Hive Minds (2015) s01e07 Episode Script
Trivium v Araucarians
Welcome to Hive Minds, the quiz where simply knowing the answers isn't enough.
You've got to find them as well.
Let's meet this week's Hive Minds.
Trivium, would you introduce yourselves? Yes.
I'm Alan, I'm from Belfast and I'm currently unemployed.
I'm Amy, I'm from Oxford and I'm a maths teacher.
I'm Will, I'm from Downpatrick, County Down, and I'm an actor.
Team Araucarians, would you introduce yourselves, please? I'm Simon, I'm a plumber from Essex.
I'm Simon, I'm a database manager from Leytonstone in east London.
I'm Helen, I'm a taxonomist from London.
Welcome to both of you.
Now, Simon and Helen, you're married? We are.
How did you meet? We meet doing voluntary work for Samaritans.
So, long nights with the phones, the two of you communed? Yeah.
We bonded over peppermint tea, I think.
And Guardian crosswords.
Yeah.
Gosh, that sounds racy.
Sometimes, it's not that busy in the middle of the night, and you get chatting to people and one thing led to another, and here we are.
So, anyone who doesn't know that, gets something of a shock when they see our wedding photos and they've got pictures of the Samaritans office in the wedding photos.
It looks a little odd, but we know why.
We're very glad to have you all.
Best of luck.
Let's play Hive Minds.
All the answers are hidden in a hive, which looks like this, and if the answer to my question was, what are the names of this week's teams, you'd be looking for Trivium - there it is - and Araucarians.
As you can see, answers use adjoining cells, they can go in any direction, and no cell is used more than once.
In round one, as you are looking for answers in the hive, after two seconds, letters will start to disappear, and as they do, the points go down, so the faster you answer, the more you score.
But be careful.
As always, we've set a few traps and laid a few false trails.
Now, best of luck, you two, because this is for a place in the semifinal.
So, Trivium, here is your first question.
Remember, buzz in when you think you've found the answer.
Reveal the hive.
Let me think.
Yorkshire cities.
Bradford.

I can throw it over for a bonus point.
We think it's Julian.
Julian? Show me your first letter.
Let's see if you're right.
Julian, cos Julian is not a monarch.
He's a member of the Famous Five.
You had Julian.
We had Julia.
We had Julia.
Oh, you had Julia? I knew it wasn't Julia.
I was thinking, "They've got it.
Why aren't they pressing?" OK.
So who were the other members of the Famous Five? George, Julian, Dick and Anne, and Timmy the dog.
Very well done for a bonus point.

Alfred North Whitehead.
In terms of the artist? Rachel Whiteread.

We think it's Steven and Esteban.

You show me your first letters, let's see if you're right.
Beiderbecke.
Well done! Well done.
You took a chance.
Beiderbecke and cornet.
Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke, credited with being one of the greatest jazz cornetists of all time.

Two points.
Zinc Down to one.
Time is up, Araucarians.
I'll throw it to you for a bonus, Trivium.
We can see silver.
Have you got both answers? -No.
No? OK.
The correct answer was indeed silver, and electrum.
Electrum - a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver.
So, where are we at the end of round one.
Trivium, you have raced ahead with 8.
Araucarians, you are in the game, though, with 1 point.
In round two, you'll each face two hives containing three answers relating to a specific topic.
You've 45 seconds to complete each hive and score a maximum five points.
Team Trivium, you are comfortably in the lead so you get to choose first from Which are you going to choose? What do you reckon, guys? Food and Drink.
Yeah.
Let's go for that.
Food and Drink.
You're unanimous on that.
When I reveal exactly what you'll be looking for, you'll have ten seconds to confer as a team, but then you answer on your own.
You've got two passes, but one wrong answer and you are locked out of the hive.
So, you've chosen Food and Drink.
You are looking for You've ten seconds to confer.
Minestrone.
Mulligatawny.
Mulligatawny.
Um Cock-a-leekie.
Miso.
Miso, yes.

You've chosen types of soup.
Alan, we start with you.

