Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What would your Mastermind Chosen Specialised Subject be?

I did once score very highly on a ‘Life and times of Muhammad Ali’, another nerd level interest of mine.

I was surprised how easy the Joy Division questions were, guess it’s perspective as the other specialised subjects always seem incredibly difficult.

JD would be a great topic for a fan. Short history. Few recordings. Constant line up

Indeed DT, short history, few recordings & constant lineup really helps. I'm sure contestants have had specialist subject on a single album like say 'Nevermind' before, so don't even need to cover stuff before and after.

I’d also do the novels of Evelyn Waugh as a second specialist subject.

Not sure on a third.

Listening to the JD one on YT I could have barked out the correct answer a few times well before Humphrey got to the end of the question. The contender never did, I wonder if this is not allowed in the actual filming.

Good mastermind trivia, of all the quiz shows I watch this the least but the expanding and changing word count is interesting. I think perhaps to even the scoring.

Oh yes... perhaps even the music of William Shatner...

TRO: no, you can't answer a question early on Mastermind. If you do, the quizmaster reads the rest of the question out anyway, so you gain nothing. The current specialist round normal max seems to be 12, although I think a couple of people have scored thirteen by being very, very sharp with their answers, giving the extra second or two necessary for an additional question to be started.

Not sure what you could get on the general knowledge round currently, maybe seventeen? Think I've got sixteen, definitely scored fifteen.

I am not sure I know enough about anything. Maybe I could do parkrun with a bit of revision!

Joy Division for me.

Stumbled across a YouTube with a contender on this very subject, matched his score and reckon I could have answered quicker and maybe got another question or two in.
