Only Connect (BBC4)

[Pokemon★master]

I think the walls are much harder that the ones in the programme; or do they just seem so? Not doing very well so far, only got part of one right out of 4!

I can't believe those youngsters didn't get the Spanish Inquisition round.

Maybe they just weren't expecting it.

 

[Kop m]

Is the no-repeat down to ratings? Trying to get people to watch the original BBC4 broadcast?

 

[Accisej55]

Thanks for the heaRAB up (but eyes down!).

Last night's quarter-final made the preceding University Challenge seem easy-peasy, which it was in all honesty. Only Connect is going to break my brain by the final if it gets any more tricksy (and our evil Question-setter extraordinaire makes me fear the worst).

VC seems to be having a great time being the mistress of mean!

So, own up, who else would like to "take Victoria round the back"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To do the "Tournament", you have to login and the login button has never worked for me. Click it and nowt happens. Is this what you mean by the 15 Walls?

But I've done the Play for Fun Walls as they were there earlier this year. There's 30 of those, and most (if not all) are repetitions of what's been on the show over the first two series.

I got the "Sun editors" connection this week - although maybe I shouldn't be so proud of that

I was amused by how wrong the guy's guess for that one was though

 

[Laughable]

Ooohhhh Errrrrrrr, missus!!!!!!!! Don't encourage them!

Thinking about it, her father would have been ideal if he'd still been around. I wonder if that's why she got the job. Like father like daughter? Not, unfortunately.

Regarding the mad question I thought that one of the sayings was "mad as a bag of spanners" not "hammers".

 

[big_swinns]

No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition

Funnily enough I only know the sketch from the film Sliding Doors so although I recognised what the sequence was I had no idea of the fourth answer!

Another strong missing vowels round otherwise my only other was second --- on the wall.

The trouble with this game is when I know an answer (esepcially on the wall) I end up shouting at the TV as if the contestants will hear me

Thinking about it, Only Connect *is* pretty close to the concept of Numberwang and Wordwang.

I liked the 1691 1881 1961 6009 question last night.

 

[MC Slish]

Looking forward to the final next week and will be supporting the Rugby Boys as they have the hilarious Chaser in their team

 

[Emys]

Yes to the first - didn't watch Spooks

 

[<---Click my Question]

Well.

If I didn't feel completely inadequate earlier in the series (which I did!), I do now (in spades!).

Great line from La Coren about EdwardIIIs crown being pawned to pay for a war on France ("money well spent")

But how smug did the leader of the Crossworders look?

[dan_kessler34]

Nice one, ta.

 

[linedancer563]

Yes. I believe it is.

 

[killakatnow]

Nice having a Noel Coward round (as I knew them all), and Voodoo Chile making an appearance always earns bonus points from me (though the team calling it Purple Haze should have been docked points for overly smug misidentification).

Still easily the best tv quiz with the the hostess with the mostest, I'm glad to say I've seen every episode of OC.

And Presentable, the company that produced this quiz was the same one that produced all those late night poker shows. It's all about connections...
