# There was a fat man on Mastermind
answering questions on the Godfather trilogy as his specialist subject.

In the General Knowledge round, he had a question about Morrisey.

# No.
I have only seen the first film all the way through, and I thought it was pretty shite to be honest with you.

The Godfather Books (The Godfather and The Sicilian) are bloody amazing though and I had read them dozens of times before seeing the films....

# I think its the same as always though.
When you have read the books so many times, you create this world in your head. And then it becomes manifest with all of these actors that you know so well and it doesnt really fit. There was a lot of stuff that wasnt in the film that I thought were the best parts of the book. Like the whole Al Neri character. I thought he was horrifically under-developed in the film.

# fair do's
yeah i know, it's generally my feeling that if a book is adapted for screen, it's best to watch the movie before reading the book (if you haven't already, obviously)
i imagine this is especially the case here as the story is bound to be seriuosly involved and convoluted
