-One London neighbourhood.

-Two very different kids.

0:00:020:00:07

-What's your school?

-Dulwich College.

-I go to Kingsdale.

0:00:070:00:09

-We hate each other, then!

-Yeah!

0:00:090:00:12

They live streets apart, but their lives have never crossed.

0:00:130:00:17

And that's not unusual.

0:00:170:00:19

All over the UK, people live next to one another,

0:00:190:00:22

but often know little about their neighbours.

0:00:220:00:25

I do wonder sometimes, my family is like this,

0:00:250:00:29

I wonder what the people across the road are like.

0:00:290:00:32

So what happens when two boys are asked by Newsround

0:00:320:00:35

to swap lives for a week?

0:00:350:00:38

Half an hour brushing hair which doesn't exist.

0:00:380:00:41

-It's pretty stupid. It is.

-It's not.

0:00:410:00:44

What will they learn about themselves? Their families?

0:00:440:00:48

Hopefully, when you meet my mum, you won't find her too embarrassing.

0:00:480:00:51

And the community they live in.

0:00:530:00:55

Where I live is more tough than when he lives.

0:00:550:00:58

They'll bring back to their families one thing

0:00:580:01:01

they'd want to change as a result of their experience.

0:01:010:01:05

I am absolutely amazed that that is something

0:01:050:01:08

that you're proposing to take in to your family.

0:01:080:01:11

12-year-old Sachen and Patric live just streets away,

0:01:320:01:36

but have never met.

0:01:360:01:38

All that is about to change, as the two of them

0:01:380:01:41

have agreed to welcome each other into their worlds.

0:01:410:01:44

So, who are they?

0:01:440:01:47

I'm Patric.

0:01:480:01:50

Spelt without a K, as that's the Cornish way. I am 12-years-old.

0:01:500:01:56

He goes to one of the country's best private schools,

0:01:570:02:01

is really into his Christian faith,

0:02:010:02:04

and has friends from all over London.

0:02:040:02:08

Patrick lives with his mum, Claire, dad, Jeremy,

0:02:080:02:11

and sisters, Lois and Miranda.

0:02:110:02:13

And this is his Gran.

0:02:130:02:16

I love my family.

0:02:160:02:17

My parents, I think they'll be together for evermore.

0:02:170:02:21

Patric is a curious child.

0:02:210:02:25

He is very kind and gentle.

0:02:250:02:28

Generous, loving.

0:02:280:02:30

He'll enjoy it, but he'll be nervous about going somewhere else

0:02:300:02:36

and acting as if he's their family.

0:02:360:02:38

Sachen lives around a mile away from Patric.

0:02:420:02:46

I am fun, energetic, friendly,

0:02:460:02:50

great to hang with. Stylish.

0:02:500:02:53

If you don't like me, deal with it.

0:02:530:02:57

Unlike Patric, Sachen goes to his local state school.

0:02:570:03:00

He worships fashion and spends

0:03:000:03:02

his spare time hanging out with his friends locally.

0:03:020:03:06

Do a proper pose! Stop it.

0:03:080:03:10

He lives with mum, Heather, dad, David, and gran, Jenny.

0:03:100:03:14

His grown-up twin sisters,

0:03:140:03:16

Annalicia and Anisa, are always visiting.

0:03:160:03:19

Sachen, he's quite a sociable child and he's quite confident.

0:03:190:03:25

He's almost fearless, won't back down if he feels that he's right.

0:03:250:03:28

Sachen is a warrior. Anything he wants, he'll go for it.

0:03:280:03:33

-That's what I like about him.

-Lovable.

-Energetic!

0:03:330:03:37

Definitely a burst of energy, I'd say.

0:03:370:03:40

He's always on the go, never really stopping to rest.

0:03:400:03:45

Yeah, that's our Sachen, isn't it? That's how he is!

0:03:450:03:48

The boys live in Lewisham,

0:03:480:03:51

one of the most diverse neighbourhoods in London.

0:03:510:03:54

170 languages are spoken here and there is

0:03:540:03:58

a different community round every corner.

0:03:580:04:01

In the next week, the boys will experience a whole new side of life

0:04:010:04:05

in their area, as they are thrown into each other's worlds.

0:04:050:04:08

But first up, a task designed to give each boy

0:04:080:04:11

some clues about who he's going to meet.

