The Weakest Link ‘heading back to Australian television’

The Weakest Link may be returning to Australian TV screens.

The game show originally aired on Channel Seven from February 5, 2001 until April 22, 2002 and was hosted by Cornelia Frances.

A casting notice for a game show with the working title Quizical ‘is believed to be for a new version of The Weakest Link for Nine,’ according to TV Tonight.

The casting notice describes the project as ‘a quiz show where everyone is invited to play.’  

‘We are looking for individuals who aren’t afraid to have some fun, have a friendly but competitive nature and who can answer quiz questions or have a good time trying.’ 

‘The only thing we ask you to bring is a positive attitude and be ready to have some laughs.’ 

The Weakest Link was based on the UK game show format. 

The Australian version was canceled after two seasons due to modest ratings. 

Cornelia died on May 28, 2018, aged 77, following a year-long battle with bladder cancer which eventually spread to her hip and spine.

The actress is remembered as a TV legend, having appeared in shows such as Home and Away, Prisoner, and Sons and Daughters. 

Cornelia was honoured with an Order of Australia Medal for her contribution to the arts.

It is unknown who will host the new quiz show.
