The six remaining spoilt brats are forced to work a day's labour on a farm in Hampshire.

Pampered teenagers compete in real-life challenges set by their parents. The six remaining spoilt brats experience hard graft when they are forced to work a day's labour on a farm.

Can parents of spoilt teenagers and twentysomethings reverse the years of over-indulging and mollycoddling?  

Thanks to them their kids have become bone idle, workshy and devoid of life skills. Now these parents have had enough. They want to fast-track their overprotected brats into fully functioning, independent adults using real-life challenges in just four weeks.

With the prize of a round-the-world trip on offer, these eight 17- to 25-year-olds give up their home comforts for a house in south-east London where they must fend for themselves for the first time - cooking, cleaning and, worst of all for them, working. Each episode, the most useless kid is ejected by the people who made them what they are: their parents. 

The six remaining spoilt brats experience the first hard graft of their lives when they are forced to work a day's labour on a farm in the depths of Hampshire.

Reluctant to clean up after themselves, they turn on each other and the house becomes divided, with Nicky and Rachel on one side and Dogan, Dina and Sean on the other. Confronted by Dina about her lack of hygiene and domestic cleanliness, Rachel is determined to prove to the house that she is not the dirty girl they think she is, and attempts something she has never done before - to use the washing machine.  

At the farm, Nicky is true to form and pleads to quit as soon as the going gets tough; Dina confronts her worst fear in the form of a meat cleaver; and Danielle's inability to get to grips with pie-making nearly leaves a restaurant full of hungry customers without any supper.

16: Too Young to Vote

04/08/2009

BBC Three - 16: Too Young to Vote

Documentary which attempts to find out whether 16-year-olds should be allowed to vote.

Teenage actress Melissa Suffield journeys around the UK to find out whether 16-year-olds should get the vote, meeting young protesters and newly-enfranchised citizens on the way.

Actress Melissa Suffield plays teenage tearaway Lucy Beale in EastEnders, a character famous for her bad behaviour. But now Melissa is coming of age - she has turned 16, is paying tax and is leaving school - and thinks she wants a say in how things are run. So she hits the road to find out whether 16-year-olds should get the vote.

On her journey across Britain, Melissa meets teenage protesters, the mother of a 17-year-old soldier killed in Iraq and new citizens who have just won the right to vote. There are tears in a polling station, filming is stopped in the Houses of Parliament and Melissa visits the first country in Europe to grant all 16-year-olds the vote.

At a time when our interest in politics has never been so high and our respect for politicians has never been so low, is giving 16-year-olds the right to vote the best way to refresh democracy?

Sixteen: Too Young to Vote?

EastEnders actress Melissa Suffield investigates why the right to vote remains reserved for those aged 18 and above, travelling around Britain to canvass opinion.

Baby Beauty Queens

BBC Three - Baby Beauty Queens

Documentary following three girls in the lead-up to the final of the Mini Miss UK contest.

Documentary about children's beauty pageants, following three girls and their mothers in the lead-up to the final of the first-ever Mini Miss UK contest in Milton Keynes.

As the American phenomenon of the children's beauty pageant hits the UK, this documentary uncovers a surreal new world where nine-year-olds get fake tans and seven-year-olds wear contact lenses. 

With the grand final of the first-ever Mini Miss UK beauty contest taking place at a leisure centre in Milton Keynes, it soon becomes clear that tantrums and tiaras may prevail over perfect poses and pouts. The mastermind behind the pageant is a middle-aged ex-beauty queen, who plans the entire event from her stairwell in Colchester. 

The film follows three girls and their mothers in the lead-up to the big event, and as they prepare to dazzle the judges the real reasons why they are desperate to be crowned Mini Miss UK become apparent. From the evangelical Christians who are convinced that God will help them win the pageant, to the disadvantaged kid for whom the contest holds the key to a better life, the film portrays an eccentric, and at times disturbing, snapshot of modern Britain.
