Beat the Boss is a BBC children's TV programme in the UK, presented by Saira Khan. Two teams, one children's team named "The Bright Sparks", and one adult team named "The Big Shots", have to create a product that will appeal to the children's market. At the end of each episode, a panel of children vote for their favourite product and the team with the most votes wins a limousine ride home while the losers take the bus.

[edit] Comic Relief does Beat the Boss
A special version of Beat the Boss was shown before Red Nose Day 2007. It involved The Bright Sparks and a celebrity team of The Big Shots comprising of Joe Pasquale, Duncan Bannatyne and Chantelle Preston. The teams had to design a suit for Lenny Henry to wear on the night. Viewers were asked to phone in and vote for their favourite. During Red Nose Day 2007, Saira Khan and the two teams were on the stage, and Saira Khan announced that the winners were "The Bright Sparks", Lenny Henry came from backstage wearing the designed suit.
