Now that the quiz show Mastermind has gone from Britain’s TV screens,
nostalgics may be tempted to turn to Magnus Magnusson’s I’ve Started, So I’ll
Finish for a flavour of the series. Sadly, the book contains little more than
venues, contestants’ names, occupations, subjects and scores. Why were there so

nightmare”. Published by Little, Brown, £16.99, ISBN 0316641324.