0:04:110:04:14

Sachen and Patric must pack five things they think

0:04:140:04:18

best sum them up into a box.

0:04:180:04:20

I am going to put in my skates, I love them with all my heart.

0:04:210:04:25

I will never get a new pair, unless my foot gets bigger.

0:04:250:04:28

Hockey is one of my favourite sports, so this is going in.

0:04:280:04:32

My PS3, best console ever. Black Ops, FIFA 12.

0:04:320:04:36

Got to be careful with that one.

0:04:360:04:38

Drumming is my favourite instrument. I've got an electric kit,

0:04:380:04:42

that's why I'm putting this in the box.

0:04:420:04:45

I'm going to put in this.

0:04:450:04:47

I got this because I got really good on my SATs results,

0:04:470:04:51

so Mum let me get this, and I've loved it ever since.

0:04:510:04:55

We have got a yacht.

0:04:550:04:57

Every summer we go on the boat and sail round the south coast.

0:04:570:05:01

I love sailing.

0:05:010:05:03

Sachen comic. I want to be one of the world's biggest collectors

0:05:030:05:07

when I'm older and sell them all when they're worth a lot.

0:05:070:05:11

This cross was my grandfather's on my dad's side

0:05:130:05:16

and the cross is very special to me

0:05:160:05:19

as one of my only reminders of my grandfather.

0:05:190:05:23

And he was a very nice man, I think.

0:05:230:05:26

Fried chicken.

0:05:270:05:29

He's going to be, why would you put a piece of chicken in there? Voila!

0:05:290:05:34

Everything in here. It's heavy!

0:05:340:05:37

Job done. The boxes are sent.

0:05:400:05:43

And the first day of the swap has arrived.

0:05:430:05:46

Very light.

0:05:470:05:49

It's heavy!

0:05:490:05:51

I wonder what's in that?

0:05:510:05:53

Deep-fried chicken. Food is a very peculiar thing to put in his box.

0:05:580:06:03

I'm actually wondering what this is for.

0:06:030:06:06

It could be anything. Even tying me up with it.

0:06:060:06:10

Oh.

0:06:110:06:12

I think he's going to be good fun.

0:06:120:06:16

I really want to meet the boy.

0:06:160:06:18

The moment has arrived. Sachen and Patric are meeting up

0:06:200:06:25

at a halfway point between their two houses.

0:06:250:06:29

-Hi.

-How are you? My name's Sachen, what's your name?

-Patric.

0:06:320:06:36

-Patric, OK.

-I knew your name was Sachen from the magazine.

-Oh, yeah.

0:06:360:06:43

-What's your school?

-Dulwich College.

-Dulwich College?!

0:06:430:06:46

-I go to Kingsdale.

-Ah, Kingsdale. We hate each other, then!

-Yeah!

0:06:460:06:52

-Fried chicken?

-HE LAUGHS

0:06:530:06:56

That's just part of me! I just love chicken.

0:06:560:06:59

OK, chicken.

0:06:590:07:00

It was exciting.

0:07:020:07:06

Just having a laugh,

0:07:060:07:07

hoping we all spend more time hanging out together.

0:07:070:07:13

A nice guy. Good fashion sense.

0:07:130:07:16

I like the jacket he was wearing. It was nice.

0:07:160:07:20

For the first three days, Sachen will leave his life behind

0:07:210:07:25

to spend time with Patric and his family.

0:07:250:07:28

They might live streets away, but will their lives be worlds apart?

0:07:280:07:32

# When I look in the mirror

0:07:320:07:35

# I don't even recognise myself. #

0:07:350:07:38

-This is my street.

-OK.

-I live just up here.

0:07:380:07:42

Hopefully, when you meet my mum, you won't find her too embarrassing.

0:07:420:07:46

I won't find her embarrassing.

0:07:460:07:48

Oh, no, nobody can beat my mum on embarrassing.

0:07:480:07:50

Wait till you meet my mum.

0:07:500:07:52

I'm just saying, you might like her, you might not.

0:07:520:07:55

Yeah, so this is my house.

0:07:590:08:01

Through here is the sitting room, and there's your box.

0:08:030:08:06

-A ukulele.

-Oh, yeah, a ukulele.

0:08:060:08:10

Yeah, I used to play it, then my little sister used to play it.

0:08:100:08:14

-Now my older sister plays it.

-An accordion.

