According to the listings in today's Observer someone's doing Richard Thompson as their specialist subject on next Friday's Mastermind. Anyone from these parts?

Someone had the specialist subject of "The Life and Work of Sandy Denny" a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, the 2 minutes ticked away and they scored zero because they couldn't get past the first question.
"Who knows where the time goes?"
Has anyone seen my coat?

Seem to remember someone doing Fairport Convention as their specialist subject a few years back.
The format at the time was that John Simpson would chat briefly with each contestant,asking them how their interest in their special subject developed etc.
Simpson told the contestant that he had never heard of Fairport Convention prior to doing the show!
I got about two right.Must try harder on Friday

My mistake indeed.
It was never the same after Magnus Magnusson.
Is my face red!

I preferred Magnus.. I saw him once at an RSPB conference.. JH seems so patronising.

I've been to a couple of recordings of MM in Manchester & JH comes across as a very nice man who genuinely tries to keep the contestants calm with his chat.
The chatting bit at the start of the general knowledge round is heavily cut in the edit and can go on for 5 minutes or more, rather than the 20-30 seconds we see on screen (this could be due to technical issues we are not party to and he is flanneling).

Steve Tilston also told a story about watching it and being really surprised when his name was one of the answers...
It was about who wrote a song for FC.
