Trevor Montague and Kevin Ashman Star guest chat sessions
Sunday 26th December, 9pm - 11pm GMT...

National Quiz Championship setter and winner

Kevin is a 40 year old civil servant working in the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. His quizzing pedigree is simply second to none. He is the only man to have achieved the 'treble' by becoming a Brain of Britain champion, 15 to 1 Grand Champion and Mastermind champion, during which he scored the highest ever score of 41 in the first round. Kevin was a double Gold Medallist in last years Mind Sports Olympiad and became the first ever British Quiz Champion during this years Olympiad.

Kevin is universally acknowledged to be the No 1 quiz player in Britain and his latest media quiz exploits can be watched on Christmas Day when he will take part in a special Millennium edition of 15 to 1 on Channel 4. The programme brings together 25 of the best contestants during the 11 year run of the series. Kevin has played in International media quizzes and represented the UK in the 1989 series of 'Sale of the Century' down under in Australia. Although Kevin is well versed in all areas of general knowledge his particular fields of expertise are in history, geography, cinema, sport and current affairs.

Trevor is a 45 year old accountant, writer, quiz compiler, and fitness guru. His numerous quiz show credits include victories in the Krypton Factor, Winner Takes All, Challenge of the South, Countdown,Todays the Day and 15 to 1, in which he was found to be in breach of the programme's rules and sued for the return of his Grand Final prize. Trevor is as well known in his local community of Crawley as an athlete and has twice been Crawley Sportsman of the Year and is currently training hard for a national fitness competition run by 'Zest' health magazine in which Trevor has won through to the final 12 to battle it out for a Peugeot car in Warwickshire next February.

Trevor is a former Brain of London and has just made the final of the Brain of Mensa beating his dear friend and current title holder Ray Ward in the first round. Trevor was a gold Medallist in last years Mind Sports Olympiad and organised the first ever British Quiz Championship as part of this years competition. He has co-ordinated the setting up of a National Quiz Organisation which is in its infancy but is necessary if quizzing is to become a structured mind sport in the way that chess or bridge is.

Trevor has a 1,500 page Encyclopaedia of Knowledge (published by Little, Brown and the Daily Telegraph) due out next August and it is hoped this well researched work of reference will become the standard text for settling disputes in quizzing much in the same way as Hoyle's is regarded in card games. Although Trevor has won fame and fortune for his quiz exploits he says his favourite quiz memory was last Christmas when he teamed up with the lovely Emma Noble on a spoof quiz on the "This Morning with Richard and Judy" show and was rewarded with a full kiss on the lips from Emma to the envy of many a red-blooded male.

Like Kevin, Trevor is a member of the "Mastermind Club" and through their involvement with the club they have become firm friends who not only quiz together as team mates but also captain opposing teams in the South London Quiz League and were first and second in this prestigious league in 1999 and are once again vying for supremacy this year.

Trevor and Kevin will be chatting live at http://www.msoworld.com/chat.html on Sunday 26th December between 9pm and 11pm GMT (US times: 1pm - 3pm Pacific, 4pm - 6pm Eastern). If you can't attend, we invite you to send your questions to us at chat@msoworld.com and look here after the event for a full log of the chat session.
