I failed at two of them, so got 10 out of 12.

To be fair, I'd've got 11, given a little more to think.

The other one though; no chance I'd've got it.

Your first question is - which of these contestants do you think is the one who has chosen New Order at their specialist subject? Big Grin

OK, I've had an app dictate the questions, so forgive me if some of them are slightly wonky:


1) With the addition soon afterwards of the keyboard player, Gillian Gilbert, New Order was formed by Stephen Morris, Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner, the surviving members of which band?

2) The track 'Temptation' referred to the subject having green eyes, blue eyes and eyes of what other colour?

3) What’s the name of the fictional band who appear in the video for the 2001 single 'Crystal' which inspired the name of a real group?

4) What’s the title of the New Order 2020 single which was the first brand-new music released by the band since the 2015 album 'Music Complete'?

5) A version of the band's track 'Vanishing Point' was used as the theme tune to which BBC television drama series broadcast from 1989 to 1991?

6) The group is said to have lost money on the best selling 12 inch single, 'Blue Monday', because of the expense of producing the record sleeve which was created by which designer?

7) Which Scottish producer and DJ‘s version of 'Age of Consent' is featured on the band's 1995 remix album '? (the rest of) New Order'?

8) The cover of which of the band's singles features a photograph of a Tahitian woman bathing by the American photo-journalist Elliot Elisofon?

9) What’s the name of the drummer with the band 'The Swans' who produced the aptly named 'The B-Side' which featured on the b-side of the EnglandNewOrder number one single, 'World in Motion'?

10) "Once in a while I need a friend, so why won’t you let me recover?" is the opening lines of what 1993 single, taken from the chart-topping album, 'Republic'?

11) In 1988, New Order won a Brit Award for the video 'True Faith', which had been made by which French director and choreographer?

12) Which American singer received a writing credit for the track 'Run' after his publishing company filed a lawsuit alleging its similarity to one of his tracks?




As mentioned, I got ten correct. I probably could've got 7), given more time.
I'd've never got 9). Still can't remember the answer now and I've watched the clip 3-4 times.

I only would have missed #7. Oddly, I don't mind that remix.

Mastermind Q's 7,9 & 11 shouldn't have been allowed haha. I wouldn't have been happy if I'd gone on MM and missed those.

More interesting would be:

1) Where did they play their first gig?
2) What does/did Stephen Morris collect?
3) What did Uncle Bernard wear while recording BM at Britannia Row?

Just watched it. Agree on 9. That's hardly a NO question at all!
Because I refused to buy WIM in 1990 (was in Ireland and Ireland were playing in their first ever world cup. Was NOT going into a record shop to ask for the England song), I don't believe I ever even heard The B-Side. Did buy the 2002 reissue but "the B-Side" wasn't even on that. Just listened now. Am honestly not sure if I've ever listened to that before!

Also the True Faith question. Yeah the video director has been mentioned on here before, but I couldn't remember his name. Another rather tangential question, I think.

So 10 out of 12 for me. Olivia beat me. Olivia beat everyone.
Howie B was easy though. I believe I saw him live at the Royal Festival Hall back in 2014. I think he was supporting Trentmoller as part of the UNKLE curated Meltdown Festival.

Incidentally the previous time we had New Order as a Mastermind subject, it was for the celebrity version with Dom from Dick & Dom in the hot seat. We discussed it on this very thread. You can jump back to page 8, or click this.

Would have missed 7 and 9 but also 5, I guess the show was only broadcast in the UK.
