TBF Mr Blobby doing 21st century politics would have produced a similar result.

Quite possibly true, but still managing to make someone on here look foolish with their Brexit/Johnson obsession

 

[Frutos]

I outscored the contestant on the Eurovision specialist round.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Remember Fred Housego? I recall a comedian saying was it any surprise a taxi driver won Mastermind "Specialist subject?"

"absolutely f***ing everything"

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

What would your specialist subject be?

 

[The Clamp]

What would your specialist subject be?

I’d like to to say something really intellectual.
But I’d have to go with the Indiana Jones films.

Did his legendary SNL host performance prompt a question?

 

[Lenny Rider]

What would your specialist subject be?

Phoenix Nights or the history of Subbuteo.

Here's a question for sporting masterminds :

What is the minimum number of balls you need to pot to win a snooker frame.

Here's a question for sporting masterminds :

What is the minimum number of balls you need to pot to win a snooker frame.

In theory, but highly unlikely, it would be none which could be done in 2 ways:
Your opponent is snookered and fails to make a proper attempt to escape and after being warned by the ref they need to make a proper attempt (or there is an easier shot they are turning down to make their escape) they still fail, they forfeit the frame or, alternatively and even less likely, they simply they foul so much they score you enough points to win the frame without you needing to pot a ball

They met their Waterloo?

So it would be 1, then.

I'd struggle with that to be fair.

Mine would be neurotransmitters. Would struggle over 5HT1D-alpha and -beta to be fair, even though I've published on it. Mesulergine? What is that? Can't remember. Wiki tells me it is an agonist of dopamine D2-like receptors and serotonin 5-HT6 receptors and an antagonist of serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT7 receptors
Well, f*** me. That's me out.

Can I have the music of And Also The trees?

Yes, I'd like to say something like the Tang Dynasty of China 618 to 907AD, but I'd probably go for the 'Molesworth' books by Ronald Searle and Geoffrey Willans.

Me as well, not enough questions about his late 70's / early 80's stuff...

As for specialist subject the Battle of Britain Film.

 

[pasty]

On the celebrity version I beat Rhys Thomas on his specialist subject of Queen, so that would be mine. Either that or Only Fools And Horses

Here's a question for sporting masterminds :

Technically none if the opponent fouls 3 times with a ball on and is not snookered:
