Only Connect (BBC4)

Me too, I only recognise about half the names so it would be limited what i could ask for.

Imagine if all the ones i knew were gone and I had to ask for "That squiggly one at the bottom, please Victoria?"

I'd better not be captain.
 
She's gotten away with some on the line comments. The first show she went rambling on about affairs and last night she had a "joke" about the Chuckle Brothers doing a better job than Gordon Brown.



I agree that she does come across as a bit of a matron or mistress ;) and maybe that why they have let her out of her power suits and let her were some girlie clothes.
 
Almost as bad as thinking Buffy hunted vampires for a living when in fact her career path took her from burger joint to school councillor
 
Wall 29 was easy. There was only one trick one but otherwise I got them straight away.

wall 30 - I could see the 4 groups fairly easily (Seven being written in letters is a big clue) but it took me a bit of guessing to get the final member of each one. All numbers wall was a great idea - I hope they have them in the show.
 
It astounRAB me as well how many times the host take pee as there is no prize and sort of mocks the contestants and they don't get it:D:D:D

This show just seems an ego trip to get oneself on tv . Some people will do anything for that for that and if that is the case that is what mastermind is for not a show that mocks the people on it it with the hosts non sarcastic wit.
 
That's caught me out, too. It's usually on 4 times a week, or was last time, with 2 eps each on Mon and Thurs. Anyone know why there's only the one? I've caught most of tonight's but will have to catch the start another way.
 
Seriously, standard practice around these parts is only to require spoilers for information pre-broadcast. If you don't want to get "spoiled" by something that's already been broadcast, don't come into the thread until you've watched the show!

I like this show, but there's one thing that annoys me about La Coren (and I do like her otherwise, in fact I'm quite a fan of hers). She's one of those women who talk through their noses.
 
That's right, you've answered your own question. In chess notation, Knight is N and K is reserved for King, so the full series would go:

QR QN QB Q K KB KN KR

(they just say King or Queen, no real need to say King's King).
 
He shouldn't have sneered, but there's nothing wrong with being a Smiths fan.

I've got a lot more time for time for people who like the Smiths than for people who like the drivel that passes for music now:- Beyonce, Rihanna, Usher, Black Eyed Peas - what is this cr@p?
 
We'd accept either because they both fit the letters and one's an Anglicised version of the other (as was another question: Sporting Lisbon). Or to put it another way, to say it was outright wrong would have been harsh.
 
Yeah! I got a five-pointer!:D

I knew that was the launch date of ITV. (Well, if you'd asked me to name the exact date, I wouldn't have been able to answer, but put the date up in a connection and I can work it out.)
 
Good lord, I was sure that the Gamblers would walk it after the connecting wall - I was having kittens (well, wombats) during that last round.

Well played Gamblers! I like to think of myself as reasonably bright, but I would be a floundering basket-case compared to you lot.
