Channel 4 has unveiled a duo of documentaries about the behaviour of kids and their families at the best and worst times of their lives. 

Inside Birmingham Children’s Hospital

Inside Birmingham Children’s Hospital tells the stories of families facing their greatest fears together.

From life-threatening illnesses and psychological trauma to bumps, bruises and grazed knees, the show follows families from the operating theatre to the kitchen table to tell the stories of normal people dealing with extraordinary problems.

Over the course of the series you will meet a brave father who is donating part of his liver to his 14-year-old son, and see how a dad helps his daughter through her own struggle with depression.

Moving and inspiring, the show is an “uplifting exploration and celebration of what it means to be a parent – and a child – in Britain today,” said Channel 4’s David Brindley.

The series will air in the spring.

 

The Kids Casting Agency.

Tasked with finding the stars of the future, BizzyKidz is one of the largest children’s talent agencies in the UK.

The observational documentary follows these children and their parents as they fight to get into some of the most competitive industries in the world.

Whether it’s the child of a city banker, a team of superstar sisters who want to make it big, or a mother who wants to be able to privately educate her kids, the show unpacks the many motivations for trying to become a star.

Channel 4’s David Brindley explains that the show explores “why children want to become famous and how their parents feel about entering this cut-throat world. It’s a series full of warmth and wit, celebrating Britain’s most talented tots.”
