Only Connect

[twentysix by twentyfive]

You know - that Victoria Coren thing on BBC 4.

It seems mighty impossible to me. I can sort of do the last round - the missing vowels one - sometimes. The rest is just impossible.

Can you get the answers?

 

[colly]

Never seen, or heard, of it. So, no, I can't get any of the answers.

 

[Rykard]

there's a link to 300+ walls on the bbc website

 

[Stonechat]

Get the occasional answer.
If I watch university challenge I get a lot of answers and feel smart. Never feel smart after watching this

Frequently - and often before the teams. It's the one telly quiz I'd like to have a bash at.

Another BBC nepotism show?

 

[Noodley]

It is utter smug bollocks, all the teams are nobbers and Victoria Coren is nobber-in-chief; not fecking one of them would last beyond the first round on Pointless (a proper show!)

How often do you watch it ?

Most of the knockout format quiz shows have the same level of questions through out the series, Only Connect really does ramp it up as the rounds progress. By the semi-finals and final some of the connections are ridiculously difficult. I start off feeling quite smug but by the end of the series i am struggling to keep up.

Good show though.

Ditto.

Though I've always found I get a bit distracted when the camera focuses on the host. I've had a crush on Victoria Coren for 20-odd years.

I generally watch at this time of year as the nights are drawing in. Tune in after Uni Challenge.
You are correct - they do ramp up the difficulty.
I find it fascinating - the depth of knowledge and the lateral thinking. Stretches the brain

She does have an odd sense of humour tho'

OK I'll say it. I think University Challenge has been dumbed down in recent years.

I'll leave aside your crushes (I don't think I knew who VCM was 20 years ago - even though we must have overlapped at university for several years).

You're an intelligent chap with a decent knowledge of popular music and sport. And of night cycling. Join the dots.

Victoria Coren. Yum.

If I could 'only connect' with her!

Dear Noodley do I detect a teensy smidgeon of attitude problems!!!???
