Alan Carr is looking for Edinburgh contestants for new TV game shows, here's how to apply

Alan Carr is hosting a series of specials of the UK's favourite game shows, and he's looking for contestants from Edinburgh to take part.

The "Chatty Man" is reviving classics like Bullseye, The Price is Right and Take Your Pick in his new "epic game show" series.

Each game will be "supersized and reinvigorated" to bring them up to date for 2019.

Carr said: "It is such a privilege for me to be involved in these truly iconic shows that have brought so much joy to my childhood. A little bit of nostalgia but a whole load of fun.

"Big shoes to fill I know, but these shows should be back on telly for a whole new generation to sit down and enjoy with their family just like I did all those years ago!"

Producers TalkBack are looking for the following types of people:

  • Lively solo players to face-off against the gong on TAKE YOUR PICK
  • Groups of 10 or to ‘come on down’ for a game of THE PRICE IS RIGHT
  • Amateur darts players and their quiz master friends to hit the BULLSEYE
  • Loved up and bickering couples who could win big if they PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT
  • Friends, family, partners, and co-workers who can avoid the Hotspots and STRIKE IT LUCKY

The shows will be broadcast on ITV, and will be filmed in Manchester across July and August.

The closing date for applications is Friday, August 9, and contestants must fill in this application to take part.
