What happens

Australia's Brainiest is a television game show series produced in Australia by Crackerjack Productions. It originally aired on the Seven Network before moving to Network 10. The format was taken from the British series Britain's Brainiest Kid. The first season of Australia's Brainiest Kid was produced in May 2004, airing on the Seven Network on Sundays, starting 28 November 2004. It was hosted by Anna Coren. It was publicised through Australian primary schools, with children sitting an online test, followed by a selection of them taking a supervised written test. Of those that scored highly on these written tests, some of the highest scoring children appeared on the show as contestants. A second season was produced in 2005, and was broadcast on Network 10 at 6:30 pm on Sundays, starting 25 September 2005. It was hosted by Ten News newsreader Sandra Sully and co-hosted by Samuel Shaed. The second season of Australia's Brainiest Kid was followed by a series of specials on Network Ten featuring celebrities, reality TV contestants and sports stars, under the Australia's Brainiest Specials title. After the broadcast of the specials no further series have been commissioned. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
