0:00:02 > 0:00:05'Project Parent lets you take over your parent's life.'
0:00:05 > 0:00:09- Is this Project Parent?- Yes, it is. How can I help?- It's my mum.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12She's always wearing dull, black, masculine clothes.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16And she hasn't been on a night out since I was born.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20- Oh!- And I'm nine.- That sounds serious. I'll be there in a jiffy.
0:00:20 > 0:00:25- 'Meet today's project manager - Kicki.'- Mum, I'm in charge.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28'She wants some colour and glamour in her mum's wardrobe.'
0:00:28 > 0:00:31This is one piece of art.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34'To find someone special to take her out.'
0:00:34 > 0:00:36# Hello, my name is Simon... #
0:00:36 > 0:00:40'And create mayhem in the surveillance van.'
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Stuff it in his face.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Welcome to Project Parent that gives you control over your parents.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11You decide what they wear, where they go and who they go with.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Today I'm in London to meet a girl whose mum has zero social life
0:01:15 > 0:01:18and a wardrobe full of boring suits.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21She wants to see her out there enjoying herself,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25so she's the perfect candidate for this week's project.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Project manager Kicki loves playing her trumpet,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30violin and dancing.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34I'm going to make a fantastic project manager.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37She lives with her mum Shirley. She loves dancing too.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40She does very weird movements.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm a brilliant dancer.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Cut!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47And dancing isn't Shirley's only hidden talent.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51My mum loves eating cake. It's her special ability.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Kicki is fed up with her mum's dull wardrobe.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58She is either in a tracksuit or a business suit.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00This is my mum's wardrobe.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03It's really boring because it's got all work shirts.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07The trousers are really dull. It's masculine-like.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09MOTORBIKE REVS UP
0:02:09 > 0:02:13And I want my mum to dress like a lady.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Kicki also wants her mum to get out more.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21My mum does not have a social life. She's always staying in with me.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24About 90% of my life is taken up with Kicki.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28The ideal man has to have Clive Owen's hair,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Will Smith's eyes, Brad Pitt's nose
0:02:31 > 0:02:34and Denzel Washington's mouth.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Someone who's artistic, musical and has good manners.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41After you, my dear.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46I'm looking forward to being in charge. It's going to be really fun.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- I love my mummy.- 'Kicki's called in the Project Parent team.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53'I'm going to sort out Shirley's social life
0:02:53 > 0:02:55'and Darren Kennedy will tackle her wardrobe.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00'Darren is a top fashion stylist with his finger on the pulse.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05'This week, he has to turn Shirley's wardrobe from drab to fab.'
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Hi, Kicki.- Hello.- Hi. Come in. - How are you?
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- This is my mum.- Hi.- Hello.- Nice to meet you.- You must be Shirley.- I am.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21We've heard a lot about your wardrobe. It's just not very good.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Kicki, shall we get stuck in?- Yeah. - Show me where it is.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Kicki tells me that your social life is non-existent.- That is correct.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- I think we need a chat.- OK.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- What have we got here? - This is the problem.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38These are all the things Mum would wear to work.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41This could be in a man's wardrobe.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- That's like a Dick Tracy suit.- Yeah.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48When my mum wears that, I grit my teeth and say, "You look lovely."
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Then when she goes, I'm like...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53When was the last time you went out on a glamorous night out?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- About ten years ago. - That's a long time.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Why has it taken so long?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Just being a mum. All my time is spent with Kicki.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- What does she wear when she's taking time out?- Something like this,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09which I find completely unacceptable.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I am so glad you said that cos this is hideous.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Why don't you wear anything colourful?- I'm afraid of colour.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21I stick to blacks, browns, greys and blues because it's a safe option.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- What's this little piece of leather? - It's the most horrible thing ever.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Vroom, vroom, I'm a biker guy! Honestly, who wears this?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It's man clothes. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Who would you say your ideal man would be?- Idris Elba.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44- Hello, sweetheart.- He's got manners, polite, kind, caring.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46What's your ideal outfit for Mum?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Long, curly, wavy hair.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Not too big earrings, just little pearls.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56A long, bright blue dress with a flower on the side.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00A clutch bag and really nice high heel shoes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03How are you feeling about your nine-year-old daughter
0:05:03 > 0:05:06taking control of your life?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- I'm afraid. Very afraid.- Really?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Ready to be project manager? Can you handle it?- Yes!- Give me five!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- 'But is her mum ready?' - Shirley, come over here.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19'This is the Project Parent bin.'
