To celebrate the arrive of the latest selection of kids TV pilots from Amazon Studios, Britain's youngest group of TV critics has been assembled to gauge their reactions. Putting the viewer at the heart of the decision making process, Amazon Studios allows TV fans of all ages -- including kids -- to watch, rate and review pilot episodes with their feedback being used to help decide which shows are made into full seasons.
The panel, comprised of the harshest critics of all, kids, put the latest batch of pilots through their paces, watching the five shows currently available to stream on Prime Instant Video, with their reactions captured on camera.
Helen Cowley, Head of Programming at Amazon Prime Instant Video, UK said; "With Amazon Studios we're giving TV fans of all ages the chance to have their say on the shows they'll be watching in the future. Children are spoilt for choice when it comes to great entertainment, so it's exciting to see them so animated with the TV pilots!".
