Timeline

The brand new quiz show "Timeline" needs teams of two!

Family favourite and funny man Brian Conley hosts SKY’s brand new prime time quiz where ‘Time is Money’. Three teams of two compete against not only each other but an ever diminishing time limit in order to bank THOUSANDS OF POUNDS!

For a taste of what's to come try and tackle our Timeline Teaser..?

Please rearrange these TV puppets into the correct order of when they first appeared on British Television:

Basil Brush...Roland Rat...Zig & Zag...Sooty...Orville The Duck

1952...1962...1982...1983...1992

Will time get on top of you? Will you muddle the minutes, manage the mayhem, mess up the miles or master the musicians?

You and your quiz partner will have to work as quickly - but accurately - as you can to piece together all kinds of marvellous yet monstrous Timelines in order to walk away with the money. Your quiz partner can be absolutely anyone you know so long as both of you are over the age of 18 years old.

We are looking for contestant pairs from the South East of England who think they have what takes to take on the Timelines and bank lots of cash.

All you have to do is email us at contestants@whizzkid.tv and you will receive an auto response with an application form attached. Fill it in and send it back to us... and we will reveal the answers to our Timeline teaser!

Good luck and hurry as places are going fast!

Only Connect

The popular BBC Four quiz hosted by Victoria Coren returns for a 9th and 10th series in 2014!

It's the quiz where, as in life itself, knowledge will only take you so far: patience and lateral thinking are also vital. It’s all about making connections between things which may appear, at first glance, not to be connected at all.

We’re 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 please email onlyconnect@parasolmedia.co.uk including a contact name and number. The closing date for applications is 4th October 2013, so get them in as soon as possible.

If you applied for a previous series, but were unsuccessful, you are welcome to apply again for the new series. Auditions will be held in regional centres across the UK. All applicants must be aged 18+ and U.K. Residents.

Deadline: 4th October 2013
Interview expenses paid?: No
Show expenses paid?: Yes
Interview cities: Around the UK
