What would your specialist subject be on Mastermind?

I would love to know what you would choose as your specialist subject on Mastermind.

Mine would be either George Orwell's 1984, The Office US or Ru Paul's Drag Race.

The Narnia books.

A pp said the Discworld series. I love them too but I think that would be really hard because there are so many. I'd go for just a set eg the Witches and Lancre, Death or City Watch. I might stand a chance then.

Being Human

Jane Austen novels

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 12/01/2020 14:54

I was going to say Harry Potter but see its banned.

So Disney Princesses (don't even have a DD to blame that on)
OR
How to survive a broken heart.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 12/01/2020 14:58

I think they should have a Harry Potter special with all contestants having HP as specialist subject.
There was a time when I would have said Thomas the Tank Engine books, and still would say HP but today I’ll go with Downton Abbey with special nod to Dowager Countess...

I was accepted for Mastermind and chose the Carry On films, but they said no cos it was done recently ☹️ Had to pull out later on anyway.
There was someone on recently with the Carry On films and I beat her 😁
