Hello and welcome to Mastermind with me, John Humphrys.

0:01:000:01:04

As you will know by now,

0:01:040:01:06

this is the quiz show that does not take prisoners.

0:01:060:01:08

The rules are simple, but no quarter is given.

0:01:080:01:11

The contenders get two minutes on their specialist subject

0:01:110:01:14

and then two-and-a-half on general knowledge,

0:01:140:01:16

and hesitation can prove fatal.

0:01:160:01:18

The prize is modest, just a glass bowl,

0:01:180:01:21

but the honour of becoming the nation's Mastermind is priceless
