Clever v Stupid

Episode 7: Cabin Crew

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC ThreeLatest broadcast: on BBC Three

Matt Edmondson presents a provocative and funny studio game show, which uses unusual tasks and surprising games to challenge the way we look at intelligence.

In each show a team of academically brilliant young people, the 'Clevers' take on a team who some might think are a little bit 'Stupid'. The two teams face quirky challenges that test all different areas of their intelligence, rather than simply measuring IQ and conventional intelligence. With the help of psychologists, the games have been designed to level the playing field between the two teams, making it a fair fight.

Using games based on psychological research the show tests the teams' creativity, their emotional intelligence, their physical dexterity and practical skills.

The winner is decided in a dramatic final round called The Ultimate Mind Game that uses state of the art equipment to test the contestants' brainpower and focus.

A team of four flight attendants go up against a Latin master, a maths genius, a quiz mistress and a doctor of pharmacology. The cabin crew want to prove their heads are not stuck in the clouds.

Among the games - the teams must use their emotional intelligence to persuade a little girl to give them her cake; show physical dexterity when playing football while wearing goggles that turn the world upside down; and get creative by coming up with convincing rhymes and performing a rap battle against their opposition.
