Mastermind BBC Disastermind TV Hell 1992.

A Clip from a section of the all night "TV Hell" that ran back in the summer of 1992. This features the "worst" of Mastermind with nice post mortems from the people involved back in the 1970's.
Best gag is a teacher who has the lowest score ever and whenever he would ask a kid in school a question they would respond with "pass"...brilliant!

[@zighnvernon7349]

It takes guts to be on there. They are all winners.

[@glasgowrealnews7729]

Was my chemistry teacher. A legend. The best

[@ciarangallaghercg]

RIP Mr McBrearty

[@Etcher]

In 1981 no body died, in 1982 nobody died, in 1983 nobody died, In 1984 no body died, in 1985 *someone* died, in 1986 nobody died, in 1987 nobody died, in 1988 nobody died, I mean I could go on....

[@good_old_80s_90s]

I used to watch this series very often in the 80,s,it was an absolute classic. I loved the title music,the famous "I,ve started,so i,ll finish" catchphrase + that comfy looking black chair. :-D

[@Meckiffe1976]

That's sad to hear. Given the number of comments here he must have been a well-loved teacher.

[@Mike--Oxmall]

God damn that girl talks fast.

[@Lukozer]

The bloke comparing the experience to a KGB interrogation isn't a million miles from the truth. The man who devised Mastermind based it on his own experiences when captured and interrogated by the Gestapo during World War II

[@AshtonArcher]

'Lowest living Mastermind scorer' - compared to some of the dense contestants (and their subjects) in the current editions he is a proper mastermind!

[@thehotyounggrandpas8207]

Sitting at home with a bad case of the flu this video made me feel a bit better!

[@stephengriffin9992]

This brings to mind the old joke: Magnus (to Paddy McGinty) “What city is the Empire State Building in?” Answer “pass”. Magnus: “Where is the Mona Lisa on display?” P. McGinty: “pass”. To which a member of the audience pipes up: “that’s it Paddy tell him nothing!”

[@peacefrog1916]

go on Big Tam.

[@DomSCOTLANDD]

YASS MR MCB what a legend :D

[@brianjones3733]

This programmed was supposed to be intimidating. Surviving the atmosphere was part of the test.

[@ianh1984]

I've been watching more current episodes and a lot of people score 12 or lower. What's happened?!

[@ericforsyth]

Longer and/or tougher questions and/or weaker contestants

[@Bazonthebass]

Poor Susan. The pretty Edwardian looking ghostly girl.

[@TheMarvelhero123]

In case anyone is watching this again, Mr Mcbearty died this morning Rest in peace

[@TheMarvelhero123]

McBrearty *

[@lmjones7716]

He passed on. RIP.

[@angelabrown6103]

Aww what a shame. He was a great teacher. He made chemistry my best and favourite subject.

[@peterwhalpin]

2:15, haha!! "a heavy, solid knob"! How many excuses did that woman make for being rubbish?!

[@DarrenBonJovi]

Poor old Arfor Wyn Jones

[@lawrence.porter]

I remember him but he was never one of my teachers.

[@Cuppycakeyummey]

This vid should go on at assembly :D

[@176DanielM]

Mr McBREARTY!

[@G0RM4N94]

Couldnt stop laughn after seein McBs tache SoOoOo funny!!!!

[@Melantha17]

It must be difficult enough for the contestants on "University Challenge" or that old series "Top of the Form" to come up with the answers -- given that almost all of them are unused to bright lights and being on national television -- let alone a show like "Mastermind", where the lighting resembles that of a room in a prisoner-of-war interrogation*! I tend to be charitable towards guests who give moronic answers on gameshows (although I will say that those on "The Newlywed Game" did tend to be ESPECIALLY lacking in brilliance -- I remember one rerun that I saw at age 14 in which not ONE of all eight of them knew what the prefix "pseudo" meant!) -- "there but for the grace of God go I" under such nervewracking circumstances, I tend to think -- particularly when one is unused to them. (Lights, cameras, and the knowledge that the entire nation is watching can turn many folks into babbling imbeciles.) *Well, like the ones in the movies, at least -- it has been my good fortune to have never been a prisoner-of-war: and, given my sex, the contingency is a highly remote one -- so I certainly can't speak from experience (and I doubt that these things are usually filmed: the recollections of the soldiers would be almost the only thing one would have to go on...).

