Only Connect: The quiz show where general knowledge meets lateral thinking

05 Jan 2012

Applications invited from would-be contestants by 31 January 2012.

Victoria Coren

Victoria Coren presents the sixth series of the popular BBC Four quiz show Only Connect where, as in life itself, knowledge will only take you so far: patience and lateral thinking are also vital. It’s all about making connections between things which may appear, at first glance, not to be connected at all.

Calling all contestants

We’re looking for teams of three players who share a common passion, ability or profession, to pool their combined wits to solve fiendish conundrums and vexing puzzles.

To request an application, please email:

including a contact number.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 31 January 2012, so get them in as soon as possible.

If you applied for a previous series, but were unsuccessful, you are welcome to apply again for the new series.

Auditions will be held in regional centres across the UK. All applicants must be aged 18+ and UK residents.
