Talk:Mastermind (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please add the winner of 2005 Junior Mastermind to this article. I would myself, but I have forgotten. --Jawr256 13:47, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
I've added the format of the game - the intro hinted at this, but didn't give details. I'm also tempted to add the layout - walking up the the black chair must add to the contestant's claustrophobia and nervousness. CS Miller 21:11, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Game show or quiz show
I'm not from the UK so I can't tell if this is a game show or a TV series. Please feel free to correct me based on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television). Thanks! --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 15:29, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Mastermind is a quiz show. There is no 'game' element to it, the aim is solely to accumulate as many points as possible with the time alotted. Martyn Smith 12:11, 12 June 2006 (UTC) (contestant on current series, programme to be broadcast 6 July 2006, 2200 hrs BBC2. So watch it!)
[edit] POV regarding ESPN host
"Unlike Mastermind presenters, Mayne has a very dry, quirky and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor, but did a very good job of keeping the game going; he would quickly jump in if one of the celebrity panelists was tardy in posing their question, so as not to penalise the contestant." This seems a bit much, even if it's true. -Dmh 13:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What are your sources for the contestant lists?
In order put the right Chippenham link in Mastermind 2005 Results, I would like to find out which Chippenham Richard Pierce (author and freelance lecturer) comes from (Wiltshire or Cambridgeshire). A quick google search isn't coming up with anything. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Celebrity Mastermind
Some mention of the celebrity version should probably be added to the article, perhaps in the "Versions of Mastermind" section. 81.153.95.107 06:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
