Warrington Quiz League

The BBC are looking for contestants for Remotely Funny, a CBBC game show, which is being filmed this August

This is the second series and they are looking for children (ages 8 – 14) with big, sparky personalities who would love to take part in this fun remote gameshow.

As in series 1  three teams, living all over the UK, connect and compete in crazy challenges (in their own homes) against each other and link up via webcams to the presenter SAARA. But it’s not just the kids playing in this series! They’re taking the fun up to a whole new level and are looking for teams with at least two adults (mums, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc) and two children – with the child who applies being the team captain – to take part.

An application form can be found here, so feel free to print off an distribute or send to any friends or colleagues you think would be up for comedy games, challenges and general hilarity and ask them to apply ASAP.

Alternatively the application can be found using the following link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/be-on-a-show-remotely-funny
