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 must be almost impossible to ensure this doesn’t happen when the time between recording and transmission varies so much from one programme to another. Plus there are repeat showings to factor in as well.
