What would your specialist subject be on Mastermind?

[ssd]

I think mine would be Malcolm in the Middle...watched that continously when boys were younger..

I should be able to do my PhD subject. But it came up once as a specialist subject, and I performed miserably because I was so bloody slow.

So instead I'm plumping for Mumsnet.

The West Wing
Bluewater 1999-2018
Apollo 13

Nirvana (the band)

The Anne of Green Gables series of books

Pride and Prejudice, BBC version

Calorie counts of particular foods

Cat breeds

Gavin and Stacey
Or...the Life and times of A1 (band not road!)

The six wives of Henry VIII.
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.

90’s Britpop

Celebrity gossip
The Simpsons

My DP and I were talking about this the other night and then had a look and they are looking for applicants at the moment.

To apply you need to list 5 specialist subjects with the program being able to pick which one out of 3 that you do on what show, although they ask for you preference for the one you prefer on your first show.

We'd only come up with 3 each at that point, so got bored and didn't fill the rest in!!!

Mine were
Auschwitz
Descartes Meditations
I wanted chronicles of Narnia, but they have had that too many times!
Possibly Buddhsim, but that's too broad, so maybe the life and Dharma of the Buddha

Stating the Bleeding Obvious

Lesser-known beat groups of the 1960s

The Chartist Movement

Lovejoy

Mine would be Gone With the Wind, book and film. Husband's would be the Godfather films One Two and Three.

Colin the caterpillar vs Cuthbert

Cub badges
Julia Donaldson books
Call the midwife
Early Chalet School books (limited by availability!)

Line of Duty
ER
London Underground
Jacqueline Wilson books

Beagles
Harry Potter
Friends
The book "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman
Alice in wonderland

I couldn't have this as mine right now as I need to learn them all but I have always known mine would be 'the 350 pasta shapes and the reasoning behind Them and the names . I'd love to know all of them. Am slightly obsessed with this topic in every day life but am not knowledgeable enough for master mind just yet.

The life and times of Diana, Princess of Wales

The life and times of Brother Cadfael
Or
The Aubrey/Maturin books
Or
Alexander the Great

The life and times of mumsnet. Or he could just fire scenarios at me and I'd deem him reasonable or unreasonable as I saw fit.

Sweet Valley Twins!

Malcolm in the middle could be one of my specialist subjects as well, op

The life and times of mumsnet. Or he could just fire scenarios at me and I'd deem him reasonable or unreasonable as I saw fit.

That's an awesome idea.

I'd definitely want the quizmaster to be female though. With a touch of Patricia Routledge. Or Patricia Hodge. Or Patricia Carmichael.

'Patricias on TV' is now calling to me as a subject.
