There is excitement among the fans for the next episode of Only Connect. This will be Only Connect Season 18 Episode 5. Having run for over eighteen seasons, fans have had the chance to explore many new topics and themes in a trivia-fun way that has forced them to think about how different and vastly things can be connected. They are thrilled to see what more the show can offer as it is a one-of-a-kind quizzing reality show. The basics of Only Connect are that it is a show where contestants compete to identify connections between seemingly random things.
The contestants are often team members who are passionate or ‘nerdy’ about a particular topic. It is a quiz reality show that is deliberately set up to be difficult for the participants. It has approximately four rounds, with the difficulty of the questions increasing in every round. The show first aired on 15 September 2008 on BBC Four. After some movement, it finally settled into BBC Two on 1 September 2014. Fans are also very dedicated to Victoria Coren Mitchell’s sarcastic and dry presentation, which makes the show all the more entertaining. Let’s now take a look at Season 18’s Episode 5.
Only Connect Season 18 began airing on 29 August 2023. The last episode was Episode 4, which came out on 20 September 2022. The episode was titled “Cryptics vs Strigiformes”. It was a showdown between three puzzle fans and three mature students. The episode centered around them trying to identify the connection between two Inns of Court, five snooker balls, and Benny Andersson. If you have not caught up with that episode, we highly recommend you go and watch it. Let us now take a look at what we know about Only Connect Season 18 Episode 5.

Fans speculate that this episode will be interesting, as the series in this season follows the 16 teams’ modified double elimination with a third place round as it had in the season before. So who do you think will win this episode and advance ahead? The Cunning Planners or Seagulls?
While there is a great deal of preparation one can do to do well in a normal quiz, that is not the case so with the kind of tournaments Only Connect holds.
