The junior version of the phenomenal Grandmaster puts children in the limelight! The basic idea of the program is the same as for adults: children compete in tasks that require intelligence, skill and wit prepared by the Grand Master. There will be speed and even wild situations, as well as downright sharp analysis in the studio. Jaakko Saariluoma is rightfully the grandmaster, and his right-hand man is judge Pilvi Hämäläinen.
Karpolla on asiaa was a popular Finnish television show with a journalistic touch. It was hosted by reporter Hannu Karpo and produced by his Pallosalama OY production company. The show ran from 1981 to 2007 on MTV3. The show also featured occasional appearances by Karpo's son, Sampo.
The show's essential idea was that Karpo would report on the various things he saw wrong about Finnish society and have "the people's story heard" by reporting how certain people in Finnish society were suffering from public oversight and abuse, and were unable to do anything to resolve their predicament. Karpo would famously and openly award his interviewees with piece of smoked reindeer or an encased 100 mk bill for speaking out.
