Mastermind (again)

[Uncleskinny]

Hot on the heels of the Suedeheads getting on telly (see posts, passim), there's another high-profile quiz show featuring Morrissey. Angela Rutledge, formerly of Morrissey-Tour.com, last week recorded an edition of Mastermind - her specialist subject is Morrissey. It will be on TV late September. The questions were a mixed bag - some easy, some very tough. By the way, Morrisseytour.com is now a Finnish online poker site:eek:

Any clue to when this will be on? :cool:

[Kewpie]

Hmmm...this evening?

I forgot to watch it last week, programme on 5th didn't have Angela.

[jesuisbryony]

Ooh ok, I'll try and remember to watch it :)

[Uncleskinny]

I've just e-mailed Angela to ask when she's on...

Peter

[jesuisbryony]

Thank you :)

The sad thing is that I'm genuinely excited :o

[Uncleskinny]

Just checked the interactive stuff, and tonight we have specialist subjects of:The Life of Noor-Inayet Khan, Ferdinand Magellan, Edith Wharton and The Mod Movement in Britain.

Next week (26th) it's Late Stuart Age, Steely Dan, The Spenser novels of Robert Parker and The Life and Career of Joe Frazier, so it may well be on S&G night - that would be well timed.

If Angela replies, I'll let you know.

I tuned in last night just as the bloke began his chosen subject questions on the "Mod Movement". I answered about 90% of them! I'm no Mod myself (or "Mod Sophisticate" as Morrissey puts it), so was quite chuffed to do so well. It soon dawned on me though that his questions were a peice of piss.

I once worked with the bloke who stumbled on the "Your Occupation?" question. It's often on the TV Clip programmes that they do from time to time. Having said that, I'd have had to think about what we actualy did in that job!

[Uncleskinny]

Angela says she's on Mastermind on January 9th, 2009 - so, a bit of a wait then.

Do you honestly think that posting a link to a 13-page thread is helpful at all?

I said to myself before it started that ''Wolverhampton'' would be an answer!

I got three wrong. No idea about the violin on one song, I said Tim Burton, not Broad and didn't know the name of the judge.

Also, I said Stretford for the first question as to where he lived, but must not have heard it properley as it must have said ''early days' or something as the answer was Hulme:o

I got 12. Not bad.

I didn’t get

Maladjusted – wide to receive
Teachers are afraid – Shostakovich
Jonathan Ross (I thought Jules Holland)
I said Steven Street, not Steve Lillywhite

I wonder why she chose the life and SOLO career, not his whole career as her specialist subject?

She did really well on the general knowledge round as well.

But that bloke simply learned more stuff about the great fire of London. I pity the bloke who knows about Chichester Cathedral - of all the things to gen up on...

I remember Peter on the show (though didn't know him at that time).
He got two wrong I seem to recall and I got two wrong as well - one of the questions we both got wrong.

I definately remember one question I got wrong, 'the name of the night club in New York that The Smiths played at on New Years Eve 1983' (Danceteria) but can't remember the other question.

I've no idea. And Passions has let me down...So too for Johnny Rogan.

Anyone?

I was dreading this. If JH had asked her inbetween rounds about the rascist thing i don't think i could have contained myself an d would have just gone and killed him. I'm amazed he didn't. I've noticed how he usually asks contestants scuriilous questions. When the guy who did Richard Nixon was on he dragged up the whole 'bombing Vietnam' thing! tsh!

I can't remember exactly what he said but i remember at one point he had her saying something like 'he's always been nice when i've met him'.

I desperately yearn for that mans death!! I'd rather that than get really nicely laid!!!!!

She should have interrupted the questions, she waits 'til he stops speaking. It would have been nice to hear some more questions!

The girl done good though.

[prisoner77]

Morrissey did say he would of got more of the questions right.

She did okay I suppose.

[Mclenarr]

I was surprised she didn't know the double A side one! I suppose it was nerves or something
