Only Connect – A Celtic Special

After the success of our “Only Connect – A Sevco Special“, imagine our surprise when folk actually requested to see a Celtic version.

Well far be it for us to deny Arthur Pensionerbhoy anything, and here it is…although respect has ensured that it isnt a piss take version like the Sevco one.

It  may seem quite tricky to some of you not familiar with the show, but should entertain as well as tease, a bit like the entertainment down in Whitley Bay near Arthur, so it all ties in nicely.

Hope you like it…and mind watch the actual Only Connect show..BBC 2..its on iPlayer so no excuses.
