Multicultural Britain needs help. Some people aren't mixing and our cities are becoming increasingly divided. Nowhere is the problem clearer than in Bradford. In this series over a hundred people from Bradford sit the UK citizenship test. Nearly everyone fails. Eight of the individuals who fail are invited to live together and explore what it means to be British. Can people of different races, different religions, and different cultures really live together? Can eight people from different worlds but the same city define what it means to be British in 2012?

British women do twice the amount of childcare than men and nearly half of all mothers feel that their partners don’t do their fair share. The nation’s mums have had enough. In this brand new three-part series, nine men are sent on a crash course in childcare by their long-suffering wives and partners. Sent to work in three busy London nurseries, they’ll tackle every aspect of childcare under the watchful eyes of the nursery staff. Can throwing them in the deep end teach these dysfunctional dads to be better fathers and give their kids the loving, positive male role models they desperately need?
