I don't know whether any of you have watched this quiz (Probably not, as it's on BBC4!) but the Quiz_Beagle will be appearing on January 4th at 8.30 p.m. I hope at least some of you can watch it..

Do they ever put it up on Youtube or somewhere us Yanks can watch?

It does appear on YouTube sometimes - and yes, Dippo - I shall probably remind people every hour, on the hour as it gets nearer!

I've just watched the recording - what exalted opposition you had! I knew you would get that first question right (the animals one). I shall say nothing further here, in case anyone else is going to watch the later shows, or has it recorded.

I've never seen the show before but I will make a point of watching it in future. It makes a nice change to see an intelligent quiz show, where you are encouraged to be clever rather than dumbing down. I like connections/common bond type quizzes, so all in all it was very enjoyable.

Oh, just realised I missed it! But on the plus side, I have a day at home today, and can get it 'on demand' so I shall rush off now with a pile of ironing and watch it !

Darn! Mibmob was on it last year and she emailed many of us so I had due warning. But if it's on iplayer I'll be on it tomorrow so no big deal.

I have learnt that many of the virtually professional TV quizzers (and winners) are regulars here. When you play the global or similar, and discover you're up with some of them you realise there's an international standard of quizzing and we can hold our own with many of them. I'm sure many others here know who I mean, and probably many more who go incognito.

Way to go QB, you and the guys gave that Exeter lot a sound thrashing. Best of luck in the semi-finals ;-)

Did you all do the happy beagle dance after that one? Poor things didn't know what had hit them! Very well done.
My younger daughter (aged 13) says to pass on her congrats as well. She has recently been bitten by the quiz bug and loves the show, though we both sit there utterly bamboozled by it.

Do you know who you are playing in the semis?

May I also add a "well done" to Mr Beagle and good luck for the remaining games.

Regarding the programme, I thought you all might like to know that the bbc only connect website now has 15 "walls" for us mere mortals to have a go at. Very challenging.

www.bbc.co.uk/onlyconnect/quiz/

and click "play".

I've just been on the site trying out the wall (but we won't talk about that ).
I see you are playing my 2nd favourite team in the semi-finals - I was sort of hoping to see you both in the finals.

Comiserations QB, thought you were going to make a late comeback in the last round but those Gamblers were certainly on top of their game.
