Well, at long last I get to write about the next heat of real Mastermind. Tomorrow night’s 23rd heat will have these specialist subjects:-
London 2012 Olympics
Frank Gehry
British Waterfowl and Wading Birds
The British House of Cards Trilogy
I don’t think I’ll get 0 but I don’t think
I’ll get a record high score either.
As regards Celebrity Mastermind. .. . look,
in my opinion, compared with real Mastermind it’s not that watchable a show. Sorry,
but . . .
A lot of the celebrities, if they do fit that
description at all, only do so in the widest possible application of the term
The average celebrity is not, frankly,
very good at general knowledge, and does not put on a very good performance. I
don’t blame them so much for this – they’re doing it for charity, but watching ‘celebrities’
squirm their way through relatively gentle GK roundss does not a great evening’s
entertainment make.
I don’t really care much more for Clive’s
inter-round chats than I did for John Humphrys’.
Just my opinion of course. But please BBC,
next year, when you don’t have to accommodate the Winter Olympics, for heaven’s
sake please don’t make us wait for weeks and weeks between heats of the first
round again.
