Birmingham couple Chris and Ray enjoy a marriage with a difference - they enjoy being intimate not just with each other, but with other consenting adults too. Chris and Ray are real-life wife-swappers.
Chris and Ray have a liberal approach to family life too, and with no rules and discipline in the house the kids are free to do what they want. This means that 19-year-old daughter Sam is free to work as a pole dancer in the evenings, leaving mum Chris to take care of baby Jessica.
The Ramseys enjoy take-out food most nights and despite her demanding job as a nurse, it's mum Chris who goes out to get the family meals and clears up afterwards.
Over in Nottingham, there's not a take-away menu in sight. The Green family are fit, highly ambitious and very disciplined. Mum Tracey and step dad Ben have a goal for 11-year-old daughter Sharntay Green to swim in the 2012 Olympics. They devote all their time to try to achieve this dream.
Sharntay's gruelling swimming schedule dominates the entire family routine; both Tracey and Ben take equal responsibility for keeping the swimming programme on course, sharing all the household chores too. There's little free time for Sharntay as she spends most of her evenings training at the pool.
How will a tough disciplinarian dad cope when he is forced to spoil his daughter, and how will a laid-back dad cope when he is forced to get tough with his kids? How will the Ramsey kids cope without TV and take-away food? What will happen when Tracey confronts the Ramseys about their real wife-swapping antics?
