Social Experiment

I didn't catch it in the papers (as i do have the habit of forgetting to buy them), but have seen on the news today that the first part of a four part documentary will be broadcast tonight called 'girls and boys alone', or something to that effect. Its a 'social experiment' and two groups of 8 - 11 year olds were basically left to live alone for two weeks. There has been a considerable amount of controversy over it so far, so I'm going to tune in and take a look for myself. Its on channel 4 at 9pm. Should be an interesting watch.

  1. Saw that in the paper but did not watch did you ? Any good ?

  2. Very interesting would be a better description. The attitudes of some of the parents concerned me more than the antics of the children. Obviously - editing always plays a huge part in these types of programmes however 'natural' they are supposed to be. I'm certainly looking forward to the next three instalments.
