0:00:02 > 0:00:05Project Parent puts you in charge of your single parent's life.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08PHONE RINGS Ow!
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- Hello?- Is this Project Parent?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- Yes, how can I help?- It's my dad.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15He's got six wardrobes full of clothes
0:00:15 > 0:00:19- but nothing he wears seems to match.- Really?
0:00:19 > 0:00:22He doesn't go out much and he is really shy around women.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I can fix that. I'm on my way.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Today's project manager is 11-year-old Ellis.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Watch out, Dad, cos I'm in charge.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30He's on a mission
0:00:30 > 0:00:33to turn his mismatched father into a Daddy Cool...
0:00:33 > 0:00:35It's absolutely amazing.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Find a lovely lady to join him on a special night out...
0:00:38 > 0:00:40What football team do you support?
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Sheffield United.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Rubbish!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45And get up to mischief in the surveillance van.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Move onto the cockroaches.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Oh, they made a noise!
0:00:49 > 0:00:50THEY LAUGH
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hello and welcome to Project Parent,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15the show that puts you in control of your mum or dad's life.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Today, we're in Blackpool for an unusual case
0:01:19 > 0:01:21of a clothes-mad dad with no sense of style.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Now, his son, Ellis, wants to take control of his wardrobe
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and sort out his social life.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Meet this week's project manager -
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Blackpool supporter Ellis.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35My hobbies are playing on my games console,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37acting and football.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38This is his little sister, Erin
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and this is their dad, Andy.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42My dad's the best dad in the world.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44He looks after us, he cooks for us,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47plays with us, he does everything with us.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Ellis and Erin are the most important thing in my life.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53They spend their weekends with him.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54He loves football and golf,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56but he loves his clothes more.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58He's got six wardrobes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00He's got so many shirts!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02All his clothes are dull,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04he never throws any of them away.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I tend to hoard clothes, yes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10This jacket is at least 30 years old.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12If I wait, they'll come back into fashion.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14And when it comes to putting an outfit together,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Ellis thinks his dad hasn't got a clue.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Nothing he wears matches.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21He wears smart with casual.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24My dad puts together lots of weird combinations.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26It's just wrong.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And his wardrobe isn't the only problem Ellis wants to tackle.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31My dad has no confidence,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33he's very shy around women.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35The ideal woman for my dad
0:02:35 > 0:02:37would have Madonna's hair,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Nicole Kidman's eyes,
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Cameron Diaz's nose
0:02:40 > 0:02:42and Kylie Minogue's mouth.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46To help Ellis with the difficult task of managing his dad
0:02:46 > 0:02:48is his best friend.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- This is my best friend, Flint.- Hello.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I'm really looking forward to being in charge of my dad.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Nervous? Maybe just a little.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00So, a challenging case this week.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Fortunately, I've brought along Project Parent stylist,
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Darren Kennedy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Darren's a top fashion journalist and his no-nonsense attitude
0:03:08 > 0:03:12is just what is needed to straighten out Andy's muddled wardrobe.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Hello, I'm Ellis. Come through.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Thank you.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20This is my best friend, Flint.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Hello.- And this is my dad, Andy. - Hello, Andy.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I've heard so much about you.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Nice to meet you. - Pleased to meet you.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32We've heard you have so many clothes that I can't quite believe my ears.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Shall we go and have a look? - Sure, yeah.- Lead the way, lads.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39And now, Andy, this is where you make me a brew and I quiz you.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Ok. Come with me.- Good man.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Look at this!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46They're all my dad's shoes.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- How many pairs of shoes does he have?- 38.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- 38?!- Wait until you see the clothes.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Andy, the first thing I want to know is,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59when was the last time you had a fun night out?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00- A fun night out?- Yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03That's got to be a couple of years ago, Angellica,
0:04:03 > 0:04:04I would have thought.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Why is that?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, just looking after children, work,
0:04:08 > 0:04:09getting on with life.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10It doesn't leave much time.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Are these all your dad's clothes? - No, there's more upstairs.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18You're kidding me! So, have you counted them?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19He has 30 jumpers...
