"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, welcome back." "Introduce yourselves, please." "My name's Allan, 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." "Good to see you again." "Lutrophiles, welcome back." "Introduce yourselves, please." "I'm Marianne." "I'm from London." "I'm a quantitative analyst." "I'm Oliver." "I'm from Surrey and I'm a designer." "I'm Ned, a professional gambler on football from Northamptonshire." "Very good to see both of you." "Welcome back." "Welcome to our first semifinal." "You're playing for a place in our Grand Final." "You've done tremendously well to get here, so best of luck to both teams." "Let's play Hive Minds." "All the answers are hidden in the hive which looks like this." "And if the answer to my question was what are the names of this week's teams, you would be looking for..." "As you can see answers use adjoining cells, can go in any direction and no cell is used more than once." "In round one, as you're 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." "Be careful, few traps in there, few false trails." "Trivium, we're going to start with you." "Here's your first question." "Buzz in when you think you've found the answer." "Reveal the hive." "Cairo is the obvious one." "Khartoum's there." "That was quick for five points." "Trivium, your answer." "Khartoum." "Show me your first letter." "Let's see if you're right?" "Correct for five points." "Capital of Sudan." "Do you know where the name comes from, Khartoum?" "Not sure." "Arabic for elephant's trunk." "Well done for five points." "Lutrophiles, over to you." "Reveal the hive" "Mercia." "Wow, for five points, your answer?" "Mercia." "Show me your first letter." "Let's see if you're right." "Mercia, correct." "One of the most powerful kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England." "Who was the best-known king of Mercia?" "Offa." "As in Offa's Dyke." "You are both cooking with gas." "Trivium, over to you." "Reveal the hive." "Beatrix, Benedict." "Claudio and Claudia." "Three points now." "Your answer." "Rosalind." "Rosalind, show me your fist letter." "Let's see if you're right." "Rosalind, correct." "That was a very tricky one." "Rosalind from As You Like It." "Rosaline from Love's Labours Lost." "OK, Lutrophiles, over to you." "Reveal the hive." "Low, Gene Harlow." "For five points, your answer?" "Harlow." "Show me your first letter." "Let's see if you're right." "Harlow, as in Gene Harlow the Blonde Bombshell, and the Bowie album Low, with that great track, Sound And Vision." "Lutrophiles, you're on ten." "Trivium, you're on eight." "You are both doing so well." "Team Trivium, you know what I'm going to say now." "I'm looking for two answers and you must spot both to score the points." "Ready?" "Reveal the hive." "Zuckerburg." "No." "Not Jobs." "I can't see it." "Amazon's not there." "Amazon is there." "Who founded Amazon?" "Your answers." "Amazon." "You're not ready with the second one." "I'm going to throw it over to Lutrophiles." "Let's see what you would have been left with." "For a bonus point." "Amazon and Bezos." "Show me your first answers." "Let's see if you're right." "Correct for one point." "Jeff Bezos founded Amazon not that long ago, 1994." "But it's hard to imagine our lives without it now." "Lutrophiles find..." "Reveal the hive." "Cycling." "No." "Boxing and Adams." "Is Adams there somewhere?" "Yes." "For four points, your answers." "Adams and boxing." "Show me your first letters." "Let's see if you're right." "Correct." "Nicola Adams and boxing." "It's entirely random how these questions come out but that was almost made for you Marianne cos you're a keen boxer." "And Nicola Adams made history, didn't she?" "The first woman to win an Olympic boxing gold medal." "Absolutely right." "Trivium..." "Reveal the hive." "Fidelio." "Beethoven's there." "No, it's not." "Your answers?" "Beethoven and Fidelio." "Show me your first letters." "Quickly." "Let's see if you're right." "It was Beethoven's only opera." "Amy, you got that straightaway." "You just saw Fidelio." "As soon as you saw it." "And then you suddenly weren't sure." "You got the five points, very well done." "Lutrophiles..." "Reveal