The World's Strictest Parents (or World's Strictest Parents) is an international television franchise reality series developed by TwentyTwenty Television with its original broadcast in Britain by the BBC. The success of the program led to many overseas versions being created including in the Americas (broadcast by CMT) (part of MTV Networks) the CMT episodes frequently rebroadcasting on MTV. There are also many other international foreign versions (listed below) including an Australian version, a New Zealand version, and a German (German language)-version titled "Die strengsten Eltern der Welt" (The Strictest Parents of the World). As well other locales to have locally produced adaptations include Scandinavia, Turkey, and Poland.
The series won an International Emmy Award for best Non-Scripted Entertainment. The concept is that two unruly teenagers are sent to live with a strict host family either locally or abroad for a week in an attempt to change their attitudes, outlooks, and behaviors in general. During the week they receive an impact letter from their real parents with a list of issues they should try to resolve.
Unruly British teenagers are sent to live with strict families in an experiment to try to change their behavior. Generally they spend 10 days, later 7 days, with their host parents trying to live by the latter's rules.
All series episodes were broadcast on a weekly basis.
Series two premiered on BBC Three on 15 October 2009 and ran to 17 December.
This episode was aired as an Australian episode and narrated by Axle Whitehead.
Series three premiered on BBC Three on 11 October 2010, the show returned for an 11-episode run. Whilst not formally announced, it appears the teens now spend a week with their adopted families rather than the 10 days in the two previous series. Each episode aired at 9:00pm on BBC Three and was repeated at various times over the following week. It was also moved to a Monday.
