I saw the programme trailer and needed to watch.
I couldn't see how any parent could allow a baby to be loaned ....let alone get both parents to agree.
The set up (for those who didn't watch)was that the new parents all lived in a single street, the parents were monitoring every move from another house in the street, with the option of intervening at any time. There was also a Nanny in attendance inside the houses with the each pair of pretend parents, should any emergencies occur that might need a fast reaction.
I watched it with some misgivings.but over all it was revealing.
The set up proved to be too false, there couldn't be that settling in period to adjust to the cameras presence.....so most of the immature teens were acting up to the cameras.
But the seriousness of having to care for a helpless baby was made very clear.
The first progamme always has to set up the whole scene , I will try to catch the next one.
