Conditions of use

Please note the following terms and conditions:

Advertising rules:

We carry adverts for quizzes, game shows and similar light entertainment formats.
Please DO NOT write the advert in BLOCK CAPITALS. It makes it hard for us to format your advert correctly.
Please double-check that all the details (particularly contact details) are correct - we cannot guarantee immediate corrections. Please also ensure that the text of your advert includes a way for prospective contestants to respond - this sounds obvious but is easily overlooked.

Producers must undertake to:

Give fair warning of any geographical, age or other pertinent restrictions on the types of contestants sought. For example, does it matter if a potential contestant has been on other game shows recently?
Use due diligence and courtesy when dealing with potential contestants at all times.
Be honest and truthful in their dealings with contestants, and treat our readers fairly. Producers may not use this page to advertise hoax programmes.
