Against all odds is a new CBBC series which will hit your screens in Spring 2000. It will feature dramatic reconstructions, exploring the real life dramas and emergencies that children find themselves in, and get themselves and others out of every year.

We are currently looking for children who have shown tremendous courage and presence of mind in a potentially terrible situation.

For example a child who has called the emergency services on spotting a fire, or helped someone who is having an epileptic fit, or rescued a helpless animal in an emergency.
