He doesn’t remember that, in an interview with Spotlight on Alumni of the University of Sussex, where Myrie studied law, he said his favourite record was the Bach cello suites played by Paul Tortelier. But he does know that the Verona opera festival, which he and his wife visit every year (the past two excepted), was started in 1913 to celebrate the centenary of Verdi’s birth.

Learning lessons from the transition to the 2015 Regulations, the new Act will make transitional application for procurements which are “non-competitive”– for example those that are exempt because they are “in-house” contracts or “joint collaborations”. Any non-competitive procurement entered into later than 3 months after implementation date will be subject to the rules of the new regime, unless a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice (VEAT) has already been published for the procurement.

If I look at the question through the lens of the LAB Profile, the Reason filter has something interesting to offer. The winners advance to the next round, for which they must choose a different specialised subject. In the early years of the programme, finalists were allowed to reuse their first-round subjects in the grand final. However, from 1992 onwards, the finalists are required to choose a third subject. The winner of the final of the BBC version is declared "Mastermind" for that year and is the only contestant to receive a prize, in the form of a cut glass engraved bowl. During Magnus Magnusson's tenure as presenter, the trophy was specially manufactured by Caithness Glass. A special guest would always be invited to present the trophy to the winner, with the exception of the final edition in 1997, in which Magnusson presented it himself. Every trophy used by the main series has been made by Scottish artist Denis Mann. [3] Versions [ edit ] Cup Final Grandstand – BBC One London – 12 May 1979". BBC Genome Project .

Is he good at quizzes? “Clearly not,” he says, referring to those miserable four points, before admitting he is quite useful in a pub quiz team.

Not bad, for range.

Sometimes I feel like slipping away from it all, but after a week or two I’m ready for work again. It’s not that I’m ambitious, it’s more like Magnus Magnusson says to the contestants on ‘Mastermind’ . . . ‘ I’ve started so I’ll finish.’” The 2003-onwards version has been spoofed by the Dead Ringers team, with Jon Culshaw playing John Humphrys. In one send-up, which appeared on the television edition of Dead Ringers, the contestant offered to answer questions on Mary Queen of Scots, but when an answer was given, John Humphrys was shown saying "Yes, but you sexed that answer up". The sketch was a reference to the controversy caused by the aftermath of the Iraq War. One episode included Mastermind: The Opera.

Discovery Channel's Mastermind (2001) was hosted by Clive Anderson. The commercials shortened the amount of time available for answering questions and lasted just one series. This was also the first to go "interactive". By using the red button viewers could play the general knowledge section throughout the series. These questions had been written specifically to afford both standard and multiple-choice format in presentation. There was a one-off competition between the four highest scoring viewers. [ citation needed] The earliest occurrences of the phrase that I have found explicitly refer to BBC’s Mastermind and to Magnus Magnusson. The first of these occurrences is from the humoristic column Keith Waterhouse 2 on Thursday, published in the Daily Mirror (London, England) of Thursday 12 th January 1978:

He bigs up the work done by his colleagues Michael Buchanan, Alison Holt and Mark Easton. “But it goes under the radar – people don’t alight on it. They will talk about this idea that the BBC is not getting where it should be.
