What would your Mastermind specialist subjects be?

[storminacupoftea]

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

I have a 5 year old so Minecraft!

Ray Harryhausen
Toho Films
Greek mythology

I suspect they say 'you can't do that' when more than one competitor chooses the same subject, so I'd have fallback subjects as Johnny Cash, the Ramones and The Domestic Cat.

I'm Alan Partridge (series 1 and 2).
The life and times of Mary Berry.
The history of Brittany.
