Just seen the episode on TV tonight. Congrats on going through, Ali.

You'll already know, of course, but I hope you continue through to the final and win.

What does this mean?

It means Ali Lloyd has been competing in a quiz/puzzle show on UK television called "Only Connect", and his team won in the episode aired tonight.
Rooting for the win! (But Ali won't be allowed to say yet, although it will have been filmed already.)

I also suspect Ali might be a bit tired today, after the MIT puzzle hunt in the weekend just gone.

Both of these things are indeed true!

Non-UK citizens can watch episodes semi-officially (they are uploaded by a US-based question writer) on youtube - here are my first two appearances:

Tonights one will be up tomorrow I should imagine.

I'm sure I should understand this question but I don't

midway through the first episode, right after the salmon question.

Aha, I had managed to completely forget about that!

For those able to watch BBC TV live, I am on again tonight, BBC2 8pm

...and apparently the episodes get posted to youtube some three or four days later. Been waiting for the return of your team.

Go Ali! I hope it's a great result
