Well, by a process of elimination we know that Monday’s semi-final contenders will be Ann Mayner, Alex Shilton, Joe Andrew and Ben Spicer. We also know that their specialist subjects will be :-
Sir Edwin Lutyens
Coldplay
The Karen Pirie Novels of Val McDermid
The Films of Terry Gilliam
We don’t know who will be taking which subject, but I dare
say we’ll learn that on Monday. Looking at the subjects I really can’t see
myself finishing the semis with a flourish on specialist. I predicted 3 – 5 last
Monday and ended up with 4. Similarly, this coming Monday I might sneak a point
on Lutyens, I might sneak another on Coldplay and maybe 2 on Terry Gilliam. On
the Karen Pirie novels, no, I’ve never read any so cannot reckon on scoring any
points there.
I’ll be posting a review after the show as usual, and then
a preview of the Grand Final, giving my honest (although invariably inaccurate)
predictions.
