It's only when watching Only Connect being viewed on Gogglebox this week that you see some neutral opinions on the show and begin to realise how bad it really is. I say this as an Only Connect fan who watches every episode.
The concept of Only Connect is fine to an extent but there are so many flaws in the execution of it that it really is a bit laughable. I don't suppose they are going to drastically overhaul the program at such a late date but it's what's needed to make this show in any way reasonable.

I'm going to regret saying this, but what flaws, and how do you think they should be fixed?
What I should have said is longest consecutive sequence of prime numbers if you consider 1 as a prime.
But why would you do that when it isn't? And if anybody thinks that's pedantic then tough.
I watched that Gogglebox programme and wonder where they get some of them from. Liked the guy and his family celebrating recognising the tomato aphorism. But the guy at the end saying OC is for intellectuals was wrong. It's for quiz enthusiasts as most of the clues are based on obscure knowledge even if you need a bit of lateral thinking to work it out sometimes.
Led Zep albums. The first 3 were just the band name with the number.
The 4th album has many names (e.g. The Fourth Album ;-)) but is officially untitled.

Yeah well then it should at the very least be <blank>, II, III, ...? But you'd have to account for the lack of band name on the fourth one.

Actually, I think you'll find the correct sequence is:
1, 2, 3, 619647894338928540916306535
I think there may be a decimal point in there too. But don't quote me...
Obviously the answer is 'GO'
;-)
Mine is actually a valid connection, I didn't just pull the '14' out of my arse y'know!
Wouldn't that need to be 3, 2, 1 ....
Perhaps there should be a competition every week for the most obscure alternative correct answer to the sequence.
See if you can work why this is a valid last answer...
1, 2, 3, ... "nothing".
It's not actually that obscure and certainly not complicated. ;-)
Longest possible sequence of prime numbers?
Is it a U2 reference?
Well done.
I still can't work out how this is the sequence even knowing it is related to U2.
No, it's nothing like as slick as that. You're example above is closer in fact. ;-)
At the beginning of the song Bono counts the beat off in Spanish "Uno, dos, tres, catorce!" - which isn't "1,2,3,4" but actually "1,2,3,14"
Aha! Cool cheers.
I was hoping that you were going to say that there is a U2 song with a lyric including
"# I didn't just pull the '14' out of my arse y'know! #"

The answer is 6.
These are the first four integers that when spelt out in full contain an odd number of letters.
ONE
TWO
THREE
four
five
SIX
Simple when you think about it, really.
Nothing. Nothing needs to be fixed. The format and difficulty of the questions don't need dumbing down just to appeal to a wider audience.
OK, cough up...
How about 3, 5, 7, 13? Genuine one.
P.S. Seems I was beaten to it by another great mind.
