a great show for sky one but cannot help thinking that these young kids had some sort of pre help before the show.i mean surley these kids are not that smart? sadly i havn't seen one adult show them selfs as being smarter than a 10 year old

anyone agree?

I definatly agree, 10 year olds can't be that smart!

The ones round here - yes!

I haven't watched the show yet, could they be cherry-picked?

what is the top prize on this, i've never seen it

£250K for the primetime (Noel) version and £50K for the weekday (Dick and Dom version)

Of course they are. They're all drama and dance students who went through an audition like the contestants. They're not ordinary 10year old students at all. Katie even has her own website now (http://www.katiebilsborough.co.uk/) which has some good pictures on it.

It's just like the contestants. Most of them are cherry-picked from a small talent pool of TV show wannabes, which is how DONDs Andy Kelly must have got on - his third or fourth TV appearance at least. I'm still waiting to see some more familiar faces on this. It's almost a legal requirement that everyone who has been on DOND gets to do another quiz show (usually The Weakest Link). It's all fake I tell you! Fake!!

How am I ever going to get on TV when the same old faces keep turning up on different quiz shows? What do I have to do to get on TV, wire my old schoolteacher into the mains and flick the 'on' switch? I need my 15 minutes of fame!

correct me if i'm wrong here but given the fact that these kids are cherry picked(if thats the word we want to use) why couldn't the show be more realistic with its self & cherry pick proper school kids from selected schools & be rearly tested by an adult to be smarter or not..it doesn't feel right that every kid so far on this show has betten every adult on the show so far & proven themself to be even smarter than the smartest adult.the best one yet was the lad that came on who had the IQ i admit watching the show so far seeing the questions based on what they say is on the national curriculm (i begin to wounder) are not all that easy ,but some are. but then some of the subject interests are easyer than others
