0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is the show that puts you in control of your parents' life
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- or, in this case, your uncle's. - PHONE RINGS
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hello, Project Parent, can I help you?
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Well, it's my Uncle Mark. He's not had a girlfriend in over six months.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15He's wearing his work clothes when he comes home and not changing.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18That's awful. I'm on my way, I'm on my way.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Duty calls!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Today's Project Manager is 11 year-old Georgia,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29but it's not her parents she's worried about it's her Uncle Mark.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32People think he looks like a tramp.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35She wants him looking and dancing like her favourite band, JLS.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I'm going to get rid of his dirty work clothes
0:00:38 > 0:00:40and put him in something trendy.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Whoa!- I think it will make me really nervous knowing that Georgia
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- is going to be in charge of what I'm going to wear.- That is nice.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50She gets to pick who he hangs out with...
0:00:50 > 0:00:51- Woof, woof!- I didn't like her.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55And of course she'll be up to mischief in the surveillance van.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Pull a muscle.- Ah!
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Jeez!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21This is Project Parent,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25the show which gives you control to change your single parent's life or,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28in this case, your single uncle's. We give you the chance to give them
0:01:28 > 0:01:31a trendy new look designed to boost their confidence
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and kick-start their social life. Today, I'm in Lancashire to meet
0:01:34 > 0:01:38a girl who is at her wits' end with her uncle's lack of style,
0:01:38 > 0:01:39and lack of girlfriends,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43which puts him top of the list for this week's project.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Project manager Georgia loves cheerleading
0:01:48 > 0:01:50and her favourite band, JLS.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54She lives with her mum Sonia, and her brother, Liam.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Round the corner to her, lives Uncle Mark.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- And he loves bulldogs... - Yeah, you're a good boy, aren't you?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07..And his favourite football team, Bolton Wanderers.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Georgia wants to get Mark
0:02:09 > 0:02:11out of his work clobber and into something smarter
0:02:11 > 0:02:16and find him some new friends, but not the four-legged variety.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I want him to stop hanging out with the dogs and have
0:02:18 > 0:02:20more friends and go out more.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24This is my Uncle Mark's wardrobe and it's full of jeans
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and it has like no colour,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30not really nice to go out with holes in your jeans.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32When I come home and you're messing with the dogs,
0:02:32 > 0:02:37it's easier to wear the work clothes rather than something nice.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I think it is his clothes that are letting him down.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43My favourite band member of JLS is Aston Merrygold.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47That's what I want my Uncle Mark to look like.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I think it will make me really nervous knowing that
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Georgia is going to be in charge of what I'm going to wear
0:02:53 > 0:02:57because I don't think we have the same style ideas.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59The ideal person for my Uncle Mark
0:02:59 > 0:03:02would probably have Cheryl Cole's hair,
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Beyonce's eyes, Keira Knightley's nose and Fearne Cotton's mouth.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08WOLF WHISTLE
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Everyone says I'm a bit mad but I just see myself as normal!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19My Uncle Mark is like the best uncle in the world...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24..and no-one can get a better one than him!
0:03:24 > 0:03:28It looks like this week's project is going to be a real challenge,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30luckily I've brought help...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32style guru, Darren Kennedy.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35He's a top stylist with a sharp nose for fashion.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41If anyone can transform Uncle Mark from scruff to buff, it's him.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44DOOR BELL RINGS
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Hello.- Hi.- Come on in.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- So you must be the Uncle Mark we've heard about.- Nice to meet you both.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51And we came as fast as we could.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Georgia, it can't be all true.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Am I going to have a difficult time?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- It is all true.- Really?- Yeah.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Shall we get cracking? Show me the wardrobe.- Yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02OK, Uncle Mark, I think we need to have a chat.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Shall we go and walk the dog?
0:04:04 > 0:04:05- OK, then.- Come on.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Liam, chuck 'em down!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16This wardrobe!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25What is the story? These are his jeans!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28They're his work jeans... and home jeans.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- So he wears them to work and out socialising?- Yeah.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- And there's holes everywhere!- Yeah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36OMINOUS MUSIC
0:04:39 > 0:04:43While Darren gets to grips with Uncle Mark's fashion misdemeanours,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I find out why he's single.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Would you like to have a girlfriend? - Yeah, of course.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So why haven't you got one? What do you think is the reason?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55One of the reasons is I always seem to be their best friend
0:04:55 > 0:04:59and never boyfriend material... I'm always more the best friend.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00These at least are different...