You have 45 seconds.
Reveal the hive.
Pass.
Amy.
You have one pass left.
Pass.
Will.
No passes left.
20 seconds.
Oh, go on.
No.
You're out of time.
I can't believe that.
I've spotted one.
Did you? What have you spotted? Gazpacho.
Gazpacho? Yes.
Bisque.
Bisque, yes.
I thought this was going to be the easiest one.
Miso! Come on, guys.
Let's see what you SHOULD have got.
Gazpacho.
Cold tomato Spanish soup.
I absolutely love it, I have to say.
Bisque.
Lobsters? And brandy.
A shellfish soup.
Borscht - beetroot soup.
Borscht! Bad luck.
No points for you, Trivium.
I'm surprised at you.
Gutted.
OK.
Araucarians, over to you.
With the scores at 1-8, you could do with a full house to catch up.
Which topic would you like? Well You're good at classical music, but we're not.
I think we're all fairly solid on history.
History? Yeah.
History? I mean, I did do a degree in it.
Yeah.
Go on.
Your choice.

You can pass.
Pass.
Simon.
Ottoman.
Ottoman.
Correct.
Helen.
Um One pass left.
Roman? Roman.
Is that your answer? You're locked out of the hive.
Roman is an historical empire, without a doubt one of the greatest, but it is not there in the hive.
You can't get Roman.
So you did get Ottoman for one point, one of the longest-lasting empires in history, so I'm glad you got that one.
Then you could have got Inca, the historical empire from the Andes region, Machu Picchu, and Mongol, founded by Genghis Khan.
It's believed the Mongols may have killed as many as 11% of the world's entire population.
That is how to rule and conquer, my goodness me.
I think you could have done with a bit of that ruthlessness in this round.
Good effort, but only one point, I'm afraid.
Team Trivium, your turn again.
Which topic will you choose? Not classical music.
No, definitely not.
Nor me.
Animals? Animals? Yeah.
Could be tricky.
We're mammals.
Animals.
You are indeed mammals.

Alan.
Hmm.
Snipe.

Francolin.
You got there just in time.
Francolin.
My goodness me.
You couldn't have left that any later if you tried.
Let's see what you got, then.
Snipe - widespread in the UK, mainly found in the north.
Then ptarmigan - a charming, plump little bird, beautiful plumage, member of the grouse family.
And then - this was your one, Amy - francolin.
What can you tell me about the francolin? Nothing at all! They are members of the pheasant family Really? .
.
mostly found in Africa and Asia.
So, in the nick of time, you got the full five points.
Very well done.
Araucarians, at this stage you are trailing 13-2, so you really need to pull something out of the hat.
There are two remaining topics.
Which will you choose? No-brainer, which is appropriate enough.
Politics! It's politics? Yeah.
You are looking for You've ten seconds to confer.
Bercow.
Lloyd, Boothroyd, Thomas, Bercow.
Who's Lloyd? Lloyd Thomas? Selwyn Lloyd.
Thingy Thomas.