0:04:19 > 0:04:2125 pairs of trousers...
0:04:21 > 0:04:2342 shirts...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And 27 T-shirts.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Do you think your clothes have anything to do with it,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31or maybe you are not dressing right to attract the right person?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34No, I think I dress perfectly all the time.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Maybe my son has other ideas.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Talk to me about this wardrobe. What's the problem?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Well, nothing he wears matches.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Also, I'm thinking, from looking around at the clothes,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45that colour is an issue?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Tell me who your ideal woman would be.- That would be Angelina Jolie.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- She's beautiful.- Stunning.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Hey, Andy, you're not so bad yourself.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So, let's go back to the real world.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58What are you looking for in a lady?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Somebody that likes sports, likes to go to the movies.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Somebody that is up for a good laugh.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- What's your ideal outfit for Dad? - Grey trainers with illuminous laces.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Baggy black trousers.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12A bright T-shirt with a white T-shirt underneath.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14A Mafia hat.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17And hair extensions.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20How does he react if you make him wear something new?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22He pulls this sort of face,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25it goes sort of like...
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Give me that face again...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31You're about to hand control over to Ellis and Flint
0:05:31 > 0:05:35and I want you to look me in the eye and tell me honestly, what you feel.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Slightly apprehensive.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38SHE GIGGLES
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Are you ready to be project managers?- BOTH: Yes.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43That's what I like to hear. Give me five. Good stuff.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- How did it go? - He has so many clothes
0:05:48 > 0:05:52but he doesn't know how to assemble an outfit. How about you?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55He's looking for an Angelina Jolie lookalike who plays golf.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- That'll be easy to find!- Very easy!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Right, it's time to start work on Project Andy and the first task
0:06:04 > 0:06:07is to find someone who he can go on a fun evening out with.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Which is where the Project Parent surveillance van comes in.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14It's jam-packed with all the latest hi-tech gadgets, cameras and microphones.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20- So it's the perfect place to interrogate candidates as they have to take to the hot seat.- Moo!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23And if Ellis and Flint hear something they don't like...
0:06:23 > 0:06:25There's always the buzzer.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31I can't wait to ask the questions but I'm going to be tough because it's no walk in the park.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Ellis's dad loves golf and football so we have come up with three sporty ladies.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39They are:
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Sara. She's a keen golfer and can't wait to get into the swing of things.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Strongwoman Julie. She's a regular at the gym and loves weightlifting.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53And Joanne. She boxes to keep fit, but will she be a knockout in the hot seat?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58And if the girls don't cut the mustard, we've organised a fourth option. Andy's big brother, Paul.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Let's get to work. It's time to get the interrogation
0:07:02 > 0:07:06started with the help of their very own bovine assistant.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Hello, cow.- Moo!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Right, boys. This is your moment to grill the ladies.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Shall we get the first person in?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Yeah.- Go on, then.- Can the first lady take a seat, please?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Hello, I'm Ellis and this is my best friend, Flint.- Hello.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Hi, Ellis and Flint.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Tell me your best joke.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Why was the beach wet?- Don't know.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Because the sea weed!- Rubbish!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Do you want another one?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38That's OK, thanks!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40That bad?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42What is the best thing about Blackpool?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I live there!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47How are you with creepy-crawlies?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Am I about to find out?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52A bit scared!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I like creepy-crawlies.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Dress up like a famous singer and sing a big hit.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01# Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. #
0:08:01 > 0:08:02I don't know the words.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04# Na-na-na-na. Poker face! #
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Absolutely rubbish!