0:05:00 > 0:05:02they're not jeans, which is nice.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- There doesn't seem to be any holes in them.- But he never wears them...
0:05:06 > 0:05:07only for dog shows!
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Hold on! You're telling me his one half-decent pair of trousers
0:05:11 > 0:05:14that don't really fit right, he wears for the dogs?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16And he wonders why he's single!
0:05:16 > 0:05:17It would be helpful
0:05:17 > 0:05:20if I could have a few pointers so who is your ideal woman?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I suppose that would be Lily Allen. - Cheers, mate.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27She's good-looking, she seems crazy, just seems up for a laugh.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Ha, ha, ha!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32OK, so you like her character, like her looks,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35so I've got a bit of a hard task there, haven't I!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38What are you thinking? Roughly what would you like to see him in?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42My ideal outfit is probably pink/red pumps,
0:05:42 > 0:05:47trousers that are a lively colour, a red shirt with stripes on it
0:05:47 > 0:05:51and his hair long so it can be styled more.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Oh, Uncle Mark is lovely, but you have got a tough job.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Lovely guy, but loves his casual clothes
0:05:58 > 0:05:59a bit too much for my liking.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Georgia wants of a hip-hop vibe
0:06:01 > 0:06:02so it's going to be interesting
0:06:02 > 0:06:05bridging the two, making him feel comfortable
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- and making her happy. - It could be funny!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's going to be very funny, but back to you, Lily Allen?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Yeah, tricky.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Somebody's who is fun, charismatic, beautiful...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and they have to love dogs.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Yeah, mmm-hmmm.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27This is our state of the art surveillance van,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29jam-packed with all hi-tech gadgets,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31microphones and cameras,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35making it the perfect place to interrogate adults.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37There's a buzzer, so if you don't like
0:06:37 > 0:06:38- what you hear... - BUZZER
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's from here that Georgia will choose
0:06:41 > 0:06:44that special person to go on a fab day out with her uncle.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49It's good like being in charge of adults because normally
0:06:49 > 0:06:51the adults are in charge of the children.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I have searched and come up with three cracking candidates.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01They are... Paula, who likes playing pool and doesn't like The Simpsons.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Sarah, who loves ice-skating and hates tomatoes.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08And Lucinda, who speaks fluent French, ooh la la,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10and loves quad-biking.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12If Georgia is not happy with any of these,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14we have organised a back-up option...
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Uncle Mark's best buddy, Ste... that's Steven to you and me.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Shall we do it?- Yeah. - Let's see who is number one.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Hello, my name is Georgia. - My name is Paula.- Do you like JLS?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Oh, I do, yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33# The club is alive
0:07:33 > 0:07:36# With the sound of music. #
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- That's well good!- Thank you.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41What football team do you support?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Manchester United.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46BUZZER
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Will you do an impression of a dog.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Woof, woof, woof, woof! Ruff!!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Can you get this lid off this jar?
0:07:59 > 0:08:00OK.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- SQUEAK! - Ooh!
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Using what is in the box,
0:08:07 > 0:08:12dress up like someone famous and do an impression of them.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Is she Lady Gaga?- Oh, yeah! - Let's see, let's see.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20How about a bit of Lady Gaga?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Yes, yeah!
0:08:23 > 0:08:28# Ra ma, Ra ma ma, ra ma, ra ma ma, gaga, ooh la la
0:08:28 > 0:08:30# Want your bad romance. #
0:08:30 > 0:08:34That was cool! Thank you, you've done really good.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Bye.- Bye.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- She seems really nice. - What about the Man United thing?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Man United, Bolton Wanderers? - Oh, yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I hope I've done enough for them to pick me.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I was myself, I was fun, I responded to the questions well,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I think, so hopefully it all went well.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Can we have number two.- Hi, Georgia.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56What's your name?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Sarah.- She's not smiling!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- See if she smiles when she says a joke.- Go on.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Tell us your best joke.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- Why does Cinderella get dropped from the football team?- I don't know.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10She kept running away from the ball!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12BUZZER
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Do a rap about yourself and put the bling on.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19# My name's Sarah with a capital "S"
0:09:19 > 0:09:21# I'm a bit giddy, I must confess
0:09:21 > 0:09:24# I'm carefree and fun and quite simply I'm great
0:09:24 > 0:09:28# That's why you should pick me to go on this date. #
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- That's good.- That's quite good. - Will you do an impression of a dog?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Woof!
0:09:34 > 0:09:35CRICKETS CHIRP
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Woof?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Right, that's it, thank you, bye. - Thank you, bye!
