If you haven't already seen it...and you haven't already heard of it, then WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????

Orford's Disastermind is the latest quiz craze sweeping the.............studio.

Hosted by Mr Richard Orford himself, Orford's Disastermind is played during one of our live shows each week.  All contestants get 30 seconds in which to test their general knowledge prowess, in an attempt to win entry into Friday night's Take On Tikay tournament.

Guy 'Direwolf' Collins is having an awesome run, and has won no fewer than 4 times already - can he defend his title yet again this evening?  Tune in from 8pm to find out.

So, how do you fancy being an Orford's Disastermind contestant??  Well, all you have to do is email your name, alias and phone number to skyopen@bskyb.com and we will pick 2 names at random to go up against that week's defending champion.  Will it be you stopping Direwolf in his tracks tonight???

Get emailing now!!!

    I would Mandy, but... my general knowledge is so shocking I am not willing to take the risk!

    Also i don't think anyone will beat the nitwolf, even Kevin from Eggheads would struggle imo! I think we should save everyone the trouble and give Guy a tot entry each Friday for life!

    DannyMCs is the current champion.

    We need two challengers tonight to take over and have the chance of free Friday night entry into Take On Tikay and a live spot on the show every week until they're beaten.

    30 seconds of general knowledge- no biggie. It's just a bit of a laugh really.

    So, what are you waiting for? Come and have a go if you're think you're hard enough!!!

    We randomly pick from all the entrants, but if he is chosen he wont get the phone call until just before the quiz.  (OMahonyO has said that he can only play at a certain time, and at the moment I am not sure whether that is going to work - but will keep him in mind.)  Thanks JJ :)

    Cheers Mandy. I might well do. If you can give me the questions about where I live next time though, lol.

    Well done Don. If I had to lose to anybody it would be him. A deep run in the TOTTY and he might even get his phone bill paid....

    lol
