A contestant on Mastermind has gained the distinction of scoring the lowest ever score.....5. The previous lowest was 7.

His specialist subject was Mustafa Kemel Ataturk, to which he scored 4 of his final 5 points, thus only getting one correct answer in the General Knowledge Round.

In the general section I scored only one too, the capacitor. So I am just as bad!

Poor bugger it was clearly nerves..



No-one has said how many 'Ataboy' one's they got right ;)



I'd just finished re-reading Kinross' biography, again..and I got all excited when the question about where was he born came up..



For those that want to take some of his general knowledge questions..

I guess they all seem 'easy' until you are in front of the camera..



With any luck they will ask him to come back on for the celebrity mastermind at Christmas.. if this lad is wise he could capitalise as on his 'bad night'..
