The Family on Ch4 now

[Stu]

I don't get it?
Is it for real?
Is the daughter & Mother real Mum & Daughter?

First time I saw that program I couldn't work it out, sort of reminded me of the first time I saw the office by mistake.

So it's drama then?
Not reality?

No I think it is reality, it is just cringe worthy and when I first saw the office thats how it felt.

Trust me its a reality, a bloke I work with his son knows that father. They only live down the road from us.

Yup its all real. CH4 are supposed to be filiming the family for 100 days and 100 nights in order to capture a typical family as well as some milestones i.e. daughter starting school, the son growing up fast etc...

I think its interesting to watch. Some bits make you cringe and other bits make you think "hmmm". Some might argue its like big brother but I don't think thats true. This programme seems to provide an insight into an everyday family in order to learn (maybe?) whereas big brother was just a fame game

been watching it for 5 weeks now, it has been intersting to watch catherine evaluate it from a Psychological level, whilst i point and laugh, the only issue i have is that I am not convinced it is timelined correctly.....

but thats because i am a sceptic

5 weeks I'd never heard of it. But I can see it being quite addictive like original Big Brother. So it's obviously edited, but is it real time, happening now (as I saw them have a fire in the fireplace) or is it finished recording already?
