Only Connect (and more specifically, the video game and Cole Porter special) gets two mentions in the back page of November’s edition of top modern-day-old-skool mag NGamer (issue 55). Probably not in the shops for a few days. It is described as “excellent (if smug)”. So there we are.
Also, amused about THE TRUTH behind The Cube on Harry Hill’s TV Burp this evening.
When does the videogames special air?
I think Brig’s referring to the episode with the Simon Belmont/Mortal Kombat references.
If it’s not out yet, how do you know this?
Oh, presumably you subscribe. Can you type out the relevant sections, for interest? Ta.
It’s in their “It’s The Very Last Gasp” segment on the back page for bits and pieces they can’t find room for anywhere else in the magazine. Two pictures, with following captions:
‘YOU WHAT?’ BBC4’s excellent (if smug) impossi-quiz Only Connect recently featured a Castlevania-flavoured question. Brainy!’
Followed by
‘COME AGAIN? That same episode of Only Connect then had a round where the answers were Mortal Kombat characters. Obscure.’
You’ll probably get a sixteeen-page feature in Verge, sorry, Edge, now.
Thought i was going crazy, thinking i had missed an episode, then when looking on wikipedia noticed 4 specials mentioned at the end of this series and thought it was one of those.
Guesss it was just wishful thinking
Oh, our Dragon’s Den had a “plastic penis for women in the bathroom moment” this week
I congratulate the Fenis, for being a name worse than SheWee.
