Synopsis
A bit like Child's Play in that adults attempt to guess how the children would respond to questions. Cute and p'rhaps a little bit sickly. There were the inevitable funny moments when little Emily thinks the capital of France is Venezuela, or something like that.
The first series was somewhat illogical because the contestants had to make predictions about the kids without hardly knowing them. This was tweaked in later series so that a clip of the kid was shown first and then the contestant made a prediction before the answer was revealed.
Key moments
The little girl who thought that the man on top of the column in Trafalgar Square was Nelson Mandela.
The things the children used to call Ronnie, such as "Mr Corset", "Mr Carpet" and "Mr Courgette"!
The little Scottish boy who, after introducing himself, declared proudly, "I'm ten in England and I'm ten in Scotland - 'cos there's no time-difference!"
Catchphrases
"And here's the star of the show... me!"
"Hello, boys and girls!" and, at the end of the show, "Bye, bye, boys and girls!"
(The children):"Hello, Mr Corbett!" and, "Bye, bye, Mr Corbett!"
"So it's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from them!"
