Weekend Replay: Part Three of “Only Connect”
Here it is. It’s the final part of the one of my favorite British game shows, Only Connect. Here comes a few new ways of playing, including the connecting wall and a speed round on buzzers to determine the winner.
I agree with a lot of you commenters: I think some form of college tournament on PBS or Discovery could be a ton of fun. Maybe someone will take note? And hopefully we’ll have a second season of this show in England, so we can show you more. We’ll try to get another episode to show you, since it seems so many of you enjoy the show.
You got the one about fonts, but what about the two groups of women?
The fonts I knew without having to look them up; I had to “cheat” to find out the others were Miss Americas and the Baby-Sitters Club. . . .
OK…you looked them up. That wasn’t how I wanted it to go.
Here’s another one:
ZACH, TRINI, BILLY, KIMBERLY, AND JASON
BALTHAZAR, CASPAR, AND MELCHIOR
And more from the game of definitions:
LOCAL 12-VILLAINS, THIEVES, AND SCOUNDRELS UNION
SIMON MORGENSTERN
THE DWARF CAVENDISH
STU SUTCLIFFE
THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS
RIFFRAFF, MAGENTA, AND COLUMBIA
THE ISLETS OF LANGERHANS