Pass.
Pass.
Simon.
No more passes.
10 seconds.
Any more? 4 seconds.
Time's up.
That was obviously a tricky one for you.
Speakers of the House of Commons.
I've spotted another one now.
Who have you spotted? Martin.
Martin, of course.
Gorbals Mick.
Michael Martin.
Right, so what DID you get? Thomas, George Thomas, appointed Speaker in 1976.
You could also have got Bernard Weatherill, reputedly always carried a thimble in his pocket to remind himself of his family's origins as tailors.
And then Michael Martin, Gorbals Mick, as he was known, teased rather unfairly, perhaps, for his strong Glaswegian accent.
So, what have you got at the end of that? One point.
So that takes you to 3, with Trivium on 13.
In round three, you're faced with a super hive.
You're looking for a number of answers that fit a certain category but your challenge is to use every letter to find one perfect solution.
Araucarians, it's your turn.
Would you like the A hive or the B hive? I think we'll go for the B hive.
You'll go for the B hive.
You have chosen And just to be clear, in this hive, we're including poets recognised as de facto poets laureate, so that's before the post was made official in 1668, OK? OK.
You've got two minutes.
Reveal the hive.
OK.
So, Tennyson is there.
Does Betjeman finish? Yes, it does.
But we don't know which B it is yet.
Shall we leave that one on there? Let's leave the B out.
OK, what's going up here? Is there a Duffy? There's something that's ending "IAN" there.
That B can't be part of something else because it's surrounded by Remember to enter it if you want to include it.
Give me more poets.
UmHughes.
Yeah, round the edge.
Day-Lewis? Hughes is round here.
They don't have hyphenated words.
No.
You've got to lock it in if you want it.
Oh, yes.
Let's take these out and enter that.
No Um OK.
What's going up here? It looks like One minute, guys.
It looks like Rus No.
No? Give me some more names.
I can look for them.
Motion? One minute gone.
Go for Motion.
And Dryden's in there as well.
Enter! Whoops! No.
Dryden.
Right.
Yep.
OK.
There's one round here, then.
Rof Fielding? Field? Something field.
Yes, I think that's right.
Is there a Field? I think there was.
OK.
What have we got round here? Spens Ah, we've got a problem.
Spenser, possibly.
Right.
20 seconds.
Do you think Betjeman might be wrong? 20 seconds.
Do we think Betjeman's wrong? Could well be.
If it's Spenser Shall I take him out? Can we get anything else in there? I think Betjeman must be wrong.
Betjeman's wrong.
Right, let's put Spenser in.
Enter.
Yeah.
JonJonson.
Time's up.
Ohh.
You found five answers.
Let's see which of these are indeed poets laureate.
So, Ted Hughes.
Andrew Motion.
Dryden.
Spenser.
And Field.
There is no such poet as Field.
Certainly not a poet laureate, at any rate.
So,.
Hughes, Motion, Dryden and Spenser all poets laureate.
They are all part of the perfect solution.
But let's see what other names you could have had.
Austin - Alfred Austin.
Poet laureate from 1896.
Cibber is another one you could have got.
Colley Cibber, poet laureate from 1730 until 1750, so in fact he got the job, it's widely believed, because he supported the ruling party, the Whigs, and anyone else, like Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope, didn't get a look-in.
Ben Jonson.
Masefield - that's what you were after.
John Masefield.
He was poet laureate from 1930, for 37 years.
And the red herring was Betjeman.
You went straight for John Betjeman.
Come friendly bomb, fall on Slough 'Tis not fit for humans now.
Yes.
We're going to get letters from Slough.
He wrote it, I didn't.
So, Team Araucarians, you have got four points out of a possible ten.
Not bad.
Team Trivium, you are left with the A hive, and I can tell you, you will be looking for OK.
You've two minutes.
Reveal the hive.
OK.
Have we got Amadeus? Let's try and start with Amadeus.
Although we have two Where that E goes.
We have Oliver across the middle.
Or we can try it for now.
I bet that's Braveheart? Let's get this Let's try that.
Yeah.
We can take out Oliver Crash! Crash, definitely.
This is looking good so far.
Oliver may be a red herring.
I don't like Oliver.
No, cos we have two many Cs above it.
Let's start at another corner.
We have Platoon.
Yeah.
And there's Gigi over there.
We don't have Platoon.
The P and L aren't beside each other.
That's not right.
Sorry.
Um Try Gigi.
G-I-G-I.
Yes.
There are so many Cs here.
Oliver might be right.
Cabaret might be in there somewhere.
Oh, yeah.
Ca No.
I think one of these is wrong.
One minute.
I definitely think What will we take out? Amadeus? But then, what else could it be? Um Rebecca.
R-E-B-E-C-C-A.
Rebecca, that's great.
OK.
Will we try Oliver? Yes.
Oh, you have to put in Let's take out Oliver.
If that's Oliver, what are we left with? We are left with Patton! Patton.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
O-N.
Chicago.
Chicago! Chicago.
Very good.
There you go! Well done.
You found the perfect solution.
You had me going there.
Oliver was in and out and in and out! There were so many Cs, three Cs in a triangle.
It wasn't a red herring.
We had a few red herrings in there.
You could have found Titanic, Casablanca and Argo, but wouldn't have got the perfect solution.
Double red herring.
Gigi freed up a few things for us.
Very, very well done.
You got the full ten points.
Let's go through them in the order in which you found them.
Amadeus - received 11 nominations, 8 wins - of course about Mozart.
Then you found Braveheart - Best Picture and Best Director for Mel Gibson, in 1996.
Crash - David Cronenberg, 2006.
Great movie.
Gigi - 1959, starring? Anyone remember? Maurice Chevalier.
Chevalier.
Chevalier was in it.
Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan.
OK.
Rebecca.
Now, interestingly, Alfred Hitchcock was nominated for Best Director.
He didn't win.
It won Best Picture.
In fact, he never won Best Director.
Oliver.
Lionel Bart's finest work.
Patton, about General Patton, of course.
1971.
It won seven of the ten Oscars.
And Chicago, that was your last one.
That was nominated for 13 Oscars.
Catherine Zeta-Jones got Best Supporting Actress.
Trivium, you are racing ahead, with 23.
Araucarians, got a bit of a way to go, with 7.
OK, it's the final round.
Araucarians, give it your all! So, this time the hives are filled with answers.
If you pay attention, you might spot an answer to a question you haven't even heard yet.

