What: Only Connect is a BBC Two game show that's all about lateral thinking. It's presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell and one day, maybe soon, I will do a post just on her amazing opening monologues.
The show has four rounds:
1. Connections: Clues are revealed one at a time and teams have to guess what connects them. Buzzing in sooner gets you more points.
2. Sequences: Similar to Connections, but the clues are in a particular order and you have to fill in the last blank.
3. Connecting Wall: Pure madness.
4. Missing Vowels: Word puzzles with the vowels removed. A lightning round!
Comparable to: It is the game show equivalent of The Great British Bake Off, full of earnest, nice people doing very clever things. Plus a snarky host!
How to get it: Currently airing on BBC Two, but episodes from all 13 (!) seasons [series] are pretty discoverable on YouTube.
