Greenlit: Parenting For Idiots, Channel 4
Parenting for Idiots (3 x 60′) – Shines a humorous spotlight on the ever-widening gap between what parents think bringing a baby in to the world will be like – and the reality of nappies, tantrums, health & safety nightmares and the swearing and drinking often required to get through it all. The series will feature famous mums and dads from Jonathan Ross, Vic Reeves and Freddie Flintoff to Carrie Fisher, Katherine Ryan and Sally Phillips sharing their best war stories. “Child-free” celebs – like Jamie Laing and Janet Street Porter – will also be road testing other people’s children for the first time. It’s a no holds barred account of everything from new-borns, the terrible twos and beyond.
With celebrities at their most candid, the series promises to offer tips for a generation of parents scared to admit they sometimes fail. It will be a celebration of the struggle and an acknowledgment of the long hidden truth that being a parent is wonderful…. but incredibly hard work.
