Why Mastermind isn’t on tonight as BBC changes schedule
As a devoted fan of Mastermind, I must admit that this week’s absence has left me feeling like a contestant stranded without their lifeline. It’s been akin to facing a question round without my trusted specialist subject – a daunting prospect indeed!
Viewers who enjoy watching Mastermind were once again let down as the BBC’s quiz program missed its scheduled airing for a second consecutive week.
This week’s scheduled event (September 9) was pushed back as well, due to last week’s postponement. In its usual time slot of 7pm on BBC Two, the network aired a highlights show – Today at the Test – for the third test cricket match between England and Sri Lanka instead.
Last Thursday (September 3), it was shared through the official social media platforms of the quiz show that they will be airing the series again starting from September 16.
Were you absent last night? The #Mastermind series is having a brief hiatus, but we’ll return on Monday, September 16th at 7:30pm on #BBCTwo with four fresh specialist subjects. Your response: “I missed it too, but I’m happy to know it’s just a short break!
Even though fans have to wait another week for the next episode, they can catch a glimpse of what the contestants will be specializing in, with topics such as the films of Martin Scorsese, American musician Phil Ochs, costume designer Edith Head, and historical figure Mary Tudor coming up.
Clive Myrie is now the new host of Mastermind, replacing John Humphrys who had been hosting it for 18 years. Myrie, who has been part of the BBC since 1987, expressed his excitement about taking on this role, calling it a “privilege.

I’m thrilled about it and can hardly wait to dive right in!
According to Kate Phillips, BBC’s Director of Entertainment, “Clive will make an excellent host; he’s quick-witted, insightful, and has a sharp sense of humor. He is a seasoned questioner who also empathizes with the anxiety that comes when one is under scrutiny in the limelight.
Mastermind returns at 7.30pm on September 16 on BBC Two.
