Format

edit

In each episode, the characters have a day at Daisy's house and during each of their life situations, Daisy (Sarah Hadland) and Ollie (Claire Morgan) ask Daisy’s Daddy (Jason Manford) a question (said question is also the title of each episode). After they've found out the answer to this question, they sing the Questions song and Daddy gives advice to the viewers about the question and signs off.

In some episodes, there are special guest appearances from other famous TV stars like Paddy McGuinness, Kirsty McKay, Paul Grunert, and Romesh Ranganathan, along with Take That member and performer Gary Barlow, all appearing as cartoon caricatures of themselves.
