Mastermind. What would your specialist subject be?

As per thread title.

Mine:-

Manchester City 1966-1970

Led Zeppelin 1969-1975.

I remember celebrity Mastermind and Adam Buxton chose David Bowie. He got 1 wrong, I got them all right.
Yeah, David Bowie - for the 1st round.
No idea what I'd choose next for when I go through to the semi finals.

At the age of 10 my school held a Mastermind competition, 1975 if I remember correctly. My specialist subject was astronomy, I was a member of the Salford Astronomy Club and became the first Scout to obtain the Scouting Astronomy badge. Anyway I won the competition and received this. I was so pleased, I still watch the programme to this day.

Find an obscure topic where only one book has been written on it, and learn that book. That's the only place they can source their questions from. So, something like Indonesian politics of the 17thC.

Failing that, I'd go for FA Cup finals of the 70s.

[Quattromaster]

Phoenix nights series 1 & 2.

I need a life, lol.

You need a life!?

I've thought about this, and I'd probably go for the Harry Potter books!

Then again, despite having decent knowledge (Severus Snape's mother was Eileen Prince for example - mentioned once across all seven books) the question would be, "What is the name of the chapter in Half Blood Prince where Professor Snape's mother's name is mentioned?". Me = scuppered.

Her name was found out by Hermione reading old clippings that mentioned past captains of Hogwarts' gobstones teams

Indonesian politics of the 17thC is well documented, mainly due to the fact it is when the VOC (Dutch East India Company) are expanding control and becoming the richest/ most powerful company in the world, and they kept good records. Not an obscure topic at all!

Isn't the obvious answer to the OP "Your Mum"?

[hammo19]

The V bombers or the Green Bay Packers

Damn! Lucky my general knowledge is half decent.
