Oh god...

I hope this is strictly documentary...?

I cant remember the name exactly, but I remember hearing of a similar format show running in America about two years ago. It was an x-factor format (not quite as humiliating) audition-screening of children for placement.

I'll have to look into it though, I hadn't thought of it in almost two years....

Sounds interesting, provided they give some depth to the policy dimensions of placement for comparison.
