I'm a Harry and Paul fan and love their sketches about other BBC TV shows like the one about panel shows and northern relief night but this sketch was a bit of a miss.
I have read the Harry Potter books twice and watched all of the films multiple times and been to Harry Potter world twice but I still think it has too many fans.

Stefan Travis Personally attacked by a sketch about mastermind? You sound more ‘offended’ by needing to comment pompously about the people you disagree with over a sketch
So let me get this right... If we're sitting down in a pub together and you don't laugh at a god awful joke I tell, it means with 100% certainty the reason you didn't laugh was because you were offended by it. OK man.

That was 40+ years ago, right ?
Oh god, Mastermind is just like this! So called 'specialist subject' and knowing f*ck all! 🤣🤣🤣