That may be the case.
The answer you were looking for was Capri.
Next.
How could I know you'd get that one(?) I'm hoping Campari's there this time.
Campari's correct.

So, good play, but where does that leave us? Araucarians, commiserations, with 8.
You lost that vital point.
Trivium, very well done, with 27.
Trivium, that means you are the winners.
You go through to the semifinal.
Araucarians, very well fought.
You'll have one more chance to join them.
Join us for more brilliance and bewilderment in Hive Minds next time, but before we go, here's one just for you at home.
Find a character from Shakespeare's Hamlet who is alive at the end of the play.
Bye-bye.
You've got to find them as well.
Let's meet this week's Hive Minds.
Trivium, would you introduce yourselves? Yes.
I'm Alan, I'm from Belfast and I'm currently unemployed.
I'm Amy, I'm from Oxford and I'm a maths teacher.
I'm Will, I'm from Downpatrick, County Down, and I'm an actor.
Team Araucarians, would you introduce yourselves, please? I'm Simon, I'm a plumber from Essex.
I'm Simon, I'm a database manager from Leytonstone in east London.
I'm Helen, I'm a taxonomist from London.
Welcome to both of you.
Now, Simon and Helen, you're married? We are.
How did you meet? We meet doing voluntary work for Samaritans.
So, long nights with the phones, the two of you communed? Yeah.
We bonded over peppermint tea, I think.
And Guardian crosswords.
Yeah.
Gosh, that sounds racy.
Sometimes, it's not that busy in the middle of the night, and you get chatting to people and one thing led to another, and here we are.
So, anyone who doesn't know that, gets something of a shock when they see our wedding photos and they've got pictures of the Samaritans office in the wedding photos.
It looks a little odd, but we know why.
We're very glad to have you all.
Best of luck.
Let's play Hive Minds.
All the answers are hidden in a hive, which looks like this, and if the answer to my question was, what are the names of this week's teams, you'd be looking for Trivium - there it is - and Araucarians.
As you can see, answers use adjoining cells, they can go in any direction, and no cell is used more than once.
In round one, as you are looking for answers in the hive, after two seconds, letters will start to disappear, and as they do, the points go down, so the faster you answer, the more you score.
But be careful.
As always, we've set a few traps and laid a few false trails.
Now, best of luck, you two, because this is for a place in the semifinal.
So, Trivium, here is your first question.
Remember, buzz in when you think you've found the answer.
Reveal the hive.

Julian? Show me your first letter.
Let's see if you're right.
Julian, cos Julian is not a monarch.
He's a member of the Famous Five.
You had Julian.
We had Julia.
We had Julia.
Oh, you had Julia? I knew it wasn't Julia.
I was thinking, "They've got it.
Why aren't they pressing?" OK.
So who were the other members of the Famous Five? George, Julian, Dick and Anne, and Timmy the dog.

You show me your first letters, let's see if you're right.
Beiderbecke.
Well done! Well done.
You took a chance.
Beiderbecke and cornet.

Oh! Three points now.
Bronze isn't there either.
Tin? No? Um Brass.
Two points.
Zinc Down to one.
Time is up, Araucarians.
I'll throw it to you for a bonus, Trivium.
We can see silver.
Have you got both answers? -No.
No? OK.
The correct answer was indeed silver, and electrum.
Electrum - a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver.
So, where are we at the end of round one.
Trivium, you have raced ahead with 8.
Araucarians, you are in the game, though, with 1 point.
In round two, you'll each face two hives containing three answers relating to a specific topic.
You've 45 seconds to complete each hive and score a maximum five points.
Team Trivium, you are comfortably in the lead so you get to choose first from Which are you going to choose? What do you reckon, guys? Food and Drink.
Yeah.
Let's go for that.
Food and Drink.
You're unanimous on that.
When I reveal exactly what you'll be looking for, you'll have ten seconds to confer as a team, but then you answer on your own.
You've got two passes, but one wrong answer and you are locked out of the hive.
So, you've chosen Food and Drink.

