The worlds thickest man on mastermind now

I think he got one correct answer in the general knowledge round.

It was painful to watch.

The celebrities get crib sheets for this programme.

You wouldn't think so, would you...




Celebrity Mastermind 28th December 2008

David Lammy - The Minister for Higher Education - 13 points

His answer for Tunny Hunsaker was wrong, he said 'Patrolman' and  got the point, but Hunsaker was the Chief of Police in Lafayetteville, not a patrolman.

Nobel prize for work in radiation? - Marie Antoinette

James Gandolfin - which American TELEVISION series - The Godfather

Blue English cheese to accompany port - Red Leicester

He got the Oprah Winfrey one right - bless


His best answer?
Q: Who succeeded Henry VIII?
A: Henry VII


Toyah Wilcox - ex-pop star and media celeb - 14 points


David Harewood - actor - 24 points


Dave Myers - Celebrity chef - 24 points

Jack Black - on Lammy's question - 25 points


It could be worse - on the Boxing Day Celebrity Mastermind 2003 - David Blunkett scored just 2 in the GK round.


Politicians eh????

How on earth did Lammy get the 'Minister for Higher Education' gig please?

I saw this tonight and agree that they were all abysmal.  I thought Quentin Letts' general knowledge questions were several notches harder than those given to the other three, but still quite tame.

I reckon many ten-year-olds would have won this evening's contest.  Where on a scorpion's body is its sting?  Embarrassing.

It's a fair bet that it wasn't for his quick wits and knowledge. Blair had him for a lap dog. According to the video Blair said soon after giving him the job 'I believe there will be a black Prime Minster one day.'

Who could he have possibly meant back in 2008, not Chuckup Amoona, or Diane Flabbott, shirley?