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Andy loves Hollywood films.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Pretend you've won an award and give an acceptance speech.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- Mooo!- Well, this award means everything to me.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Tears will earn extra brownie points.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Not a lot of emotion there.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- That's the end of these questions. Thank you.- Bye!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37She's funny and smiley and got a good sense of humour.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The hot seat was really scary. The boys were quite tough.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44They were a little bit mean, they kept saying I was rubbish!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Can the second lady please take a seat?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Hi, kids.- Tell me your best joke.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52What is brown and sticky?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- I don't know.- A stick!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57That's rubbish.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- It's my favourite joke! - What football team do you support?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Sheffield United!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Rubbish!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07How are you with creepy-crawlies?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08OK, I think.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I don't like them when they drop on my head!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Andy loves Hollywood films.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Pretend you've won an award and give an acceptance speech.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Thank you, thank you. I would like to thank everybody, everybody.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26And that's it, really. I can't begin to tell you...
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Thank you. - That was really, really bad.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Who is your favourite actor?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Brad Pitt.- Do an impression of him.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Angelina, what have you done for my tea?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I think that was a bit...
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Rubbish? I know.- Thank you. - Bye!- Bye.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I don't think the boys are as tough as they seem.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53They were just putting on an act to give me a hard time to get the best out of me.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Can the third woman please get into the hot seat?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Tell me your best joke.
0:10:01 > 0:10:07- What can your left hand do that your right hand can't do?- I have no idea.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10My left hand can touch my right elbow.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Try it. Your right hand can't touch your right elbow.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Without you looking really stupid.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- That's true, actually!- Thank you.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- But it isn't a joke as such.- Sorry. - How are you with creepy-crawlies?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I can catch a spider in a cup. I can slide a piece of paper underneath it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27I can throw it OUT!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33My dad loves cooking.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36If you were a meal, what dish would you be?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Good old bangers and mash.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I love bangers and mash.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45- So do I, I like bangers and mash. - I love bangers and mash, too.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Pretend you've won an award and give an acceptance speech.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I can't believe I've won this. I really can't believe it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I have got a lot of people out there that I want to thank.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01My mum and dad, my daughter, and most of all, you guys
0:11:01 > 0:11:03out there,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05for making me believe in myself.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Thank you, thank you.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16- That's the best emotions we have seen today!- Woo!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Thank you. - We'll give you an Oscar.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Fantastic, Thank you.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Bye.- Bye!- Bye.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I thought I did really well with the acting question.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28They said I could win an Oscar, so yeah, I'm pretty chuffed with myself.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34It's decision time, boys, but before you tell me who's going to go home,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37let's just talk about each of the women. Happy?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Yeah.- Brilliant. Let's start off with Sara.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Well, she fit all the criteria. - What didn't you like about Sara?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47She didn't do a very good impression of Lady Gaga.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Let's move on to Julie.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51You buzzed her a lot.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Well, we did what we needed to do, really.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59I kind of liked her because she was going for a bit of a laugh and she laughed at herself a lot.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03And finally, Joanne came and sat in the hot seat, didn't she?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- I think she sort of fits some of the criteria.- Thank you.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You did like her bangers and mash.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10We all like bangers and mash!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12And then we have your Uncle Paul.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Shall we keep him here? - For now.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Boys, have you made a decision?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Yeah.- Who is going home?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Julie.- Julie?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Julie.- Shall we say goodbye to Julie? - Bye, Julie.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So, that's one down and three to go.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33For Andy's big night out, we have organised a special treat,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35switching on the Blackpool Illuminations,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38one of the biggest light shows in the world.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40But who will Ellis and Flint pick to join him?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43And first they have to find an outfit that actually matches.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Ellis' dad loves his clothes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51He has literally got wardrobes full to the brim.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54The thing he doesn't have is the ability to put an outfit together.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57So it's down to the boys and me to show him the light.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Here's our plan of action.