2011/2012 contestants and winners table

Hope you don't mind folks, but I updated the table in full, so that it shows all the specialist subject for the entire series. The BBC's official Mastermind website have published a list of all subjects/celebrities. Wesley Mouse (talk) 19:15, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Wesley, I reverted your edits as while those are the topics for the respective episodes next weeK, they are not in the respective order. It says " The guests are......" and "Topics will include....". It doesn't say each person's topic next to their name or say "respectively" at the end, so we don't know if each list of topics are concurrent with those of the guests. What sort of tipped me off as well, was that on the episode on 5 January, you have Andrew Collins as answering questions on The Toronto Blue Jays. I find that weird that he would answer question on that topic as he's British, but Stewart Francis, a Canadian comedian from Ontario would know a lot about that baseball team. (The last time he was on, his topic was the hockey team, the Toronto Maple Leafs) Also, the below article from Radio Times confirms that Andrew Collins topic was "cinematic" in nature. So I would guess that his topic is "Disaster Movies of the 1970's" http://www.radiotimes.com/blog/2011-11-18/andrew-collins-no-spoilers!

This is why I chose to delete the topic sections for next week's episode. You did a fine job, but the list of topics isn't necessarily in the same order and we don't know which of the 4 topics each celebrity will be answering questions on each day. I believe that we should wait for next week and fill in te topic sections after each episode. hope I explained myself properly. cheers!70.83.85.91 (talk) 21:54, 30 December 2011 (UTC)samusek2[reply]

While I understand what your personal reasons for not including the details, you'll find I was within scope as per Wikipedia:Verifiability, and the BBC's page does appear to have listed the first 4 episodes in the correct order of celebrity and their respective specialist subject - and the BBC's website is covered under policy as per reliability. Seeing as the previous episodes have been listed in the correct order, then it is safe to assume that the BBC have kept consistent and the details for subsequent episodes are correct as printed. The article is also slightly incorrect, the final episode is listed as to be screened on January 7, 2012. However, the BBC have it listed as being shown on January 8, 2012 - there is no episode for January 7. There's also another episode (January 2, 2012) that is being screened a day earlier to viewers in BBC Scotland (January 1, 2012). That hasn't been noted in the article, which should be as per Wikipedia:Notability. Wesley Mouse (talk) 22:51, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. The Radio Times link you provided doesn't show anything whatsoever, only a blog page - and newsblogs are to be treated with caution when it comes to reliability; as per WP:NEWSBLOG. I get the Radio Times at home, and believe me the Christmas 2-week bumper edition had several programs listed, that where not even broadcast. December 29, the magazine didn't show Deal or No Deal as being screened for that day, yet it was broadcast. Even Channel 4 themselves mentioned something about some TV Listings forgetting to list the show. Wesley Mouse (talk) 23:01, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I took the courtesy to email the BBC, explaining to them about this article, and to double check the topics for the January 5th episode. Corrected that list on the article accordingly, as it appears that the details on the official website for that episode only have been input in the wrong order. The other episodes are corrected listed in the right order. Wesley Mouse (talk) 21:57, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chosen charities?

If there's no money involved, why do contestants choose a charity? Lazyzee (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
