Alex, I'll help you out here because Mastermind is obviously not your specialist subject.

On Mastermind, you choose your specialist subject yourself, and you bone up on it before going to the show.

F**k me, it's like Groundhog Day all over again!

As I said above myself...

Specialist Subject does automatically mean good knowledge of said specialist subject.

He also invented Turkish delight, the kebab and a scheme for making money by turning 5p coins into 50p coins

Now that's not true.

Turkish Delight was invented by Elizabeth Fry, who married into the Fry chocolate family and was a big advocate of penal reform. Elizabeth wanted to introduce legislation that enforced the minimum size of the British male penis to match that of a Turk who she had slept with - hence "Fry's Turkish Delight".

The point - and this seems to be lost on some people - is that it was supposed to be the blokes "Specialist Subject"! He chose that subject and knew f**k all about it!

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.

Like your "Specialised Subject" is "F**k all" and you know everything about that!

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.

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

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

[NeverBeenNorthOfTheM25]

You are aware that Ataturk is to Turks what Ghandhi is to Indians?

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.”

He mustafa had a bad day.
