Election

Episode 6: Debating

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One LondonLatest broadcast: on CBBC Channel

Imagine if kids ruled the world. What a place that would be! In the sixth episode of the children's reality series Election, CBBC continues its search to find a true leader among the kids of the UK. The series is presented by Angellica Bell, and in this sixth programme the remaining candidates have to learn about debating.

Ann Widdecombe is famous for giving journalists a tough time, but here she grills our candidates on embarrassing stories she has found out about them from talking to their parents. Plus the candidates go on the BBC's flagship current affairs programme Newsnight to have a debate with Emily Maitlis about the controversial teen deterrent, the Mosquito.

As ever, their skills will be watched and assessed by Jonathan Dimbleby, the series judge. And yet again, one of our budding leaders will have to go home when Jonathan utters his catchphrase line "Your campaign's over". Show less
