Wife Sawp on ch4

[gerry]

I posted this question last night but this morning it seems to have disappeared.I've checked the other forums but couldn't find it.Anyway i'll ask again.Has there ever been an episode of this where one family or both familes don't have children?

If this would be the case, there would be no point in filming the show.

not really cos its called wife swap not  mother swap u dont need kids to b a wife would b interesting though

I would agree with the first answer. the dynamic of the show depends on children reacting to different situations in a more overt way - adults are far more adept at making the best of things, and keeping their opinions hidden. Similarly, a childless couple would be far more adaptable and less routine based. the entire thrust of the programme depends of taking families out of their well established and secure routines, and dropping them into somethng entirely new, so the viewing public can point and laugh.

Well the show isn't called "Mum Swap".I believe the show is really about what kind of releationship the husband & wife have with each other.So i don't see where the kids fit into the equation.

There was a celebrity wife swap with Jade Goody and her boyfried Jeff and they didn't have kids at the time.
