Variety reporting an ‘intelligent quiz’ SVOD service called IQTV is in the offing for £3.50 a month.

I look forward to being wrong but…

Press release.

Hardball was looking for contestants under the working title of Moneyball I think and appears to be basically the endgame from Rebound with Ore Oduba and a more physical clock.

Chase the Case sounds like Indian Poker with briefcases and a general knowledge element with Dan Walker.

Both coming later in the year.

Hopefully it will continue going in the right direction after Series 2 turned out to be much more watchable than series one, this time round nine countries will compete including the UK and Australia, with wrestler Stu Bennett (aka Wade Barrett) and journalist Kate Abdo commentating for the UK and Dannii Minogue (!) and rugby player Nick Cummins commentating for Australia. And the Brazilians and South Koreans are back! Hurrah.

Season 3 will go out on Netflix later in the year.

Wade Barrett joins Richard Osman, Mark Labbett AND Tom Davis in being a 6ft 7in game/reality show connected celebrity. I wonder who would win that fight?

Closing date April 16th. Give us a cut of your winnings.

Edit: Or at least you could if the page actually had a link to the application form, which at time of writing it does not.

Edit Edit: There now.

Here’s a fun interview with Jack Waley-Cohen and David McGaughey with regards to the Only Connect question writing process.

Edit: Tickets here, filming 22nd – 28th March at Pinewood.

Series 6: Alice Levine, Asim Chaudhry, Liza Tarbuck, Russell Howard and Tim Vine. Interesting!
