On Monday 16th September at 8pm on BBC2, EBU Panel TD Rob Sassoon will be participating on the challenging quiz show Only Connect. He will be joined by two non-bridge playing friends to form “The Tea Totallers”, a team name suggested by the producers of the show as all three are avid tea drinkers. Rob joins a number of bridge players in appearing on the show, including Toby Nonnenmacher and Kyle Lam who reached the final in 2020 as part of “The Suits”, and Nick Smith, Chris Cooper and Tim Dickinson who appeared as the aptly-named “Bridge Players” back in 2010.
Hosted by Victoria Coren Mitchell, the show consists of a tournament-type format in which teams compete by finding connections between seemingly unrelated clues. The team need to win two matches from three to reach the quarter finals.