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Kicki has officially taken charge
0:05:22 > 0:05:25and her first task is to bin her most hated item.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- This is the victim.- That's one of my favourite tops.- I hate it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Say goodbye to it.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Bye.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I don't know about you,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- but I feel dull and dreary from that closet.- It's all those dark clothes.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43It really is. Kicki's so right.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47She wants her mum to be glamorous, colourful and have more confidence.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51You're going to have a hard job because Shirley is scared of colour.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Now, this is Project Parent HQ,
0:05:56 > 0:06:01a surveillance van packed with gadgets, microphones and cameras,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- everything you need to interrogate an adult in the hot seat.- Moo-oo!
0:06:05 > 0:06:09And if they don't like what they hear, there's the buzzer.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11The men have to be up to scratch
0:06:11 > 0:06:14because me and my mum have got very high standards.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21'We found three potential matches to take Shirley on a glam night out.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25'Simon, like Shirley, loves music and he can play the guitar.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33'Maybe Russ can rustle up some of Shirley's favourite food - cake.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38'Max is a designer and, like Shirley, he loves art.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42'But if they aren't good enough, there's the fourth option -
0:06:42 > 0:06:45'best friend Michelle who is ready to step in.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49'And it's all controlled by project manager Kicki and her cousin Riad.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53'She's come along to interrogate the adults. Nothing will get past them.'
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Let us in!- Quick, get inside!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01'They've got their very own bovine assistant
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- 'to carry out their every wish.' - Moo-oo!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- How are you feeling?- Very excited. - Call in the first person.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Please may the first person sit in the chair?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Moo-oo! > Hello there.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- What's your name?- Simon.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- My name is Kicki.- Hello, Kicki. - I'm Riad.- Hello, Riad.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Are you musical?- Yeah, I play the guitar.- Sing a song about yourself.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29# Hello, my name is Simon My friends say I am good fun
0:07:29 > 0:07:33# And I'll sing these words to you
0:07:33 > 0:07:36# So hopefully I can meet your mum... #
0:07:37 > 0:07:39CHEERING
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Well done.- I hope you enjoyed that.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Using the disguises in the box,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- do an impression of someone famous.- OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52# Oh, you've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth... #
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Michael Jackson.- Very good. - Can you body-pop?
0:08:00 > 0:08:06- That was good. That's the only thing I can do.- Thank you.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Do you like cake? - Possibly. What's coming?
0:08:10 > 0:08:15How many can you fit into your mouth in 20 seconds? Your time starts now.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17One.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Five, four,
0:08:25 > 0:08:29three, two, one.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Done!
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Are you OK?- Yeah.- Why should I pick you to go out with my mum?
