On today`s Mastermind one of the specialist subjects is `the travels of Michael Palin.`

So I`m just wondering which one of you it is ...

What were the questions like?

Re: Mastermind tonight by julwis on 16 March 2005 12:55pm

I caught some of it, the questions were a mixed bag from all the series, though I managed to answer more than the guy did. Mind you under the spot light and sitting in the plastic chair must be distracting! Well done to the guy for getting the score he did!
Was it just me or did anyone else find John Humphrys' questions make Michael sound like a Victorian explorer? "At which station did Palin board such and such...... when embarking on his Around the World trip?"
One question that was passed was about which station the train travelling to Kiev left from in Pole to Pole. The answer was Dno, but JH said hed have accepted "dont know" as an answer too. Hmm!

What JH actually said was that he wished the question had been answered, because if the contestant had said 'Dno', he would have taken it as a pass(dunno). It was what you call a joke, Julwis!!

I`m so dim, I only scored 9 ...

Spursfan, yep youre right about what JH said, I only caught some of it, my exasperation was due to it being a lousy joke!
If thered been any mileage in a joke like that then Im sure Michael would have made a comment like that on P2P. Better he stick to stories of noseless dogs!
