Filming will begin later this month in Melbourne on Tom Gleeson’s new show, officially titled Hard Quiz (of course it is!).
Auditions have been underway for several weeks, testing prospective candidates on a specialist knowledge subject. The format is described as “Darwinian and highly competitive.”
“With the audition process, it’s been impressive watching people demonstrating a deep knowledge without resorting to Google. Actually, it’s been impressive just watching adults spending half an hour not glued to their phones,” said Gleeson.

It will air on ABC TV later in the year -and no cash prizes.
