Tonight, four contenders facing four-and-a-half minutes of

and more importantly the title of Mastermind Champion.

APPLAUSE

0:25:540:25:58

So, Richard, congratulations.

0:26:050:26:07

Why did you choose Porridge, just as a matter of interest?

0:26:070:26:10

No reason you shouldn't have, of course, but why in particular?

0:26:100:26:13

I just grew up with it.

0:26:130:26:14

You know, I remember seeing it the first time it came out

0:26:140:26:17

in the mid-'70s, and it's still being re-shown today.

0:26:170:26:21

But there's an awful lot of it to learn. I mean, lots of...

0:26:210:26:24

-Not really. It's surprising.

-No?

0:26:240:26:26

-Have a guess how many programmes there were.

-Crikey!

0:26:260:26:29

-60?

-22.

-No!

0:26:290:26:32

Well, I was thinking what a worthy winner you were...

0:26:320:26:35

-LAUGHTER Dead easy!

-Thank you.

0:26:350:26:38

-I am a worthy winner. Thank you, John.

-Piece of cake, really.

0:26:380:26:40

So, have you decided on your next subject?

0:26:400:26:42

-Cos you've got to come back now, of course.

-Oh, dear. Do I have to do?

-Yes.

0:26:420:26:45

Yeah, the next one is slated to be the Tolpuddle Martyrs,

0:26:450:26:48

-so a bit of a change.

-Bit different.

-Yeah.

-What a contrast.

-Yeah.

0:26:480:26:51

Anyway, well done. So, Richard, obviously, is tonight's winner.

0:26:510:26:54

Goes through to the semifinals. Congratulations to him.
