Not a puzzle as such.
The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180°
For a square it's 360°
For a pentagon (5 sides), the sum is 540°
There's a formula for working it out for shapes with more sides. Where n is the number of sides, the sum of the internal angles is (n-2) x 180º
So a straight line is just 1 side obviously which means that the internal angles of a straight line total (1-2) x 180º which is minus 180° 
No prizes if you can see why that's a flawed calculation

Really scared they will cancel again she is in agony snd this has been going on for months. Everything crossed! 🤞
Fingers crossed 
Series based on even powers of 2 or powers of 4 which is the same.
2 to power of 2 is 4, to power of 4 is 16, to power of 6 is 64, to power of 8 is 256 and to power of 10 is 1024.
4 to power of 1 is 4, power of 2 is 16, power of 3 is 64 etc (just multiply by 4 each time).
Sequence takes those number, then deducts 1 or adds 1 alternately.
So 3,17, 63. 257, 1023.

Yes! 4 ^ 1,2,3… + (-1 ^ 1, 2, 3…)

Came into this late, but I fully agree with EL...

Ok then!
1 2 3 4 5 = 5 4 3 2 1
Add up to but no more than five + signs to correct this equation.

I got the answer before they did last night 
*feels proud of self*
Only because my sister used to play darts for the Star pub in Liverton which was owned for a time by Peter Budd singer with the Wurzels....combine harvester always makes me think of that song
It was a guess

I haven't seen yesterday's Only Connect yet, I've recorded it.
Nailsea is creating a heritage trail around the town which is acknowledging the Wurzels with the pub they first made their first record. Adge Cutler grew up in Nailsea and worked at Coates Cider factory there:

One of my clients lives in Nailsea which is why I spotted this news story, not that he's got anything to do with the Wurzels.

Loving a challenge, Mr Miles said he rang a friend at EMI and told him "Adge had written these songs about cider and manure".
Despite thinking he was "nuts" Mr Cutler was taken to Abbey Road studios in London to "put all the songs on tape".
I would consider him nuts too. Yet they went on to become very popular 
Shame Adge died so young 
Are you tempted to join in the walk El or maybe just follow it on the website?

If I were to go on that trail it would be more likely online

I fair better at the wall part of the show....I can usually figure the connections out quite well.
And the missing letters round at the end.
The first two rounds can leave me a bit stumped, as some of the connections are often fairly tenuous...for me

You are not alone
Here's my Only Connect poser for you. It's a first round one
I Patrick Troughton
2 Peter Cushing
'(no, the connection isn't Doctor Who)
3 Christopher Lee
(no, the connection isn't a Hammer horror film)
4 Laurence Olivier

First guess: The Three Doctors from the serial ? (includes William Hartnell & Jon Pertwee)

No, if you look at the line under 2 which says (no, it says that it's not a Doctor Who connection)
There's another (no under line 3 in case you think of another connection when you see the third person
You may be surprised when you see the fourth person, though this be madness, yet there is method in't.

Bugger!
I can only see the word No followed by a grey rectangle, under answer 2 ?
Okay..... is it something to do with Hamlet?
Slim, highlight the grey rectangles, in order and one at a time!
