Picking the right specialist subject is key - you need to get away with as narrow a subject as possible, so there's less to learn. I remember on one recent series some idiot picked 'British history between the two world wars' - ie 'anything that happened in Britain between 1918 and 1939'. He didn't do too well.

Following advice from Historic Scotland, however, it was accepted that the demolition of the building was no longer required in connection with the extension of the motorway and the application was withdrawn.
