Only Connect - Series 10 - Episode 21

Colour me surprised seeing half of the No Such Thing as a Fish crew!

Anyone else shocked that the QI Elves missed 'Thackeray' in the wall round when they had decided the category was novels, and 'Vanity Fair' was included?

how the hell did they say dutch for the south africa category…

Niall Tobin😂🤣😂……Niall Tóibín……..pronounced, Neel Towbeen…Irish actor and comedian😉

Got the rugby shirt question after 2 clues. Amazed myself!

Anne is not listened to by the QI lads - and AHM is fighting to be heard and acknowledged by James.

He really has a very healthy ego - and it sounds like he managed to marry WAY ABOVE his batting record.

James really seems to think he is a team of his own.

Treasure Island for goodness sake. Who hasn't read that!

The team captain of the QI elves has no faith in the guy on his left,
Spoilers below



First he guesses Zulu, team captain uses his own guess of dutch instead, very next question they fail to identify Massachusetts, the guy to his left says "Massachusetts?" In a throwaway guess, before Victoria can reply the team captain immediately says "nah can't be"

Victoria is such an icon. How she has not been given a damehood yet is beyond my ken.

at last, a fellow mycophobe! lol

Next category, Famous Myungs

The QI Elves had a lucky break on the wall - they didn't recognize 'Catherine wheel' as a possibility, which probably would've dissuaded them from trying to brute force the first group.

Brilliant teamwork from the QI elves on the wall

As the bell went at the end of the final round my partner and I simultaneously announced "Didn't they do well!" and were begging for Victoria to take the perfect setup. She didn't. Disappointed.

I enjoy the fact that the picture of MC Hammer was labeled "Master of ceremonies".

I once lived in a residential neighbourhood which was divided in six blocks, and all of them started with M and the six first letters of the alphabet. So MA stood for Massachussets, MB for Manitoba, MC for Macau or Monaco, MD for Maryland, ME for Maine and MF for Mayotte

Not mockingbird was...Mockingbird is......!!!!!

Oh, hah, I listen to the QI Elves on their podcast, "No such thing as a fish"!

No one knows the novels of Thackeray.

The QI Elves are brilliant, but they didn't immediately recognise Manitoba or Massachusetts on a map?

throw a mushroom on that floor, i'd like to see what happens

My favourite Doctor introduction line: "Brilliant."

The captain of the the coders appears to routinely exclude Zoe when conferring.

Always happy when I hear the Ballad of Reading Gaol, even if autocorrect makes typing that really hard.

My favorite 12th Doctor line is: " These are attack eyebrows ! "

This was the first time watching this show. Wow. I love it.

David is so cute.

I am severely predating myself, since I still have to record my scores on a couple of the quizzes, but I'd just like to mention that I absolutely dislike the "Big 4-5-6" question. While it is obvious that it's not about numbers increasing, and none of us would have answerd that way since it would have been too easy, "Big 7" would be a valid answer based on the series. The fact that you're thinking about a certain series cannot negate the fact that there is another one, albeit obvious, which may claim to be correct as well. In essence: you gotta make it unique after clue 3 or just kick the question out.

I'm surprised the Elves didn't say anything about Victoria's mushroom comment about Zoe.

That was a low-scoring game, but very fun to watch. And it's nice to see the question-setters doing some trolling in the missing vowels round.

TRiG.

Does nobody understand  Spoiler-etiquette any more? FOR FUCK`S SAKE!

Thanks for posting and please don't stop until the season is finished :) I have no other way of seeing this!

That's better. I was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms. Ta & greetings from NZ.

I can't believe the QI elves didn't get the one on the Great Train Robbery; QI has discussed that on several different episodes over the years.

Just for the QI elves, they should have had "CRTHN" as one of the moons, and then given them -10 points (klaxon optional)  if they got it "right".

thanks for uploading. David looks nice ;)

Thank you thank you, thank you! Don't know if you saw my plea to you in a message I sent yesterday but, in danger of repeating myself, thank you!

Thanks for posting. Anne is just yummy!