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05We're going to split up and go shopping.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Andy, we want you to go off and find a few bits that you like.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11We'll do the same, and we'll meet in the changing room.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- First, as a rule... - Everything has got to match.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Sound easy enough? - Yeah.- You go that way.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Guys, we're going to go this way.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Let's shop.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24The boys are eager to brighten up Andy's wardrobe.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- That's quite nice. - Lots of colour, I like it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I like this, I think it would suit him.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Some of the things are a lot out of his comfort zone.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35So I think he will be a bit nervous.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Meanwhile, Andy is sticking to what he knows best.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I suppose the boys are the project managers,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47so if they pick something for me, I think I'm going to have to wear it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49We want this one.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Right. I certainly think we have enough. Don't you?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Come on, Darren.- I'm coming!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56They've got the clothes,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00now they're going to show Andy how to put a matching outfit together.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Ha, ha, ha!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Right, are you ready?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Born ready.- OK, let's count him in.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- On the count of three, boys. Three, two, one...- Come out, Dad.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Wow! In terms of how you can mix and match, what we have done is
0:14:20 > 0:14:22taken a very basic colour,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24we've got different shades of brown, the camel, reds.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26And they all work together.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29It's not rocket science, it's all casual, but it works.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Wow!- It's nice, isn't it?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- It's great.- The purple and the grey goes well together
0:14:38 > 0:14:39and the jeans and shoes match.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Wow! It's cool.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46The jumper isn't just old men jumper,
0:14:46 > 0:14:51it's more mixing in with the modern, which makes it sort of modern itself.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Wow!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Is that the face?- That's the face.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Don't like the hat, Andy?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- What do you think?- I think it's good.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Oh, my goodness. I like it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12It's kind of formal, kind of laid back.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16So this is quite a formal jacket. But again, with a shirt underneath,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19the buttons open on top, and with the flowery detail,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22it brings that casual element. I quite like this look.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24At the end of a long afternoon,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27the boys have whittled it down to their three favourites.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29But which will they pick for Andy's night out?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Today we're at Blackpool Zoo because we've arranged for Andy
0:15:35 > 0:15:37and the ladies to be zookeepers for the afternoon.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40But they won't be dealing with cute creatures like these lemurs.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45They'll be dealing with creatures of a completely different nature,
0:15:45 > 0:15:46the creepy crawly kind.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I can't imagine what his face is going to be like when he sees
0:15:50 > 0:15:52what I've got in store for him.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Out of three women, Ellis and Flint
0:15:54 > 0:15:58narrowed it down to two, golf crazy Sara, and boxing clever Joanne.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Let's hope the ladies aren't squeamish,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03because they'll to be getting up close to stick insects,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06cockroaches and giant snails.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The boys will be controlling it all from the surveillance van.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Why did you choose this particular activity for your dad?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17It shows my dad how to handle animals since he likes nature.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19The women don't know it,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22but Andy's wearing an earpiece connected to the van mic.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Are you nervous, Dad?
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- What are you looking for in the women?- Good sense of humour.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33And we need to see if they're squeamish or not.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- First up is Sara. - I'm Sara. Nice to meet you.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Nice to meet you, Sara.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40This is the giant African land snail.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42It can grow to the size of an adult's hand
0:16:42 > 0:16:45and can live for up to 10 years.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48What I need you to do, erm, is just give them a bit of a bath, really,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- to get rid of any mucous. - She seems a bit nervous.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Yeah. - Just hand underneath to support it.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57There you go. See there!
0:16:57 > 0:16:58You're a natural.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Ask her some questions.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07So you ever held a snail like this before?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08No. Never. Uggh!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I don't think she likes the look of it,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- but at least she's giving it a go. - OK.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- That look clean?- Yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Move on to the cockroaches.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23These are giant Madagascan hissing cockroaches, OK?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25So don't think of the word cockroach, OK?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Look at her face!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31The Madagascan hissing cockroach mimics a sound of a snake
0:17:31 > 0:17:32to scare off predators.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Just put your hand over the top.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Just pick him up and then, obviously, support underneath, OK?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42He will try and grip on, but just hold on the top, OK.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Tell her it's going to be OK.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47All I need you to do is just transfer them from that tank...
