Against All Odds was a CBBC television show which started being broadcast on BBC1 around Spring 2000. This is largely forgotten with there being little information about the series online, so this article is made up of fragments of information found elsewhere.
The show was hosted by Kate Sanderson and Jake Humphrey. It seems that there was at least two series of the show with the first being set in the UK and the second being set in the US.
