Tomorrow night’s Mastermind, then. The specialist subjects are:-
Kim Philby
Chess: the Musical
The Castles of North Wales
The Life of Thomas Hardy
Hmm. I mean, my natural
tendency is to look at these things pessimistically, yet usually it doesn’t
turn out anything like as badly as I thought. So you never know. Looking down
each of the subjects individually, then –
Kim Philby – well now, I
wouldn’t say that I feel that I know a great deal about him. But who knows,
maybe general historical knowledge about the period will be enough to pick up a
couple.
Chess: The Musical. Never seen
it. I can summarise my knowledge as – written with music by Bjorn Ulvaeus and
Benny Anderson with lyrics by Sir Tim Rice. Hits from the show – One Night in
Bangkok, Murray Head – I Know Him So Well – Barbara Dixon and Elaine Page. That’s
really about i. Maybe something will come up about that.
The Castles of North Wales. I’ve
only been to North Wales once although I did visit Caernarfon Castle then. I
would feel a lo more confident if it was about the castles of South Wales.
Might get a couple, might get none.
The Life of Thomas Hardy.
Again, if it was the novels of Thomas Hardy I’d feel a lot more confident.
Still, hoping that a couple will allude to the works I think that there might
just be a couple there.
So while I still think this
could end up being the show where total disaster strikes, then again on the
other hand we might see anything between say 7 and 10.
