What is the highest score ever achived on TV show "Mastermind"?

The sum total in both rounds? Anyone?

The highest Mastermind score is 41 points, set by Kevin Ashman in 1995.

The lowest score record is seven points, set by Colin Kidd in an edition broadcast in 2005. Lower scores have been attained by celebrity contestants, such as Arabella Weir and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson who both scored six points on the same show. Murray Walker also scored seven points in the same 2004 celebrity series.

Arfor Wyn Hughes, dubbed "Disastermind" by the British press, has frequently claimed (most recently on a BBC tribute to Magnus Magnusson) that his score of 12 was the lowest ever, but in fact scores of as little as nine points had been achieved several times prior to his 1990 appearance on the show.

Perhaps the most famous Mastermind winner was garrulous London taxi driver Fred Housego, who won in 1980.

In October 2006, Simon Curtis achieved the lowest ever score on the speciality subject round, scoring just 1 point. Simon was at the Semi-final stages but passed on almost every question to do with The Films of Jim Carrey.
