Only Connect

My favourite brain addling quiz show has finally returned to BBC 2. Started last night at 8pm. It's wonderful. It plays havoc with your brain cells and really screws with your mind.

Re: Only Connect

I love that programme PV. Before C19 - Monday nights would find me at friends house - we would open a bottle of red wine, break out the crisps, and watch Mastermind, Only Connect, and University Challenge! You are right though - it banjaxes the brain cells!

We love Monday nights too. We actually got four right on Only Connect (I think that might be a record) and we beat the Royal Academy of Music by twenty points.

Beat you, Longdogs. We scored 15 on OC (mostly gained on the wall and missing vowels round).

As for the RA of Music, weren't they rubbish?

Well done Tabbs We got 6 on the water wall and solved the lion wall. We actually managed to get some of the sequences in Rounds1 & 2 too but the missing vowels at the end were very tough this week imho.

I forgot about the missing vowels round. We normally do quite well on that too but the wall is harder with all its red herrings.

Re: Only Connect

Last week's walls were really tough. Didn't make any connections on either.
