What: Victoria Coren Mitchell hosts the quiz show Only Connect (see Rec. #580), and she does a superb job. For example, she opens every episode with a short, genuinely funny introduction delivered blithely in very challenging circumstances --- no live audience; just six nerds with stage fright who can, at best, manage an awkward chuckle.
Representative quote:
"Hello and welcome to Only Connect, and this is a semifinal. Things don't get much bigger than this, although as the word 'semi' suggests, they do get a LITTLE bit bigger."
How to get it: Many, many episodes of Only Connect are available on YouTube. Do check out Rec. #580 for more information.
