Mastermind, a BBC classic, is returning to television. But is it as tough as it used to be? Try our quiz at the bottom of this page.
Long-time fans of Mastermind, which returns to network after a six year break, will be relieved to find the programme not much altered.
STORY OF MASTERMIND
Cabbie Fred Housego (above) became a household name after winning in 1980
Highest ever score was 41, by Kevin Ashman in 1995
Lowest ever score was 12, by Arfor Wyn Hughes in 1990
The first question ever on Mastermind was: in what year did the event which inspired Picasso's Guernica take place?
The programme was devised by former PoW Bill Wright, who modelled it on giving name, rank and number
Researchers who asked Liszt Society for help setting specialist questions were reputedly referred to the contestant
There is a new host - Radio 4's John Humphrys - but there is still a black chair, there are still dozens of questions, and there is still the phrase "I've started so I'll finish", which survives despite Humphrys trying to kill it off.
"I'm not a catchphrase kind of person," he told BBC News Online. "I'm not Bruce Forsyth with his nice-to-see-you-to-see-you-nice. That's not quite me."
But the famous phrase lives on. "I wanted to drop it, but there was 'shock, horror' at that. You can't mess about with it. So it has stayed, but I don't do it all the time.
"The reason it's a catchphrase is not because someone sat down and thought 'What catchphrase shall we have?' It's because that's what you would say if you were halfway through a question and the beeper went on the poor sod sweating in the chair."
Other suggestions the Today programme presenter made were also turned down, he says.
"I had all sorts of ideas for changing it. They were all rejected. For instance, I wanted to allow them to interrupt the question if they knew the answer, but that would have short changed the audience.
"What I soon realised was that I was dealing with an institution - there are even Mastermind societies."
Among this year's specialist subjects are The Simpsons and the music of The Smiths, leading some to accuse the contest of dumbing down.
But Humphrys rejects suggestions that it is getting easier. "This is one programme which very definitely hasn't dumbed down," he says.
"And I know that because I couldn't answer half the questions - I couldn't even answer 2% of them."
To help viewers put that to the test, we have assembled a quiz of former taxi driver Fred Housego's winning general knowledge round from the 1980 final.
A few questions based on that year's events have been left out. And you have the immense advantage of multiple choice. But as a bit of fun, take the quiz to see how you measure up against Housego's winning score.
