The final of Mastermind on takes place on BBC 2 on Monday, April 11 and there's a Welsh contestant competing who hasn't dropped a wrong answer on his specialist subjects during his last two appearances on the show. Pontypool quiz-lover Anthony Fish will be competing against five other contestants for the coveted TV quiz title.
In his previous rounds, Anthony,43, who is a community safety officer, previously scored the perfect round, getting all his answers correct for both his semi-final heats on 20th-Century Heavyweight Boxing Championship Fights and Hitchcock Films of the 1950s. And during the show, Mastermind host Clive Myrie described his semi-final score as a “colossal 14”.
His final specialist subject will be the British sitcom Open All Hours, which starred Ronnie Barker and David Jason and ran for 12 years from 1973, so he had a lot of revision to do ahead of the nerve-wracking final. Anthony, who's part of the Welsh team, Tim Gyda I on the Online Quiz League, will sit down and watch the pre-recorded final along with wife Emma and their 11-year-old twins Harry and Thomas. During the recording, he received a wonderful surprise from the Mastermind team - a letter of good luck from David Jason himself.
