Child Genius: Season 7, Episode 2

7 - 2: Episode 2

It's stage two of Child Genius. Led by quizmaster extraordinaire Richard Osman, the remaining 13 competitors - and their parents - face a challenging General Knowledge exam, with topics ranging from arts, science and history and a fiendishly difficult memory round testing the recall of over 155 UK rail stations. Taking to the podium is 12 year old cacti enthusiast Mog. There's also 12-year-old Joshua, whose ultra-competitive dad believes anyone withholding their child from competition is committing 'child abuse'. Sophia from north London, has had to cram preparation for the competition into a packed schedule of elite ice-skating, acting at a famous drama school, and starring in her mum Hayley's audio-book.
