Mastermind Grand Final Subjects

You don’t have to be a Mastermind yourself to figure out that I’m really looking forward to tomorrow night’s Grand Final. I’ve already given you my take on the runners and riders, so let’s do the same for the specialist subjects.

Now, by rights, with six subjects my specialist aggregate could be my highest of the whole series. Not so sure, though. Here’s the six –

Wimbledon Singles Championships since 2000. I reckon I should get two, possibly three.

The artist Francis Bacon – I’ll be disappointed if I don’t get any but gobsmacked if I manage more than a couple.

The ancient Greek poet Sappho – maybe general knowledge might brig me a point, but there’s little chance of any more

The Mercury prize – again, one maybe two maybe none.

The French Revolutionary the Marquis de Lafayette – ditto

French composer and pianist Clara Schumann – nul points.

I don’t have a ‘banker’ amongst all of these. I’d be gobsmacked if I got more than 10 altogether.
