The company is looking to cast a diverse range of people throughout the whole of the UK. Anyone can apply as long as they are aged 18 or over and are a resident of the UK (including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man).
“As well as regular quizzers, we also want to encourage people who might not usually apply for quiz shows to get involved,” said the spokesperson.
You can apply online here or email [email protected].

“The audition will only take 15-20 minutes and is very relaxed and fun!” said the spokesperon.
Applications close on May 9 2025 but people are encouraged you to apply as soon as possible as casting is currently underway.
