The rules: you need 3 (for the heat, semi-final and final) and they can’t be anything to do with your job. Can be as populist or erudite as you fancy!

It’s ok if they’ve been done before.

Mine would be:
Cabin Pressure (radio show)
Green Wing (TV show)
The life and works of Alan Rickman

Unfortunately I’d only have one, 80’s rock. I’d have to drop out at that point.

90s music
The life and works of Madonna
Crime dramas

JustHavinABreak · 17/01/2024 07:28

I'd to think that it would be

  1. African American Literature
  2. Women's history in Ireland
  3. 90s pop music

But because this is anonymous, it would probably have to be:

  1. Peppa Pig
  2. Disney princesses
  3. Useless facts about Liverpool FC

I was talking about this with DP just last week funnily enough and we both agreed Peppa Pig would be the subject we probably confidently know most broadly about currently 😅

Harry PotterMerlin (tv)

PuppyMonkey · 17/01/2024 08:25

I always said mine would be Frasier. But then I watched somebody else go on and their specialist subject actually WAS Frasier and i was very disappointed in my poor performance. They were hard questions.

Thisbastardcomputer · 17/01/2024 08:51

My husband's would be the M18 motorway. He's obsessed with it, tells me daily if it's congested or closed, he checks google maps.

He travels it perhaps once a week 😂
