Found out about this from a tweet by @mrblackfrancis last night- The Pixies (yes the BBC called them The Pixies, not Pixies) were the specialised subject of one of the contestants on Mastermind. I never watch this but checked out that bit on BBC iPlayer, if you are in the UK you can watch it there now.
The guy was straight off the mark with the answers, and so was nearly I. They were pretty easy questions actually and probably most Pixies fans would get about 50% right I reckon. Not sure if that's technically cheating, some of them were a bit tough. What kind of questions could you ask that are really tough though?
I might watch it later and post up the questions for the benefit of non-UK members, so that's a possible spoiler alert for the next thread.
Wowzers! Shit, I've caught a couple of Classic Mastermind episodes lately, haven't seen any new episodes. The BBC iPlayer is still not available in Ireland, this episode is gone anyway. Not on YouTube as yet.
Here's a guy getting a perfect run on the subject of Alan Partridge!
Sorry I didn't write out the rest of the questions. I thought they could have been a bit harder. It's hard to find BBC and CH4 stuff elsewhere on the internet they keep a tight lock on their shit, you can't even do screen dumps anymore.
