    And here’s a Round One question too esoteric (or, at least, otherwise unsuitable) for the show in question.

    What is the connection between:

    CHAMPAGNE

    Death or Glory 5 pointer here…
    Is the connection, they are all seen on the podium at the end of a motor race?

    The other three being:-
    Flags
    Sweaty Overalls
    Local dignitaries/politicans/royals with a fixed false grin

    I’m working the day shift tomorrow so here’s clue two now. Clue three, if it’s needed, soon after getting up at 5am UK time.

    What is the connection between:

    CHAMPAGNE
    LOBSTER

    Remember, this is a Question Too Erotic for Only Connect.

    What is the connection between:

    CHAMPAGNE
    LOBSTER
    ANAL SEX

    (The result is the top answer in most search engines, so please don’t.)

      Is it bad that I’m imagining these as Supermarket Sweep inflatables?

      And that means I REALLY don’t want to know what the last one is.

    See, I just love the way that the person who inspired the question ordered these four…

      I was going to have another guess (mainly in the interests for a cheap laugh) at it being just another average night in during the late 80’s for Keith Floyd?

    I cheated, but the connection is it’a quote from Christopher Hitchens about the 4 most over-rated things in life.

      Exactly so.

      If a Winston Churchill quote can inspire an OC question, then so can this. (At least, in the Bar for yuks, rather than on TV for real.) The Hitchens quote is much more fun.

      I suppose virtually every quote ending in a list of four items is potential fair game these days, though three-part lists are so much more frequent in speechmaking that famous ones are probably fairly few and far between.