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- It'll be OK.- ..into this tank, OK? So I can give it a bit of a clean.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Eugh!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Go for a small one then. Go for that little one.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04- It made a noise.- It's hissing.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I think the clue is in the name, with the hissing.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Oh, you got it. Tell you what, you're really good at this.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Which was the hissing one? - That one there.- I don't like this.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18What are you doing? Oh, it's off.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- IT HISSES - I don't like the hissing!
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Don't like it!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24She's genuinely scared.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I've got to get it. I've got to conquer this.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I've got to conquer it.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Pretend one's gone up your sleeve, Dad.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Oooh... I think I've got one up me sleeve.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Oh, I've got one up me sleeve!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Help me!- Do you want me to help you? - Yeah. I've got one up me sleeve!
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Oh, is she going to help?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Is she going to help? - Can you find it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- No.- Say it's just a joke.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Oh, I'm just joking. I'm sorry. - Oh, don't...!
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Well done, Dad. Did a great job.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52That one's massive.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Say thank you and goodbye, politely.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Lovely to meet you. - And you.- I'll see you again.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Thank you. Bye now.- Thank you.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06It was nerve-wracking because I'm not used to handling insects.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08But it was different.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's Joanne's turn to play zoo keeper.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- I'm Andy.- Joanne. Nice to meet you.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14These are Thai stick insects.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17They've got suckers and claws on their feet
0:19:17 > 0:19:19which means they can climb up anything.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I need you to count how many stick insects I have.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Three.- Remember, the boys are looking for a sense of humour.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Can Joanne take a joke? - It's at six.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Tell her one's on her back.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Whoa, seven... Stay.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- No, there is not!- Stay.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Tell her it's crawling up slowly.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41It's crawling slowly. Oh!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Stay still. Don't move.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- I'll be all right with... - It's on your scarf.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I've got it. I've got it. Yeah.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- Say it's just a joke. - It's just a joke. Sorry, I'm sorry.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54..coackroaches. Six.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Six! Agree?- Agree.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Move on to the cockroaches.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02OK.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06This one looks a more slightly subdued one.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- It's a little bit docile there. - Get her to move on. Come on.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Just need to touch and maybe move one, just get a feel for it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Just have a little...
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Oh, it's just hissed. I'm sorry.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22That's all right. Quick, quick. It's all right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- It's hissing.- Sorry.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26It's hissing.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29My turn. Brilliant.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Ooh, you monkey!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- We got a hisser.- Just breathe in.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Don't like this. - Pull your sleeves down.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45It's actually thinking, "I'm going back under the log."
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Yeah, let's flip it over.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Put your hand in there and pretend one's gone up your sleeve, Dad.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Andy's found an empty cockroach shell.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56He's put on up his sleeve.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Is that them all?- Wee-ee...
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Oh, help me, I've got one up me sleeve.- Have you really?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Yeah, I think so. - Jiggle about, jiggle about.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Oh, it's...- They will go up your arm.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Oh, help me. Please.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Run about, run about. - No, I can't stand it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I can't stand it. No!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It is, it's there.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19There. It's there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I'm really sorry. I can't. I can't do it.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Oh, there he is.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Thank you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27It's not real.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Oh! Oh!- It's just his skin.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Say goodbye to her. Nicely.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Thank you very much indeed. Two kisses.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Thank you.- Lovely to meet you.- OK.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Top, Dad.- That was fun.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I was extremely nervous but quite pleased with myself
0:21:42 > 0:21:44that I'd actually done it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It's time to face the music.
0:21:47 > 0:21:53- Talk to me.- Well, Sara was a bit squeamish but she overcame
0:21:53 > 0:21:57that by picking up the cockroaches, so I think she did quite well.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Joanne, she was good and chatty,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03but she just didn't help with the cockroaches.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Sounds like you like them both for different reasons.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07This might be a little bit tricky.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11So I suggest, maybe we should leave Paul in for a second. Yeah?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- Yeah. - This is what I'm going to do.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Have a little mix round.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- Right. Who's it going to be? - We're going to pick...
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- ..that one.- That one. - You sure?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- We're absolutely positive.- OK.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Finally, it's the morning of Andy's big reveal,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35and we'll see the results of Ellis and Flint's hard work.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39The boys have found a superb outfit, and most importantly, it matches!
