Ocelot Spleens Sep 2022 3:04pm, 20 Sep 2022 34,756 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens I have very little idea of how an Only Connect team gets on. I suppose you apply and get tested in some way,as per UC. Fetch OC team anyone? They were asking last night....

I had todos telephone audition then a filmed audition with a group of other people, then I got the call to invite me on the show. I was up against The Beast…I didn’t win any money! But it was a fun experience.

Fragile Do Not Bend Sep 2022 7:41pm, 20 Sep 2022 10,184 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend Same here, I’d love to do it in theory but in practice my voice would be all wobbly from nerves and my brain would shut down. Anyway, I know very little about popular culture (ok on science, nature and random useless facts though).
