Mastermind 2026 Heat 7 Specialists preview

I’ve had my obligatory look at the BBC’s Mastermind page and tomorrow’s specialist subjects are:-

Postwar Great Britain Rugby League Tours

Katherine Parr

James Bond films in the Pierce Brosnan Era

L.L. Zamenhoff and the early history of Esperanto

I think that I can rule out the chances of me getting any points on Zamenhof unless they ask about him being an ophthalmologist. At the other end of the scale, with Pierce Brosnan only making 4 Bond films I think there’s maybe a point or two for me there. Incidentally, I was surprised to see Brosnan cast as Ron in The Thursday Murder Club. It’s a role I always felt was tailor made for someone like Ray Winston. I read an interview with Pierce Brosnan today in which he said the same thing!

Katherine Parr  - well there’s always a point or two in the Tudors and you never know with the Rugby League tours either.
