Hive Minds is a British television quiz show that aired on BBC Four from 14 July 2015 to 1 December 2016.
Hive Minds was developed by Saltbeef TV - a production firm responsible for CBBC's Friday Download - with co-production from Green Inc Film & Television.
[2] It was filmed at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast[citation needed] and was hosted by Fiona Bruce,[2] who fronts the BBC News at Six, BBC News at Ten, Crimewatch, Call My Bluff and Antiques Roadshow.
At the end of the show, Bruce offers one hive to the viewers, and once the credits have finished, the answer is revealed.
The show featured teams playing in a double elimination tournament with occasional wild card spots, with the series winners getting a special trophy at the end, similar to Only Connect.
While the questions were described as "enjoyably eclectic", and Fiona Bruce "clearly enjoyed the opportunity to flex her funny muscles", overall Hogan felt that it was "a tad too stiff and niche in appeal, while the “hive” gimmick seemed over-stretched.
