That, having previously imagined myself to be a fairly anxious person, I didn’t have the first idea. It’s hard for me to go to a normal pub quiz now because people expect me to know everything and I can’t risk them finding out the truth. I won’t go on Celebrity Mastermind for much the same reason. Every year, I do the brilliant Christmas pub quiz run by my friends [comedy writers] Shaun Pye and Alan Connor, as part of a team that goes by the hideous name of The Funnymen. It was a stupid joke name we took 20 years ago but I get terrified now that newcomers will think we’ve chosen it with some level of genuine self-description, especially now my husband’s joined the team. It sounds awful. And yet we can’t possibly change it because, I don’t mind telling you, that name is engraved on the cup. SEVERAL TIMES OVER. You’re one of the top professional poker players. Who’s the best famous person you’ve played against? And there’s another I’m thinking about around words that all look the same but are pronounced differently. That’s the great thing about the show, no topic is off limits.”You have a huge fanbase from hosting Only Connect . What’s the strangest thing a fan has ever done?

You used to review hardcore porn for the Erotic Review . Are you scarred for life by the things you saw? I came across a great work of literature recently which I hadn’t realised was split into multiple volumes, so if I can find another three of those that might work,” he says. Quiz rounds as seen in the quiz show Only Connect. What is the final connection in Quiz I and how do all four clues connect in Quiz II? Quiz I It depends what you mean by “famous” and what you mean by “best”. Phil Ivey is one of the most famous players in professional poker and probably the best I’ve played against, in terms of skill and flair. Of the people I’ve played who are famous for other things, Zac Goldsmith was probably the best at poker. But in terms of sitting across the table and thinking “Wow” for other reasons, that would be Steve Martin. Or perhaps Roger De Courcey [ventriloquist of Nookie Bear fame]. You haven’t asked who was the worst but I’ll tell you anyway. It was [darts player] Eric Bristow. And you can interpret that any way you like.Does a saucepan count as a gadget? I bought one of those recently. I was delighted. I’ve been using the same two scratchy old saucepans for about 20 years, just because they aren’t literally broken. It’s a really liberating moment when you allow yourself to upgrade. For every question that has been on the show, we tell you how the teams managed, so you can compare yourself to them. I love the concept and it's captivating to watch, but I guess running on quite random bits of (often British) culture and drawing those connections is simply out of my league.. Tom Scott was great at it though. Respect to all who managed to score any points on such an evil genius game show (especially the Wall). It’s incredibly tough,” he adds. “ Only Connect launched on BBC4 and had a few years to find its feet. People forget, but shows such as Pointless and The Chase, whose brilliance we all now take for granted, weren’t brilliant in the beginning.

Victoria Coren Mitchell was born and went to school in Hammersmith, west London. She is the younger sister of the restaurant critic Giles Coren. After studying English at Oxford University, she became a writer, presenter and professional poker player. She hosts BBC Two quiz Only Connect and is competing in the current series of Channel 4’s Taskmaster. She is married to the comedian David Mitchell, with whom she has a six-year-old daughter. Only Connect is the ultimate test of knowledge and lateral thinking. Since 2008 the fiendishly difficult quiz show has been challenging contestants to find connections between apparently unrelated clues. Those who stumbled across the show have stayed and I think that’s because it has a sense of fun that isn’t a natural part of the appeal of other Monday night quiz favourites – University Challenge and Mastermind.” The Owl and the Pussycat (by Edward Lear) ('The Owls', 'The Cat', Mediterranean 'Sea', and 'The Orca' is the 'boat' in Jaws) April 1st-12th [the numbers are the positions of the first and last letters in the alphabet of each month.
