BRITAIN’S BEST PARENT?
Channel 4, 8.05pm
EVERYONE has an opinion on the right way to bring up kids – friends, family, even nosy neighbours or complete strangers can stick their oar in. But which is the best parenting method?
In this bizarre series, Anita Rani explores different styles by means of a contest to crown the best parents, as voted for by a judgy audience.
Each episode sees three sets of uber confident parents, all with distinct approaches, look after each other’s kids for a day. Then they come together to watch back what happened, make their case and criticise each other.
This time Joana plugs her gender-fluid parenting to five-year-old son Willow, while Robin and Rin promote their Eastern influence approach for their two children, and Kevin and Kerry showcase their hands-off ‘lazy parenting’ style.
Of course it’s ridiculous as no one’s style can really be ‘best’, but this is one of those astounding hands-over-face shows you just can’t switch off.
