ADAM BUXTON ON CELEBRITY MASTERMIND

[@bl3iv3s]

An unfathomable intensity of laser focus. Buxton demonstrating his pure genius.

[@iEditStuf]

Pretty sure the answer for every question is sutin

Sport Palace.

[@MrThunderwing]

Buckles should've answered these in the voice of Rosie the dog.

[@aikighost]

Not boggins? :P

[@54spatula]

What about Ken Korda?

[@euphospug]

or the Queen

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

Even better, in Zavid's own voice.

[@owencampbell8799]

“ my wife” robot voice would be good too.

[@lukewilson5890]

errrrrghh sports palace. sooo funny but at the same time poor adam. much love !

[@themysteriouscow]

Ive never seen him look and speak so seriously!!!

[@killanotterinasecond]

They make the general knowledge questions so easy for celebrities :-/

[@PrivateAckbar]

Sport Palace.

[@Widmerpool99]

It's a very cool and confident performance but let's be frank, the questions are piss-easy.

[@alfamonk]

if you know the fecking answers, sure

[@MrMmnngghh]

you must be a genius or sutin

[@Codex7777]

Yep, they always dumb down the questions for the celebrity versions of quiz shows...

[@lukerogers151]

DIS GUY IS A GENIUS OR SUTIN

[@irish66]

Because it's for charity.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

I wish he would do more programmes talking the piss out of peoples' comments on KZbin, or sutin.

[@TheGreatRetardo1]

A-wuzza-wuz

[@ReegusReever]

2:53 For a second there I thought Buxton was teeing up his answer, then I quickly realised that was actually his answer. 😂

[@Njal55]

A-warzararz. Adam should have strutted across the stage like country man.

[@andalltheangelssay212]

Just for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/fICnp52PpLt4n5o

[@TheSkootenbeeten]

Well done Adam. Impressive

[@JosephR90]

Why is Adam Buxton dressed as an extra from Porridge? :P

[@mairimillar8866]

Haha, well observed.

[@Tamarlane389]

My questions would be: ‘where is my wife?’ and ‘are you my wife?’

[@flanplan5903]

Yeah this game show comes off as a very creepy dystopian take on a game show. It almost feels as if you are being held hostage against your own will (fun fact: the show’s format and style were based on the creator’s experiences as a POW being interrogated by the Gestapo in World War 2. Gulp).

[@nia.j.h]

sport palace! I was so hoping to see the absolute tool he said he made of himself when he was talking about this on his show with Edith Bowman, but they obviously thought to cut around the bit where he played his crotch like a pair of bongo drums. very sad indeed.

[@GreyHulk2156]

The answer to all of these questions should have been 'Cobbler Bob'. :)

[@brianmoy7443]

It’s a venue from another planet, Sport Palace! (To the Sport Billy theme)

[@mitzloo1933]

What a lovely brain.

[@bartonseagrave9605]

These questions were so easy I believe an American College Student could answer them.

[@markfox3307]

No wonder he got the 'Starman' question wrong! Released in July '72? Two months before the album? It came out in April. The album came out in June. Why do they employ ignorant fools to write their questions?

[@RB747domme]

Mark Fox yes, but it depends what country you live in. It was released at different times in the UK and the USA.

[@mmmcomfy]

Exactly (why on earth would they be referring to anything but the UK release?). He wuz robbed.

[@radiothax]

You're not allowed to interrupt the questions on mastermind.

[@ice9tom]

Love you Adam

[@mcsuibhne005]

Very easy Bowie questions to be fair.

[@leonconnelly5303]

oh my god these questions are so easy

[@aphrek]

love you Adam!

[@drinkwater319]

Hammersmith Palais was where the lesser known bands played

[@patricklynch9048]

way to go buckles!

[@mattmiller1112]

I was waiting for this

[@outsidespac3]

What on earth is the English language expatriate press? I know what all of those words mean individually but...

[@13strong]

Check out the upcoming Wes Anderson movie "The French Dispatch". I think it's basically about that.

[@maireaddavis3694]

Well done. 😊

[@michaeljenkins7024]

I was into Bowie in my teens, but I've never read a book about him or really anything about him over the last couple of decades and have barely listened to the music much since. Those questions were still piss. I got one less that Adam. I suspect like most people who go on this show Adam must have been delighted not to embarrass himself, but he was probably also a little peeved that the questions didn't test the knowledge of much more than a casual Bowie fan. I bet he boned up on Bowie for at least a couple of days if not weeks before this.

[@cccarys]

Pretty sure they make it easy for the celebrities because they’re obviously all going to donate anyway

[@Nacnud191]

Doubt Adam Buxton did much boning up. He’s a genuine Bowie aficionado 👍

[@michaeljenkins7024]

@@Nacnud191 I know. But I bet he boned up all the same, because (a) nobody likes embarrassing themselves on the telly, and (b) he likes reading about/listening to/watching Bowie anyway!

[@pineapplepenumbra]

I only got 3 right, so I was impressed.

[@CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

Hammersmith Palais??? Shocking. That gig was central to the DA Pennebaker movie

[@amandakenneally8475]

He knew it, I *KNOW* he knew it. Think he just had a big ol' brain panic and the neurons went on the fritz for a split second.

[@Czechbound]

Has anything ever bettered Adam and Joe Go Tokyo

[@maxwellhiggs]

Unremarkable. Except, well you know.

[@Mumscup]

Love dr buckles.

[@charliehungerford]

Well done to Neal Pearson for choosing a specialised subject that isn't just pop culture. Adam's great and all that, as is Bowie, but how's about choosing the life and works of David Hume, or Thomas Aquinas, or the rise and fall of the Mughal Empire. He wouldn't even have to know about it, he would just be ballsy for choosing it.

[@euph0xx]

Wow special interests rock

[@jonwplo]

how do you fake this?

[@RayzaNC]

I'm surprised anyone doesn't know Henman & Murray are tennis players even if you have no interest in it

[@TheHewhodareswins]

To be fair to the ever scrawnier Humphries, it must be very difficult to laugh and pretend that these "celebrities" are funny. Ninety percent of these people I've never heard of.

[@jockmackay9582]

How do you get 90% from four people?

[@SuperFerdie1965]

@@jockmackay9582 Ninety percent of the "celebrities" that go on the programme, not just these four. Duh 😂😂

"these people" is what you said. 90% of these people. Not 90% of the people that go on the show. You can "duh" yourself

[@SuperFerdie1965]