0:08:140:08:18

Yeah, my little sister plays that.

0:08:180:08:20

Mum, this is Sachen. Mum, Claire.

0:08:200:08:23

-How do you do?

-Hi, Claire.

-Good to meet you.

0:08:230:08:25

-Thank you.

-You've got the sort of face I was hoping you'd have.

0:08:250:08:29

-That... That is just my mum.

-"That's just my mum."

0:08:290:08:32

Move.

0:08:320:08:34

Different.

0:08:370:08:40

His house is filled with instruments.

0:08:400:08:42

My one's filled with computers and stuff.

0:08:420:08:44

He has his own playhouse.

0:08:440:08:46

The boxing bag was great. He must have a lot of things to do here.

0:08:460:08:50

Patric loves to cook, and to welcome Sachen into his home,

0:08:510:08:55

they're going to prepare a big family meal together.

0:08:550:08:59

Ooh, it worked.

0:08:590:09:00

Unlike many families, Patric's family don't rely on the supermarket

0:09:030:09:06

for all of their food,

0:09:060:09:08

so the boys head out to a local high street

0:09:080:09:11

to get all the ingredients for supper.

0:09:110:09:13

Very excited. I've had previous experiences cooking,

0:09:130:09:16

so I'm looking forward to it.

0:09:160:09:18

Hello. What would you like?

0:09:200:09:22

-Beef. Roast beef for seven people - sirloin.

-OK.

-Seven people?!

0:09:230:09:27

-Isn't beef red meat?

-I don't know.

0:09:270:09:30

-Hm.

-But I think it is.

0:09:300:09:32

-I'm going to like it.

-OK. Yeah.

0:09:320:09:36

Sachen rarely shops for food himself and has got a little distracted.

0:09:360:09:42

Sachen's trying to make a deal with the owner.

0:09:420:09:45

I think I deserve an organic sweetie.

0:09:450:09:49

He's trying to get a lollipop out of the shopkeeper.

0:09:490:09:51

It's called hustling.

0:09:510:09:53

If you don't have money to get something, hustle to get it.

0:09:530:09:55

I succeeded!

0:09:550:09:58

With two, actually. There's one for Patric as well.

0:09:590:10:02

-I hope you're good at following orders.

-Yeah, quite good.

0:10:060:10:09

I've never cooked with a bird in the kitchen before.

0:10:100:10:15

Today's been fun. Yeah, shopping with Sachen,

0:10:150:10:18

meeting him for the first time.

0:10:180:10:21

Yeah, he was different than what I expected.

0:10:210:10:23

But yeah, he's really nice and I think we'll get on.

0:10:230:10:28

It's been going quite good. I enjoyed cutting the meat,

0:10:280:10:34

turning the roast potatoes.

0:10:340:10:36

Now the best thing I'm looking forward to is eating it.

0:10:360:10:39

-I think everybody's heard that now, Sachen.

-Yeah, they have.

0:10:450:10:49

The bell, we have nothing like that. We just say, "The food's ready."

0:10:490:10:53

I'm going to have to get one.

0:10:530:10:55

Ah! Some nice potatoes made by Sachen.

0:10:550:10:58

-Shall we all sit down?

-Yeah.

0:10:580:11:00

The bottle? Where's the bottle?

0:11:000:11:02

Heavenly Father, we thank you that we have Sachen with us

0:11:020:11:05

and we pray that you're with us as well.

0:11:050:11:08

Ringing a bell for dinner and sitting round a table

0:11:100:11:13

is very different from eating at Sachen's home.

0:11:130:11:16

We don't sit round a table cos we don't have a table in the house.

0:11:160:11:19

We sit on the couch and watch TV while we eat.

0:11:190:11:23

-You like the food?

-Yeah. Well cooked! Thank you.

0:11:230:11:26

As the first day of the swap draws to a close,

0:11:260:11:30

how has Sachen found life with a boy

0:11:300:11:32

on the other side of his neighbourhood?

0:11:320:11:34

We've got a lot of things in common. We've got barely anything that's not,

0:11:340:11:39

except for cars.

0:11:390:11:40

He don't like Bentleys.

0:11:410:11:44

It's quite strange.

0:11:440:11:46

DRUMS PLAY

0:11:460:11:48

Next day, and Patric's got Sachen

0:11:480:11:51

on his favourite instrument, the drums.

