Teams of two Yorkshire folk are invited to talk about their life experiences of Yorkshire food and drink, culture and sport. There are no special requirements for entry (which is free) but Yorkshire historians, photographers and authors will do well on the show.
Jonathan Senior, the show's host said: "We are on the fifth season of FunkQuest and although we featured our local MP Alexander Stafford in a one off episode, most guests tend to come from North America. We thought would be good to feature local accents and conversations about local issues for a change."