0:08:38 > 0:08:44I'm very kind and I think me and your mum could have good fun together.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Thank you for taking my interview. Bye!- Bye!- Bye!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52LAUGHTER
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Moo-oo!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56My opinion of Kicki is she's quite cheeky.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00And judging by the reaction she gave to some of my answers,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02she's also quite stern.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Please may the second contestant sit on the chair?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Moo-oo! > Hi.- Sing a song about yourself.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12# My name is Russ and I'm 35
0:09:12 > 0:09:15# I'm really ambitious and I've got lots of drive
0:09:15 > 0:09:18# I love my job, I'll be there till I'm old
0:09:18 > 0:09:21# I'm also really funny, or so I've been told! #
0:09:22 > 0:09:24How artistic are you?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I'm quite creative if I'm cooking. I'm not so good with pen and paper.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- Draw a picture.- Any requests of what you'd like me to draw?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I want you to draw a self-portrait.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Stop drawing!- Ready for this?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Is that you?- Yeah.- You don't look like him.- What if I turn like this?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Anyway, let's carry on.- OK.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Can you body-pop?- What, like this? Like this, you mean?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- BUZZER Shall I do a bit more?- No, no!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Yes.- No!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- I've stopped. It's OK. - Tell me your best joke.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- How would you wake up Lady Gaga? - I have no clue.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Pok-er face. LAUGHTER
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- I'm glad you liked it. - Please will you go now?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Thank you. Bye.- Ciao.- Bye.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I think that went really well.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I gave them good answers and I enjoyed chatting to them.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Don't decide yet. You've still got number three.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Number three has to bring it on. - Bring it on.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Please may contestant three sit in the chair?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35OK. Moo-oo! >
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Hello.- Hello. What's your name?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Max.- What's the most romantic thing you've ever done?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Oh, it was when I took Cinderella to the ball.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- She loved it.- You need to be serious. - Excuse me.- I am serious.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Moving on...- Yes, swiftly. - Now sing a song about yourself.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01# My name is Max, I likes to rap
0:11:01 > 0:11:05# I wear a hat and sleep on my back
0:11:05 > 0:11:08# Hey-hey! #
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Can you do a body-pop?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13# All the single ladies, all the single ladies
0:11:13 > 0:11:16# All the single ladies, all the single ladies... #
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- BUZZER - Do you like cake?- I love cake.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25How many can you fit into your mouth in 20 seconds, starting now?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28That's naughty. He's putting the packets in his mouth!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Ha-ha-ha!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Time's up. See you later!
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Oh, gosh.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I like the cow. It made me feel less nervous.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46You made me laugh a lot. We'll go through each guy.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Tell me what you liked and didn't like. Shall we start off with Simon?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It was good that he was musical.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It was easy to guess he was Michael Jackson.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Let's move on to number two. - Russell.- He was artistic.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02But I think he can improve it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Then we get to the joker. - Max was hilarious.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09He is one of the maddest people.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Girls, it's decision time. This is where you send someone packing.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Tell us who it is.- Russell.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I'm gutted. I can't believe I haven't got through.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Bad luck, mate. - So that's one down and two to go.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29We've organised an incredible evening out for Shirley.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33She'll attend a very prestigious event - The Last Night Of The Proms.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36But with a wardrobe full of suits, what will she wear?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I want my mum to dress like a lady.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Never fear cos Darren's here.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Kicki wants to chuck out the entire contents of her mum's dull wardrobe
0:12:50 > 0:12:54and replace it with something feminine and bright,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57but mum Shirley is afraid of wearing anything colourful,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59so I've got to find an outfit
0:12:59 > 0:13:03that will satisfy Kicki's demands and Mum will wear. No pressure(!)
0:13:08 > 0:13:12We're going to go shopping and here's the plan.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15We'll split up. Kicki, you've got some rules for Mum.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Mum, no dull colours and no masculine things.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- You think you can handle that? - I think I can.- Good.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26We shall see you shortly in the changing rooms. Let's get stuck in.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- This is the one that actually caught my attention.- Wow!
0:13:32 > 0:13:36This is one piece of art. That is just amazing!
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Your mum would run away kicking and screaming if she saw this.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- There's never harm in trying. - Does she have a choice?- No.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Cheeky Kicki! You'll get your way one way or another.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- What else do you like here? - I love that. It's beautiful.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- This colour on your mum's skin tone would be amazing.- Yes, it would.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59My mum will be very nervous
0:13:59 > 0:14:03because I'll make her wear things that she wouldn't normally.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- I think we should try this on. - High five.- Woo!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Shirley's turn to hit the shop floor
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- and, yes, she's actually looking at dresses!- That's Morticia.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- But will she find anything she likes?- Something I'd never wear.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- A bit short. Too revealing.- At least she's getting the hang of colour.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Kicki has made me think again
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and look at colours in a different way.
0:14:32 > 0:14:38OK, Shirley, I think it's time. Into the changing room you go.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- Are you nervous?- Very nervous!- When did you last see her in a dress?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I've never seen Mum wear a dress.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- OK, on the count of three. - BOTH: Three, two, one!
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- Interesting. What do you think? - It's too short.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09A bit too low.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Wowsers!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Amazing!
0:15:15 > 0:15:20- Shirley, how do you feel?- Amazing. I'd never have chosen this colour.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Blue really suits you, Mum.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- Wow! - You are a stunner. Shirley...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32You've been hiding this for so long.
