Comedy game show pilot centred around hypnotism for ITV2, hosted by Rufus Hound. The host takes hypnotised contestants and drops them into larger-than-life situations. When the action stops, all their friends have to do is guess what happens next, and the more questions they get correct, the further they could all be going on holiday.

The following casting call was put out in June 2012...

ITV2 are looking for groups of four fun, outgoing and lively mates to take part in an amazing new comedy hypnotism game show hosted by Rufus Hound.

If you're outgoing and up for a laugh, we'd like to meet you and your mates at the casting day in Leeds on Saturday 30th June. We're looking for groups of four friends who are up for a laugh and have good banter.

The show is centred around hypnotism and to qualify, it will involve at least one of the group being hypnotised on more than one occasion. The casting day on Saturday 30th June will involve a hypnotist testing whether contestants can be suitably hypnotised. Don't let this put you off from coming if you don't want to be hypnotised-just as long as one of your friends does.

The TV show will be recorded in London on Thursday 19th July and you will all need to be free on that day. The one member of the group who is hypnotised will also have to come to London for two additional days filming during the week commencing July 9th. But, most importantly, the four of you will need to be able to prove you all have a great relationship with each other and that you're all up for a good laugh.

This show started with the working title Mash Da Mind, but the programme name was changed in July 2012.
