Makers of smash hit quiz show Eggheads are on the hunt for some Glasgow teams to join the new series.
Channel 5 announced that it will be the new home for the long-running hit quiz show Eggheads, as it heads into its 22nd series.
The much-loved show will continue to be fronted by broadcaster and presenter of Channel 5’s daily show, Jeremy Vine. Winners receive a cash prize.
One of Britain’s best-loved TV quizzes, the series sees amateur quizzers take on arguably the most formidable quiz team in Britain, The Eggheads - made up of some of the country's most elite quizzers in a David versus Goliath battle.
The team of challengers competes against them, across a series of hard-hitting, high-brow general knowledge question rounds, with the aim of winning a cash prize. If the Eggheads win, the prize rolls over until they can be beaten.
Host and Quizmaster Jeremy Vine said: “I can’t wait to be reunited with the mighty Eggheads and see new teams try to take them on. I’m sure fans of Eggheads will share in my delight that it has found a new home on Channel 5.”
Commissioning Editor Daniel Pearl said: “I’m delighted that Eggheads, one of the UK’s most loved quiz shows, has found a brand-new home on Channel 5. This is yet another step in the transformation of Channel 5 as it grows its audience rapidly.”
Anyone who thinks they could pit their wits against the general knowledge skills of the regular Eggheads should get involved.
Teams are made up of six people and applicants must be aged 18 or over and legally resident and currently living in the UK, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
