Saara Forsberg, Finnish vlogger and voice of the 2014 hit “What Does the Fox Say?”, commandeers British living rooms from a London studio, barking tasks at three children beaming in via webcam. Over 22 minutes they scramble for rubbery ‘Samoji’ points by fetching bizarre bedroom artefacts, flushing trivia answers down the loo, or forcing parents to taste ruskeakastike, the gloopy brown gravy she insists is Finland’s gift to cuisine.
The show’s engine is speed. In “Bedroom Bonanza” the first kid back with, say, ‘something you’d hate to give away’ pockets three Samojis; in “Toilet Takedown” the fastest flush wins the right to guess how many loos Wembley holds. Series 2 added “Kitchen Lol-ympics” and replaced the YouTube parody LooTube with “Wind-Up Warriors”, but the prize stayed the same: a branded jumper for the winner, a ruskeakastike-coloured cap for the runners-up.
Twenty Twenty Kids shot 35 episodes across two runs, airing weekdays on CBBC between 13 February 2017 and 16 March 2018. Each child competed from home, turning the franchise into a low-budget lockdown forerunner that let viewers judge rival bedrooms in real time.
