Hat Trick / Hindsight Productions are currently casting contestants for the next series of the BBC Two quiz show – Mastermind.
Do you think you have what it takes to sit in the famous black chair?
Know enough about your specialist subject to be forensically tested?
How’s your general knowledge? Are you a pub quiz whizz?
Many start – but only one will finish… Will it be you?
What type of people are they looking for?
The production company say they are looking to cast a diverse range of people throughout the whole of the UK. Anyone can apply as long they are aged 18 or over and are a resident of UK (including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man).
You will obviously need some General Knowledge, but they say they’re really interested in your three specialist subjects – the wider the range the better.
As well as regular quizzers, they also want to encourage people who might not usually apply for a quiz shows to get involved.
How to apply
It’s really easy to apply, just email [email protected] for a link to their online application form.
How do you get on the show?
After you have submitted your application, one of the casting team may get in touch to organise a Skype audition with you. They will do a short general knowledge quiz and learn more about why you’ve chosen your Specialist Subjects.
The audition will only take 15-20 minutes and they say it will be “very relaxed and really good fun.”
Auditions are currently underway, with the heats filming this Summer.
If you get through let us know at this newspaper so we can follow your journey!
Applications close on Monday 24th May 2021 at midnight. For more information click here.
