Only Connect: Al Frescans v Sprouters

November 9, 2024 4:12 PM - Season 20, Episode 13

The Al Frescans and the Sprouters return to slug it out for a place in the next round - the winners go straight through, the losing team takes a more scenic route. Bearded, ancient and bearded, Sunday and trinity and tobacco. What connects them all?

Good teams, the Sprouters dominated the missing vowels round, it felt like it was going to be closer than it was! I didn't know why but I felt pretty sure that it was 4/4 1, but I thought it was a music thing.

Also, I do love her taking the piss out of Michael Portillo is all her ending remarks. Just perfect.

VC's Portillo jokes are based very much on the Samantha (and Sven) jokes in BBC Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. I believe she's a big fan of the programme.
