Only Connect

But, yeah, going back to the original question of who was my Newcastle night hero, I'd probably put it on Robert as a kid.

On Newcastle French left wingers, David Ginola was a clue on Only Connect last night.

Oh, was

he? Nice, there we are.

You repeat the process aiming to guess the category with as few clues as possible." Um-

Well, it is kind of like Only Connect.

Yeah.

All right.

And he is, of course, the writer of Auckland quiz books, New Zealand quiz books and international quiz books.

And he sets the questions for the BBC TV quiz show Only Connect.

Good morning, Jack.

Good morning.

Gee,

But just for...

It might not make sense if people haven't heard it, but your Only Connect double tributes in the style of Oasis and then Blur is just wonderful.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thanks very much.

I don't know where that idea came from, but I suddenly it struck me because I'm always watching Only Connect and just thinking, what are they going on about? I mean, what are these questions and these these these delightfully eccentric contestants? And I just I for some reason, I just thought of Liam Gallagher sitting there watching it and getting really annoyed.

I don't like swearing in my comedy, but staying true to character to Liam, there's a lot of swearing in it.

1% club's good right Clearly Like on in The first series Is him off the cuff Clearly now The vet are the contestants So he can do a gag about it And I love his show But that does my nutting Because he'll go Alright Shed So if you leave her a job And then they'll say something stupid And then he'll tell a gag

Hello, Jack.

Hello,

That genuinely, that does something.

Whereas if I ever by any chance guess anything on Only Connect, it's a very different sort of, you know, it's a less hooliganist, you know, spurry, yes.

It's more of a genteel, yes.

But there's a pride with those.

Yes.

Especially at Only Connect where you watch the opening rounds of Only Connect and you go, oh, I'm quite good at this.

And then they get to the quarterfinals and you go, no, I'm not.

No, not at all.
