THE 1% CLUB RENEWED FOR FIFTH SERIES ON ITV, APPLICATIONS OPEN

As announced last year as part of a two-series deal, award-winning primetime quiz The 1% Club will return for a fifth series on ITV1 next year. Applications are now open, with more details available here.

Imagine a game show where an eight-year-old has as much chance of winning as an 80-year-old or where intelligence isn’t based on how many exams you passed, but is all about how your brain works - The 1% Club is a unique, compelling and funny gameshow that tests the nation’s intelligence, based on a scientific survey.

This primetime entertainment format is not about what you learned at school or your ability to memorise facts – it’s about real intelligence and a chance to test your brain through a series of questions that often lead to extremely entertaining answers which sees host Lee Mack interacting with the contestants.

Everyone is on a level playing field and that means that anyone can play along, making it the show for family and friends to watch together.

Lee Mack: "Let’s be honest, the fact that I haven’t accidentally given a hundred grand to the wrong person or read out the answer instead of the question is as much a surprise to me as it is to everyone else. I’m really delighted that ITV is risking me steering this ship once again. I can’t wait to discover more of the nation’s brainboxes."

The 1% Club continues Saturday nights on ITV1.
