An interesting list of specialists for anyone thinking of
doing the wiki challenge on tomorrow night’s Mastermind semi final specialist
subjects. As listed on the BBC Mastermind website they are:-
The PDC World Darts Championship
The History of Transportation to Australia
Parks and Recreation
Queen Anne
I say with some confidence that I will not be matching last
week’s aggregate total. I have a parents’ evening to prepare for so shan’t be
googling any of them. For the record, here’s my prediction
PDC World Championship – maybe I might sneak 1 point. My
interest in darts really peaked in the early 80s BDO era – Bristow and Wilson
and Keith Deller and all that.
The History of Transportation to Australia is a subject on
which I might well draw a blank – unless it asks about my several times great
uncle, Jabez Rainbow who was a British Army officer who took a cutthroat razor to the throat of his ‘common-law
wife’ in the 1840s when he was off his face on the opium derivative laudanum. She survived, and it
was her testimony in his favour that meant his death sentence was commuted to
transportation to Van Diemen’s Land – Tasmania. Interesting, but hardly likely
to bring me any points.
Parks and Recreation. I know it’s a TV show but have never
watched it. Royaume Uni nul points.
Queen Anne – well I always fancy that British monarchs give
me a bit of a chance. So if I say 2 on this, then I’ll be disappointed if I don’t
get that many. So basically, for the aggregate for the whole lot of tomorrow’s
specialist, anything higher than three points will be a bonus for me.
