This second episode takes a look at the brainiest member of the game show family - the quiz show. Bradley hears the intriguing story of how Mastermind came to be created and is interrogated himself in the famous Mastermind chair by host John Humphrys. He meets Fred Housego to find out how the London cabbie became Mastermind champion in 1980 - and the first quiz show winner to become a household name.We also hear how quiz shows were hit by scandal in the late Fifties - long before Millionaire's Coughing Major - and how Who Wants To Be A Millionaire changed the course of TV history when Judith Keppel became its first million pound winner. Quiz show hosts Bamber Gascoigne and Nicholas Parsons help explain how the role has changed over the decades; and we meet some of the quiz show's most prolific contestants, who have now become the ultimate stars to beat on hit daytime series like Eggheads and The Chase. |
