Legendary BBC quiz show Mastermind is looking for contenders for the new series. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a general knowledge expert why not apply? Mastermind is widely regarded as the most rigorous and intellectually challenging of British quiz shows and has become one of television's most enduring successes. It would be fantastic if somebody from the world of school librarianship made it to the televised stages!

Contrary to popular opinion, the Mastermind team is not looking for experts. It wants people who are prepared to become experts in the subjects that they love. So whether your passion is Leonardo da Vinci or Leonardo diCaprio, maybe you should think about applying - the list really is as long and as varied as the interests of the British public.
