Calling all coin collecting experts!
NEW QUIZ SHOW: ABC TV
Calling all trainspotters, enthusiasts, boffins and brainiacs! If you have a hobby, past-time or area of interest that doesn't form part of your "day job" and you know an enormous amount about it, then consider the following! ABC TV is currently searching for contestants to take part in a fun, new quiz show for broadcast in 2004. Contestants competing in the programme will be quizzed on their nominated specialist area of knowledge. It may be anything from the "Early films of Marilyn Monroe", to the "Weapons of World War One", or perhaps it could be "Competitive surfing at Bells Beach", or "Planets of our Solar System". The programme will be filmed in Melbourne, though contestants will also be recruited from interstate following an application and audition process. Contestants will compete on the programme for a chance to be the national winner. There will be no prizes involved, but plenty of prestige! So if you're an expert on a subject or topic and you've been waiting for a chance to show it off to a national audience, then get in touch and let us know your specialty area ASAP! Just remember that it cannot be an area of knowledge that forms part of your profession or occupation- it must be a hobby or past-time. For more information or to volunteer yourself as a possible contestant, contact the Quiz office on (03) 9524 2481. |

"Hmmmm, Melbourne, Florida, not far from Orlando and Disney World..." Uh huh. We know that. "Anyway, the concept is interesting. My first reaction was that I prefer not to be humilated on national television. I mean, if you CLAIM to be an expert and lose, that's pretty bad, right?... But it never goes like that because the producers need something better for the audience to get involved in, so there will be some measurable level of success and PRIZES! for any selected contestant. Unless you are competing against OTHER experts... then you could get wiped out... Mostly, it would be the experience of doing it. If you have never been on television, it is something to learn from. Mostly, the experience itself is terrifying while you are being pushed through it but professionals who treat you like meat. The smile muscles get a work out. But afterward, you never look at TV the same. I did two quiz shows and it is amazing how blank your mind can be. You either know it or you do not. For me, under the lights, thinking is impossible. It is all reflex." You remember Cleveland's It's Academic. I was on the show in March of 1965 representing Saint Augustine Academy. I missed a baseball question. Me, of all people. The nuns in the audience let out a groan. In unison. I couldda died. ;-) Anka Z ----- didn't/doesn't know squat about the National League |
