Last Roll Of The Dice ! I Keep Throwing Snake Eyes......

[ON THE ROAD]

I know most of these questions have already been asked but the quiz has to be in tomorrow so in the hope I/we catch someone who hasn't seen them.

1/ in tv/film : Who won an Oscar in 1970 but only after a recount ? (If this is in "real life" I don't understand how I can't find something like that recorded somewhere )

2/ in tv/film : What was originally called "Cool?"

3/ in tv/film : On which show did the Queen hold an it's a knockout-style competition to determine her successor ?

4/ intv/film : In which film does a dating agency have the same title as a Bond film ?

5/ in tv/film : Which series had a dead body under every rhododendron bush ?
(There have been two obvious suggestions for this but can anyone please prove it)

6/ in music : Which number one was originally called Good Night ?

7/ in music : Which band who were not too good at spelling owed part of the success of their number two hit to Herbie Hancock ? (Although there have been several suggestions doubt has been expressed elsewhere to the involvement of Herbie.)

I'll leave it at lucky seven for the moment so chose your poison well, Thanks

I thought 7 was Freeeze (IOU)?

First of all, I apologise as I think I am the one casting doubts in the mind of OTR. However I can't see how, just because a Hancock tune and a freeez tune have been mixed together, how, as the question asks, this equates to Hancock " helping" the success of the tune. When IOU got to number 2 in 1983 it had nothing to do with that mix( obviously).Sorry :(

5 Rosemary & Thyme (?)

I know Rockit (from 1982) was cited by several artists as being influential- see link here, although I've no idea whether Freeeze we in fact influenced or whether the influence was assumed incorrectly after the event by others

Thank you factor30 and dr pop you have both saved me from making a big mistake. I do realise dr pop that you were trying to help me. I am so slow at keying so it takes me time to keep up with the conversation. Much humble pie

I'm stuck on all these as well, but I am pretty sure that the picture is one of the Busby Babes, I just can't find the same picture anywhere.
