Only Connect Specials: Season 6, Episode 1

6 - 1: Christmas: Edwards Family v Wrights

Victoria Coren Mitchell is back in the host's chair for a one-off special of Only Connect, the series where knowledge will only take you so far. Patience and lateral thinking are also vital.

Two favourite family teams from previous series return for a family-themed Christmas special. It's a festive affair with snow on the ground as the Edwards Family square up to the Wrights in a competition to draw together the connections between things which, at first glance, seem utterly random.

So raise a glass and join Victoria Coren Mitchell if you want to know what connects a Johannes Vermeer painting, Jenner's cowpox inspiration, Tess Durbeyfield's profession and a gift on the eighth day of Christmas.
