I think all the celebrities are well known, if you look online the history of the show has a good level. Of course ITV often have clauses in their contracts preventing their stars coming on, as they want them on their quiz shows like Mr and Mrs, The Chase etc.
Tonight isn't all BBC. John Humphrys asks the questions as four famous faces brave the black chair. Mitch Benn answers questions on Peter Cook, BBC News presenter Reeta Chakrabarti on the life and poetry of John Keats, one half of Sam and Mark, Mark Rhodes, on the World Wrestling Federation and double Olympic triathlon gold medallist Alistair Brownlee on the Yorkshire Dales. |

Mitch Benn is a musician first, though works occasionally on Radio 4 hardly BBC. Brownlee is sport, other two more associated with BBC.

I don't think he'd be on the programme unless people knew him from his work on the Now Show, so he's there by BBC association.
Well, it is Christmas ![]() He is imho a musician first. |

![]() I was rather confused in your answer and why you jumped to Graeme Swann and Paul Carrack? Seemed random. |

So your prior answer was " so he's there by BBC association" we are discussing Mitch Benn, ( well I was);- I respond, " That could be an argument for every celebrity" - that Mitch or anyone could be called BBC by association, if they appear on a BBC show. I was in my mind continuing to consider Mitch, and Mitch is known as a musician first. Now you " jump" to Graeme Swann and Paul Carrack, who I never mentioned in that conversation and seems very random to me. But if I run with that out of context answer/ conjecture, Graeme Swann and Paul Carrack are famous in their own right, but if they appeared on a show, you seem to think they were BBC by association, but imho they are not.
I was rather confused in your answer and why you jumped to Graeme Swann and Paul Carrack? Seemed random. I'm arguing the only reason he's on the programme is because he was on a BBC show, and that his fame outside the world of the BBC would not be enough to earn him his place. If Swann and Carrack did appear on a BBC show, they wouldn't be on Celeb Mastermind because of that show, they'd be on it because they are both very successful in their fields outside of the BBC. |

Just saw a recording of last nights show!!....I am astonished that ANYONE could be as thick as that woman on there (sorry, no idea who she is or why on earth she's "supposed" to be a celebrity). It beggars all belief that someone in this day and age is as stupid as she is and whats worse is that she seemed to think it was funny!..No my dear, it wasn't and you should be totally ashamed and embarassed.

It would be correct for a Rugby question
I have found the standard in Pointless and Celeb pointless to be the same. |

I highlighted part of the post that I was replying to, I was commenting on each programme standing on its own with a winner unlike University Challenge where there is one overall winner. Though using the four highest scorer does seem unfair, the ones with highest scores have been up against another team that got a very low score so were able to get almost every starter. The two last night were well matched so neither had chance to get a high score.
Both would have been massacered by the winning teams on Monday and Tuesday (forgotten who they were now) They would have got less than they actually did, because the chances are they'd have been beaten to the buzzer on some of the questions they got right |

I also got all the questions correct on Mark Rhodes's WWE round. Not that they were too hard. John initially said it was WWF.

Enjoying this and University Challenge as a bit of fluff over Christmas. Got to wondering - how exactly do the charities benefit? Is it that the BBC gives money to their charity instead of paying them a fee? If so what sort of money roughly would be be talking about? Do all the contestants get a charity donation or just the winner?

Tonight's contestants are, Outnumbered actor Tyger Drew-Honey, radio presenter Tom Ravenscroft, actress Maria McErlane and writer of the Horrible History books Terry Deary. After the last episode, where I'd never heard of any of them, at least I know who 3 of tonight's contestants are. Terry's the only one I don't know but I've heard of the Horrible Histories books.
