Looking for Pub Quiz Machine Players for TV Show Idea!

kirsten red house · Post by **kirsten red house** » Thu Sep 04, 2014 5:55 pm

I'm working at a television production company called Red House Television. I'd really like to speak to professional pub quiz machine players for a new television programme idea we have going on at the moment.

If you're general knowledge is second to none and you are a regular pub quiz machine player who has started to make quite a good amount of money by playing on said machines I'd love to talk to you. We're looking into a programme idea about individuals who have followed their hobbies and have been able to almost make a career out of it.

Please note that this is not a show we are making but an idea we're researching so it would be a really informal research chat on the phone that I'd like to have with you.

If you would like to talk to me further about this please email me at kirsten.taylor@redhousetv.co.uk

Thanks!

Career? How to ruin a good hobby, turning an interest into a job.

there are 1000s of different careers people have created out of hobbies, they are not really viable business or sustainble jobs in the long run.

Plenty start out from the way the welfare system runs in this country.

If the show ever happened...

Episode 1, single mother of four turns her hobby for home baking into a high flying business and career making cupcakes. Selling the cakes at the local markets 1 day a week after spending the week juggling the business and looking after her family, Rachel 28 says... "its hard work but really rewarding and let me be my own boss". Currently Rachel makes about £80 a week.....

THIS IS WHERE ITS FUCKED UP, it only happens because the state throws 2k a month at them for 16hours of what is quaetionable productivity.

next week, Tom 58, disabled and on a pension makes his living out of making birdtables and garden furniture from scraps of wood in his shed.

Back on topic, quiz machines, at £1 stake £40 prize 30% rtp would be hard job to make a living from, it would be lots of effort for low returns purely based on knowledge and answering questions.... game design and sofware glitches aside.

red house best sticking to property porn, though I suppose there is a need to find something else to make once the market crashes next year.

Pro Quiz machine play wasn't really a hobby more of an opportunity for people with certain a skillset and nothing better to do to make far more money than they could ever do in a ordinary job and to make themselves financially secure for the future. It would have been a better idea 20 years ago if you could have found any genuine pro player to appear on it then.

Thanks for the helpful response quizard I appreciate your advice.

That's the whole point of a development team in a production company- to see if ideas have legs and if the programmes themselves will work. The whole reason of posting on here was to speak to people and see what is going on in the quiz machine world today as clearly I'm not a player myself therefore I've found a place to talk to said enthusiasts, to RESEARCH.

roll_with_it_russ, dogsection and bubbles very amusing...

We also have a dedicated quiz machine section lower down on the board. It's the same forum but not everyone on there reads all the fruit machine stuff, so it may be worth cut and pasting your original posting and seeing if you get more replies.

My understanding is that full time professional quiz machine players are barely in double figures nationwide.
