-=== Online game show pilot ===
-Tom, one of the UKGameshows team, is setting up a web-based quiz show, and is looking for some contestants to do a pilot run-through. "No major prizes except for a small Amazon voucher for the winner," he says, "I'm just trying to test the format and make sure all the technology works. If it does go ahead, though, you'll be pretty much guaranteed a go on the real thing!"
-You need a broadband connection, a webcam, and a free copy of [http://www.skype.com Skype]. If you've got those, send an email to thomas@thomasscott.net with your Skype username. Good luck!

-=== Deal or No Deal ===
-We've had a number of enquiries about how to get onto this very popular show. It seems from the website that they have all the contestants that they need for the moment - over 80,000 people are said to have applied. Sorry!
