What would your specialist subject be?

For those who don't know, Mastermind is a simple quiz show with two rounds; one on general knowledge, the other a topic of your choosing? There's no silly tension music, just the contestant sitting in a black leather chair with all eyes on him/her.

I ask because I've just seen a chap answering q's on Senna (he did quite well) and I was curious to know what you all might pick given the chance.

Do they have a list of specialist subjects to choose from or can it be anything?

Mine would be dunkable biscuits of the late 20th century.

I don't speak from experience, but based on how wide and random the choices have been (including motorways of Britain!) I'd guess you can pick whatever you like.

I would pick 'The life of Brown, Jon Brow' then. :p

You can choose anything, within reason. Questions are then set by various subject experts.

If you don't watch the Fox drama "House", then you will be in trouble...because to many, that is the most famous thing Laurie has ever worked on...

I do watch it and like it. It has just so happened that just about everything these two have produced has been available to me one way or another, and I've consumed it with a passion. Great people, great works.
