The Family on Ch4 now
 

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? :confused:
Not reality?

Re: The Family on Ch4 now
 

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

Re: The Family on Ch4 now
 

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

Picture of family bliss :D yup I'd want everyone to see that :roll:

Re: The Family on Ch4 now
 

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 :shock: 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?
