Silver River, the production company behind Grow Your Own Drugs, Supersizers Go… and Pulling, are looking for cyclists to take part in a ground-braking science programme.

The programme will seek to uncover hidden abilities – with cyclists targeted for their wealth of transferrable skills.     

“Ever watched Top Gun and thought: ‘That should have been me?’  Well, this programme may reveal you really were born to be a jet fighter pilot as your latent ability makes you the perfect candidate,” said associate producer Alexandra Cook.

“As these latent abilities go undiscovered in most of us and there’s no way of knowing until you’re tested for them, we’re looking to hear from anyone who wants to find out if they might have an amazing ability that could lead to a life changing opportunity.”

Those who are interested should send an email to [email protected], upon which a questionnaire will be emailed to them.

The minimum age of applicants is 16 and the deadline for all completed questionnaires is the November 1.
