Severns v Apres Skiers

Victoria Coren Mitchell hosts the series where knowledge will only take you so far. Patience and lateral thinking are also vital.

The Severns are facing the Apres Skiers in the last of the quarter-finals. They’ll compete to draw together the connections between things which, at first glance, seem utterly random.

So join Victoria if you want to know what connects naledi in South Africa, denisova in Siberia, luzonensis in the Philippines and floresiensis in Indonesia.