0:11:510:11:54

I'm doing it wrong.

0:11:540:11:56

They're practising to play at a party

0:11:560:11:58

Patric is holding later in the day.

0:11:580:12:01

I love having friends, uh,

0:12:010:12:03

and having lots of parties

0:12:030:12:06

and I hate being by myself.

0:12:060:12:08

Patric has an exciting social life for a 12-year-old.

0:12:100:12:14

His group of friends are allowed to explore different parts of London

0:12:140:12:18

and they've travelled here today from all over town.

0:12:180:12:21

-Hello.

-Hello. 'They'll be different from my friends.'

0:12:210:12:24

You've got to meet someone new in your life.

0:12:240:12:27

You've got to deal with it. They don't like the same things.

0:12:270:12:30

You've got to learn to like new things.

0:12:300:12:32

-OK. One point.

-THEY SHOUT

0:12:340:12:36

Replay point, replay point!

0:12:360:12:39

Everyone's talking about the swap and whether where you live

0:12:390:12:42

makes a difference to who your friends are.

0:12:420:12:45

One thing everyone agrees on is that getting on together

0:12:450:12:48

is much more important than where you come from.

0:12:480:12:52

A lot of people care where people come from.

0:12:520:12:55

It's not just something that adults think about,

0:12:550:12:58

but I wouldn't worry about it

0:12:580:13:00

because I hang out with a lot of people

0:13:000:13:03

who are quite different in terms of where they come from.

0:13:030:13:06

Generally, difference shouldn't be too big an issue

0:13:060:13:09

because as long as you like each other,

0:13:090:13:11

and you enjoy being together, that's fine.

0:13:110:13:14

With the party in full swing,

0:13:140:13:17

it's time for Sachen and Patric's drum duet.

0:13:170:13:20

DRUMS PLAY

0:13:200:13:23

I cannot play the drums at all. That was quite good.

0:13:280:13:31

Horribly!

0:13:310:13:32

I think my friends like him and they just think it's

0:13:320:13:36

an interesting thing to be doing.

0:13:360:13:39

Today has been great. Everything went perfect.

0:13:390:13:42

High points? Everything.

0:13:420:13:44

Low points? None.

0:13:440:13:46

Sachen's time at Patric's is up,

0:13:460:13:49

and he's had so much fun he doesn't want it to end.

0:13:490:13:52

Quite sad. I like it here.

0:13:540:13:57

Sachen's loved loads about Patric's world - the family dinner bell,

0:13:570:14:02

playing with all of Patric's stuff and partying with his friends.

0:14:020:14:07

But he's only allowed one thing he'd change about his own family

0:14:070:14:11

as a result of his time here.

0:14:110:14:13

Now it's Patric's turn to step into Sachen's World.

0:14:150:14:18

-This is where I live.

-OK. Round here?

-Yeah.

0:14:200:14:24

'I guess I'm slightly nervous about meeting his family'

0:14:240:14:27

and seeing what they're like and is his mum as embarrassing as mine?

0:14:270:14:32

-So I'm going to meet your mum and dad now?

-Definitely.

0:14:330:14:37

They're quite a show.

0:14:370:14:39

Welcome to my humble abode.

0:14:390:14:41

-How are you?

-Hello, Patric.

-Hello.

-Nice to meet you.

-And you.

0:14:410:14:45

My bedroom. Sky!

0:14:450:14:48

Flatscreen!

0:14:480:14:49

First up, stylish Sachen wants to show off his clothes.

0:14:490:14:54

I'm very proud of this. Looking good comes in very handy with everything.

0:14:540:14:58

Marriage, wife, girlfriend, anything.

0:14:580:15:01

I'm not looking for that yet. It'll come in handy in the future.

0:15:020:15:06

So you're just going to stand there just doing this all day?

0:15:110:15:16

20 minutes, tops.

0:15:160:15:17

That's half an hour a day brushing hair which does not exist.

0:15:170:15:21

I think it's pretty stupid.

0:15:210:15:24

-It's not!

-It is.

-It's not.

-It is.

-It's not.

-It is.

0:15:240:15:28

Sachen is still not happy with his hair, so he's getting it cut.

0:15:330:15:38

That's your best friend?

0:15:380:15:40

-I've only known him for four days.

-I only met him on Thursday.

-Yeah.

0:15:400:15:45

What? It just seems like he's your friend forever.