0:15:32 > 0:15:38- Darren shows Shirley a new trick. - This is appropriate for the office.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40How to get two looks from one dress.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45A simple bit of bling takes this fairly simple dress
0:15:45 > 0:15:49and dresses it up and gives it a little punch.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Accessories, accessories.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55They make things a little bit more glamorous.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Finally...an elegant evening gown.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Wow! That is amazing, Mummy. I love it.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- You look beautiful! - Fantastico!
0:16:09 > 0:16:13You look like you're going to the ball! Like a princess.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18I think Mum looks lovely, but she's the queen, I'm the princess!
0:16:18 > 0:16:22By the end of the afternoon, Kicki's selected her top three outfits.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26But which one will she choose? Wait and see.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29She is going to look amazing! High five!
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Kicki's mum Shirley hasn't had a glamorous night out for 9 years,
0:16:37 > 0:16:42but with Project Parent, Shirley's whole world is about to change.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Out of four possibles, Kicki's narrowed it down to three.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Simon, Max and Shirley's best friend Michelle.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Helping Kicki is her cousin Riad.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59Today they've lined up a cake decorating session.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04And they'll be watching it all from the surveillance van.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Why have you chosen this particular activity for your mum?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13I've chosen this activity for my mum because we like icing cakes.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I want to see how the men like it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20The men don't know it, but Shirley's wearing an earpiece
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- connected to Kicki's mic.- Hi, Mum!
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- Hi, Kicki.- The rule is Mum has to do everything Kicki tells her to.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Are you nervous?- No, I'm not. - Surprisingly.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- First up is Simon.- Hello. Lovely to see you. How do you do?
0:17:39 > 0:17:45- Hi, I'm Helen.- Hello.- I'll show you how to decorate some cakes.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Children's baker Helen Nathan is a wizard
0:17:49 > 0:17:54at turning plain fairy cakes into miniature works of art.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Now it's over to you guys.- Great.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00But Kicki's not judging their cakes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02What are you looking for here?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07I'm looking to see if they have a good sense of humour
0:18:07 > 0:18:09and have a good laugh.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13She said take your time, didn't she?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Mum, ask him to please get a cup of water
0:18:20 > 0:18:26- and then bash his cake.- Can you get me a glass of water? There's cups.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37OK, thank you.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Oh! It looks like one of my leaves has fallen in(!)
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Perhaps that's gravity.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Or something. Oh, dear.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Well done!- How does that look?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I think that's good. Not bad.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Ask if he wants a cake, then stuff it in his face.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Do you want to taste this one? My gold glitter one.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13This is where we need trust! Of course there's trust!
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Oh!
0:19:16 > 0:19:19See? That was brilliant!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24It's nice to get the whole flavour.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- The chocolate's a little rich. - Say goodbye in a nice way.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Thank you, Simon. It was lovely. Thank you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Very well done.- Thank you!
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I really hope Kicki picks me now.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It would lovely to spend time with Shirley.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48- Time for number two.- What's your name?- Max.- Nice to meet you.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Kicki wants a sense of humour. Can Max take a joke?
0:19:52 > 0:19:58Pretend he's got something on his face and smudge chocolate on him!
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- There's something on your face. Just there.- Oh.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09What - there?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Is it there?- Yeah! Oh, my goodness!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Look at this!
0:20:18 > 0:20:24Tell him to look at the big cake, then quickly bash his cake!
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Have you seen this cake?- Wow!
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- THAT is a cake.- You have to count the flowers and the bees as well.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34OK. One bee...
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Two bees...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Three bees...!
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- I can't do that. There's too many bees.- Oh, OK.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54If you've finished your cakes, we need to put them on the top there.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57He's noticed his cake.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Mum, ask if he wants to try one of your cakes, then put it in his face.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Will you just take a bite?- OK.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Is it good?- Mmmm!
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Well done!- Want a bite of mine? - No!
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- I've eaten.- No, you can't get away with that, love.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- You've eaten?- No, Mum! Run away!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Run away!
