The duplicate chair was never used on air, except in the title sequence, which was recorded in London while the main chair was on the road. The next step could be a month or two away and they don’t know whether there might be some other opportunity coming their way. If you want a BBC that provides a service to everybody, or to as many people as possible – people who are invested in it, who see themselves in it whether you are black, a woman or whatever – keep the licence fee. Part 1 of the consultation covers a range of topics, including the scope of the Light Touch Regime for social and health services, the definition of a “central government authority”, and the disapplication of the new Act to clinical health services (which will instead fall under the new Provider Selection Regime). I think a lot of the criticism is grossly unfair and it is peddled by people who have an axe to grind.
When he is reporting from Bangladesh on the Rohingya people fleeing Myanmar, or from a Covid ward at the Royal London hospital, you don’t – and shouldn’t – get much of a chance to see who Myrie is (apart from a seriously good journalist). Mastermind was inspired by creator Bill Wright’s experience as a prisoner of war in the Second World War. The show, which originally aired in a late night slot amid fears it was too highbrow, has become a national institution - and is famous for its black leather chair, in which the contestant sits, and ominous theme tune, aptly titled Approaching Menace. Whereas the original series had kept talk to a minimum (asking contestants only their name, occupation and specialist subject), the new run had at first included some conversational elements with contestants, at the start of the General Knowledge round (normally about the contestant's specialist subject). 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.Prior to these, the record for the overall lowest score was five points, set on 29 January 2010 by software analyst Kajen Thuraaisingham, scoring four points for his specialist subject of the life of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. As the camera panned out it became evident that the chair itself was on a platter, slowly turning in a giant microwave oven. Learning lessons from the transition to the 2015 Regulations, the new Act will make transitional application for procurements which are “non-competitive”– for example those that are exempt because they are “in-house” contracts or “joint collaborations”.
Mastermind is back this September in a new series that marks 50 years of the nation’s sharpest minds competing in a tournament for the ultimate quizzing honour of being crowned Mastermind Champion. The earliest occurrences of the phrase that I have found explicitly refer to BBC’s Mastermind and to Magnus Magnusson. I’m a foreign correspondent, I’m all over the world, I’m winning awards everywhere … were my parents impressed?The Great North Run is a half-marathon taking place annually between Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields. He was educated at the Edinburgh Academy, where he was in the school's marching brass band, and at Jesus College, Oxford. He never took British nationality but his enthusiasm for his adopted country was recognised with his appointment as chairman of the Ancient Monuments Board for Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage.
