Slacker Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 If you were on Mastermind,what would your Specialist Subject be?(No Rudolf.That wouldn't be allowed!)I need to give this some thought but it would probably involve cider as my football knowledge is hopeless.

The Batman Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Ghostbusters films. But not the 2016 one. I think I read last year that they are refusing fawlty towers now because they've run out of questions to ask about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Elvis Costello for me, although the longer his career goes on the harder it gets. I might have to do one of those time spans the history boys do. "The Life and Career of Elvis Costello and the Attractions 1976 - 1983". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah a lot of dark stuff went on in these places and it makes for hard reading a lot of the time. I haven't read up on it very much,but the little that I have read has contained some horrific stories of experimental treatments to subdue or "cure" patients.Seems like doctors back then could just experiment with no regulations whatsoever.

richwwtk Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I applied once, got to the final audition phase before losing out and being added to the standby list. You have to list three specialist subjects on the application. I had Bristol City FC (surprise), Rush (the band) and Sherlock Holmes.

I was obsessed with it as a teenager/early 20s and still remember enough to not embarrass myself on Mastermind. It's the general knowledge round that would kill me.

BS2 Red Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) It was a specialist subject on there reasonably recently, last year or 2020. I got one wrong and still haven't forgiven myself. Edit: it was only October, seems a lot longer ago!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0010cts/mastermind-202122-episode-5 About 7 minutes in.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 19 hours ago, JonDolman said: The Beatles or (rather sad to say) Lord of the rings/ history of middle earth Never quite got it myself. I’m sure Tolkien was a very interesting man (he was still lecturing during my first year at University) but is there any real depth to it all, or is it just trivial stuff about dwarves and goblins? If you want seriously good fantasy fiction, give me the Gormenghast trilogy every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
