BBC Two - Only Connect, Specials, Children in Need Special: Great Believers vs Free Speakers

Two teams of celebrities compete in a special edition of the show for Children in Need.

Two teams of celebrities compete for charity in the quiz show where links must be made between seemingly-random things.

Victoria Coren hosts a very special celebrity edition of the quiz where, as in life itself, knowledge will only take you so far and where patience and lateral thinking are also vital. 

In this Pudsey Special, two teams of clever celebrities prepare to lose their dignity in honour of Children in Need. The cunning wiles of the Great Believers (Nick Hornby, Dame Joan Bakewell and John Lloyd) take on the combined brains of the Free Speakers (Ian Hislop, Simon Singh and John Sessions).

So join Victoria if you want to know what connects Erté, Hergé, Jeep and Esso.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
