Well i was always told never specialise as specialists are the 1st roles to go when "change" happens!
In that vein, I could probably score 8 or better in a quite a few chosen topics.
Granted a lot of those would be subsets of political, military, religious or economic history.
Or technical such as Aviation, naval or military equipment and uses.
Thats before we get into sports!

Was actually watching it a few nights ago and 1 of the contestants had the American Civil war as their specialist topic and I handily outscored him!

But real quizzing is "only connect" and "university challenge" ��

I think it'd be handy to do well in the specialist subject round so long as you don't too wide a topic. Once I was l looking at Mastermind when I saw that the racehorse Arkle was somebody's specialist subject. I read it's Wikipedia entry in two or three minutes, and got 6 right. I know that's not brilliant but imagine if I had even done 2 hours research?

Repeat threads on Boards.ie on what would be your specialist subject on Mastermind.

"What was your pick when the thread subject resurfaced again towards the end of 2017?"

"Father Ted"

The Life And Times Of Me.

But Id have to narrow it down to something more specific due to messing and partying. If it was just questions on 2018 I reckon Id get a few wrong.

Eoin McLove: [Father Ted on Eoin's quiz show] Well Father, you've got 4 out of 5 questions right on your specialist subject, William Shatner's Tek Wars. So, if you get the general knowledge question right, the £500 will be yours. Oh no! People will think this is rigged. John Paul II. What was his name before he became Pope?

Father Ted Crilly: [long pause across end credits] Jim?

Duckworth_Luas

The journalistic works of Barry Eagan.

I'd likely score 0 in the general knowledge round, given that I'd be practically lobotomized after reading his garbage.

Guy Mowbury (Football Commentator BBC) was on the celebrity one recently and picked Iron Maiden as his specialist subject. He scored 10 , I scored 11 .... that makes me one louder :cool:

English football grounds.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a football "ground" a technical term?

Craven Cottage is a ground whereas Anfield isn't.
Something to do with dimensions or height of stands/terraces/whatever or dugout or something?

I think you're right there. Isn't it something to do with grounds, parks and bowls? Anfield would be a Park stadium I presume.

Egs of the old bowl designs would be the original version of Stamford Bridge and the Valley, Charlton's ground.

This is the old S.B.
