A class of parents are invited back to primary school to experience what life is really like in the classroom today.
In this BAFTA nominated, four-part series, The Class of Mum and Dad, the school gates are opened and 17 parents are sent back to primary school to study the same curriculum and experience the same regime and rules as their children - including wearing school uniform, eating school dinners, completing homework, sitting SATS exams and being sent to the Head Teacher's office.
The series also won an Royal Television Society Scotland Award in 2019.
