From pregnancy and toddler tantrums through to school and the teenage years, each chapter covers a different era of a child’s development and a different challenge for parents to face! Whether you're childproofing your house or picking the right school, dads at any stage of parenting will find a veritable treasure trove of facts and tips.

More about the BBC show…

The show that delivers!

In preparation for fatherhood, the eight dads-to-be will be put through a series of weekly ‘Dad Assignments’. Whether it’s changing the nappies of a group of bouncing babies or teaching a seventeen year old to drive, these assignments will cram eighteen years of parenting into just ten weeks.

Each weekday evening, a BBC 3 programme will catch up on the highs and lows of the day’s events and every night we’ll see how the expectant dads are coping. We will even see how they’re performing in the eyes of the mothers-to-be. Will there be tears before bedtime or will a super-dad be uncovered?
