    #1 - Archers Admirers vs Music Lovers

    Loading...
    S3:E1

    Quiz show presented by Victoria Coren in which knowledge will only take you so far, as patience and lateral thinking are also vital.

They compete to draw together the connections between things which, at first glance, seem utterly random, from AC battery to compass wrench to glass hammer to long stand.
