Mastermind returns to our screens this week, with the first episode as usual heading out on BBC 2 on Friday Night. Something I have been doing for the past few series is the Wiki Challenge. This was inspired by Dave Clark over at the LAM blog. Basically the Challenge involves using Wikipedia to read up on the Specialist Subjects due to come up on that weeks Mastermind and see how many points a brief reading/revision spell can earn you.
I have found it adds to the fun watching the show, has given me a great range of knowledge in fields I have not really read up on and also leads into many other areas of reading.
So I intend to do it again for the new series and the first weeks subjects on Mastermind are -
Yes Minister
The Battle of Lepanto
JM Barrie
St Pauls Cathedral
Let me know if you try the Challenge and how you get on.
