I watch every TV quiz programme I can. My question is, I am right in thinking that some of the same people appear on quiz after quiz? Some of the contestants look familiar to me.
I have just applied for pointless - having finally found a partner who will put up with me - and had to fill out the usual form of
what I had applied for
what I had appeared in
and I think it is ltd to three a year
HOWEVER if you look you are having fun
your name may be passed around but only twice
in the early 90's I worked with a lady who was on several quiz type shows, trawling through the channels the other night she was on yet another quiz ( on challenge ) so she must still be at it. On one show she won a holiday to Moscow which she changed for the money to spend on 4 weeks round the Greek islands.
As someone who has been on 26 TV game show and Quiz programmes , yes you do see the same people doing the rounds . I used to see a coloured girl from Ipswich called Gina many times at interviews . She had the advantage of being coloured and being female which are two things that interview teams are looking for. I would hink she would easily beat the 27 show contestant that was featured recently in the Daiy Mail. I know she won a car on Sale of the Century and another one on Wheel of Fortune. She also won £50,000 on Shafted even though the programme was never shown. I can also remember her winning a fortnight holiday in singapore on BigBreak . I would think she must have done 50 programmes which i would thinkthat would make her the top quiz person.She was never interested in the harder quiz progs like Mastermind or 15 to 1.
