Each episode features a different theme, such as bones, blood, and the brain. The hosts use fun experiments, demonstrations, and even real-life surgeries to help kids understand how the body works.

One of the most popular segments of the show is "Operation Takeover," in which a group of children take over a hospital for a day to learn about the different jobs and roles of healthcare professionals.

The show also includes guest appearances from doctors and scientists, who explain complex medical concepts in a way that kids can understand. They discuss topics like DNA, viruses, and the immune system, using simple language and fun visuals to make the information more accessible.

Throughout the show, the hosts emphasize the importance of safety and caution when dealing with medical issues. They encourage viewers to seek professional medical advice if they have any concerns or health problems.

Operation Ouch! has been praised for its ability to make medical science fun and engaging for kids. It has won several awards, including a BAFTA Children's Award for Best Factual Series, and has been a hit with both kids and adults around the world.

The show has also spawned several spin-offs and specials, including Operation Ouch! Hospital Takeover, in which the hosts take over a real hospital to teach kids about healthcare, and Operation Ouch! Christmas Special, which explores the science behind Christmas traditions.

Overall, Operation Ouch! is a fun and informative show that teaches kids about the human body and medical science in a way that is engaging and accessible. With its lively hosts, exciting experiments, and helpful tips, it has become a beloved staple of children's television.
