About this episode

How do you make sure each contestant is treated equally on Mastermind? Marina and Richard take us through the boredom and realities of being on a film set, and what examples if any, are there of people appearing on shows before gaining fame and then being on the celebrity version?


Another peak behind the showbiz curtain on The Rest Is Entertainment with Richard Osman and Marina Hyde.
