-	===Lucky Pluckers===
-	TwoFour Broadcast, makers of the hit Noel Edmond's quiz Are You Smarter Than a Ten Year Old?, are looking for contestants with various occupations and hobbies to take part in a pilot for a brand new comedy panel show.
-
-	As part of an audience, you could be chosen at random by a panel of comedians and well-known faces to help them answer questions on various subjects.
-
-	If you are articulate and up for a laugh then please send an email to the address at the bottom of this page with your name, age, details of your occupation, hobbies and a recent photograph if possible. Also, let us know what you think are your areas of particular expertise - it might be science, animals, gardening, geography, history or even the bizarre!
-
-	The show is a pilot and although it will be filmed, it won’t be broadcast. However, you will possibly have the opportunity to be involved in future shows if it gets made into a series. It will be a fun day and you will also get to witness and potentially join the cream of well-known and up and coming comedians!
-
-	Please note that this is planned as a post-watershed comedy show and may contain strong language and subject matter that some people may find offensive.
-
-	Filming will take place in central London at the end of April. Email: [mailto:lucky.pluckers@twofour.co.uk lucky.pluckers@twofour.co.uk]