You're out of time.
I can't believe that.
I've spotted one.
Did you? What have you spotted? Gazpacho.
Gazpacho? Yes.
Bisque.
Bisque, yes.
I thought this was going to be the easiest one.
Miso! Come on, guys.
Let's see what you SHOULD have got.
Gazpacho.
Cold tomato Spanish soup.
I absolutely love it, I have to say.
Bisque.
Lobsters? And brandy.
A shellfish soup.
Borscht - beetroot soup.
Borscht! Bad luck.
No points for you, Trivium.
I'm surprised at you.
Gutted.
OK.
Araucarians, over to you.
With the scores at 1-8, you could do with a full house to catch up.
Which topic would you like? Well You're good at classical music, but we're not.
I think we're all fairly solid on history.
History? Yeah.
History? I mean, I did do a degree in it.
Yeah.

Ottoman.
Correct.
Helen.
Um One pass left.
Roman? Roman.
Is that your answer? You're locked out of the hive.
Roman is an historical empire, without a doubt one of the greatest, but it is not there in the hive.
You can't get Roman.
So you did get Ottoman for one point, one of the longest-lasting empires in history, so I'm glad you got that one.
Then you could have got Inca, the historical empire from the Andes region, Machu Picchu, and Mongol, founded by Genghis Khan.
It's believed the Mongols may have killed as many as 11% of the world's entire population.
That is how to rule and conquer, my goodness me.
I think you could have done with a bit of that ruthlessness in this round.
Good effort, but only one point, I'm afraid.
Team Trivium, your turn again.
Which topic will you choose? Not classical music.
No, definitely not.
Nor me.
Animals? Animals? Yeah.
Could be tricky.
We're mammals.
Animals.
You are indeed mammals.

You got there just in time.
Francolin.
My goodness me.
You couldn't have left that any later if you tried.
Let's see what you got, then.
Snipe - widespread in the UK, mainly found in the north.
Then ptarmigan - a charming, plump little bird, beautiful plumage, member of the grouse family.
And then - this was your one, Amy - francolin.
What can you tell me about the francolin? Nothing at all! They are members of the pheasant family Really? .
.
mostly found in Africa and Asia.
So, in the nick of time, you got the full five points.
Very well done.
Araucarians, at this stage you are trailing 13-2, so you really need to pull something out of the hat.
There are two remaining topics.
Which will you choose? No-brainer, which is appropriate enough.
Politics! It's politics? Yeah.
You are looking for You've ten seconds to confer.

