TV channel Watch has announced that it “will let the kids take control in its new tea-time commission” for a show to be entitled, ‘Tarrant Lets the Kids Loose’.

Presented by Tiswas entertainer and Who Wants to be Millionaire host Chris Tarrant, the eight-part series will give three- to six-year-olds the green light to fulfil their greatest ambitions in the adult world; whether that’s running a photographic studio, a radio station or an ice-cream van!

Chris Tarrant said of the new series, “They say never work with kids or animals. But you know what? They’re wrong! Kids are funny, magical and always surprising.

“What parent hasn’t told an anecdote about the funny things their children say? This show totally captures the spirit and the inherent comedy of children – it’s the kind of family entertainment I love.”

Each child’s task is created in consultation with their parents, creating “dream challenges” designed to give the little ones a taste of independence and letting them achieve things they never knew they could.

And with the innocence of youth, each child’s response to their position of authority is completely unpredictable and utterly charming. It’s only when the children sit in the live studio audience with their families that they realise that their surreal, fantastical day was actually part of the show.

The show is due to air in October of this year.
