If you went on Mastermind, what would be your specialist subject?

briany · 24-01-2018 4:11pm #1

Something you'd feel confident enough to get a respectable 8 or more points in.

Trigger Happy · 24-01-2018 4:22pm

Kim Kardashians bottom.

freshpopcorn · 24-01-2018 4:26pm

Embarrassing as it might sound I'd have to say The Soaps!

Bigoted insults, particularly ones aimed at travellers.

Harry Palmr · 24-01-2018 4:40pm

The career of Roger Corman - very long and involved but also broad enough to be able to remember enough facts likely to be needed.

Vogue Williams picked that topic when she was on.
She still didn't get very far.

I remember seeing one where the guy picked Father Ted. Great episode.

Hector Savage · 24-01-2018 4:42pm

I think I'd do ok on Star Wars and its extended universe :O

Was that Pat from Eggheads?

Chrongen · 24-01-2018 4:50pm

Would probably do ok in the movies of Sean Connery.

"Shocking, Miss Moneypenny"

valoren · 24-01-2018 4:51pm

You need to have 3 specialist subjects.

For me;

For the Heats, I'll stump for Golf Majors since 1980, then after winning that I'll go for Apollo 11 in the semi-finals and then once I've won I'll take on How to be Extremely Cocky in the Final itself.

sbsquarepants · 24-01-2018 4:53pm

Mine would be "Women - their inner workings and thought processes"

Celebrity Mastermind no less despite the fact that virtually nobody in the UK would have a clue who she is.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 24-01-2018 5:01pm

English football grounds.

bodhrandude · 24-01-2018 5:03pm

castletownman · 24-01-2018 5:03pm

The Wexford Senior Football Championship since 2000, although would happily narrow it down to GAA or Manchester United in the 21st century.

Reckon I would sweep home

fawltyBas · 24-01-2018 5:06pm

'Your chosen subject?'

'Easter Rising of 1916'

Time starts now ... What was the date of the Easter Rising of 1916?'

'Pass.'

'Who led the Easter Rising of 1916?'

'Pass.'

'How many men were involved in the Easter Rising of 1916?'

'Pass.'

Suddenly a voice boomed from the studio audience:

'That's right, tell them nothing!'

Junkyard Tom · 24-01-2018 5:50pm

You'd not win any points for that, it was "shocking, positively shocking" and Miss Moneypenny was not in that scene.

jonon9 · 24-01-2018 6:25pm

You'd need a sub catagory knowledge of white van road blocking.

Four Phucs Ache · 24-01-2018 7:27pm

Paint brush holding techniques for the specific task of applying paint where the wall meets the ceiling.

My sub category would be the mental state to be in to achieve the above.

OK got one for you Chrongen? Name the 1973 film where Connery who plays a burned out detective who snaps when interrogating a suspected child molester. Its my favourite film with him anyways.
