Child Genius To Return To Channel 4

News Image
'Child Genius' is returning to Channel 4 for a fourth series.

This year each round of the competition will be hosted by TV mastermind Richard Osman as the children compete in a variety of subjects including maths, spelling, memory and general knowledge.

The 4x60' series, produced by Wall to Wall, will follow the lives of the children and their families as they progress through the now annual competition, organised in association with British Mensa.

Child Genius was commissioned by Channel 4's Lucy Leveugle, Factual Entertainment Commissioning Editor. The series will be executive produced by Wall to Wall's Mark Saben.

Mr Osman said: "I jumped at the chance to get involved with 'Child Genius'. The previous series have been so warm and charming, and such a celebration of bright and funny kids. I know I would have taken part in the show if it had been around when I was young. I would have lost very badly though."
