I was sitting down with the wife the other night wondering what to watch on television. The kids were safely tucked up in bed, a nice meal consumed, it was time for some mild entertainment.
And what better than the tried and tested format of Mastermind? There were a couple of decent specialised subjects (The Godfather Trilogy and something else which I have forgotten). And you can always get a few general knowledge answers.
But there, in the grand final, the programme's crowning glory, what did I hear? A question about my favourite drink! "What do you call the Italian liqueur made up of all the old guff left over after wine-making?" asked the quiz meister. I nearly choked on my post-prandial espresso.
Ah, that it has come to this. What next - Oz Clarke and James May's Grappa Tour?

You mean you dont remember that Giovedi in the Gallery when John Humphreys turned up and at the end of the night he was asking "what do you call this stuff?" and "how is it made?" while scribbling down our answers in his notebook?
