Griff Rhys Jones invites experts to do quizzes and play games informed by pieces in a different museum each week in an idea everyone seems to be calling new except Codex did it ten years ago. Whatsmore this appears to be even less sexy than that going by the adverts. Still, let’s not pre-judge.
The lovely Michelle from John Stanley Productions has been in touch, they’re doing a runthough for a major broadcaster in a few weeks and YOU can be a part of it:
‘Contestants wanted for run through of brand new quiz format. April 10th 3-6pm in central London. Cash prize for the winning team and travel expenses. Please email a short self description to casting@johnstanleyproductions.com‘
Do say you saw this here.
JSP is Matt Lucas’ production company, and they are also responsible for the upcoming Relatively Clever with Mel Giedroyc, which looks like an updated Ask the Family, going out on Sky 1 from 3rd April.
Hurrah! It’s coming back for a second series, and this time instead of six months of “hilarious” adverts trying to get you to apply to a mystery adventure show so they can surprise you on the day, you can just e-mail hounds@goggleboxentertainment.co.uk this time around. Good luck.

We’ve got some “proper” content lined up for towards the end of the week.
