Yes. But orlok beat you to it.

Correct answers for 1, 3 and 5 required plus the connection.

Sorry. Posts must have crossed.

All three correct. Just the connection to get.

doubleshuffle · 01-14-2016, 06:46 AM

Hard one. Thinking aloud. The last four are all TV shows or films, and there is also a biopic about Ray Charles. So is there an actor who appeared in all of them? Donald Sutherland?

Bilbo1967 · 01-14-2016, 07:00 AM

No.

It's a word thing. There is a connection between one word from each correct answer.

Each answer contains a word that has more than one meaning? Ray is a name and also a sunbeam, files can contain paper or be metal and shape fingernails, wing can be part of a building or belong to a bird. But I don't know about the other two.

pdurrant · 01-14-2016, 07:45 AM

Hmm... so the answers are:

1. Ray Charles
2. The Rockford Files
3. Mad Men!
4. The Hunger Games
5. The West Wing

Nope, I can't see the connection.

That's not the answer, but you have identified the pertinent word in those three answers.

pdurrant · 01-14-2016, 08:37 AM

So now we have

1. Ray Charles
2. (The) Rockford Files
3. Mad Men!
4. (The) Hunger Games
5. (The) West Wing

Ray, Files, Mad, Hunger, Wing
Ray, Files, Mad, Games, Wing
Ray, Files, Men, Hunger, Wing
Ray, Files, Men, Games, Wing

Nope, I still can't see the connection.

Bilbo1967 · 01-14-2016, 08:39 AM

OK. I'll tell you that the last list of words in your post is the one to look at.

I'll leave it a couple of hours and then give the answer if nobody gets it by then.

Ray, Files, Men, Games, Wing

Nope. And I usually do quite well watching Only Connect!

I'll give it a couple of hours then divulge all. It's really not as difficult as most of the connections on Only Connect though.

Ray, Files, Men, Games, Wing

RFMGW

Doesn't appear to be an acronym or an anagram. It's not Roman numerals middle ages numbers. Doesn't appear to be months or days. I can't think of common things between them. I'm guessing this is going to be "well, duh" moment for me.
