Only Connect (BBC4)

Not sure about the questions in general but I do think that the walls were both particularly easy last night, much more so than usual.

Oh and the cartoon question, I thought that actually started out easy and got harder rather than the other way round! I knew Bananman and Family Guy and I could guess at the Flintstones but Mr Benn was before my time.

Perhaps it was a question of quality rather than prudishness, given her job on the erotic review.

Also, and probably inappropriately given the above, I'd just like to mention it's three years today since she (and we) lost her father, the great Alan Coren, a truly intellectual entertainer

 

[eyestache]

Thanks. Any air date for it? It doesn't seem to be in the schedule for the monday of the week following the final...

But it's not as if The Saint's little riff isn't quite well known, and The Prisoner has been repeated a few times.[

She certainly is, also daughter of the late Alan Coren who was editor of Punch.

She earns a fair wack from her poker playing skills.

Glad I'm not the only one really enjoying this series!!

Much weaker team this week. Either of the teams from last week would have thumped the ones this week.

Fancy not knowing the Star Trek films

 

[shorti]

Yes, he's the one I had to audition for Are You An Egghead with. He was just the same then..

 

[ErynJean]

I got some of the word clues at the end
I guessed the snooker players one, they werent all current though, I mean Virgo isnt is he?
The one with Roman Numeral sounRAB had me going "Doh! Thats it!"

 

[Tiya]

Thanks for that. So it's like an extra series we wouldn't have had then. More Ms Coren is always a plus

 

[lady_armand2]

I thought she was very good on QT last week. Giving an outsider's view of politics and polititians, mixed with her own (OK somewhat strange ) sense of humour.

 

[zxdfmlp]

I think that is because the tournament is over.

 

[Richard 78]

The Walker, Whitworth and Baltic galleries (entire galleries, not just rooms) are all pretty famous... about the most famous ones outside of London and Oxbridge.

 

[Chuckwalla]

I knew this too. In fact I had quite a good game last night.

By the way, I suppose a few of you will be going round to duff up a few of those tetchy mothers in the near future...

 

[michelleb256]

It's definitely my favourite quiz not on a mainstream channel, and come to think of it I can't think of any better mainstream quizzes either!
As for the fourth round, it depenRAB on the theme as to whether you're interested. As a French student, I liked the French prime number one. But when it came to the Shakespeare quotes, I knew I wouldn't get any so I wasn't too interested.

I liked Victoria's Question Editor missing vowels quip:

"I'll accept insufferable bore."

Sorry David, if you're reading.

 

[Cubhouse]

And is a total babe too. I Tivo'd the show last night for the first time. Had no idea whe was presenting it. BONUS I even got one of the connections before the contestants

 

[wagEr]

It was a shame that, during the "french" missing vowels round, you couldn't have had:

VLZV SCCH RVC MCSR

Hopefully nobody would have got it and Vicky would have to have read out the answer

Was impressed with this week's winners, but they did have a much easier wall than the other team.