the hive." "Sweden in Swedish." "Svenska." "Wait." "Sweden's there." "Sverige." "For three points, your answers." "Sweden and Sverige." "Sverige." "Don't worry about how to pronounce it." "Show me your first letters." "Let's see if you're right." "Sverige is, as I understand it, how you say it." "That's how you say Sweden in Swedish." "So that leaves the scores..." "In round two, you'll each face two hives containing three answers relating to a specific topic." "You have 45 seconds to complete each hive and score a maximum of five points." "Team Lutrophiles, you're in the lead." "You get to choose first from the following topics." "Which topic will you choose?" "Should we take Literature off Amy." "She does seem to be very good." "She'll be good at Literature." "Good tactics." "I think we'll go for Literature, please." "You're going for Literature." "Do you think you're any good at Literature?" "All right." "Or worried the other team might be better." "We think they'll be good at it." "That's an interesting tactic." "Let's see if that pays off." "I'm looking forward to that." "You will be looking for..." "You have ten seconds to confer." "Caretaker." "Betrayal." "Caretaker, Betrayal." "Time's up." "You have 45 seconds." "Marianne, I'm going to start with you." "You're looking for plays by Harold Pinter." "Reveal the hive." "Betrayal." "Betrayal, show me." "Correct." "Oliver." "30 seconds, you have two passes." "Pass." "Ned." "One pass left, 20 seconds." "Pass." "Marianne." "Moonlight." "Moonlight." "Correct." "Oliver." "Um, Bark." "Bark." "What should it be?" "Coming Home in the corner, isn't it?" "That's two words." "It should be Homecoming." "Let's deconstruct this, then." "You found Betrayal, one of the Memory Plays." "You then went on to Moonlight." "And then what you were looking for for the full five points was" "Homecoming." "Thanks to you, Marianne, you got two out of five, so very well done." "Team Trivium, over to you." "You need to get as many points as you can, so choose your topic carefully." "We are left with..." "Which would you like?" "We could try and redeem ourselves on Food and Drink." "Food and Drink, that got a resounding..." "After Soupgate." "After Soupgate." "How could we forget Soupgate." "What were those soups?" "Gazpacho, borscht and bisque." "There you are." "Emblazoned on our brains." "Have you had any since the soup fiasco?" "I had a nice chowder." "Let's see if you get on better this time." "Remember, you've got ten seconds to confer." "You are looking for..." "Darjeeling." "Lapsang souchong." "That's two words." "Jasmine, green, gunpowder." "Rooibos." "Assam." "Allen, we're starting with you." "Are you much of a tea drinker?" "Yeah, occasionally." "Types of tea, you have 45 seconds." "Two passes, remember." "Reveal the hive." "Darjeeling." "Correct, Amy." "Gunpowder." "Correct, Will." "You have two passes." "20 seconds." "Pass." "Allen." "I'll pass too." "Amy, down to you." "Ten seconds." "Um..." "Time's up." "That was a bit mean, wasn't it, Amy?" "Yes." "It all came down to you at the end." "You got two teas there." "Darjeeling, regarded as the champagne of tea." "The one you were groping for but failed to find was Nilgiri." "Never would have got that." "Produced in Southern India in the Nilgiri region." "Tough one." "That was definitely the hardest one, I would say." "Well done, two points." "Team Lutrophiles, your turn now." "Which topic would you like of what's left?" "You've got..." "Your turn to pick, Ned." "I prefer Politics." "What do you think?" "You'll have to help me." "We'll go for Politics." "You're going for Politics." "Marianne, you helped them last time with Literature, so they can help you with this one." "You're looking for..." "You have ten seconds to confer." "Howard, Menzies, Rudd." "Gillard." "There was the one who died recently." "Who was the one who disappeared?" "Time's up." "You have 45 seconds." "You have two passes." "You're looking for Australian Prime Ministers." "We're starting with you, Ned." "Reveal the hive." "Er, Gillard." "Correct." "Marianne." "You have two passes." "Just gone 30 seconds." "Pass." "Oliver." "Whitlam." "Whitlam, correct." "Ned." "You have