Child Genius

TX: TBC

Britain’s most gifted kids will get their turn in the spotlight in brand new series Child Genius, which will follow 21 extraordinary children and their families through the ultimate competition to find the UK’s brainiest child.

In many countries, including the US, competitions such as spelling bees are highly prized, but in the UK, being clever isn’t seen as cool. But in 2013, the UK’s cleverest 7-11 year olds will enter the first ever competition to find the nation’s child genius of the year. The competition, organised in association with Mensa, will celebrate twenty remarkable children as they showcase their amazing mental abilities.

The series will explore every aspect of their lives: what does it takes to raise a genius? Are the kids born with their abilities or are they are result of their upbringing? Filled with laughs, warmth, and jaw-dropping moments, this is the ultimate competition to find Britain’s brainiest kid.
