Codex
CODEX is back – but this time two teams will compete every week to win the series!
Are you interested in history? Are you brave enough to spend the night in a Museum? Can you make up a team?
We're looking for 3 people who work together or have shared knowledge to make up a team. It could be friends, relatives or colleagues. Maybe you're brewers or traders, artists or engineers, students or sailors, potters or politicians … we're open to ideas!
Teams will compete in a series of quiz rounds, based around some of the most famous historical artefacts in the British Museum.
Contact us now! Email: codex@diverse.tv
Or call: 0207 855 7463.
Salary-based Quiz
Would you like to be on TV and win a year's salary in just one day?
We're looking for contestants for a brand new BIG money quiz show. Can YOU tell how much money someone makes just from their appearance? Can someone tell how much money YOU make just by the way you answer specific questions?
If you have a job and want the chance to win thousands of pounds – and even the chance to win as much as a year's salary – we're looking for you now!
All you need is to be over 18 and have a full time job
Interested? Call us now on: 0844 4480 022 or email: quiz@twofour.co.uk
That's What I Call Television
A new Saturday night prime-time show for ITV1.
Do you remember when Game For A Laugh ruled Saturday nights; Emmerdale Farm was on in the afternoons; competitors battled it out across the assault course on The Krypton Factor; Big Daddy wrestled Giant Haystacks on World Of Sport and you watched No. 73 on a Saturday morning in your pyjamas?
Fern Britton is presenting a number of primetime entertainment specials to be screened on ITV1 later this year, and she'll be joined by a different star host as they remember and celebrate with affection and humour the golden era of TV from 1979-1989.
That's What I Call Television will wallow in 80s nostalgia and take an affectionate look at the top TV shows and adverts of the time. Favourite shows will be brought back to life and there‘ll be plenty of reunions, surprises and celebrity guests!
And now you can get involved! Did you, or someone you know, appear on any iconic shows when you were younger? Did you ever act on Impulse or dance along with the Shake-N-Vac woman? Or did you just love to sing-a-long to TV theme tunes? What ever your memories, we'd love to hear from you.
