From: Michael H. Phillips on 9 Apr 2010 04:37 Anyone watch Only Connect on BBC4 TV? I usually avoid quiz shows but this one is different, the questions being deliciously cryptic, and I am tickled by the presenter. One round goes like this. Three pictures are shown in sequence and the contesting team have to predict the fourth picture in the sequence, points being awarded according to the number of pictures revealed. Last night The Hitchhikers were shown a picture of a Jaguar, then a Panther. They got the answer before the third picture was shown, the answer being, of course, Snow Leopard. -- Michael mhphillips at gmail dot com

What a lovely civilised show. And yes, Coren is a rather special number. Anybody catch her on HIGNFY last night? -- Peter
