Terms & Conditions
Eligibility
1. The Sara Cox Breakfast Show Quiz is a quiz open to all residents (over 18 years of age) of the UK, including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, except BBC Group employees, their close relatives and anyone connected with the quiz. Proof of age, identity and eligibility may be required. The BBC reserves the right to disqualify any contestant or winner who breaches these rules.
How to Enter
2. The Sara Cox Breakfast Show Quiz will be run during the Breakfast programme on BBC Radio 2 (except when editorial requirements lead to a change in schedule or a change in programme content). Although we plan to run a daily quiz, this will not always be via the method described in these terms nor with an entrant from this competition. We may replace this competition on any day with a celebrity quiz of the same nature at our discretion.
3. To be in with a chance of playing the quiz, listeners need to get in touch with us, using the method outlined below with their name and contact number and explain why they want to take part:
Email - sara.cox@bbc.co.uk
Please include the word “quiz” in the subject line.
4. The Breakfast Show production team will review eligible entries and shortlist contestants based on their explanation of why they want to play; this is an editorial decision and not all contestants will be shortlisted.
5. Qualifying stage:
5.1. Following the shortlisting stage outlined above:
5.2. Selected contestants called back will be asked about their general knowledge, interests, and hobbies.
5.3. Contestants may be asked additional questions about their news, sport and trivia knowledge and will be selected on how lively and interesting they will sound on air and how recently they have appeared on Radio 2.
6. All contestants put through to play on air must supply their name, postal address, and a daytime contact telephone number.
7. We will only accept one entry per person by the method listed above. Once an entry has been submitted, it may be selected for shortlisting any time within 28 days of entry. All entries will only be kept for 28 days and subsequent entries by the same person within 28 days will be disregarded. If an entrant does not hear from us or we have not been able to get in touch with them after reasonable attempts, the entrant has been unsuccessful in reaching the qualifying stage and may try again after 28 days of entry.
8. One contestant will be chosen to take part in The Sara Cox Breakfast Show Quiz each day that the quiz is played with a contestant from the shortlist. The contestant will be told which day they will be taking part in the quiz and each quiz will be broadcast live, unless informed otherwise. If a selected contestant is unavailable at the time the quiz is due to be played, their participation will end and another contestant will be selected to take part in the quiz.
On-Air Quiz
9. The selected contestant (player) for the day will listen to a wall of sound live on the radio - 20 audio clips mashed up together. These clips could be anything: famous people, characters, theme tunes, pop songs, film quotes or a generic everyday sound (door creak, bottle pop, can opening, microwave etc). The player is then given 20 seconds to find the 20 answers determined by the production team from the audio clues. The player is awarded one point for each correct answer. The presenter may give prompts if a clip is identified by the player but the answer not yet called out. The player is added to a leaderboard and the player at the top of that leaderboard at the end of each week wins a pair of ‘Sara Sox’ (Sara Cox Breakfast Show branded socks). The next day the sounds guessed will be replaced plus, a certain number of clips will be replaced every day, whether or not they were guessed the day before.
.
10. The winner is the contestant who has the most points on the leaderboard and will be announced at the end of each week. In the event of a tie in the number of points across the week, the tied contestants will all get the first place prize and be joint winners for that week. Runners up (not the winner or joint winners) will all receive a Sara Cox Breakfast Show toothbrush for taking part that week. If a celebrity guest has a highest score and is not joint with any other players, the first place prize will be awarded to the next high-scoring player.
