	Mastermind (television) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mastermind is one of the most highly regarded British quiz shows, well-known for its challenging questions, intimidating setting, and air of seriousness.
		Junior Mastermind, also hosted by John Humphrys, is a children's version of the quiz programme and has the same format, the difference being that the contestants are only ten and eleven years old.
		Unlike Mastermind presenters, Mayne has a very dry, quirky and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor, but did a very good job of keeping the game going; he would quickly jump in if one of the celebrity panelists was tardy in posing their question, so as not to penalise the contestant.

	BBC - Entertainment - The History of Mastermind
		'Mastermind' is widely regarded as the most rigorous and intellectual British quiz show, and, after 35 years, has become one of television's most enduring successes.
		'Mastermind' was the brainchild of TV producer Bill Wright, a former RAF gunner, who drew on his wartime experience as a PoW in Germany of answering three questions - name, rank and number - to create the 'Mastermind' ritual of contestants being asked their name, occupation and specialist subject.
		In 2001, the television series was revived on The Discovery Channel, with well-known chat show host Clive Anderson as quizmaster, and a new interactive feature which allowed viewers at home to 'play along'.

		Television quiz shows evolved from old radio productions such as The Quiz Kids (1940-1951) and were subsequently converted into the television format.

		Television is not only an entertainment device, it is also a persuader and influencer and we must therefore by cautious.

		The venue is so huge and so magnificent that the Taj Group, which is restoring it and building a heritage luxury property here, has spent a whole seven years in just planning the restoration; meanwhile, the palace has been gathering dust and waiting for a new lease of life.
		None of the off-air chaos will be visible when the show goes on air — wires criss-crossing the room, the occasional whispers in the audience, all the takes and re-takes that Siddhartha went through when he — or his team members — felt he hadn't done it right.

	Kicking Cable - What do you need from TV in wartime? By Virginia Heffernan
		The agenda could just as well have been given in prose and still photographs since the virtues of television, sound and moving pictures, are so rarely exploited.
		Radio, television, and now the Internet give us the ability to experience it "as it happens" but experience has taught that works not because the medium or its journalists do it so well but because - for important enough subjects and short enough intervals - viewers are interested enough to put up with it.
		Heffernan's reactionary rant against the new style of news is premature; she exhibits an especially shrill, left-field version of Slate's house balloon-pricking tendencies.