That was obviously a tricky one for you.
Speakers of the House of Commons.
I've spotted another one now.
Who have you spotted? Martin.
Martin, of course.
Gorbals Mick.
Michael Martin.
Right, so what DID you get? Thomas, George Thomas, appointed Speaker in 1976.
You could also have got Bernard Weatherill, reputedly always carried a thimble in his pocket to remind himself of his family's origins as tailors.
And then Michael Martin, Gorbals Mick, as he was known, teased rather unfairly, perhaps, for his strong Glaswegian accent.
So, what have you got at the end of that? One point.
So that takes you to 3, with Trivium on 13.
In round three, you're faced with a super hive.
You're looking for a number of answers that fit a certain category but your challenge is to use every letter to find one perfect solution.
Araucarians, it's your turn.
Would you like the A hive or the B hive? I think we'll go for the B hive.
You'll go for the B hive.
You have chosen And just to be clear, in this hive, we're including poets recognised as de facto poets laureate, so that's before the post was made official in 1668, OK? OK.
You've got two minutes.
Reveal the hive.
OK.
So, Tennyson is there.
Does Betjeman finish? Yes, it does.
But we don't know which B it is yet.
Shall we leave that one on there? Let's leave the B out.
OK, what's going up here? Is there a Duffy? There's something that's ending "IAN" there.
That B can't be part of something else because it's surrounded by Remember to enter it if you want to include it.
Give me more poets.
UmHughes.
Yeah, round the edge.
Day-Lewis? Hughes is round here.
They don't have hyphenated words.
No.
You've got to lock it in if you want it.
Oh, yes.
Let's take these out and enter that.
No Um OK.
What's going up here? It looks like One minute, guys.
It looks like Rus No.
No? Give me some more names.
I can look for them.
Motion? One minute gone.
Go for Motion.
And Dryden's in there as well.
Enter! Whoops! No.
Dryden.
Right.
Yep.
OK.
There's one round here, then.
Rof Fielding? Field? Something field.
Yes, I think that's right.
Is there a Field? I think there was.
OK.
What have we got round here? Spens Ah, we've got a problem.
Spenser, possibly.
Right.
20 seconds.
Do you think Betjeman might be wrong? 20 seconds.
Do we think Betjeman's wrong? Could well be.
If it's Spenser Shall I take him out? Can we get anything else in there? I think Betjeman must be wrong.
Betjeman's wrong.
Right, let's put Spenser in.
Enter.
Yeah.
JonJonson.
Time's up.
Ohh.
You found five answers.
Let's see which of these are indeed poets laureate.
So, Ted Hughes.
Andrew Motion.
Dryden.
Spenser.
And Field.
There is no such poet as Field.
Certainly not a poet laureate, at any rate.
So,.
Hughes, Motion, Dryden and Spenser all poets laureate.
They are all part of the perfect solution.
But let's see what other names you could have had.
Austin - Alfred Austin.
Poet laureate from 1896.
Cibber is another one you could have got.
Colley Cibber, poet laureate from 1730 until 1750, so in fact he got the job, it's widely believed, because he supported the ruling party, the Whigs, and anyone else, like Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope, didn't get a look-in.
Ben Jonson.
Masefield - that's what you were after.
John Masefield.
He was poet laureate from 1930, for 37 years.
And the red herring was Betjeman.
You went straight for John Betjeman.
Come friendly bomb, fall on Slough 'Tis not fit for humans now.
Yes.
We're going to get letters from Slough.
He wrote it, I didn't.
So, Team Araucarians, you have got four points out of a possible ten.
Not bad.
Team Trivium, you are left with the A hive, and I can tell you, you will be looking for OK.
You've two minutes.
Reveal the hive.
OK.
Have we got Amadeus? Let's try and start with Amadeus.
Although we have two Where that E goes.
We have Oliver across the middle.
Or we can try it for now.
I bet that's Braveheart? Let's get this Let's try that.
Yeah.
We can take out Oliver Crash! Crash, definitely.
This is looking good so far.
Oliver may be a red herring.
I don't like Oliver.
No, cos we have two many Cs above it.
Let's start at another corner.
We have Platoon.
Yeah.
And there's Gigi over there.
We don't have Platoon.
The P and L aren't beside each other.
That's not right.
Sorry.
Um Try Gigi.
G-I-G-I.
Yes.
There are so many Cs here.
Oliver might be right.
Cabaret might be in there somewhere.
Oh, yeah.
Ca No.
I think one of these is wrong.
One minute.
I definitely think What will we take out? Amadeus? But then, what else could it be? Um Rebecca.
R-E-B-E-C-C-A.
Rebecca, that's great.
OK.
Will we try Oliver? Yes.
Oh, you have to put in Let's take out Oliver.
If that's Oliver, what are we left with? We are left with Patton! Patton.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
O-N.
Chicago.
Chicago! Chicago.
Very good.
There you go! Well done.
You found the perfect solution.
You had me going there.
Oliver was in and out and in and out! There were so many Cs, three Cs in a triangle.
It wasn't a red herring.
We had a few red herrings in there.
You could have found Titanic, Casablanca and Argo, but wouldn't have got the perfect solution.
Double red herring.
Gigi freed up a few things for us.
Very, very well done.
You got the full ten points.
Let's go through them in the order in which you found them.
Amadeus - received 11 nominations, 8 wins - of course about Mozart.
Then you found Braveheart - Best Picture and Best Director for Mel Gibson, in 1996.
Crash - David Cronenberg, 2006.
Great movie.
Gigi - 1959, starring? Anyone remember? Maurice Chevalier.
Chevalier.
Chevalier was in it.
Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan.
OK.
Rebecca.
Now, interestingly, Alfred Hitchcock was nominated for Best Director.
He didn't win.
It won Best Picture.
In fact, he never won Best Director.
Oliver.
Lionel Bart's finest work.
Patton, about General Patton, of course.
1971.
It won seven of the ten Oscars.
And Chicago, that was your last one.
That was nominated for 13 Oscars.
Catherine Zeta-Jones got Best Supporting Actress.
Trivium, you are racing ahead, with 23.
Araucarians, got a bit of a way to go, with 7.
OK, it's the final round.
Araucarians, give it your all! So, this time the hives are filled with answers.

You lost that vital point.
Trivium, very well done, with 27.
Trivium, that means you are the winners.
You go through to the semifinal.
Araucarians, very well fought.
You'll have one more chance to join them.
