Following the huge success of the first Only Connect quiz book, question-setter and former champion Jack Waley-Cohen returns with an entirely new collection of 200 cryptic questions, many of which have never been broadcast and several created exclusively for this book.

Expect the same lateral-thinking connections, sequences and infamous "walls" that have made the television series a cult favourite, alongside plenty of trivia asking which questions have been the greatest in the show's history and which teams rank as the best of all time. An introduction from presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell adds extra insight and personality to the collection. It's the closest thing to having your own private series of Only Connect at home, ideal for testing yourself alone or pitting your wits against friends and family in a genuinely tough head-to-head. Fans of general knowledge, wordplay and pattern-spotting will find this an enormously satisfying and often humbling read, with questions spanning history, science, literature, popular culture and beyond.. 200 brand-new cryptic questions, including never-before-broadcast material. Organised into progressive four-round games mirroring the TV format. Written by the show's own question-setter and former contestant. Includes an introduction by presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell. Perfect for solo brain-training or competitive family quiz nights. A must-have for fans of BBC2's Only Connect. About the Author.
