Only Connect, a quiz show on BBC4 for lateral thinkers, would like to hear from staff and students who want to take part in their next series.
Presented by Victoria Coren (presenter of Balderdash and Piffle, Guardian and Observer columnist and poker player extraordinaire), Only Connect is the only series where, as in life itself, knowledge will only take you so far: patience and lateral thinking are also vital.
Factual recall alone is not enough to give you the answer – it’s all about making connections between things which may appear, at first glance, not to be connected at all. It’s a challenging quiz where teams of three work together to deduce the answers.
The first series of the show premiered in September 2008, a second series aired from July 2009, and a third series (15 episodes) has been just been commissioned for transmission early in 2010.
The programme-makers are currently looking for teams of three players who share a common passion, ability or profession, to pool their combined wits to solve fiendish conundrums and vexing puzzles.
To request an application email contestants@presentable.co.uk including a telephone number. All entries must be received by no later than midnight on Tuesday 10th November 2009, so all those interested need to get their applications in as soon as possible!
If you’ve applied for a previous series but were unsuccessful you’re welcome to apply again for the new series.
Auditions will be held in regional centres throughout the UK and, if successful, expenses will be covered. All applicants must be aged 18+ and UK residents.
