Ok is it me or was nearly every kid in the first boy's round peering over their neighbours shoulder to peek at their answers? hmmm.

i didn't watch it. was it worth watching?

[Sanjay]

to be honest. My Opinion: no.  I thought they'd be much tougher questions (as well as number) on the show, and i thought the format of the show was pretty weak.  <P>Mrs_Moyles: When do you ever come online on msn/icq? You have your fleeting moments that last all of 2 seconds!  :)

This program was absolutely terrible. From the title of the show, to the presenter, to the format, to the channel it was on, to the porky kid who won it. Are we seriously supposed to believe she (?) is "Britain's Brainiest Kid". This is ITV at it's lowest - and to think they gave it 90 minutes of the schedule. Where were the kids who had done A levels at age 7? The grammar school kids? Or maybe they're too middle-class or dare I say it - intellegent for a prime-time ITV show. And - what did the kid get at the end? A crappy trophy with fingerprints all over it! <P>For me - this is up there with The Planet's Dumbest Animals in the top 10 of ITV's Stupidest Programs. On another note, good to see Vorderman on TV for a change.<P>the_dr

lol! Go Daniel!<P>But yeah, it was pretty weak. <P>I thought, is it as simple as that? Go on a TV show and get more questions right than other children, and you're crowned as Britian's Brainiest Kids...<P>I thought them saying they wanted to rule the world (or the equivilant of..) was hillarious! Them saying that just made me laugh!<P>Actually I thought it was entertaining cos if was so stupid and basic!

Best bit was Carol Voderman.  One of the guys was asked by Mrs. Voderman as to what he wanted to be when he grew up.  He replied,<br>"A Formula 1 driver"<br>She then asked:<br>"Who's your faveourite driver?"<br>He replied:<br>"David Coulthard"<br>Carol Voderman then went on to say:<br>"And he obvioulsy drives for... who does he drive for?"  :)<P>That was great, and the guy who had a music scholarship but wanted to be a footballer for Manchester United  :) hehe.

the only reason for watching it was for carol vordermans tits jumping in the ill fitting rainbow top, the ppl were irrelevant, the toff who said he wrote a novel, i pissed myself laughing. and their introductions, i actually got an a star in maths at 12. yeah, i actually wanna kick your head in, you ****. the 12 toffee boys- step forward the worst football team in the world if my life at school reflects this

Sorry had to stick in another post (no doubt by the end of this topic Stevotrash would have run-off an e-mail/letter to the producers of the show for his university electoral campaign or something along those lines )<P>Moreover, when it came to the heat to decide who would be the "brainiest" kid in Britain - i gotta admit i found the questions kinda 'mis-placed'.  If you were to distinguish the "brainiest" kid in Britain would you genuinely give them a trivia on GENERAL KNOWLEDGE  <IMG SRC="http://chrismoyles.net/ubb/eek.gif"> and their topic of "expertise"??!! Would you? I think not.  <IMG SRC="http://chrismoyles.net/ubb/confused.gif">  :) <P>And just for the books...<P>Sanjay.

'Brainy' is such a vauge and subjective term that nobody can possibly be defined as the 'brainiest' person in the UK. For example, I may be good at computers but I'm ****e at sciene & stuff like that. How do you measure intellegence? An IQ test is the tradition method - but I suppose that doesn't make very entertaining viewing.<P>the_dr
