Mastermind Meltdown and Fish Fingers

We were watching telly last night and flicked onto Mastermind (nothing on at all!). It was semi-final round so all the contestants should have been pretty clued up ... or so you'd think. One lass did particularly well and scored 18 on some trilogy, another two scored 13 each, but you had to feel sorry for the next chap.

It was an odd choice of specialised subject: Jim Carrey Movies (the chap was in his 50's) and you knew it wasn't going to go well from the first question. "It's oh, um ... PASS". And so it continued you could see the guy wishing the ground would swallow him up. He got 1 point, ONE point (we even managed that and we're not keen on JC movies!) and racked up 8 passes.

Things didn't get too much better in the next round but at least got 8 more points (and finished rock bottom last).

Watch out for this on TV's Most Embarassing Moments!

I've introduced Callum to Fish Fingers ... I haven't had these since I was little and I'd forgotten how scrummy they are. Not sure who enjoyed them more; Callum or me!!
