Only Connect Quiz #2

Hosted by Victoria Coren Mitchell, Only Connect is a British quiz show known for its fiendishly difficult questions. This quiz has adapted Rounds 1, 2 and 4 (rules below). Can you find the connections?

Round 1: Identify the connection between the four given clues. Try to use keywords rather than sentences for the purposes of type-ins.

Round 2: Identify the connection between the three given clues and then identify what the fourth in the sequence would be.

Round 4: Identify groups of words/phrases which have had their vowels removed. Ys are never omitted.

Some of these clues come directly from the show.

Thank you for playing the second instalment of what I hope will become a series of Only Connect quizzes – with more original questions (at least as far as I am aware), the addition of Round 1 questions, and less weighting on missing vowel questions, I would like to think this is an improvement on the previous quiz!

Unfortunately, due to the nature of Round 1, I cannot guarantee that every way of describing the answer to each question will be included. I have tried to limit the type-ins to single words to accept most variations. If, however, there is a type-in that I have missed that you believe should be accepted, don't hesitate to suggest it in the comments!

Hi again! I've decided to almost double the time limit because I realised that 8 minutes is perhaps not enough to really get a look at all the questions.

This will more closely reflect the time limits used on the actual show:

Round 1: 40 seconds each (total 400 seconds)

Round 2: 40 seconds each (total 400 seconds)

Round 4: 90 seconds for a maximum of 16 questions (Approx. 112 seconds for 20 questions, rounded up to 120)

TOTAL: 920 seconds (rounded down to 900 seconds)

Hopefully with the extended time limit, it will be a bit easier and more enjoyable (and more satisfying, I suppose!).

Thanks again for playing!

Is there any way to see what the connection is in round 2? I can see the answers, but nothing to say what the connection is.

Good point! I'll make a doc explaining all the questions.

Well, you may think so, but many folk watch the UK TV series. Your logic seems to be that what is beyond you is ridiculous?