0:15:450:15:48

We have to learn after the kids.

0:15:480:15:51

We've got to share love.

0:15:510:15:52

So we share the love, we share it with them.

0:15:520:15:55

Don't matter their colour, their race, don't matter who you are.

0:15:550:15:59

-We've got to spread the love.

-Yeah.

-Like that?

0:15:590:16:03

Another part of Sachen's Saturday routine is lamb neck soup at dinner.

0:16:040:16:09

It's a traditional West Indian meal he's keen to share with Patric.

0:16:090:16:14

That's really nice. I've never had West Indian food before.

0:16:140:16:19

My mum's England, my dad's Jamaican and my grandma's Bajun.

0:16:260:16:30

And my grandad's Indian. And I've got South African in me.

0:16:300:16:33

-OK.

-Yeah, it's important to me about where I come from.

0:16:330:16:36

Because the countries are in me. The countries are me.

0:16:360:16:40

So that's why it's important.

0:16:400:16:42

I haven't really thought about it, about the places that he's from.

0:16:420:16:46

Erm, I was slightly surprised with so many backgrounds.

0:16:460:16:52

Of all over the world, really.

0:16:520:16:53

Um, this first day of the swap I've found it...

0:17:000:17:05

I wouldn't really say fun, because sitting in a barber's was

0:17:050:17:08

slightly boring, but it was interesting to see, that is

0:17:080:17:12

a big part of Sachen's life and that is what he does.

0:17:120:17:16

Next morning, before the boys are allowed out to play - chores.

0:17:270:17:32

-Do you usually do something like this in your house?

-Huh? No, I don't.

0:17:330:17:37

I don't really have a fixed chore for me to do in the mornings.

0:17:370:17:41

I just help my mum where she needs it.

0:17:410:17:44

With the cleaning done, the boys head off

0:17:450:17:48

to Sachen's favourite hangout - the Cage.

0:17:480:17:50

Sachen's friends all live locally and have known each other

0:17:530:17:56

since primary school.

0:17:560:17:58

He's a good friend. He's always there for you, like, if you're in trouble,

0:17:580:18:02

he'll make sure you go to your house and tell your parents

0:18:020:18:05

the right facts and he'll always be there for you as a friend.

0:18:050:18:09

He's just there.

0:18:090:18:10

It's good to know people in case you need their help

0:18:100:18:13

and good to know where people live.

0:18:130:18:16

You have to make sure you make good friends

0:18:160:18:18

so they're always there for you.

0:18:180:18:20

When you make friends, you make links,

0:18:200:18:22

and when you get links, you make money.

0:18:220:18:25

They seem nice. They seem good friends.

0:18:300:18:33

But they seem quite different from mine.

0:18:330:18:36

CHEERING

0:18:360:18:38

It's open house at Sachen's. Friends and family regularly drop round

0:18:410:18:46

for a traditional Sunday lunch of rice and peas.

0:18:460:18:48

It's nice to come around your friend's house and be offered food.

0:18:480:18:53

And just be around this nice environment where nobody is shouting,

0:18:530:18:57

nobody is getting told off.

0:18:570:18:59

It's basically like a whole big family right now.

0:18:590:19:02

They seem to be together a lot more than my family are.

0:19:020:19:08

Like, my dad's at the top of the house, my mum's at the bottom

0:19:080:19:11

and they're always shouting up to each other or something.

0:19:110:19:15

-Lois!

-Yeah?

-Have you done your teeth?

0:19:150:19:19

-Yeah!

-Don't believe you! Can I smell you?

0:19:190:19:21

Everybody's in their own room on different floors

0:19:210:19:26

and they seem to be, like, just a few metres apart and, yeah,

0:19:260:19:31

that's one thing I'd like to change

0:19:310:19:35

but I'm not sure it's going to be possible.

0:19:350:19:38

Sachen loves where he lives, but like so many areas in London

0:19:380:19:42

there is often trouble just round the corner.

0:19:420:19:45

A couple of days earlier there was a shooting near his local shop.

0:19:450:19:49

So with the shooting thing, do you feel safe and everything?

0:19:490:19:52

I do now, but anything could happen, but it's rarely anything happens.

0:19:520:19:57

This was one time. A feud between this gang and another gang.

0:19:570:20:01

Sachen is passionate about improving his community

0:20:070:20:10

and has won awards creating a safe place to play.