one pass left." "Er..." "Pass." "Marianne." "Time's up." "Time's up." "Did I hear you say bummer there, Ned?" "No." "Sounded like it." "When you were desperately looking for a name there." "I was thinking Menzies but the M was gone." "Couldn't get that." "Well, let's see the two names you did get." "Julia Gillard, Australia's first female prime minister." "She's one of the best-known recent ones." "She's an obvious one to go for." "Gough Whitlam took office in 1972 but he was dismissed out of office, an unprecedented move." "Dismissed by the Governor-General." "And he was replaced by the name you didn't find." "Fraser, Malcolm Fraser in 1975." "Julia Gillard, do you remember the whole row between her and Tony Abbott, the leader of the opposition?" "It made headlines all around the world." "She said to Tony Abbott, "I will not be lectured by this man." ""If he wants to know what sexism and misogyny look like in modern" ""Australia, he should look in the mirror."" "Two points out of a possible five." "Not bad at all." "Team Trivium, we're back with you." "At this moment you are trailing 15-22." "You want to get a full house if you can." "You have two topics left..." "Which would you like?" "Go for Animals." "Animals." "You're going for Animals." "Your topic is..." "You have ten seconds to confer." "Baboons." "Capuchins." "Tamarind." "Marmoset." "Bonobo." "Time's up." "So, Will, I'm going to start with you." "You have 45 seconds." "Two passes, remember." "Reveal the hive." "Bonobo." "Correct, Allan." "30 seconds to go." "Two passes." "I'm going to pass." "Amy." "20 seconds, one pass left." "15." "Ten, one pass left." "Five." "Pass." "No." "Amy, what did you spot just as you passed to Will?" "Lemur." "Is that a primate?" "It is." "Poor Will had about three seconds to find one towards the end." "Amy, you were hanging on in there." "I thought Will might have one already." "Lemur is one of my favourite animals." "And you didn't see it?" "Just didn't spot it." "Right, so you got one point there with Bonobo." "Bonobo looks rather like a chimpanzee." "Probably the best way to describe it." "You'll know this, Allan, lemur is native only to..." "Madagascar." "That's right." "What was the one... ..that you haven't even thought of yet?" "Never heard of it." "I have heard of it." "Found in the jungles of Africa." "Thought to be extinct until 1996." "At the end of that round, Trivium, you're on 16." "Got a bit of work to do to catch up with Lutrophiles who are on 22." "We've come to my favourite part of the game, 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, as you know, is to use every letter to find one perfect solution." "Team Lutrophiles, it's your turn." "Are you going for the A Hive or the B Hive?" "Hadn't thought about this." "I think we'll go for the B Hive." "The B Hive, it's a random choice." "I can tell you're looking for..." "Reveal the hive." "Redwood around the side." "Eucalyptus is there." "Go for it." "Birch." "What's this one with the K?" "Walnut." "What's this one?" "Sycamore." "What could the one at the top be?" "Duck?" "What's the top one?" "A minute to go." "Spalgot." "Guess at that." "Have we done it?" "Course not." "Take those silly ones out." "Sorry, I thought we'd done it." "Spruce." "THEY MUTTER" "Time's up." "I reckon you found three new types of tree there." "Druckie, spalgot and what was it, cladotis of gladotis?" "Something like that." "Let's unpick this." "You found six answers." "Your first one was redwood." "Those are all indeed trees." "So you got six points for the trees." "But let's see which of those would have been part of the perfect solution." "Redwood is not part of the perfect solution and since that's the one you put first and stuck with it, it all went a bit pear-shaped after that." "What you could have had, if you hadn't put redwood," "I think you would have got quite a bit further." "What you should have gone for the full ten points..." "Sitka, that is a tricky one." "Named after a place in Alaska." "Its natural range is along the Northwest of America." "That's what you needed for the full ten points." "It was a tricky one, wasn't it?" "Even had we got dogwood and alder, we probably wouldn't have