Engineering enthusiasts wanted for new TV show

09 Mar 2011

Maverick Television is looking for groups of friends to take part in three-day challenge

  • Are you a group of engineering enthusiasts?
  • Are you up for a three-day challenge in a stunning UK location and the chance to win a cash prize?
  • Your expertise, imagination and ability will be tested in a 72-hour race against another team to crack the code ... and get your hands on the cash!

Maverick Television is looking for groups of friends who are interested in mechanics, are keen salvagers, engineering eggheads and those who have a genuine passion for building machines to take part in a fun, challenging new eight-part series for Sky 1.

Each week, two teams will compete head to head in a race to reach a safe hidden somewhere in a breathtaking UK location – containing a big cash prize.

To get their hands on the safe, each team must design and construct a machine capable of transporting them to it, or of bringing it to them in just 72 hours.

With limited tools and materials, which team can work together and be first to complete their machine, make it work, retrieve the safe, open it and win the money?

So if your team feels up to the challenge of Safebreakers, you can all apply online at:
