Well, chances are that a significant number of the people who take part in sleb Mastermind aren't sitting around all day thinking about what they'd do as a specialist for the show, so I guess that the Beeb are quite helpful with the suggestions. <br /><br />If it gets to the Life and Times of Gunther from Central Perk, mind, we have a problem.

Couldn't help but notice that the subject of a single character from Friends is not without precedent. <br /><br />For twas only in the last celebrity series that Jordan Stephens (of the group Rizzle Kicks) did "The Life and Times of Ross Gellar" from the same show.<br /><br />I can't speak to the reaction then of course, and I wouldn't be totally surprised if we saw another of the characters used for a subject on next year's show.Adam "Addy" Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445485116044935627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-84982588731211910472014-12-24T08:22:39.661-08:002014-12-24T08:22:39.661-08:00Oh, and I'm almost 100% certain that the fee f...Oh, and I'm almost 100% certain that the fee for appearing on the show which would go to the slebs goes to their nominated charities.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-85609127214490763202014-12-24T08:21:50.450-08:002014-12-24T08:21:50.450-08:00Hi Jack

We have to take it on trust that all of those who took part were very happy to do so, and I do hope that they still managed to enjoy their experience. It's not the same as for the sake of argument being on Christmas UC - there you are a team, and if it doesn't work out, well hey, it's the team's fault, not one individual's. <br /><br />Have a great Christmas, JackLondiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-74779293181882374692014-12-24T04:11:34.020-08:002014-12-24T04:11:34.020-08:00Wise words as usual Dave. I'm reminded of some...Wise words as usual Dave. I'm reminded of something Paxo once said to a losing team on an edition of Xmas UC; he told them they hadn't been obliged to take part, and they were good sports for doing so, even though they had lost badly (IIRC, I can't remember for sure).<br /><br />Seeing celebs struggle on quiz shows is one thing, but hopefully they will have had fun. If they've been talked in to doing it and weren't all that keen in the first place, that's a different story.<br /><br />I mean, look at the Xmas UCs we've had so far: (SPOILER ALERT) both losing sides were utterly trounced, and were still smiling at the end of it. They were clearly there for fun and hadn't been talked into it.<br /><br />Pointless always gives money to the charities of all celebs who participate; I would like to think Mastermind would do the same regardless of how well the celebs do.<br /><br />Sorry, that was longer than I'd planned.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