got sitka." "We would have spent a long time trying to make it up and probably not got it." "You had a good go making up lots of them." "That was hugely entertaining, wasn't it?" "Definitely." "Not bad at all." "It's such a difficult part of the game." "Six points." "Team Trivium, no made up words if you can possibly help it." "You are looking for..." "Reveal the hive." "Jordan." "Yes, Jordan." "Williams." "Williams, yes." "William or Williams?" "Fielding beside it." "What do we have here?" "Let me see?" "We have a Barker." "Was there a Barker?" "I have no idea." "Let's put it in." "Purves is there." "Purves runs beside it." "Bacon." "Duncan over there." "Not with the K. D-U-N-C-A-N and then Noakes." "Nope, don't have that." "Bacon isn't all highlighted." "Let's take that out." "Highlight it again." "What are we left with?" "Could be this is the N for Duncan." "We need an A for Noakes." "Minute left." "Where would Noakes be?" "I think Noakes is a red herring." "So..." "Unless one of these is the red herring." "What if we had..." "We don't have the A for Noakes." "Can we see a Noakes there?" "We have to come down to get the Noakes." "N-O-A-K-E-S." "Could this be something?" "What could it be?" "Skelton." "Super Hive, well done." "It was right there in front of you, Skelton." "You couldn't see it." "And Noakes was the red herring." "You were desperately trying to make Noakes work." "We wanted him to be there." "Lovely John Noakes." "Just saw the SK." "Not fair not putting him in." "If you're going to put a red herring in, it's going to be Noakes." "Clearly." "OK, let's go through them in order and see what you got." "Diane-Louise Jordan." "Leila Williams." "Yvette Fielding, she was the youngest ever Blue Peter presenter at just 18." "Liz Barker." "She left to have a baby, came back after that." "First time anyone had done that on Blue Peter." "Peter Purves, he was part of the golden age of Blue Peter." "That's my era." "Peter Purves, John Noakes, Valerie Singleton, Lesley Judd." "Richard Bacon." "Peter Duncan became Chief Scout." "After he left Blue Peter, how appropriate." "Duncan Dares." "Last one Helen Skelton." "Lutrophiles, out of interest, do you think you would have fared better with that one?" "Probably not." "I might have." "The bit at the end would have been difficult." "Would have struggled like they did." "It's a tricky one, isn't it?" "Unravelling Skelton, yes." "Very difficult." "I think this is the hardest part of the game so, Lutrophiles, you're on 28." "Trivium, with that perfect solution you have caught up very nearly with 26." "We're at the final round." "We really have a game on our hands now with just two points between you." "This time the hives are filled with answers." "You might spot an answer to a question you haven't even heard yet." "Are you ready?" "Fingers on buzzers." "Reveal the hive." "Lutrophiles." "Slovenia." "You lose a point, it's Montenegro." "Lutrophiles." "Hastings." "Poirot's sidekick." "Correct for one point." "You regain the point that you lost." "Trivium?" "Stich." "Correct, one point." "Lutrophiles." "Chilterns." "Correct, one point." "Lutrophiles." "Bengal." "Bengal tiger, correct, one point." "Trivium." "Montaigne." "Michel de Montaigne, correct." "Refresh the hive." "Trivium." "Abbot." "Correct." "Come on!" "Trivium." "Lambada." "Correct." "All square, 30 points each." "Trivium." "Panini." "Correct, one point." "Manitoba." "Correct, one point." "Back to all square, 31 apiece." "Trivium." "Button." "Jenson Button." "Trivium." "Plant." "Robert Plant." "I thought we pressed on time." "So, gosh, that was tense." "At the end of that round Trivium, 33," "Lutrophiles, 31." "Trivium, you go into the grand final." "Very well done." "Lutrophiles, you have been a terrific team." "Marianne, don't look so glum." "Commiserations." "Congratulations to you, Trivium." "We will see you in the Grand Final." "I think we all need to mop our fevered brows after that." "Join us for the next semifinal and more brilliance and bewilderment in Hive Minds." "But before we go here's one just for you at home." "Find an English philosopher who, if you change one letter, becomes a coastal village in Devon." "Bye-bye."
