Well, folks, we’ve officially *arrived* . Django was one of the specialist subjects on this evening’s Mastermind ( U.K. mainstay BBC1 quiz show. Specialist subjects are usually fairly obscure). I got two questions correct… He got seven

    What were the questions? I tried looking for a replay but couldn't find anything not geocoded.

    7 is not a very high score for a contestant who's specialist subject was Django. They allow 2mins to ask questions and a high score tends to be in the 15 to 20 range. Though the questions selected can often be vague.

    What was the original title for Chez Jacquet?

    Well, if there's only 11 questions then 7/11 is pretty decent, so I retract my previous comment.

    Depending on the answers I got either 3 or 4 correct answers. 😎

    I get that quizes are somewhat esoteric. But some questions are not really important to the topic. The town where they married? The name of the hotel where they met?

    Quizzes are fun.

    Dregni writes about most of these in his books, the biography and illustrated history of GJ.
