Mastermind

[Simpo Two]

Just wanted to say how refreshing this was a couple of nights ago.

30 seconds intro
29 minutes of gloves-off really hard questions, and excellent contestants
30 seconds credits.

Now why can't all programmes be like that? Try The Apprentice or Masterchef and you don't see anything new until 15 minutes in.

Agreed. Until fairly recently they always had some small talk on Mastermind about the contestants chosen specialist subject but now they get straight down to business.
