Boys and Girls alone (on C4 Tuesday)

[CherryChoc]

Is anyone going to watch this? It's basically 10 girls in a house and 10 boys in another with no adults (so a sort of big brother for children)

It sounds a bit grim but I just saw the trailer and the kids look happy enough - am I underestimating 8-11 year olds? I don't know any. I just know that at that age I got horribly homesick on a school trip with other children that I knew - let alone being with strangers. Seems like they're wanting it either to turn into something like lord of the flies or the kids to be really mature and surprise everyone.

I am intrigued, shall probably take a look.

There was a programme like this a few years ago - is it a repeat?

We are talking Lord of the Flies, especially with the boys IIRC!

I remember this from a few years back - was fascinating. You really saw who was going to be a certain type of adult; was really tough viewing at times like when they had to cook for themselves but I couldn't turn off.

I don't think it's a repeat, the website doesn't seem to suggest it is.

OOh, I must set the recorder for it!
