The Likely Dads

Series 2

Discipline

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FM

Available for over a year

The Likely Dads are back for a second series to discuss parenting from the paternal perspective. Host Tim Vincent and regular panelists Mick Ferry and Russell Kane return a little older (definitely) and a little wiser (debatable) to talk about their experiences of fatherhood so far.

In the first episode of the new series Tim, Mick and Russell discuss how discipline has evolved from a time when being told off by a stranger was socially acceptable and a clip round the ear was a daily occurrence to the concept of parents not saying "no" and that modern-day gem, the naughty step.

"Mick & Russell's Dad Off" returns, where the regulars are pitted against each other in a series of hypothetical parenting situations, and a new feature sees Tim reveal an anonymous fact about one of our Likely Dads for the panel to guess who it's attributed to.

Our guests joining Tim, Mick and Russell this week are comedians Britain's Got Talent finalist Nabil Abdulrashid and award-winning Alun Cochrane.

The Producers: Kurt Brookes and Ashley Byrne
