And Den...Yes, the GK rounds came out really oddly. And Dennis did really well with 14 on his GK. I scored 15 on GK in heat 5, but I would have got only 12 on Dennis's GK questions. Having lived in (West) Germany for several years, I also got 4 of his Specialist Subject questions, which is about 3 more than I normally get on anybody else's Specialist Subject. A friend, a Brit who lives in Germany, got 3 of them.<br /><br />It is great to see you back, Dave. All through Nov and Dec I was checking the website, wondering whether I had the wrong link and googling Life After Mastermind to see whether I had missed something. You were sorely missed. Do please keep at it; we love to read your take on the programmes.<br /><br />And I sympathise with your problems with the loud guys. Friends of mine have stopped going to pub quizzes because of all the cheating.<br /><br />By the way, Simon Alvey was on Brain of Britain on 18 January. He came 2nd with 10 points, but he has a chance of reaching the semis as a highest-scoring runner-up.Mycoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521510701724149106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-47797490027358450592016-01-17T05:42:49.785-08:002016-01-17T05:42:49.785-08:00Curiously on Ruth Green's first appearance in ...Curiously on Ruth Green's first appearance in 2012, one of the other specialist subjects was Pop Music Of The 1980s.<br /><br />On a similar theme, the episode aired on 18 December was won by Simon Alvey, with one of the other contestants taking The West Wing as their SS, exactly 4 years to the week after Alvey had won his heat in the 2011-12 series - with his subject being The West Wing!<br /><br />Glad to see you back, David!Paul Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942358761328378374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-73530775162077886122016-01-17T01:12:43.461-08:002016-01-17T01:12:43.461-08:00A funny episode.
I think you're right about ...A funny episode. <br /><br />I think you're right about the Pop round. I got fair few and should have got a fair few more, which I might well have done if I'd prepared. <br /><br />He did put in a stellar GK round though. But some of the GK rounds that came later seemed incredibly hard this week. Gavin Tillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008941854879044026noreply@blogger.com
