Great question, OP. My specialist subjects would be the Carry On Movies, Friends and One Hit Wonders in the UK from the 1980s . Mind you, as I've said many times to my husband, I would never go on a quiz show just to win a glass bloody bowl! I'd only go on something I could win actual cash or a decent prize!

Stephen King novels, especially The Dark Tower series. I forget my own birthday but somehow remember everything about these books.

AmericanHousewifefan · 15/01/2019 08:40

A History of Capital Punishment in Britain ...

Life and times of the Pre-Raphaelites - particularly the Rossetti family

... you need 2, as I recall, because if you get through to the final, you can't repeat your first subject.

Life and times of the Pre-Raphaelites - particularly the Rossetti family
Music and career of Led Zeppelin Rossetti, are you a weird hybrid of DH and me? One of mine would be the PRB, and his would definitely be Led Zep. Another one of mine would be 'the life and works of David Attenborough', and then thirdly 'Blackadder' (any series).
