A very tough episode tonight I thought with some really bruising questions!
The footballers had a few familiar names from the quizzing world which is a common occurrence on Only Connect. Michael Mcpartland has been on various quiz shows, including Eggheads, and has beaten the top UK quizzers in a Last Man standing event at last years World Quiz Championships. Barry Humphrey recently triumphed on Cleverdicks too so I imagined this was going to a hard team to beat.
And that proved to be the case. Taking the lead early on the Footballers never let it slide. I learned plenty tonight as well including the lovely fact that Three Men and a Baby is a remake of a French film and that Mondegreens is the term used for Misheard lyrics. Either way the latter was lapped up by the Footballers who took an 8-7 lead after the first two rounds.
The wall round defeated the Second Violinists who had a very tough wall scoring no points on the matches and only 2 on the connections. The only one I spotted was the Mel Gibson movies! The Footballers on the other hand had an equally tough wall but managed to score 2 connections and 2 matches to take them into a 12-8 lead.
We have seen the games totally turn on the missing vowels round in recent weeks and anything could happen. Indeed the Second Violinists pulled it back a little but once the Racecourse round hit the Footballers build up a solid lead, Barry Humphrey firing in answers on both this and famous feminists.
It ended up 18-11 and a good win for the Footballers who will take some beating indeed!
Another entertaining show!

I wrote the "French remakes" question, and until I researched it, I didn't know that "True Lies" was originally French. I wonder what a Gallic Arnie is like...
