I am rubbish at it but enjoy watching other folks do well at it, however I cannot stand VC, she makes me want to poke spoons in my ears.

 

[Orang Utan]

Stuck on the first word - radiator? remember? recorder? register?

 

[Orang Utan]

oh wait, is it even words - maybe it's just a sequence - two single letters moving towards the centre - dunno the answer though!

 

[Orang Utan]

So it will be ___??___ but what?

 

[1927]

So it will be ___??___ but what?

I’m guessing it’s something song those lines. I did wonder if it was some sort of sequence of let’s say US presidents names, or World Cup winners, etc, or a sequence that something has to be done in.

Spymaster what was the answer?

 

[Spymaster]

Sorry. For some reason I didn't get alerts for this thread.

They are letter sequences not words.

The missing sequence is:

_ _ _ Q K _ _ _

Can you get the connection?

 

[Orang Utan]

D'oh - it's a chess board!

 

[Spymaster]

D'oh - it's a chess board!

The starting positions of the back row.

R N B Q K B N R

Fucking evil!

 

[Orang Utan]

The starting positions of the back row.

R N B Q K B N R

Fucking evil!

but wait a sec - why are they spelling Knight with an N?

 

[Spymaster]

That's how the knight is noted in chess to avoid confusion with the king which is noted as K.

It should be an H then

 

[souljacker]

I thought that question was quite easy. I also got the android operating systems one as well as a couple on the wall.

R N B Q K B N R

Ah crikey.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

The starting positions of the back row.

R N B Q K B N R

Fucking evil!

'kin hell, that's fiendish.

 

[Spymaster]

I thought that question was quite easy.

What stage did you get it at though?

 

[Spymaster]

'kin hell, that's fiendish.

And that was one of the easier ones.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

And that was one of the easier ones.

Yeah, I know. Half the fun for me watching it is just to admire the twisted brains of the question setters. Some of the walls are exquisitely well-constructed to mislead and confuse.

I find Victoria Coren Mitchell a bit grating. There's an air of smugness about the whole show too.

I can’t decide if VC is abhorrent or the woman I’d like to spend the rest of my life with, given the chance! Lol

The show is stuck firmly up its own arse but I like VC.

 

[souljacker]

What stage did you get it at though?

When it got to _N____N_

 

[SpookyFrank]

Wasn't there a 'make your own only connect wall' thread not long ago? I did one and it was a doozy.

Giles Coren is her brother is he not? He's a fucking atrocity of a man at any rate.

 

[twentythreedom]

When it got to _N____N_

a N n o y i N g

Yeah, I can't really watch it and I enjoy University Challenge! Not quite as insufferable as that grammar quiz show with Downton Abbey twat Julian Fellowes as the Chair-In-Smugness

 

[Orang Utan]

Such a terrible title too. EM Forster must be turning in his grave

In the interests of class equality I would like to kick Bradley Walsh in the bollocks too. He's awful

I'm glad I don't know who he is then

 

[twentythreedom]

I never looked into the origin of the title, but it's a shit name and you just know it could only ever have been called it as an arch, hilarious, obscure and elitist in-joke

Always makes me think about Connect 4 first off when I hear the name on TV
