    Therefore, Magnus Magnusson was named Magnus, son of Magnus. Be a bit of a bugger to find another site saying his father's name was Tony so far into the explanation, eh?... :

    The guy was a great quizmaster and its a shame to see so few posts in agreement so far.

    RIP Magnus

    EDIT: Contradict'd! So soon as well...
    I think it's cruel to name your child after yourself, especially in that naming system.

    Hallo, and welcome to Mastermind, which was very popular once. Our first contender tonight - I've started so I'll finish - is Mr Onan van der Goy of Leicester. Mr van der Goy, you've chosen as your special subject, "Mathematical problems to which the answer is 2". You have five minutes starting from now.

    TWO!
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    RIP for him for sure. He hosted some sort of science program that was on public TV over here in Canada, and I found him an eccentric character who seemed more English than tweed suits, Sherlock Holmes and Bangers and Mash.

    A great character for sure.....Hey wasn't he in the video of "Blinded me with Science" by Thomas Dolby?
    "Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".
