Michael Carrington, Controller, CBeebies, has unveiled the latest innovation from the UK’s favourite pre-school channel CBeebies. Kerwhizz is a new breakthrough multi-platform entertainment format aimed at 4 to 6 year olds.
Michael Carrington says: “Children love quizzes but there hasn’t ever been a television quiz for viewers of this age.
“Kerwhizz is tremendous fun, looks absolutely amazing and children and their grow-ups will be able to enjoy the game and the podcasts any time they like.”
In Kerwhizz three teams of CGI characters compete to answer questions that will give them add-ons or “pod-mods” for their high-tech racing machines which can help them to win a race against their opponents.
Visually stunning and packed with gags, Kerwhizz has been designed with the assistance of teachers, and a specialist adviser, to test the teams and the viewer.
The children watching are drawn into the action at every step of the game, answering questions, making predictions about the race and advising contestants when to use their “pod mods”. Read More »
