David Lammy on Celebrity Mastermind
I got 7 right on his specialised subject of "Mohammed Ali" and 14 right on his general knowledge questions, making a total of 21 points. Not enough to win the competition that week but 8 more than a man who chose his specialist subject and is this country's Higher Eduction Minister.
Do watch the video for yourself and revel in the ignorance of this Minister of the Crown. Also enjoy remembering David Blunkett's even poorer performance some years earlier, if only that piece of video could be found.
Thanks to Iain Dale for the video spot, which has allowed to me to post this story.

We cannot tell who can lead to us..but even he didn't perfect the question he did his best and answer the question great.
Back in 2003, David Blunkett, the then New Labour Home Secretary and former Education Secretary, only managed to score 2 out of 13 on the General Knowledge round of Celebrity Mastermind, one of the lowest scores in the history of the program.
Blunkett's Questions and Answers:
David "Mastermind" Blunkett - an "intellectual pygmy" ?
Why do these politicians delude themselves so ?
