Bolton's Clive Myrie is back - presenting a popular BBC quiz show.

Mastermind is set to return on Monday, August 12, with 96 contenders from across the UK testing their trivia skills.

The show will kick off at 7.30pm every Monday.

These 96 contenders will engage in the trivia the show is noted for, responding to questions on their chosen specialist subject.

Contenders who sail through the heats and semi-finals will square off in the Grand Final, their eyes on the sought-after Mastermind Champion title and the renowned Mastermind Glass Bowl.

Clive Myrie said: "It never ceases to amaze me how brilliant our contenders are.

"From all walks of life and from all corners of the UK, there's only one destination-the Mastermind black chair.

"Our fresh crop of specialist subjects are varied and fascinating, so buckle up for a another wonderful edition of television's toughest quiz."

In addition to Myrie, the show is brought to life by a dedicated team, including executive producers Jimmy Mulville, David Young, Kate Middleditch, and Chris Jones.

Kalpna Patel-Knight, head of entertainment at the BBC, said: "Audiences can look forward to Mastermind returning for a brand new series filled with remarkable talent and gripping competition as the latest batch of contestants test their knowledge and specialisms as they encounter the most famous chair on TV."

Mastermind is a Hindsight & Hat Trick Production for BBC Two, filmed and produced in Belfast with support from Northern Ireland Screen.
