What Do Kids Know? UK Premiere Series Continues

Watch’s brand new and exclusive series that sets out to find out what really goes on children’s minds concludes this month with more all-new episodes.

Host Rufus Hound, team captains Sara Cox and Joe Swash – as well as a guest celebrity each episode (Strictly’s Brendan Cole and Liz McClarnon) – must navigate descriptive round after descriptive round, where the adults will try to figure out just what a junior team partner is trying to describe.

Whether it’s Simon Cowell they’re trying to portray, or depicting the Angel of the North via the medium of drawing, it’s down to the celebrities to work out what their pint-sized team mate is trying to say.

Kids do say the funniest things, but What Do Kids Know? continues to provide a fresh and irreverent spin on an enduring theme – you just don’t know what’s going to come out of the kids’ mouths next. And for Rufus, Sara and Joe, they’ll have to keep their wits about them at all times.

Sylvester McCoy hands the time travelling baton onto Paul McGann for this feature-length Doctor Who movie.

We join the Doctor as he transports the remains of his ultimate nemesis, The Master, back to their home world of Gallifrey. But, as ever with The Master, things are not quite as they seem, and soon the evil Time Lord’s essence escapes into the TARDIS, making it crash land in San Francisco in 1999.

As he leaves the TARDIS the Doctor is shot, triggering a regeneration. But the Doctor isn’t the only person with regeneration on his mind – to survive The Master must inhabit a Time Lord’s body.

EastEnders 25th Anniversary Specials

Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st February, from 12pm

Twenty five years ago Den Watts, Arthur Fowler and Ali Osman broke into a flat in the fictional east London town of Walford. There they found OAP Reg Cox slumped in his chair. As opening scenes go, it couldn’t have been any more dramatic.

But, in the ensuing quarter of a century, the drama in Walford hasn’t stopped. Thanks to a long line of classic characters, feuding families, love and heartbreak, the soap has become a TV institution ran and ran.

To celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary, Watch goes behind the scenes to find the real stories behind the blow-ups, the rows and the rucks, with a series of channel premiere documentaries that are packed with cast members recounting experiences and classic clips.

EastEnders Special: Unveiled – A Wedding Special is a behind-the-scenes look at how the path of true love has never run smoothly on Albert Square. EastEnders Special: Christmas Fallouts, meanwhile, sees former star Shane Richie looking at the aftermath of Max and Stacey’s affair as they and their families try to cope with the devastating discovery.

EastEnders Special: Feuds – The Beales vs The Mitchells lifts the lid on the scams, scandals and scuffles during a life of rivalry between Phil Mitchell and Ian Beale, and EastEnders Special: The Curse Of The Queen Vic reveals the highs and lows that have taken place behind the bar of the Walford local.
