Wife Swap

The Orchards and the Sinclares

The Orchards

Pampered mum Karen Orchard is a complete stranger to the kitchen, so in the Orchard house, it's dutiful house-husband Jason who not only takes care of all the housework, but also cooks the family meals too.

At just 24, Jason looks after Karen's every need while she works part time at a weight-loss company. And when it comes to her two children, Karen has help there too - Karen's mum and stepdad live in the same house to help care for the kids.

Over in Middlesex things couldn't be more different. Devoted wife Andrea Sinclare is so put upon that she is expected to be waiting on the driveway with refreshments for husband Colin as soon as he arrives home from work. And that's just one of Andrea's many duties.

She does all the washing, cooking, and cleaning. And the standards are so high in the Sinclare household, that even after 20 years of marriage, husband Colin will phone home regularly just to make sure Andrea does it all properly.

How will house-slave Andrea cope with a man taking care of her for a change, and how will domineering husband Colin react when his extreme demands in the house are not met?
