Celebrity Mastermind

Jay Rayner, the son of Claire.

We've not had this conversation, have we? I'm sitting watching Celebrity Mastermind and it came to the general knowledge minute and a half and Jay Rayner was in this chair.

And Clive Myrie said, could you tell me the name of the man who did them? And Jay Rayner went, Bernie Clifton.

So Clive Myrie just about continued.

He's a fan and he just suddenly thought, well, I know what I'll do.

I'll just blurt out the names.

I subsequently got in touch with him and I said, if I'm ever fortunate enough to be on Celebrity Mastermind, I promise I will return the

favour.

rather than what he called yesterday's model of traditional live TV and radio.

In the last few months, the BBC's announced job cuts and the cancellation of programmes, including Celebrity Mastermind and Live at the Apollo.

There's more on these stories throughout the day on Times Radio.

I'm just wondering, what do you think? Is that a good idea? Is the BBC the institution that we need it to be? That's the big question.

I mean, I know that for me, that they've just cancelled the Celebrity Mastermind, haven't they? That's to save money.

But the one that I'm really pleased with, because I felt the BBC for a long time have had a preoccupation with drag artists.

and they've just cancelled rupaul's drag show haven't they race or whatever it's called thank the lord i just

I think this is probably the first place I saw him in.

He was on Celebrity Mastermind.

Oh.

In 2013.

Journalist presenter.

She did Celebrity Mastermind, answering questions about this show.

Wow.

Wearing one of the original uniforms.

A spokesperson for the BBC said the decision was down to quote, significant financial pressures as it attempts to make 50 million pounds of savings.

Other shows being canceled include Celebrity Mastermind, Blankety Blank, and Live at the Apollo, and more than 500 job losses have also been announced.

World of Wonder announced future series of Drag Race UK, including a new All-Stars version, will be broadcast exclusively on the company's own streamer, WOW Presents Plus.

This is a sign of the times.

And when they were filming their season, which was season two, they were filming, they said in the same studio as like Little Mermaid to just put into kind of, you know, and then you're talking about flying RuPaul over and everything else and stuff like that.

And yeah, and look, this isn't the only show like Blankety Blank is gone, Celebrity Mastermind is gone.

But this was again, when we were talking about viewership earlier with South Park, this was still doing very well viewership wise, like in the millions.

which is, again, no mean feat in this very weird, precarious television landscape.

Fuck it, mate

... you won Celebrity Mastermind-

Yes, I did
