    Hot off the press, one of the questions in tonight's final of Only Connect is "what concludes the sequence nauru, Canada, BOlivia"?

    We are going to be in for a treat tonight folks <party>

    Vowel related was my first thought too and I don't even know if the capital letters or lack of them are typos on the TV guide.

    I've only caught a bit of one episode and was a bit mystified by most of it but in this example it would appear capital letters are increasing 0, 1, 2 so presumably the next has 3. Each has 5 lower case letters 3 of which are vowels. So we're looking for an 8 letter country with 3 vowels in the last 5 letters. BULgaria.

    Needed a lot more than that, the answer was SOUth africa. The capital letters at the start were how many capital cities that country has.

    There was even a bit about Super Caley Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious. Love to see Only Connect take the piss out of the papes.

    Why thank you.

    One of the questions involved Dick Fosbury and it used this same photo, it turns out he has just died. How weird is that? (Obviously it would have been filmed well before he died)

    Yes, a couple of times it featured the tarts at the Moulin Rouge when discussing Toulouse-Lautrec.
