Channel 4
The idea of the series is to restore traditional values to families across Britain in order to restore the life/work balance and encourage a return to traditional ways of homemaking, domestic pleasure, childrearing etc. To do this they are looking for up to three older ladies to present the show and impart their values to modern families. The ladies should have strong views on discipline, relationships, traditional gender roles, house keeping and parenting. If you are interested in taking part, please contact the producer Neil Smith on 020 7907 0876 or email neil.smith@betty.co.uk
