Just in case there’s anyone in the UK reading this, tonight’s Mastermind (8:00pm, BBC2) features a contestant whose specialist subject is “the Sandman Graphic Novels of Neil Gaiman.”

Update: I was hopeless. Sorry Neil.

The chap did quite well though. 28 points overall is often enough to win, but he was up against someone really good.

It all went by in a bit of a blur, but I seem to remember a question to which the answer was, “Emperor of the United States” (and presumably Protector of Mexico as well, but you can’t expect John Humphrys to know everything).
