Celebrity Mastermind - Series 1 - Episode 4

A celebrity edition of the BBC 2 quiz "Mastermind," hosted by John Humphrys. This one has Stephen Fry and Gyles Brandreth, so it's gotta be good.

If you're wondering why it's lower quality, I don't make the videos, I just get them from... a website.

[winmine0327]

so you're not penalized for guessing, but you are for passing?

[TheBankersNephew]

@winmine0327 Not quite. If you guess wrong, then the host reads out the answer, wasting time you could be getting questions in, and when you pass, he merely reads it out after the round is over.

[Mangina9000]

This show should be renamed Closeup on the Faces of People Suffering. Or just Schadenfreude 2000

[PianoWizzy]

"In The Hound Of The Baskervilles by what name did Jack Stapleton (sp?), head of a school in Yorkshire, establish a name in entomology?"

"Oh, bugger... I mean pass"

Oh, hahaha, I see what you did there. That is incredibly fast wit.

[jerryg1964]

Now I know where "general ignorance" comes from on QI

[WolfgangBrozart]

Guess that's what you get for relying on Star Wars for half the show.

[tavernmancer]

when he said the short answer was no, I was waiting for him to say the long answer was "fuck no"

[vmikozod]

I knew he will choose Sherlock Holmes! This is (one of the reasons) why I love Stephen... :D

[jiztroughgirl]

@j2091957 of course he does :) he's a genious

[louloubellas1981]

I don't get why Stephen Fry did so rubbish in the specialised round 1. He seems to be able to remember facts very very well, why didn't he make more effort to seek out the facts for his subject? Or did the managers of the show take him aside & order him to give the other contestants a chance perhaps!

[wimpylassiter2336]

Im so proud for knowing like a third of those Sherlock Holmes questions. OK, maybe a quarter.

[davidmichael07]

It was obvious Stephen was going to make an outstanding comeback in the general knowledge round. He hosts Qi for goodness sake!

[jimdidr]

can someone get the poet some eye drops.

at 21:13 I mutter to myself "Praying mantis" or maybe I just muttered "mantis" but WHY the FUCK did my subconscious know ? :( I'm scared, am I a dullard keeping my subconscious hostage?
