Blockbusters

blockbusters_gameIn the wake of Bob Holness's recent departure, its good news for quiz fans that Blockbusters will be back on telly soon, courtesy of Talkback Thames who are producing the show in the next few months.

Obviously, Uncle Bob won't be the host but I've been told the format will remain as-was in the glory days of the program in the 1980s and 1990s and the prizes will be cash.

Also, this time there is no need to be a teenager, adults may apply. Auditions are happening now and you can get more info by emailing Lauren Tee on either of these emails:

Contestant Call: Perfection

Perfection is back on the BBC later this year and is now auditioning for new contestants during June and July. All the answers are true/false so if you're bipolar, then this could be the show for you.

Jane from the production team says "The winning money is much like 'Eggheads' -  £1000 per game, and the money is rolled over if nobody wins.  Each episode contains 2 games so the jackpot can increase quite quickly.  As far as I know (and the production team know) the most that has been won is £8000 or £9000 - I don't have a specific figure though.  The show usually airs at 4.15pm on BBC 2 - weekdays."
