GLASWEGIANS are being sought to take part in a new quiz show hosted by funnyman Rob Beckett.

Head Hunters Every weekday afternoon for six weeks three BBC One's new Head Hunters programme will emerge from a "talent pool" of twenty quizzers, following quick qualifying questions.

To win the rolling jackpot at the end of each show, a Head Hunter must answer a question correctly from nine very different categories, in just 90 seconds.

Participants who think two, three or four heads are better than one in reaching the coveted jackpot can "hunt the heads" to help answer the questions by recruiting their fellow talent pool members.

Rob Beckett said: “When I was first approached about Head Hunters I was slightly worried that it might be a reality TV hunting show, and I would be shot by an ivory poacher.

"Luckily for me it’s a brilliant quiz show that I get to host.

“It’s my first time hosting a quiz and I can’t wait to get stuck in. We will definitely have some laughs along the way as our Head Hunters bid, banter and sometimes offend their opponents in what promises to be an exciting new BBC quiz.”

The show will be filmed at Glasgow's Pacific Quay studios.
