Boys and Girls Alone ... life without adults for two weeks

Newest Review: ... children take no time to separate out who will be sleeping where. This is where the children's personalities really start to come out. The older and bossier girls immediately take the biggest house and the younger girls get the smaller houses. The boys are a bit more civilised with getting their bedrooms but they are the first to start playing when they find all the play equipment in the ... more

When I first watched this programme I found it slightly uncomfortable but I have been slowly getting into it. I think a similar experiment has been done before as I remember seeing something like this a few years ago. I think the children may have been slightly older though. The programme is about as the title suggests boys and girls being alone. A group of girls between 8 and 12 are put into a house and the same with a group of boys in a house a mile away from the girls. The children have been left to fend for their selves although their parents are watching their every moves on cameras in rooms outside of the houses. They also have got people along with the ...

I don't know why 'Boys and Girls Alone' is entertaining, but it is. Essentially, you are basically being asked to watch 10 boys and 10 girls try to live together like adults.

The show is a unique idea and not something I believe has been attempted before. The idea behind the show is to try and educate the children in the realities of life and running a household.

I was disappointed when I missed the first episode of boys and girls alone. The program is on channel 4 at 9 pm on a Tuesday night there are 10 boys in one village and 10 boys in another village for two weeks. The children are aged between eight and eleven years old. The aim of the social experiment is to see who builds the best village. One of the boys got home sick and went home during the episode I missed. The villages have a leader that they decided among themselves. The second episode was starts on the 4th day of the experiment. They have no food but they have money! This episode is to see what they do with the money as the parents watch them on camera ... Read the complete review
