CBBC is Topclass: A new UK-wide search for Britain’s smartest school with host Susan Calman
Comedian Susan Calman is to host a brand new show which will search for Britain’s smartest school. To be shown on CBBC in September, Top Class is a fast-paced, competitive knock-out series which pits schools from the length and breadth of the U.K against each other as they answer questions designed to test them to their limits.
The 15x28’ series will feature 16 schools and show by show, they will be whittled down until just one remains to be crowned the smartest school in Britain.
In each programme two teams of students will compete against each other in a series of challenging and fun rounds which will cover a wide range of subjects. Kids will have an opportunity to impress during their pet subject round whilst teachers will be in the hot seat during a pop culture round.
At the end of each show, one school will be eliminated from the competition whilst the other will progress to the next round.
Susan Calman said: “I had so much fun testing these fabulously talented kids; they constantly amazed me with their determination, competitiveness and all-round cleverness! I learned more from them than they did from me!"
Cheryl Taylor, Controller of CBBC said: “I’m proud that CBBC is hosting this fantastic opportunity for schools to showcase their intellectual talents. All the competitors did themselves proud and Susan Calman brings her usual comedic genius to this tough tournament.”
