 | Robert Miller Can I please have UK television gameshows? |
 | Andy SC I would like to enter and would I be able to have Formula One please |
 | Phyl Styles Robert, that is an absolutely huge subject spanning decades; I don't think you would be wise to attempt something as broad as that; Andy, I think you might also want to narrow it down somewhat, as I think it's older than I am |
| Robert Miller UK quiz shows in the 21st century, is that better? |
| Phyl Styles Definitely! |
 | Matty Artell Can I join with Breaking Bad, please? :) |
 | Zarte Siempre Am I allowed to go for Robot Wars again on the basis that I don't know what else I know that much about...? If not, I'll think of something else. |
| Phyl Styles Oh, go on then, seeing it's you |
| |
| Robert Miller Zarte, you stole my second thought! |
| Robert Miller I love Robot Wars! |
| Phyl Styles Keep it in mind then, Robert, as long as there is no sharing of information; everyone has to keep the GK questions confidential and it is in their interests to do so. |
| |
 | Jack Worsley How does "Barclays Premier League (English football) 2005 - present" sound? |
| Phyl Styles Potentially big topic, but you guys do seem to know a huge amount, so fine with me |
 | Chris Butler Would it be possible for me to do Alan Partridge?? |
| Phyl Styles Fine by me |

Notes from the organizer: To take part in this tourney, you need to choose a specialist subject, anything from Game of Thrones to Shakespeare, sport, TV series, etc. etc and then answer 20 questions in private chat, with spectators if you wish, preceded by 20 general knowledge questions which will be the same for everyone. Entrants will be put in groups of 4 and the highest scorer in each group will go through, with some higher scoring losers also qualifying. After that it will be a knock-out, and contestants will have to choose a different second and third specialist subject for succeeding rounds.
