Parent Trap

Parent Trap finds out how a fully-fledged adult would cope if their parents re-entered their life on a full-time basis.

That means living with them, going to work with them, socialising, relaxing, and eating with them, even going on dates with them.

As well as examining the minutiae of life - the washing up, the tidiness, the way we spend our money - Parent Trap will also bring the generations together to explore each others beliefs and attitudes on wider themes such as religion, career, family, and sexuality.

Little Angels

The new series presents a variety of cases for clinical psychologist Dr Tanya Byron, well known for her effective approach to family dilemmas.

From dealing with boisterous, defiant young children who fight all the time, to controlling children who refuse to go to bed, Tanya offers frank advice on what the parents need to do to change.

Using a hands-on technique Tanya sets new behavioural programmes for the whole family to follow and gives the parents frank advice via a radio receiver as they interact with their children during difficult situations.

Who Rules The Roost

This series gives working parents the opportunity to find out if they could cope if one of them gave up work permanently to look after their kids.

Over several weeks, they take turns to be the full-time carer. That means coping 24/7 with the cleaning, piles of laundry and food demands whilst keeping their little darlings entertained!

At the end of the experiment they must decide whether one of them should give up work, go part-time, or whether they're simply not cut out for full-time parenthood.

The original series is now going out on BBC ONE with an update on how the families are getting on straight after on BBC THREE.

Series two comes to BBC THREE this Autumn.
