That moment was quite incredible.

That's two episodes in which I've felt quite smug for getting a film related question on the second clue, while the contestants flounder towards the wrong answer (I was mostly useless for the rest of the time though).

Can someone give me a clue - what time in the episode does this happen (sorry - I'm genuinely on the horns of a dilemma, where my time is too precious to watch a whole episode of a week-old quiz show I don't really like, but apparently not sufficiently precious that I'd want to not see it)?

Last round so about 25 minutes into it.

[gilbertharding]

Molte grazie.

I expect you'll be underwhelmed.

[gilbertharding]

Far happier about being underwhelmed after a few moments than having to watch the whole thing.

I actually don't mind Only Connect when it's on, but I wouldn't seek it out. Actually, that's a problem I have with a lot of tv, which means all the 'binging on box sets' (or even, just finding something to stream) is a bit of a problem for me.

I was a bit annoyed by the Xbox question this week. I knew the connection from the first clue, but had to wait for the second to know the sequence. Then again, that isn't unusual for the second round.
