Contestants wanted for new series of Mastermind filming in Northern Ireland

Do you have what it takes to sit in the famous black chair?

Hat Trick / Hindsight Productions are currently casting contenders for the next series of the BBC Two quiz show Mastermind.

Would you have enough knowledge on your Specialist Subject to be forensically tested? How’s your general knowledge - are you a pub quiz whizz?

Filmed in Northern Ireland, Mastermind is looking to cast a diverse range of people throughout the whole of the UK.

Anyone can apply as long as they are aged 18 or over and are a resident of the UK, including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

A spokesperson for Hat Trick said: "You do need some general knowledge, but we’re really interested in your three Specialist Subjects – the wider the range the better

"As well as regular quizzers, we also want to encourage people who might not usually apply for quiz shows to get involved.

"After you have submitted your application, one of the casting team may get in touch to organise a Zoom audition with you.

"We’ll do a short general knowledge quiz and learn more about why you’ve chosen your Specialist Subjects - the audition will only take 15-20 minutes and is very relaxed and fun."

To apply, see here or email mastermind.hth@hattrick.com
