Brand New BBC Daytime Quiz Run-Through
The BBC’s Format Development team are looking for teams of contestants (two per team) to take part in a run-through of a brand new quiz in front of a BBC commissioner.
Where: BBC Television Centre, Wood Lane, London W12 7RJ
When: Monday 18th July 2011 – 11am – 4.30pm (approx)
This is your chance to:
- Try out our exciting new format before anybody else!
- Prove your intellectual worth by vanquishing all before you!
- See the sixth floor of TVC before they turn it into a Starbucks or something!
We’re looking for quiz fans with a decent level of general knowledge (this is for the old Pointless / Perfection slot, so think along those lines) who are bright and enthusiastic.
As this is a run-through there’s no prize - sorry. We will, however, cover reasonable travel expenses (if you’re not sure what’s “reasonable”, just ask) and provide lunch, snacks, etc. As an additional enticement, should the format go forward to series we will guarantee an audition to anybody taking part in this run.
N.B. Although the show is designed to be a competition between pairs we realise it’s not easy for two people to get time off from their work or studies for such pursuits, so we’ll also consider pairing up individuals on the day. In other words you can apply as a pair OR as an individual.
If you’re interested then please email paul.brassey@bbc.co.uk with the following information:
- Your name, age, hometown and occupation, and that of your teammate (if applicable).
- A photo of yourself and one of your teammate (if applicable) – one from facebook or similar is fine.
- Your quiz experience (televised or otherwise). We’re very happy to hear from people who’ve been on TV before, so please be honest. If you know the dates that any quiz shows you’ve appeared on were televised then please include them. Also please include any links you’re aware of to TV appearances that might be on YouTube or similar.
