Sky orders geek game show The Fanatic
A new game show for geeks and fanatics has been ordered for Sky1.
The Fanatic pits three different contestants against one another each week, testing their knowledge about a diverse range of topics, reports Broadcast.
A casting call reads: "Across the eight episodes in the series, we want to include a variety of subjects. From soap operas to Star Wars, from Manchester United to motorsport, from Thor to theme parks, the list is endless."
The series was commissioned by Sky1's Adam Macdonald, and could feature interactive elements for viewers at home.
The Fanatic is being produced by Victory Television, which has previously worked on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Tough Young Teachers.
Sky also recently ordered a UK version of the Us reality series King of the Nerds, which will be hosted by Konnie Huq.
