Only Connect - Series 5/6 - Champion of Champions

15:46 I actually knew that one and was screaming at the screen "OPERA, OPERA, why won't nobody say OPERA?"

[@charlytaylor1748]

I'm surprised none of the 6 recognised it!

[@candicezhang8619]

6 British trivia champions:casually missed the questions of Narnia and Catherine Parr. Me, a Chinese: how the fk did you miss that, I thought you guys are British!!!!

[@therumeon2704]

I actually had "ways of getting to Narnia" in round one, once the third picture showed up! I literally awarded myself a beer for that! HAHA

[@oxoelfoxo]

But the 4th one should have been a picture of the Dawn Treader, not the ship in the water. And the pool was way bigger than I think they were in the Wood Between the Worlds.

[@ersatz_ben]

I didn't think "much smaller than they were intended to be" deserved to get the points.

[@frowlinian8175]

I kind of agree but the measurements were smaller than they were intended

[@ericforsyth]

Frowlinian: For the climate orbiter, the contract stipulated using newton-seconds, which are much smaller than the pound-force seconds they ended up using. For the other three (inches instead of feet, pounds instead of kilograms and centimetres instead of inches), though, you’re right.

[@simonk8708]

@@ericforsyth Yes, but they didn't reference any sort of measurements so what they say are directly describing the things in question, therefore, they are absolutely wrong, as the mars rover itself was not smaller than intended to be.

[@Jusbamaan]

How did youtube know to show me this right after seeing Tenet

[@kennytran4]

8:11 seems like a missed opportunity! Should have put in Ace Attorney (Phoenix Wright) instead of Professor Layton! Though kudos to the question writer for putting in a game reference :P

[@thetrickster42]

Kenny T I thought the same!

[@ericforsyth]

Whoever put the game reference in probably thought it too obvious

[@Will.Henderson]

I thought it was meant to be a bit of a red herring with Layton, since both he and Uncle Sam also wear top hats

[@Agrarius24]

Will Henderson lol i shouted top hats after two clues and now i feel dumb

[@Miniyana]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Kernel15]

I guessed it the moment "Mars Climate Orbiter" came out. Practically all my Science teachers have used it to expound upon the importance of having the right units. It's probably the only thing I've gotten 5 points on in the 1st round HAHAHA

[@ikinglopez749]

I like this! It's a tight race.

[@Shmiguelly]

Dom Tait. Oof. Gorgeous man.

[@dubliam8064]

Ace Attorney would have made more sense for the pointing question instead of Layton

[@8balljunkie]

Due to the background everytime the camera pans on Holly, her hand is straight up like a teacher asking questions 🤣🤣

[@Rea84]

the face william de ath makes when he's introduced... what

[@redmed10]

Think his surname was death but instead of changing it completely he put a space in the middle thinking it would throw us off the scent.

[@steveblack3594]

Those tables look like they're meant to fit together. Did someone fuck up the angles? Did the lighting bleed between tables? This hurts my brain more than the questions.

[@daruddock]

I simply can't par the 'sting' question with the music used from the show, because it must definitely is the end of the theme song and isn't used anywhere else that I can tell. Victoria even said 'i bet you feel bad after hearing the midround sting' but it wasn't the same piece.

[@Sleve-McDichael]

It is, it's used in-between the walls round and the missing vowels round

[@ReadandWite]

And it's a thank you as well from me (to misquote Morecambe and Wise).

[@kristenblount8422]

Shouldn't the answer (in the pagan festival sequence) have been Litha? The first 3 are the more traditional germanic/pagan names listed on the "wheel of the year" so why switch it up on #4?

[@shiverbay]

She approved of Betsy Trotswood when the word was actually Trotwood. One consonant was let go :)

[@The1234philly]

6:00 - I can say the given answer for this question is wrong! its not the ship how they get into Narnia in the Voyage of the Dawn Threader, it was a painting. I would have put my foot in if I was there XDD

[@Carpetf]

nice TENET reference

[@droneXA]

ahh, I was cheering for the losing team :(

[@leporid257]

ends with "heart"... before that"with my"... then kk? not quit playing breaking my heart? solve: some Shakespeare stuff

[@User0000000000000004]

STING?! Damn Brits.

[@marahopey]

Victoria looks rough this episode... late night?

[@satnitcboy]

They do so many episodes in a single day that she is worn out long before the contestants. THis being the last show of the season it would be the last of the day it was shot ... so, how many before ? It seems I heard her mention somewhere that they do 4 or 5 in a day.

[@emer157]

@@satnitcboy worn out?? Sitting behind a desk must be exhausting!

[@ericforsyth]

E mer: Physical and mental exertion are different matters.

Your definition of rough, differs from mine. She looks good to me! David is a lucky man!
