About this quiz
The mixed pool holds every title from the film, book, James Bond and Poirot rounds. A title that is both a prize winning novel and an award winning film, such as The English Patient, appears once, as the film.
- The line under each title says what it is: an award and ceremony year, an author and prize, a Bond film or a Poirot novel.
- With more than 200 titles in the pool, a round of ten rarely repeats.
- Today's first round is the same ten titles for everyone.
