A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. Foreword by Bamber Gascoigne. 'It's only a bloody game!'. Thus Magnus Magnusson's words of reassurance at the start of every 'Mastermind' programme, in an attempt to cheer up the nervous contestants as they awaited the ordeal of the Black Chair. But Mastermind, of course, was more than a game: it was a national institution, a must for millions of viewers for 25 years, and when the BBC announced that it was coming to an end it made front page news. In this fascinating and revealing book the Interrogator himself, Magnus Magnusson, tells the behind-the-scenes story of a television programme which made broadcasting history, drawing on the memories and records of the Mastermind Club - an exclusive haven for the survivors of the Black Chair. 24.
