Mastermind

BBC2, Monday, 7.30pm

The curtain goes up on the latest series of this long-running, brain-busting quiz and it’s time to welcome another presenter, after John Humphries stepped down.

Clive Myrie, an award-winning journalist and BBC News presenter, becomes just the show’s fifth host in its 49-year history.

While there have been the inevitable questions about when a woman will fill the hallowed question master’s seat, Myrie’s started so we ought to let him finish.as for his specialist subject? The history of British jazz.
