The Kids Are All Right is a British game show that aired on for BBC One from 12 April to 14 June 2008 and is hosted by John Barrowman.[1]
It shares some similarities with Are You Smarter than a 10 Year Old?, which airs on Sky One. It also shares similarities with Eggheads, in that it centres on ordinary people trying to beat a team of super-intelligent ones. The auditions were held in 2007 with the children asked to come to a studio with their parents; they were asked to answer questions about themselves, and had to answer a questionnaire.
In this game show, a team of four adults (friends, family members, colleagues, etc.) have to answer correctly to any questions and beat a team of seven kids named Super Kids to winning a jackpot prize during various rounds.[2]
In each episode, were played five rounds.[3]
In the first round, named Instant Showdown, the adult team starting with an initial price pot of £5,000 had to compete against the kids to defend their jackpot. Taking turns, each adult had to play a duel with a kid selected randomly by a roulette. For each round, three direct-answer questions were asked and to answer had to buzz where the first that scored two points won the head-to-head. At the end of this phase, if the adults won kept their jackpot intact, while for every duel won by the kids, £1,000 were subtracted from the prize pool.
The subsequent three rounds were variable and changed each week, including one involving two adults so that each of the four would participate in one round. In each of these rounds, the kids' age (the elder if were playing two adults) were converted in thousands of pounds should the adults won the games (£15,000 in the event of victory against a 15-year-old kid, for example).[4]
The games used in these three rounds were:
Finished the three rounds, the adult team for winning the currently accumulated jackpot, had to play the last game Beat the Kids where starting to the younger kid from the elder of the seven, the four adults had to answer a question choosing the category between two options on the buzzer. In each head-to-head, if the adult won against the kid, the Super Kid were eliminated and the adult played again against the next Super Kid in order of age, instead, if the kid won the duel against the adult, the latter were eliminated and can play again against the next adult.
At the end of the game, if the adults eliminated the kids' team, they won the jackpot, otherwise, they won nothing.[7]
