Looks interesting.

haven't watched this show in ages had forgotton how they made it confrontational

last week's was shocking - very unpleasant man who was very controlling.

well they are out there this jon bloke may be one

The family with 8 children, they were on another programme a few years ago with Nadia swhalia(sp) It was on BBC1 in the morning.

they smack their children, so obviously that will be a contentious issue.

sorry, x post with octavia - the family with the little boys smack their children, not the larger family.

ye'd need a fierce amount of arms to smack eight!

what was the BBC programme about, octavia?

four dogs and eight children makes for a very busy household.

It was a lifestyle swap,this family swapped with another family who were better off.They swapped houses,jobs, schools and lived each others lives with their own families iyswim.

ah right - they're old hands at this fly-on-the-wall tv lark then.

seems so ! Its quite interesting to see how they have changed.

Octavia whats changed about them?

don't really understand hwo people could go on programmes like this. Of course my family isn't perfect and we have our bad points but don't need someone else coming into my house and pointing them out to the nation on tv.
maybe very hypocritical as love watching this....

For those wondering, BBC programme was Family Xchange, Season 1.

oooh worms turning

he is very passive aggressive

oh hes horrible.
Dont like her swearing in front of the children though.

and childish.

and he has "pointful" things to do.

bless those two little boys though

he's a dickhead

good for her, she's taken the boys out for tea.

wanker

all the kids are nice in both families

I saw that, octavia and nannynick!

Am not really watching wife swap now, however, as I have an internet to read.

hardly fair to lay the fact that she's going home early on the children.

she is a bit wet - and she did throw Shannon's dog, so unsurprising that Shannon got cross.
