MND in the Mastermind spotlight
Comedian and writer Stewart Lee faced the challenge of the big black chair and a grilling from John Humphrys when he appeared on Celebrity Mastermind on Monday 4 January.
Stewart chose as his specialist subject the avant garde guitarist Derek Bailey who died from MND in 2005 and nominated the MND Association as his chosen charity.
Stewart is the co-creator of Jerry Springer The Opera and an acclaimed writer and comedian. His most recent series Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle aired earlier this year on BBC2.
