Episode 27 Mastermind

First in the spotlight tonight is Gary Wright,

a postman from London.

He's answering questions on Men Behaving Badly.

Sharon Montgomery's a housewife from East Lothian.

Her specialist subject,

Caroline Graham's Inspector Barnaby novels.

Next, Andy Burrows, a subtitler from Shrewsbury,

on the German football league, the Bundesliga.

Andrew Diamond is an IT consultant from Walthamstow.

His specialist subject, Gerald Durrell.

And Roger Canwell from Norwich. His subject, Neville Chamberlain.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to Mastermind with me, John Humphrys.

Five contenders instead of the usual four, tonight,

because this is a semifinal.

The other difference is that there is a minute and a half

for the specialist subjects and two minutes for general knowledge.

Otherwise, it's the same - the twin pressures of holding their nerve

and knowing enough to get them through to the grand final.

Only one of them can do that

and remain on course to be crowned the nation's Mastermind.

So, let's get on with it and ask our first contender to join us, please.
