Julie Young and her teetotal husband Tim are both Labour party councillors, and politics is top of the family agenda.
Their family life is constantly interrupted by constituents who need their help, which means the needs of 10-year-old Kier, 14-year-old Matilda and 16-year-old Harriet often end up coming second.
Housewife Tina Griffiths likes to look good. She spends money on designer gear, spends two hours a day at the gym and has four sunbed sessions a week.
Tina, who likes to be seen driving her top-of-the-range sports car, is expected to do everything around the house and look after the kids, while husband Dean spends his days at the golf club.
The family - 10-year-old twins Paige and Kelly and Tina's sons from a previous relationship, Gareth, 17, and Craig, 15 - rarely come together in the family home.
How does politician Julie cope with Dean, a father who spends more time playing golf than with his kids? And how does Tina react to taking on the duties of a local politician, which include dealing with complaints about vandalism and yobbish behaviour?
