Its on BBC 3, at 10:30 and repeated at 1:15 am for those of you who are up in the night

honeycookiebear · 09/01/2007 18:28

Oh teenagers! I was one of those once...

Pinkchampagne · 09/01/2007 18:29

Ohh, can't quite see myself staying up for the second one!

The 1.15am one is the same episode as the 10.30pm one?

Yup! It says on my on screen guide they are both 2 of 8

Pinkchampagne · 09/01/2007 18:33

I don't think the babies are going to be there for long, I've jsut read -

As soon as the babies leave they are replaced by toddlers, one for each of our couples. It's a whole new ball game as they deal with Terrible Twos for three days. Pre-teens follow straight after - this is the first time our teens come across kids who can talk back! All come with pets, and one of the couples have to care for two siblings, while another couple care for three (and their flea-ridden dog)!

It sounds really good, I'm going to have a watch 2n. It's on at 7.30 too.

honeycookiebear · 09/01/2007 18:34

Hold on, theres another one on for half an hous at 7:30 called baby borrowers - family and friends aswell

Kelly1978 · 09/01/2007 18:34

piffle, watch out for the later episodes....

Three days later, our (late-teen) couples will care for young teens (12-14 year olds). Will it hold up a mirror to their relationships with their own parents? Finally, to complete the cycle of life, 'the grandparents' (elderly and infirm) move in. With their 80+ years of experience, care for the elderly will provide a different kind of education and a whole new set of life lessons for the young adults.

Those teens are going to have the shock of their life!!!

Well I'm relieved to know they wont have them too long, separation anxiety can be really hard to deal with for weeks if not months afterwards. Shouldn't be too much of an issue if its just a couple of days

honeycookiebear · 09/01/2007 18:42

I'm sure I wasn't as pathetic as these teens when I was their age, the majority cant work a cooker and ava and fisnik looked as though they'd never seen the inside of a supermarket before.

Pinkchampagne · 09/01/2007 18:44

They all seemed to be planning how many children they were going to have! Think by the end of this little experience, they may not be in too much of a rush!!

time and channel please? sounds fascinating.

Pinkchampagne · 09/01/2007 18:45

10.30pm, BBC3!

OP posts:
honeycookiebear · 09/01/2007 18:46

Hopefully they'll realise its time to have kids when you want to become a Mother (which as we know is for life) rather then when they want a baby (which lasts a couple of years). I wonder how many of them want a teenager?

lulumama · 09/01/2007 18:46

thanks x

Pinkchampagne · 09/01/2007 18:49

Absolutely!
I have a 3 & 7 year old, who spend their whole time squabbling, who I will lend out to them for the day!!

REPEATED @ 7.30pm

BBC3

honeycookiebear · 09/01/2007 18:59

The one at 7:30 seems not to be a repeat. Its only half an hour long and has a different title (family and friends).

Pinkchampagne · 09/01/2007 19:06

Ohh, sounds interesting!

My dd is 18mths and an absolute pleasure ( I say this as she is throwing a tantrum on the bathroom floor because the service in this hotel isn't up to standard lol! (she hasn't learned the bath takes time to fill)

honeycookiebear · 09/01/2007 19:11

I wonder what my dd would make of the teens on the show. I think shed run rings round them and drive them up the wall
