Little Monsters was a game show on Sky 1 that I appeared on in 2003.

It was on during the holidays and was a family show where five children had the chance to do what every child dreams of... torture 5 helpless adults as they fight for a chance to win £1000. It is great fun to watch. If you search 'Little Monsters Game Show' on YouTube you can find many trailers and extracts from the show.

If Lord of The Flies taught us one thing, it was don’t leave little boys in control of anything (well that and only the holder of the conch can speak, unless of course you’re on the mountain).

We take one group of five real-life Bart Simpsons and engage their sense of spite and malevolence by giving them control over the fates of a group of five adults. The boys get to decide what the adults have to do to amuse and entertain them for the day.

The kids force the adults to perform a number of tasks and challenges and then judge their efforts.

The show follows a basic elimination structure where the kids decide who stays and goes. The winner will be rewarded for their effort with a £1000 cash prize each week. We let the kids run wild, and welcome you into the wonderful world that is the mind of the 10 year old boy