0:20:100:20:14

He's keen to get Patric involved in the final phase.

0:20:140:20:17

Before, up here was literally derelict. Everywhere was rubbish.

0:20:170:20:23

Shrubbery, bushes everywhere. And then I got funding to make it better.

0:20:230:20:27

They cut down the trees and shrubbery, everything disappeared.

0:20:270:20:31

-Why did you do it?

-Because no one had a place to play.

0:20:310:20:35

We used to play on the road, we never had a place to play.

0:20:350:20:39

Community is important to me, because it's about where I live

0:20:390:20:42

and the people I live with.

0:20:420:20:44

Going to show that we are doing something to clean our area up.

0:20:440:20:47

Because of all the gangs and violence that's going on.

0:20:470:20:50

Sachen's life has totally defied Patric's expectations.

0:20:500:20:54

Spending time in his world has made him realise there's a lot more

0:20:540:20:59

to Sachen than looking good and having the latest designer gear.

0:20:590:21:04

My thoughts have changed.

0:21:040:21:05

Like, I guess, for the better, about what Sachen does.

0:21:050:21:10

I think he's a really nice person.

0:21:100:21:12

For the last six days, Patric and Sachen

0:21:120:21:15

have been living in each other's worlds.

0:21:150:21:18

They've done everything together except going to school.

0:21:180:21:22

Their schools are next to each other but are pretty different.

0:21:220:21:25

Patric's is one of the most prestigious private schools

0:21:250:21:28

in the country, and Sachen goes to a successful local comprehensive.

0:21:280:21:31

Sachen's coming to my school first. I'm feeling quite positive.

0:21:310:21:35

I like my school and it's a great place to be.

0:21:350:21:38

I'm kind of nervous, but excited at the same time.

0:21:390:21:42

I don't know what it's going to be like, but I know some people there.

0:21:420:21:46

I just hear people say they're posh.

0:21:460:21:49

Kingsdale and Dulwich are kind of, we're meant to hate each other,

0:21:490:21:52

but I think most of the people there are really nice.

0:21:520:21:55

-Loads of my friends go there. Yeah, so, my school.

-It's big.

0:21:550:21:59

-That's only a tiny bit of it.

-Is that Big Ben?

-It's just a clock.

0:22:010:22:05

My part of the school is over there, then the lower school.

0:22:050:22:08

Then the junior school and the science block.

0:22:080:22:11

-Did I say that?

-Yeah, you did.

-OK.

0:22:110:22:13

And then there's the science porta-labs

0:22:130:22:15

and then DUCKS is over there.

0:22:150:22:17

11 buildings. I've only got four.

0:22:170:22:20

THEY SING

0:22:280:22:31

Do you feel kind of weird being in my school but with your uniform?

0:22:310:22:35

Yeah.

0:22:350:22:37

Well, Patric isn't really posh. That's what I thought of his school.

0:22:370:22:42

Not everyone comes from a mansion here. I don't come from a mansion.

0:22:420:22:46

I could see myself at the school, but if it wasn't an all-boys school

0:22:460:22:50

and if it was mixed, like my school.

0:22:500:22:53

Just a short walk around the corner,

0:22:540:22:57

and the boys arrived at Sachen's school.

0:22:570:22:59

OK, welcome to Kingsdale Foundation School.

0:22:590:23:02

Kingsdale Foundation School is housed in one of the most futuristic

0:23:030:23:07

buildings in the area.

0:23:070:23:09

So this is my science classroom. Or one of my three science classrooms.

0:23:140:23:20

It's kind of... Not embarrassing.

0:23:200:23:23

Different, because my school is way smaller than his school.

0:23:230:23:29

And it's more modern and futuristic.

0:23:290:23:33

Was quite rough and disruptive, but now the school's changed

0:23:330:23:38

because they've built the school

0:23:380:23:40

and since it's been in a better environment,

0:23:400:23:42

different building, everyone's changed.

0:23:420:23:45

I feel quite proud showing him around. This is my school.

0:23:520:23:55

He felt proud showing me around his school.

0:23:550:23:59

I'm proud about where I learn my education.

0:23:590:24:02

For the last week, Sachen and Patric

0:24:070:24:10

have welcomed each other into their worlds.

0:24:100:24:12

For both, it's been an incredible journey.

0:24:120:24:15

It's transformed how they see their neighbourhood.

