³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE
Angels on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE
"Little Angels should be compulsory viewing for all parents… We
parents get no training - we just muddle through on the job. But this
show could seriously reduce the amount of screaming, scolding and smacking
in homes up and down the country." (Ulrika Jonsson,
News of the World)
Clinical psychologist, Dr Tanya Byron, has become
a saviour to mums and dads across the country who are struggling to
cope with unruly toddlers and demanding young children.
Since Little Angels premiered on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE in 2004, the series has
proven invaluable to anyone dealing with problematic young children,
from nursery nurses to teachers, child support workers to harassed mums,
dads and grandparents.
In 2005 Dr Tanya Byron will offer help to more families proving that,
with the right techniques, teenage traumas can be overcome.
Continuing in the unique Little Angels tradition, Tanya will provide
a helpful and timely word in the ear to parents via a radio receiver
as they deal with angst-ridden adolescents in Teen Angels.
Little Angels
Little Angels returns to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE in 2005, providing more family dilemmas
for Tanya and the series' new experts, psychotherapist Rachel
Morris and clinical psychologist Dr Stephen Briers.
From dealing with boisterous defiant young children who fight all the
time, to controlling children who refuse to go to bed, Little Angels
provides very practical advice to parents on what they need to do to
soothe their own family tensions.
The series is accompanied by a new Little Angels book in 2005 and further
information on the series, including Tanya's top tips, can be found
at bbc.co.uk/bbcthree.
Little Angels is a ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ production for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE.

Teen Angels
Having successfully devised the most effective techniques for dealing
with the troublesome toddler in Little Angels, Dr Tanya Byron
and Dr Stephen Briers turn their expertise to what
is arguably the most awkward and challenging of the species - the hormone-ridden,
truculent, confused human being that is the teenager.
In Teen Angels the two expert clinical psychologists try to help families
and their teenagers by offering objective insights into their interactions
and suggesting new, more constructive modes of behaviour for the whole
family.
The challenge is to see whether, with professional advice in their
ear, families can turn potentially explosive situations around.
It's a learning experience for all as they analyse their own actions
to find out what is the trigger for trouble.

Who Rules the Roost?
It's hard for today's working mums and dads to 'have it all' - there
are childminders and bosses to deal with and the housework to do, and
when that's all sorted, there's precious little time left for the kids.
Many working mums and dads love their jobs but miss their kids.
They feel guilty that they don't spend more time with their children
but worry about giving up the income and personal satisfaction that
work brings them.
What do you do when work leaves you too tired to cope with the children?
Over four weeks in Who Rules the Roost?, mum and dad take it in turns
to give up work and become their children's full-time carers.
That means coping 24 hours a day, seven days a week with endless piles
of laundry, demands for food and keeping their tiny offspring entertained.
Since it started in 2003, Who Rules the Roost? has struck a chord with
working parents and has given several families the chance to find a
solution by radically changing their lives.
Addressing the reality of modern parenting, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE shows working
parents that they are not alone in finding it hard to cope with the
conflicting demands of work and home life.
Who Rules the Roost? is a Ricochet production for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE.

Midwives - The Laughter
and the Tears
The miracle of new life is explored from the perspective of those who
must deliver it in Midwives - The Laughter and the Tears, a new series
for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE which follows midwives in their work at Derby City Hospital.
No two births are the same and a typical shift on the labour ward brings
a succession of different cases for the staff undertaking one of most
rewarding jobs of all.
But delivering babies is far from easy as midwives contend with the
mums who are 'too posh to push' and those who ignore their doctor's
warnings and insist on home births, against the odds.
From dealing with teenage pregnancies to helping mums with alcohol
and drug addictions, confronting inner-city and cross-cultural problems
during home visits, and handling marathon labours and overactive babies,
these midwives have their work cut out.
The series also follows one of the few male midwives in the country
to see how he copes in a traditionally female-based industry.
Midwives - The Laughter and the Tears is a ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ production for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE.

The Week the Women
Went (working title)
Award-winning documentary maker Nick Mirsky (Blood on the Carpet, When
Michael Portillo Became a Single Mum) and Kelly Webb-Lamb (Back to the
Floor, I'll Show them Who's Boss) have been commissioned by ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE
to make an ambitious observational documentary series looking at how
an English village community copes when all the women are taken away
for one week.
This is an intriguing social experiment designed to see how a community
of men rise to the challenge of filling all the roles in village life.
Are these tasks the men are already comfortable with, or will the experiment
suggest that men cannot cope with the daily grind of running the family
home and getting the kids to school on time?
What happens to the mother and toddler groups, the community events
and the social clubs when the women who normally run them leave it to
their husbands?
The Week the Women Went (working title) is a ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ production for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ
THREE.
