A Friday afternoon item even though it's midweek!
I've had a request from the BBC Four quiz show Only Connect (on which I
was a contestant earlier this year) who are looking for teams who might
want to take part in the next series. They're trying to get beyond the
usual quiz circuits! Teams don't have to be formal organisations, they
can be ad hoc. Good fun and librarians tend to be knowledgeable!

ONLY CONNECT: BBC FOUR
Victoria Coren presents the third series of the popular BBC Four quiz
show "Only Connect" where, as in life itself, knowledge will only take
you so far: patience and lateral thinking are also vital. It's all
about making connections between things which may appear, at first
glance, not to be connected at all.
We're looking for teams of three players to pool their combined wits to
solve fiendish conundrums and vexing puzzles. Only Connect; the quiz
where general knowledge meets lateral thinking.
