Wife Swap

The Ahmeds and the Escotts

Watch this episode now on 4oD escotts-and-ahmeds

Nuzhat Ahmed is the mother in a devout Muslim Pakistani family who pray five times a day. The backbone of their family philosophy is based on Islamic principles and their three teenage children are well-mannered, work hard and very respectful of their parents' wishes.

Supermum Nuzhat works full time, studies, manages all the cooking and household chores, and keeps a keen eye on what her children are doing.

Deborah Escott works as an admin director for a theatre company and is the sole breadwinner in her liberal family. Husband Andy is a musician and house-husband who looks after their three-year-old daughter Emily and 16-year-old Becky, Debs's daughter from a previous relationship. Becky has recently come out as a lesbian.

Will these two very different mums ever see eye to eye? How will husband Shakil react when Deborah arranges for his two teenage daughters to attend a live music gig and how does Nuzhat deal with a rebellious teenage daughter whose sexuality is a direct challenge to her religious beliefs?
