Clive Myrie asks the questions in `Mastermind', one of the UK's longest-running quiz shows. With its iconic ominous black chair, contestants sit and face a series of challenging questions, interrogation-style. Four contestants begin the programme, with questions based on both a specialised subject of their choice and a subject chosen at random. After two rounds, and a tiebreaker if needed, the player with the most points wins.
