    We're gonna try to do with Only Connect what we did with Pointless, it might work, it might be an unmitigated high brow disaster!

    Victoria Coren Mtchell is our host with plenty of sassy quips to keep us going!

    Let's play Only Connect! In an hour and 12 minutes...

    The missing vowels round is my fave
