Malcolm Edwards

A retired bank official from Leeds who appeared on Mastermind in 1993 and reached the semi-finals. Perhaps due to nerves, he crashed into the black chair as he was about to take his seat for the first round and knocked it over! 'You're the first silly bugger in the history of the programme who's managed to do that!" grinned Magnus Magnusson. He was also the last - to prevent recurrences of this accident the chair was subsequently bolted to the floor of the set.
