      <title>New ITV Quiz show - testers wanted.</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Would any of you be interested in&nbsp;playing in a couple of trial runs of a new ITV Quiz Show?</p>

<p>The quiz is being written and developed by some of the same team behind University Challenge, and their aim is that it's a robust academic challenge - but not as recondite as UC can be! It's pitched at families of Sporcle addicts and board game lovers.</p>

<p>They are looking for clever, confident teams of three family members - a parent, child and grandparent. Ideally, the child on the team will be aged 10/11/12.</p>

<p>They&nbsp;are beta-testing a couple of versions of the format in their MediaCity offices on Friday 4th August and Thursday 1st September, and are really keen to have real families come in and play.</p>

<p>It's not for broadcast, so should hopefully be a fun, low-pressure day out!&nbsp; If you fancy it, give them a call on 0161 952 0609 or send them an email to <a href="mailto:clare.parody@itv.com">clare.parody@itv.com</a></p>]]></description>