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Tell him thank you for coming.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Nice to meet you.- And to meet you.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- How do you think that went? - Hilarious.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Well done. You did a spectacular job.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53I wasn't expecting to have the cake on my face! It was an experience.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I hope she will pick wisely
0:21:56 > 0:22:00and know what Mummy likes and doesn't like.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04And I'll put all my trust in her.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Girls, this is where you get to decide who takes your mum out.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15- Can you handle the pressure? - BOTH: Yes!- Right, let's do it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Simon?- I think Simon was a very good gent.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24He was very helpful, but he didn't really have a laugh.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Then we move on to Max. - Max was way too hyperactive,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32but he had a good laugh, so quite happy about that.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Then we have Michelle.- Michelle we want to keep as an option.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42So now I want you to tell me who is taking your mum on a glam night out.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Ready, girls?- Yeah.- Do it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It's the day of the big reveal
0:22:53 > 0:22:57and Kicki's vision of what her mum should look like.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Yes, indeed. She's found an incredible dress.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05But before that, Kicki's got a few more surprises in store.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Ladies first.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Hair - what do you have in mind?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Well, I want it really curly and then I'd like it put up.
0:23:17 > 0:23:24I'm with you 100%. The curls are much more feminine, more ladylike.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- Strike away that business look. Sound like a plan?- Yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32You don't have much of a choice. Take one last look.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36The next time will be the brand new you, Kicki-style!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Shirley's not the only one.
0:23:40 > 0:23:47Simon, Max and Michelle are all on standby to see if Kicki chose them.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Hello. I've chosen you to go out with my mum tonight.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- See you later.- Kicki's still got one last job to oversee.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01The final part of the makeover is one of the most important - makeup.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Where do you want to put the emphasis?- Probably on the eyes.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10I agree completely. Either go strong on the eyes, neutral on the lips,
0:24:10 > 0:24:16or strong on the lips, neutral on the eyes. Both is too much.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20While family and friends arrive to witness Shirley's transformation,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Kicki puts the finishing touches to Project Shirley.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Amazing.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Shirley always wears black when I'm over at Kicki's house.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35It will be nice to see her transformed into something colourful.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I think Shirley will look like a princess.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Right, Kicki. She's very nervous.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49- Are you ready to see my mum? - ALL: Yes!
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Three! Two! One! Mum - come in!
0:25:02 > 0:25:07- Mum, you look amazing! - Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Kicki, you put a lot of hard work into this. Happy with the outcome?
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- I'm very happy with the outcome. I think she's done well.- Amazing!
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- We should put her out of her misery. - ALL: Yes!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Kicki?- Three, two, one.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Oh, my...!
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- How do you feel? - Em...em...
0:25:44 > 0:25:46How are you feeling?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Mummy's not wearing black any more. - That's a good thing.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Shirley is stunning, colourful and classical.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I think Auntie Shirley looks nice
0:26:06 > 0:26:08and I'm glad she's happy.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10She's emotional as well!
0:26:10 > 0:26:15I think my mum WILL listen to me the next time we go shopping.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20She sees how wonderful she looks with bright colours on. I succeeded.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24The old Shirley was stuck in a rut wearing dull, masculine clothes.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29The new Shirley looks stunning in a bright purple dress
0:26:29 > 0:26:32and the accessories add glamour.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38Kicki's got one final surprise - an evening at the Proms.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41But who has she picked to join her?
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- There you go. - Wow! Don't you look lovely?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Bye, Kicki! Your carriage awaits.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Bye, Mummy!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Your work is done as Project Manager.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05'Picking Simon was a good choice.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09'He's very easy to talk to.' Wow, in here?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12SIMON: 'I'm having a great time.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14'She's a lovely lady.'
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Are you excited? Very excited.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20The Proms was a good idea.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24The fact that she's going tonight makes me really happy.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29This is amazing. 'I think Kicki is the best daughter in the world.'
0:27:29 > 0:27:33I love her to bits. I'm really proud of her.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37My mum looks absolutely amazing, spectacular, out of this world.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42All the nice words you can think of, my mum is tonight.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- That worked out well. Great job. - And what a lovely family.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Our work is done. Time to relax.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Oh.- What's this?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- BOTH: A message in a bottle? - Let's have a butcher's.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02"Dear Project Parent, my dad dresses like a hippy.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- "He's always at the allotment. Please help."- Sounds horrendous.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Another parent.- Another project.
