Child Genius

MONDAY, 7.30PM, SBS

Waleed Aly’s wife, Dr Susan Carland, is on the hunt for Australia’s brightest child in this unique documentary-style competition. The feel-good series brings some of the country’s brainiest primary school students together – including one boy who reckons his IQ is higher than Albert Einstein’s! –to battle it out for the title of our smartest kid. The cameras also go inside the homes of these baby brainiacs, and puts the nature verse nurture debate to the test by interviewing their parents.
