So, I just got through the season premiere of Mastermind, here are a few of my takeaways
John Humphrys is as sharp a question reader as ever, though sometimes the questions were too verbose for their own good.
I like the new graphics this year, minimalist, but a bit more dramatic
A new wrinkle, the border surrounding the scoreboard on screen begins to turn blue when ten seconds remain in the round. This is good (since apparently it's some kind of sin for BBC to put, oh I don't know, A CLOCK on the screen...seriously it's 2016 is that too much to ask?). What isn't good is hearing an underscore version of "Approaching Menace" during those last ten seconds, which nearly drowned out John near the end.
All in all, It's Mastermind, and I like it.
