Little Big Shots (stylised as Little Big Shots with Dawn French) is a British children's television and talent show that premiered on ITV on 1 March 2017. The series is hosted by Dawn French and based on the American show of the same name created by Ellen DeGeneres and Steve Harvey who is also the host of the original. The series is produced by Wall to Wall. In June 2017, it was confirmed it would return for a second series, also with six episodes.
The show, unlike other talent shows like The X Factor, has no judges, winners or losers. In each episode, Dawn French talks to a 3–13 year old child about their talent, before performing it in front of a studio audience. Some talents shown include singing, dancing, cooking and karate.
Little Big Shots received positive reviews. Viewers said that the show "lifted the spirit" and "[was a] ray of sunshine".Tim Dowling from The Guardian said "Little Big Shots appears to be the kind of cheap and cheerful fare designed to be broken into viral chunks and slapped up on YouTube afterwards: heartwarming moments from a sickly-sweet box of delights."
