The James Dean question was mentioned earlier in this thread, and I tried it on a film buff friend. He disagreed, so I did a bit of digging.
The sequence was: Has Anyone Seen my Gal East of Eden Rebel Without a Cause Giant and the answer shown on the screen was ‘James Dean’s Final Films’. The ever delightful Victoria Cohen-M says: ‘These are the last four films in which James Dean had a credited role.’ JD wasn't credited by name in any film before he made East of Eden. So the screen is correct and Victoria not quite? Well, Has Anyone seen my Gal was made in 1952 and in 1953 he had another uncredited role as a football spectator in Trouble Along the Way, so the entire answer seems dubious. All this gleaned from IMDB and confirmed on Wikipedia, not that that is the absolute truth. I suppose it all depends on what credited means. His character is mentioned as "Extra". So perhaps they are his last films where he had a speaking part. (?) Anyone know these earlier films? |

Yes this seems to be a bit of a mess overall. Maybe he didn't speak in Trouble Along the Way.

Anyone know these earlier films? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oIUHxxc5JY I can't find anything for "Trouble Along The Way" other than that he had a role as an "extra" which suggests he just appeared in the background and didn't have a speaking part. |

![]() This works quite well with vaguely familiar non-celebs in it, without having to be too competitive. Might be the way to go forward unless they can find some closer to normal contestants from the public applicants. |

Thought the captain of the winning team was quite obnoxious, don't think the word "please" is in his vocabulary.
Didn't somebody make the same observation about one of the regular season captains? |

And does anybody even watch Red Nose Day any more? I certainly haven't for years. Is Lenny Henry still on it?

For a celeb episode I thought it was good. They actually had people who'd seen the show and knew how to play it.

Mind you, I'd imagine it's easily done, and I did enjoy the episode. I even managed to get quite a few of the answers!

I was gutted they won, I really dislike them. The captain clearly hates the eager guy and keeps rebuffing and patronising him. The other guy never gets a chance to contribute.
I thought the sequences were really hard, but the walls weren't too bad at all. |

The reverse acronym question seemed very familiar to me.
Has it been on before or was it on another show recently. |

I hate them. The musical excerpt played was from Beethoven's violin concerto not Brahms' violin concerto, as stated. I was quite surprised the quizsetters got that wrong. |

I'm sure there was a wrong answer in the concertos connection. They gave answers as Brahms, Bartok, Elgar and Koussevitzky but could have sworn I heard Beethoven rather than Brahms?

The hatred that some on here have for certain team members is bizarre. Although Kapellmeister does hate everyone and everything so I guess why discriminate with Only Connect.

Having said that, if there is a show where it seems okay to hate the contestants, Only Connect must be it! Talk about social misfits.. |
