The Big Spell(2017)

The Big Spell is a British competition series where the country's brightest young spellers, aged nine to 13, tackle word-based games and challenges that test speed, skill, and quick thinking. Contestants must deconstruct and spell words many have never encountered before, pushing their vocabulary and nerve to the limit. Sue Perkins hosts the main stage action, while comedian Joe Lycett captures the behind-the-scenes tension as youngsters and their parents prepare for their moments. Newsreader Moira Stuart officiates as the show's pronouncer, keeping competitors honest. The series combines the thrill of live competition with the humour of watching bright kids under pressure, making it entertaining for families and word lovers alike.
