BIB1- I'm in various FB groups for certain shows, and producers often post casting calls for both new shows and established in them. It was similar for audiences pre-Covid. I remember having attended recordings of Countdown and Uni Challenge in close succession and got cornered by the audience director while leaving, asking could I come to be in the auidence the next day for a new quiz they were filming (which guessing by the date, I think would have been Andi Peter's short lived Ejector Seat), but I was unavailable.

BIB2- The rule about not taking part on other shows seems to be very inconsistent. A friend of mine had to wait more than a year after filming Eggheads to apply for other shows while waiting for his Eggheads episode to air, yet others seem to be on shows within a few weeks of each other. I even vaguely remember somebody being on Mastermind and Only Connect in the same year.

It's better to be honest and stick to the rules then try your luck and potentially get blacklisted although saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if that rule was relaxed during the pandemic though.
