If you found yourself on Mastermind, what would be your specialist subject?

[ilovepiccolina]

Me - no idea really. Something banal. Unlike DH, who knows a lot about one or two subjects, I know a bit about a lot of subjects. I wonder if that's a female thing, and why there aren't that many female contenders?

But anyway, just for fun, your subject? You can't have Coronation St, it's mine!

I would do the "little House on the Prairie" books - know them all inside out and back to front after reading them muself, and to both DSs and having the CDs of them in the car!

Another vote for Antonia Forest novels. And the West Wing.

heheh chim000, here's one for you:

"What was the title of the track only made available as the B-side to the vinyl picture disc of 'The Loving Kind' ? "

I'd have to do Doctor Who, but I fear it has been done too often.

Music (not classical though - not that highbrow!) With specialist in-depth knowledge of Country Music.......seriously!

20th Century Russian Literature
Indiana Jones
Sky's Cookery channels
Scooby Doo

The Kay Scarpetta novels by Patricia Cornwall.

Cloth nappies from the year 2001 until present day.

Fly fishing

I am very good at knowing all our local postcodes (NG1 to NG22) and most of the national telephone dialling codes. You know, without looking them up. I think that would be my specialist subject. Unusual. Bit dull.

Prince pre 1991.

Sadly I know nothing about anything. Twould have to be either Buffy, or Stephen King novels (and my knowledge of some of the later ones is a bit dicey- would probably have to restrict it to SK novels of the 1970s and 80s)

Ooh, DH and I were discussing this after watching Tony Parsons do surprisingly badly on 'British Punk and New Wave'.

You've got to be specific, haven't you, so I could offer:
The life and career of Billie Joe Armstrong
The life and career of Johnny Depp
My Chemical Romance (reckon I'm obsessed anough to take whatever they throw at me on that one)

One of the posters on here (I forget who ) linked to her DH answering rather impressively on the Sandman graphic novels, I only got two less than him so I reckon I could polish that up to be do-able as well.

As you will notice, they are all highly intellectual topics...

hf is that by J R Hartley ?

I got a good number of the James Bond and Oasis questions despite only being a fair-weather fan of both, certainly not a specialist. They must have been pretty easy for someone who had studied the subjects.

Maybe she is J R Hartley

Or AC/DC.

school admissions ! or what to put in school lunch box today !

The UK Pop Charts, 1980?1989.

sadly.

Serial killers. Or sharks.

no she can't be. he/she is still wandering around aimlessly trying to remember where he left the blimmin book.
he needs a copy coz he is so old he can't remember what he wrote. thus no good for MM if you can't remember the text

Or the works of Jim Henson.

I would like it to be "Social History of Women in Britain 1945-1960."

TBH at the moment it would "Sponge Bob Square Pants".
