Wise Up was a British factual children's television programme broadcast for nine series on Sunday mornings[1] between 1995 and 2000 on Channel 4 (UK) and T4. It was produced by Carlton Productions, and was directed by Martin Wallace. As well as reports, there were also regular features such as a feature called Knowing Me, Knowing You.[2] It was similar to a BBC programme called Ipso Facto.[3][4]
In December 1999 there was an hour-long special called Wise Up: Teenagers on the Line[5] in which a 15-year-old girl travelled from London to Paris and Bamako, Mali to explore teenage life in different countries each on the Greenwich Meridian Line.
