Channel 4 is looking for local geniuses to take part in a major new competition

Channel 4 is looking for local geniuses to take part in a major new competition format show to spotlight the country’s undiscovered brainboxes.

 It is estimated that there are thousands of people in the UK with the brains of a genius, from all walks of life and backgrounds – who don’t even know it. Secret Genius will see Alan Carr and Susie Dent test Britain’s brainpower like never before to uncover the country’s most gifted and unsung minds.

This new six-part series will see people from each of the four regions of the UK come to take part in immersive and ambitious challenges that will test all aspects of their brain power. Celebrating all things cerebral, Alan and Susie will explain the tasks and games – no matter how complex and mind-bending- and encourage viewers to play along and find out if they too have what it takes to be a genius.

Made in consultation with British Mensa, the series will be an uplifting and surprising journey of self-discovery for those taking part and will challenge us all to rethink what it means to be a genius.