[@markgreet3543]

General knowledge round is such a lot of subjects you are bound to get quite a few wrong

[@glenpovey1297]

Mastermind is worth watching as a test of people's memory but memory is just a component of intelligence as a whole, so I do think that the programme title is misleading.

[@ciarand67]

THE MCBREARTINATOR...

[@katerush]

love mastermind if i get 2 or more right in the general knowledge round i feel quite smart. Plus sometimes this score is a good indication of how my week is going to go. Based on the concept that if your going to have a shit week, then everything you do or touch, usually turns out shit. So the higher the score ....for this reason i like celebrity mastermind, their questions are usually easier, and i usually aim for about 4 right to have a good week.

[@bobbydylanio]

he doesnt hold the record anymore. some guy got 5 recently

[@markgreet3543]

I can learn could never pass exams had a mental blockage on the day yet I've good general knowledge on a few subjects I think you can be articulate and bright even if you don't do well at school sadly some disagree but it's like being on a show like people get nervous and fail at mastermind people are the same with exams it's sad we are not fools it's just how a mind works

[@edmund184]

Hmmmm..Susan Reynolds. A Real Lady. I wonder if she's as dishy now as she was then?

[@ComposerInUK]

How did it go...? Or aren't you allowed to say anything yet?

[@CaptMWI]

yass mr McBrearty

[@jesoby]

Could do without the running commentary

[@CatherineInRock]

@vanderbilt887 I second that request! Would LOVE to see that.

[@liamm88x]

HOWWWWWW WEE MAN

[@flares]

I'm not sure what it is but there's something about the woman in the long white dress that I quite like. Maybe it's because she seemed so timid I just felt like putting my arm round her and saying don't worry, you won't faint.

[@Danny1998CFC]

@MrScottishnoob he is a legend

[@RossMartin2294]

mr mcbearty at 2:30 LMAFO

[@gerardpickeringjr2624]

so funny

[@mountainbloke40]

Poor buggers -- this is so painful - funny though, never thought they'd be nervous as they wanna be there - Glaswegian commentary was piss funny...id choose scottish Munroe's for specialist subject - might get half a dozen right..

[@markgreet3543]

Open uni degrees are good 👍

[@bobbydylanio]

You were on mastermind??? Can I have your autograph and some money please??

[@rainbowsalads]

[@77Fortran]

cmon, people can't help their background

[@Widmerpool99]

This is just an excuse to show footage of strange people from the 70s.

[@Murphy4709]

that womans accent is disgustingly imperial

[@onuraktepe]

İngilizce bilmioruz ama heralde iyi bir şey konuşuyorlar.

[@edmund184]

1:25 When was the last time you saw a woman dressed like this- I mean, actually like a woman.

[@grahamhaspassedaway4580]

+edmund184 That's not dressing like a woman, that's dressing like a ghost!

[@edmund184]

[@greigism]

[@kaitlinbilous4605]

Connecting to 1. All right FAB-U-LOUS

[@CarpMagic95]

lol yes he has been beaten by recently by a bloke who got 5 points LOL.... He didnt know anything !! He looked so stupid. The guy asking the questions asked, "Which insects got their name from the ancient superstition that they crawl into the ears of sleeping people?" The coloured guy answered "ANTS" lol even i knew it was ear wigs and i havent even had a good education.

[@MindMagician]

Just to let you know, he WASN'T the lowest scorer. A man called Robin, married to a dominating woman called Heather, who owned a guest farmhouse in the Lake District, went on there a few months after we'd spent a fortnight with them on holiday and he scored ZERO POINTS!!!

[@BritishFoodGuide]

oh no it's a comfortable chair and a freindly person! and whats with all these people i never saw them on the show before! goodness me if only there was a rehearsal! how do you get on these shows. 'im incredibly boring and white'. great your on!
