What would your Specialist Subject be...

Bridge

Genesis- The Steve Hackett years

60s pop music

Growing vegetables.

The life and music of Eric Clapton.

Ooh yes - Steinbeck. A couple of years ago we did a Steinbeck tour - Salinas, Monterey, and all round there. Before that we did a bit of a Robert Louis Stevenson pilgrimage - area near Sacramento where he went, as described in his book "Silverado".

My specialist subject would be Germany at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

I think it must be Modern Architecture, 60s-present day.
And then Steinbeck (as long as it's restricted to Grapes of Wrath)

I could probably also do The Changes In Television Lighting 1962-1998 , a subject much talked about by my DH - who was a TV lighting director ....

Saying that, in our local pub quiz whenever a Beatles question came up the Quizmaster would say 'Here's one for Kate' and I often got it wrong! Not as knowledgeable as I think I am.

The Beatles.

we were discussing this the other day when I said I had seen all the James Bond films so many times I could answer questions on Mastermind. I was being ironic.

However if I were choose something I know a bit about but could cram for it would be the life of Charles the Second and for my semi final(!) it would be Rachmaninov.

The life and times of me.

The evolution of Godzilla in films since 1954.
My DGS lectured me on this endlessly until he started investigating the development and use of tanks in warfare since. . .
The life and works of Émile Zola -I know quite a lot, but I’d need to do some serious cramming!

The Life and Times of Queen Victoria

Dds and I often said in the past that if we were ever on Mastermind, our Special Subject would be Who Said What To Whom And When, in the BBC Pride and Prejudice series!
(Not that we watched it a million times or anything.....)

Other than that, Anthony Trollope’s Palliser series, and maybe the Barchester novels, too.

Art history

Procrastination

Egyptian archaeology.
