This long-running show neeRAB the same sort of brain-power to solve the questions as Only Connect.

A new series starts today at 13.30.