0:24:150:24:18

It's taught them how different another family can be

0:24:180:24:21

and it's been a lot of fun too.

0:24:210:24:23

Now the final challenge -

0:24:230:24:25

identifying one thing they'd take from the other's life

0:24:250:24:28

and introduce into their own.

0:24:280:24:30

Today the families meet for the first time and the boys will

0:24:320:24:35

tell their parents the new rule they would like to bring in.

0:24:350:24:39

It's a nerve-racking moment.

0:24:390:24:41

My family meeting Patric's family. He claimed his family's mad.

0:24:410:24:45

I don't think so. And I think that my family's mad, well, my mum.

0:24:450:24:48

And he doesn't think so,

0:24:480:24:51

so they could be a good match if they're both crazy.

0:24:510:24:54

We met Sachen. We'd like to meet his family.

0:24:540:24:56

I think Sachen's such a nice boy that his family must be nice as well.

0:24:560:25:00

I'm not looking forward to it as my mum will embarrass me.

0:25:000:25:04

-Hi, Patric!

-Hi.

-Hello.

-I'm Jeremy.

-Nice to meet you, Jeremy.

0:25:070:25:11

-This is Claire.

-Nice to meet you, Claire.

0:25:110:25:13

Patric we know.

0:25:130:25:15

Patric goes first.

0:25:150:25:16

So, guys, over the swap I've been looking at what I'd like to bring

0:25:160:25:22

from Sachen's family into my family and I propose, no shouting.

0:25:220:25:27

And my proposal is for no shouting for one week

0:25:270:25:31

and we'll see if we can do that. Which I don't expect that we will.

0:25:310:25:35

We're absolutely amazed!

0:25:360:25:39

-Did I not shout at all?

-No.

0:25:390:25:42

-You never...!

-And after a lot more shouting,

0:25:420:25:44

the family decide to try not to shout.

0:25:440:25:46

Yes, you so...!

0:25:460:25:49

Well, it would be quite a funny exercise to not shout.

0:25:490:25:52

And I might get fitter running up and down the stairs all the time.

0:25:520:25:56

It's Sachen's turn to tell his parents what

0:25:560:25:59

he would like to introduce into his family from his time at Patric's.

0:25:590:26:03

My proposal from Patric's family to my family is the bell.

0:26:030:26:08

They have a bell!

0:26:080:26:10

-It doesn't work!

-It does! It would. In my house,

0:26:100:26:16

when food's ready, you ring it and everyone comes for a family dinner.

0:26:160:26:20

So when we get this bell

0:26:200:26:22

and I have to ring it right next to your ears, you will still come?

0:26:220:26:26

-Is that a yes?

-Yeah, I think we can trial it.

0:26:260:26:29

So, over the next couple of weeks,

0:26:330:26:36

Patric's family will be trying not to shout

0:26:360:26:38

and Sachen's family will be ringing a bell to call everyone to dinner.

0:26:380:26:42

Despite the boys worrying over embarrassing parents, it seems

0:26:420:26:46

the meet-up has gone well.

0:26:460:26:49

I think they both got on very well, so obviously two crazies go together.

0:26:490:26:53

Over the last two weeks,

0:26:540:26:56

Patric and Sachen have shared each other's worlds.

0:26:560:26:59

Has it all been worth it?

0:26:590:27:01

I think the swap was showing me

0:27:010:27:04

a lot of things about another boy in my area.

0:27:040:27:08

It was a good experience and interesting to do.

0:27:080:27:11

'He has a different life from me, but in some ways it's similar.'

0:27:110:27:15

It doesn't really matter how it is, it's your life.

0:27:150:27:18

It's fate that chooses it.

0:27:180:27:20

You could be poor, that's fate's choice. Rich, fate's choice.

0:27:200:27:24

A week on, and have the families managed to stick to their new rules?

0:27:260:27:30

-Dad!

-What?

-Dinner! Patric!

-It didn't work.

0:27:330:27:38

My mum did try, and I think she didn't shout at all.

0:27:380:27:42

But nobody else really did try.

0:27:420:27:45

But one argument in one week is quite good.

0:27:450:27:47

RINGING

0:27:470:27:49

Everyone is using it for getting me to come for breakfast,

0:27:490:27:53

come for lunch, and I just ring it for fun!

0:27:530:27:56

It hurts my eardrums!
