Only Connect - Wall Night Special 1 - Part 1

Only Connect's Wall Night Special 1, Part 1 of 2.

[@georgedoty-williams2085]

YES! I never thought I'd be seeing Tom Scott again, but here he is, the Hitchhikers! And while they didn't do so well with the Wall, their opponents were worse so I am happy!

[@fillthecrown7034]

The speed and memory of the person in control of the screen has such an effect on the result wow

[@Yossus]

It's astonishing to me to see a team just have no idea who Mark Zuckerberg is. Times really have changed huh.

[@zolobataricus]

On the other hand, no one knows who David Filo is nowadays. Not to mention the two Google products that don't exist anymore.

[@imokin86]

When Zuckerberg was not a household name

[@user-ht5ce2it3z]

When did this episode air? I know this was posted 9 years ago that was 2014 and I feel like people knew who Mark Zuckerberg was then.

[@sylv2904]

Late 2011

[@landonjennings6969]

hazzah another one with Tom Scott

[@cmcculloch1]

i was thinking it sounded exactly like him til it went to a face shot of him haha

[@karlkastor]

22:00 Tom Scott

[@martinfarrelly3812]

He was correct about the last group being comic book characters, all four are Marvel properties

[@ashermain_2000]

21:33 is what you're looking for

[@Rosguard0]

I was shouting Kurt Godel into the screen for so long XD

[@atomicmrpelly]

STOP SAYING DEADLY NIGHTSHADE

[@steved8193]

I came to the comments to check someone had said this.

[@LordAmeth]

Is that Tom Scott, KZbin star!? Awesome.

[@LordAmeth]

Happy to help.

[@Freakschwimmer]

For academic purposes? :)

[@chrisst8922]

The wall is the best part of the programme.

[@IamNasman]

So this is where Tom Scott got his taste for facts

[@kieran_hammond]

Why did they not tap anything, they have unlimited attempts at the start! At least guess something. How did they make it this far?

[@diabl2master]

Kieran Hammond guessing at random is very very unlikely to work. 1820 combinations. better to have a think at first.

[@user-cz3sl5gr3n]

10:05 In Canada there is Hunting(t)on's disease, but I have never heard of Hunting(d)on's disease, so that part confused me. Also interesting to hear that Lou Gehrig's is not commonly known in the UK. In the UK, is Hunting(d)on's a thing? Is it the same as Hunting(t)on's, or a different condition entirely?

[@laurax1179]

In the UK Lou Gehrig’s disease is know as MND (motor neurone disease). We also have HuntingTons disease rather than Huntingdons so I think maybe the D was changed to a T on naming the disease.

[@Yossus]

Huntingdon is a place, so I figure it was intended as a red herring. They made a mistake, really should have spelled it with a T as that's the name of the person.

[@toastoneggs7356]

Lol got bra instantly only one ever hahaha

[@roberthayes9842]

Watched this and ended up speaking Chinese haven't been right since

[@JervisGermane]

The Travel Writers got an impossible one. I saw the Google grouping, but I wouldn't have seen any of the others

[@SnabbKassa]

But Earth has been retired and plus was a total failure.

[@jdrukman]

i'm usually pretty terrible at this but i got the robert altman and google ones fairly quickly.

[@BigAsciiHappyStar]

The Admirers should have said “all treble clefs” instead of “no idea”

[@katekennedy4292]

bruce lin is back!! :D but doesn't know his brassieres :(

[@christophersims7426]

I don't think she should've given them dynasties - I don't believe any of those names actually refer to dynasties as opposed to just kingdoms or other polities and the actual connection is very tight.

[@CurveTheRain]

Oh my god its Tom!?!

[@Harmonikdiskorde]

I would like a timeline of tom's haircuts! It's shorter now than when he was on originally, and in his videos it's even shorter.

[@DamonWakefield]

IT'S TOM SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EmmaRatcliffe58]

Why is there bbc four

[@peterebel]

SWORD PARTS! I got one-

[@scar3953]

25:38 victoria gliitches

[@CISmith-li8nb]

Wouldn’t it be more interesting and fair if they had to solve the same wall?

[@virg0_lem0nade]

i think TBF it would be the exact opposite of "more interesting" for the audience.

[@ComeJesusChrist]

Is that Rowan Atkinson’s taller brother?

[@domj3698]

Big up my man bedford, however Victoria it's actually the River Great Ouse, the River Ouse is in and around Yorkshire, passing through Goole, so I'm afraid I can't let you have that one

[@PjD0150]

The Dirham is an Asian currency not an African one. The UAE is in Asia.

[@gwishart]

Morroco's currency is also called the dirham, and Morroco is definitely in Africa.

[@PjD0150]

gwishart oh I didn’t realise that. Thanks for letting me know.

[@zmaj12321]

How did the knitters not get the fourth group?

[@brucedickinson12]

victoria would get it

[@leporid257]

she's really smart

[@patharrington8127]

stop saying deadly nightshade

[@poopMcGee2012]

really love the purity of race in these videos

[@kimphi5372]

The fancy mark prospectively disapprove because canada sporadically drag beyond a enormous michael. quaint, lovely helen
