- The format will see a roving team of hosts surprising members of the public with "quick-fire quiz 'hits'"
The BBC is to launch a new comedy entertainment show. Ready Or Not will see members of the public pranked as part of un-announced 'hits'.
Talking about the format, the producers explain: "From a shopping centre to the seaside, from Loch Ness to Liverpool, comedy entertainment show Ready Or Not will be testing the knowledge and nerves of the unsuspecting people of Britain to win big - whether they're ready or not!
"This six-part series is a twist on the traditional game show, as each week a roving team of hosts head out to surprise members of the public in a series of quick-fire quiz 'hits' to win cash or prizes on the spot."
The show has been devised by Remedy Productions, the company behind quiz shows such as Fifteen To One.
The producers are currently looking for people to secretly nominate their friends and family members to be pranked. Details
The producers say: "We will be travelling up and down the country so we're looking for people from across the nation to take part. Every game starts with a big surprise. It's lots of fun, and there are lots of prizes to be won."
Ready Or Not will be filmed this August, for broadcast at a later date as part of BBC One's Saturday night schedule. The hosts will be named nearer the time.
