On his specialist subject – The Life of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk ...The Londoner said in a statement through the BBC after the show: “I tried my best but it wasn't my night.”
You are aware that Ataturk is to Turks what Ghandhi is to Indians?
Well Ghandi is known throughout the world. I and many others inhabiting the western world have never heard of this Ataturk guy, so he cant have been that great.

That's why it is a pretty specialist subject, even the guy who chooses it can't answer the questions...

you jest of course. He was a founder of the modern Turkish state. He dragged medieval Turkey out of the dark ages and into the enlightenment.
Ghandi was just some spekky git who walked around in his undies

Criticism of Ataturk can have you arrested in Turkey. They idolise the man. I only knew of him as the founder of modern Turkey, until I watched the Boris Johnson episode of "Who Do You Think You Are". Ataturk was pretty much responsible for the murder of Boris's great-grandad.
"Who was the founder of modern Turkey" probably won't make weakest link, but it'd be a fairly easy question for mastermind.
