Jack Dee is set to front a new comedy game show for UKTV, which will see beloved comics paired with young geniuses - as the comics have to try not to scupper the youngsters' chances of winning. Easier said than done!
Help Me Tiny Big Brain is set to come to U and U&Dave later this year and will feature the likes of Maisie Adam, Lucy Beaumont, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Ivo Graham, Guz Khan, Johnny Vegas, Tim Vine, Phil Wang and Sophie Willan.
Dee said: "In Help Me Tiny Big Brain I will be asking some of the brightest young people in the country to collaborate with some top comedians in order to solve maddeningly frustrating problems.
"It’s fun, uplifting and has an irresistible feel-good vibe. Precisely the kind of thing I am best known for."
UKTV's commissioning executive Tracy-Jean said: "What Stellify has proven with Help Me Tiny Big Brain is that a great idea plus impeccable timing is what it takes to secure a commission. Uniting two groups who usually work solo - junior super-brains and experienced stand ups – to solve problems under the watchful gaze of Jack Dee is truly an act of genius."
Director of Programming Gerald Casey added: "Help Me Tiny Big Brain is an idea that the channel has been looking at for a long time, and I’m delighted we are finally bringing it to the screen.
