If I was to appear on Mastermind my specialist subject would possibly be;

Avoidance tactics.
Culinary frugality.
Wines I have known, loved but not remembered.

What would yours be?

Having watched it so many times, Dds and I have often said it would be Who Said What To Whom And When, in the BBC TV Pride and Prejudice. ?

Me too Witzend - I loved that programme and I loved Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. I even wrote to him and months later got a signed photo and a little note back.

My daughters and I often say to one another "And your family, they are well?" or "I will conquer this!"

And to think my daughter had to pursued me to watch it.

We say, ‘This is all extremely vexing!’ (Lady C)

and ‘I have not the pleasure of understanding you,’ (Mr B)

Not to mention ‘The most horrid, disobliging…’. (Mrs B).

Etc. etc.!

The Victorian era. It may sound dull but it isn’t!

Things that make someone with a Banana skin humour laugh.
People tripping up including me.
Seagull poo on someone's shoulder.
Dogs jumping at people and licking them,
Not finding films funny that other people do, like Norman Wisdom but finding Monty Python extremely funny.
Giggling at others' misfortune like stepping in Cow muck, DH is attracted like a magnet.

If it had to be a film, either "Jewel in the Crown" or "Gone with the wind".

Your sense of humour is rather like mine, Yammy! Candid Camera type stuff from years ago.

The achievements of Boris Johnson as PM. Not much to cover!

Procrastination.
Lounging about on chairs.
Knitting.
Peppa Pig.
I'd like two rounds on general knowledge.

Dannirae, I had to persuade dd2 to watch it with me - she thought it’d be boring, but of course was very soon hooked.

That first Christmas after it was on TV, dh bought me the box set (videos then) and the whole lot of us, inc. dh, watched the entire thing that Christmas evening/night.

I’m thinking of putting it on for Gdd (7) next time she comes - which is soon - I think she’s of an age to enjoy it now - funnily enough she used to love the Kate Beckinsale Emma when she was much younger. And it’s certainly preferable to all the trash she likes watching on Netflix!

Mine would be a geography round - the weird and wonderful places the tops to my 'tupperware' boxes have got to.