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Brilliant. And we've also lined up a fantastic night out for Andy,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46but who have the boys chosen to go out with him?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I don't know, but I know there is just enough time
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- to squeeze in a bit of pampering. - Hmm. Well you better get cracking.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53I better.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59So, boys, what's the plan of action?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Cos in all fairness to you, Andy, he's very well groomed.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Hmm. Spray tan.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Spray tan. Interesting.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09How do you feel about a spray tan?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Um...great!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13What I would say is, if we are going to spray tan,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16the key thing is to not go too dark.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- Whaddya mean?- I really recommend, go for the shade lighter than what
0:23:20 > 0:23:24is nearly recommended, because that way it will look natural,
0:23:24 > 0:23:25give you a healthy glow,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28and with the outfit, you should be look very smart.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Pampering sorted,
0:23:29 > 0:23:33our project managers turn their attention to the next task.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's time to put the person you've chosen out of their misery.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38You going to make the call? All right.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Sara, Joanne and Uncle Paul
0:23:40 > 0:23:44are waiting to see if they've been chosen to join Andy on a night out.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47We've chosen you to go out with my dad tonight.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Dress up warm and look your best.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Fingers crossed, boys. Fingers crossed.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55While the finishing touches are being applied to Project Andy,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59friends and family arrive, eager to see Andy's big transformation.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I'm really excited about Daddy's new look.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Andy had lovely clothes but they didn't seem to go together
0:24:05 > 0:24:08so well, so hopefully Ellis will have got it all matched lovely.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I'm looking forward to see what Ellis has come up with.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Hello, everybody! - ALL: Hello!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- You ready to see my dad? - Yes!
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Three, two, one... Come in, Dad!
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- So what do you think of your dad? - Looks really good, yeah.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Really good.- What do you think of his outfit?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- I think it's good.- More colourful.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Definitely more colourful. - Does he look cool?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- We want cool Dad, don't we?- Yeah.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Shall we show him what he looks like? Let's do it.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Three, two, one.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58ALL CHEER
0:24:58 > 0:24:59What dies that face mean?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Happy. That's my happy face.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03That wasn't THE face, was it?
0:25:03 > 0:25:04- Not THE face.- OK, good.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- What do you think? - I think it looks great.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Yeah, I feel really comfortable.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Yeah, it looks great. - Anything you want to say to the boys?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13They've done a great job.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Thank you.- You too, come on.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Cheers, boys.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I think he looks a lot better than he used to.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I think Daddy looks amazing.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26In the past, Andy was a mish-mash
0:25:26 > 0:25:29of old-fashioned styles and dull colours.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Now the boys have put together a matching outfit
0:25:31 > 0:25:34with a splash of colour, and he's looking Daddy cool.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37To be dressed like this feels really good.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39The days of the face are behind me now.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I feel way more confident, erm...
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I don't want to do the face anymore. I'm happy with this happy face.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49But will he be happy with who the boys have picked
0:25:49 > 0:25:51to go out with him tonight?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Who's it going to be?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Hello!- Hiya!
0:26:00 > 0:26:02How are you?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03- I'm good, thank you.- Good.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Have a great time, now. Bye!
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Yeah, I think my dad was really pleased when Sara
0:26:13 > 0:26:15pulled up in the carriage.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17His face just lit up when it came.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Evening's going really well. I'm really enjoying it.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Sara's absolutely lovely.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30My son's made an excellent choice and I'm having a really good time.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Andy seems like a really nice guy. He's really friendly and chatty.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37The boys have arranged a once in a lifetime treat for Andy and Sara.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Tonight, you're going to switch on Blackpool's Illuminations.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Wow!- Wow!- 'My dad does like the Illuminations and I think he will'
0:26:45 > 0:26:50really enjoy switching the lights on tonight because it's something that not a lot of people get to do.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Three, two, one...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57BOTH CHEER
