What Do Kids Know? Is a brand new family entertainment show exclusive to Watch, where celebrities and children celebrate the humour and bewilderment of Britain's generation gap. Hosted by Rufus Hound with resident team captains Joe Swash and Sara Cox. It has similarities to Small Talk. The show takes advantage of the communication gap between kids and adults often with hilarious outcomes.
The teams consists of two members an adult, who is also the team captain and a child, aged 7–12. This often causes crossed wires and much hilarity. The two resident team captains are Joe Swash (Team Swash) and Sara Cox (Team Coxy) who are joined by a celebrity guest captain. This team is known as the name of the celebrity guest captain of that week or an affectionate nickname.
Episodes are doubled up and shown Sunday 5:00pm exclusively on Watch. This original broadcast is 40 minutes long (80 minutes together) with a condensed 30 minutes (60 minutes together) repeat.
The show consists of three rounds designed to unravel what goes on in kids minds.
Round 1 The teams choose a child on the screen who will describe someone or something via a pre-recorded film. It is up to the teams to work out what is being described, although the audience is made aware of what is being described due to a caption at the bottom of the screen.
Round 2 This round varies but comes in the form of a physical challenge. E.g., the kids had to paint How Clean is Your House? star Kim Woodburn, or guess the songs performed by the What Do Kids Know? mini maestros
Round 3 The teams are watch a VT of multiple kids talking about one thing some say it right others don't. This round is excluded from the 30-minute repeat.
Round 4 With 60 seconds on the clock each team member must describe to their teammate alternately someone or something that's on their card without using the words of said someone or something. For example, TARDIS, they must say it is Doctor Who's time machine and not it is TARDIS. Again the audience is made aware of what is being described due to a caption at the bottom of the screen.
