Are you the smartest person alive?

The Actually Really Very Difficult Show, the ultimate kids quiz and challenge-based TV show, returns to put Aussie children in the driver’s seat to outsmart, outwit and outdo the adults, on Monday, October 21, at 7.30am AEST on 9Go! and 9Now.

In each episode, The Actually Really Very Difficult Show will showcase one of four exceptional children – AKA the Smartest People Alive – who tackle complex subjects amid the twists and turns orchestrated by a different school who actually make the show really, very, difficult.

From animals to Australiana, pop culture to history, sport to science, and food to plants, each themed episode promises a blend of educational depth and captivating entertainment.

And of course, no show like this is complete without the ultimate challenge, changing weekly and daring enough to even get the hosts eating a banana drenched in hot sauce – sure to elicit “yucks” from viewers.

Executive Producer and Programming Manager at Nine Queensland, Geoff Cooper, said: “I’m thrilled to see this hybrid show return for another season, and I can confidently say that it’s been elevated to a whole new level. Our dedicated team behind this production have added an extra twist with the introduction of the Smartest People Alive, injecting excitement and fun into every episode.

“The Actually Really Very Difficult Show not only enriches our programming at Nine Queensland but also promises to make a meaningful connection with young audiences across Australia.”

One of the Smartest People Alive, creative and clever Kellan, said: “Working on this show has been the best! I’m pumped for other kids to watch how we challenge the adults with crazy challenges. Get ready, because what we’ve got lined up is going to blow your mind.”

The Actually Really Very Difficult Show will air weekdays from Monday, October 21, 7.30am AEST on 9Go! and 9Now.
