Jan Ravens and Sir Alan Sugar and Lenny Bruce???!
Question: What have all three got in common? you might ask.
Well, Fiona Bruce of course.
Except that Ravens- the ONLY woman to have won `Mastermind`, mind (which is really because they never put on any women)- in her caricature of Lenny Bruce- ascribes a fondness for `soft porn` to the Jews or the Americans.
Why Sir Alan Sugar? Was he head of BBC news programming? Is he Lenny Bruce`s boss? Did he hire Lenny Bruce?
Get it right before you start raving!!!!
NB Is it true that Fiona Bruce is the highest-paid newscaster in television? That in itself says it. The eyes have it, eh wot??

It was great to see Jan Ravens win Mastermind. I love it when she "does" Fiona Bruce. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Isn't Benjamin Zephaniah a bit of a thicko though? Not knowing Picasso's first name! Not much of an "intellectual" is old Benny!
I'm sorry, what you on about?
The are almost ALWAYS women on Mastermind; but they all look like men, so you might not recognise them as such. Either that, or they are the ones wearing the floral dresses that look like they are very poor reincarnations of someone's kitchen curtains.
Can't understand the question but must correct you on the Mastermind statement. It was a Celebrity Mastermind, not the normal one and if you had watched it, that was apparent by the quality of questions asked in the general knowledge sector, which were far from difficult. In addition, it was a one off whereas the real thing has several rounds. Having said all that, she was very impressive!
