Mastermind – Peterborough Cathedral Guide takes the Chair

29th January 2024

And your specialist subject?

A volunteer cathedral tour guide will sit in the famous black chair tonight when he takes part in the quiz show Mastermind.

Stephen Dodding, a long-serving guide from Peterborough Cathedral will find himself under the spotlight facing questions from quizmaster Clive Myrie who hosts the classic quiz on BBC 2.

And his specialist subject? The Medieval Cathedrals of England.

Head of Marketing at Peterborough Cathedral, Paul Stainton said:

‘A quick glance at Google Reviews and you will see that Peterborough Cathedral’s tour guides are recognised time and time again for their outstanding historical insight.

“We’re really proud to have Stephen on the show. The whole Cathedral team are behind him wishing him the very best of luck on Mastermind.’

The episode of Mastermind will air tonight, Monday 29th January at 7.30pm on BBC2.