0:09:43 > 0:09:47She's all right, but she's not... she don't have a smile on her face!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I've answered the questions and I think I've done well
0:09:50 > 0:09:54so yeah, and I've done as best as I can so yes, see how it goes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Next, please.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'm Lucinda, Georgia, hello.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Pull your funniest face.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Do an impression of a dog.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Er, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Er, er!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Rar!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Can you get this lid off this jar?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Aaggh!
0:10:24 > 0:10:28What secret skills do you have?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32I can turn naughty little girls into frogs,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34but I have to do it when I look in their eyes,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36so I can't show you until I meet you.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm not naughty!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40BUZZER
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Thank you, bye.- Bye!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44What do you think?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I like her. She's funny.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Yeah, she's funny?- I think Georgia was quite kind with the questions.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I like the secret skill one, because I hadn't thought about that
0:10:53 > 0:10:55and I like my answer so, yeah!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Georgia, you've seen all three.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02It's decision time.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05What are you thinking? Let's do it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- First, Paula.- Woof, woof, woof, woof!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11She's like a good singer.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14# Gaga, ooh la la, want your bad romance! #
0:11:14 > 0:11:16But the problem is,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20she supports Man United and my Uncle Mark is a Bolton fan.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Oh!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Next was Sarah.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27She didn't smile much.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31She was quite funny.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33She seemed OK.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- And then Lucinda.- I didn't like her impression of a dog
0:11:37 > 0:11:42and she said she would turn nasty girls into frogs.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45So, what about your Uncle Mark's mate, Ste?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47We'll keep him just for a bit.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Just for a bit?- Yeah.- All right.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54OK, well we've got to get rid of one. Who is it going to be?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Sarah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Bye-bye, Sarah.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05I'm a bit upset, but that's the way it happens,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07so I can't really do anything about it.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Tough luck, babes!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14# You only get one shot... #
0:12:14 > 0:12:16So that's one down and three to go.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19We've lined up a fantastic outing for Uncle Mark,
0:12:19 > 0:12:24but who will Georgia pick to go with him, and what on earth will he wear?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28It's not really nice to go out with holes in your jeans.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32To fix this and all Uncle Mark's other wardrobe malfunctions,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35we've called in super-stylist Darren Kennedy.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I've got a real challenge this week.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44On one hand we've got Uncle Mark who likes his clothes worn-in, comfy
0:12:44 > 0:12:46and a bit boring and on the other,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50we've got his niece Georgia who wants him looking sharp and chic...
0:12:50 > 0:12:52a little bit like her favourite pop group JLS.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56All I can say is how on earth am I meant to find an outfit that suits?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I don't know, but I've got to get cracking.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Time to hit the shops, unfamiliar territory for Uncle Mark.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05My Uncle Mark might be a bit nervous
0:13:05 > 0:13:07because like he doesn't know what we're going to pick.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12I think it's good to do this for him because it's like a treat and like
0:13:12 > 0:13:17he's never had it done before and he's always treating us kind so
0:13:17 > 0:13:18we'll treat him like that.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21OK, guys, we're going to go our separate ways
0:13:21 > 0:13:24but Mark, before we do, I think Georgia has a little rule for you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30- No granddad jumpers and no faded jeans.- Good, I like it!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32You go that way, we're going to go this way
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- and we'll see you back in the changing rooms.- OK.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Good luck. Come on, Georgia. OK, Georgia, where are we going?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- No.- No, no, no, no.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43That's nice, do you not like it?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I can tell by your face you don't like it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- OK.- That's nice.- OK.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Why do you like this?- JLS wear it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It is very JLS yep, let's go there.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57JLS is coming up, lots of colour, but my fear is Mark is 30,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59he's a young man but he's not 21.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- That is nice.- Do you like it?- Yeah.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04We have to dress him age-appropriate so he'll look his best.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Don't like them.- Any of them?- No.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- None of them? OK. How about these?- No.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Meanwhile, Uncle Mark is looking a little bit lost...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15there's just too much choice!
0:14:15 > 0:14:20At the moment, it's knowing what to choose. I find that quite confusing.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22And old habits die hard.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Something like that.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28No, no, no, put those jeans down!
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Luckily, Project Manager Georgia's got it covered.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35You thought you were getting away light, I don't think so!
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Have fun!
0:14:37 > 0:14:40For the beach.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Minus the socks, obviously!
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Look at you, you're impressed!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Whoa!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You're not Simon Cowell!
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Pull them down to your hips, there you go.- Try this on.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I like the colour choice.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58That's a better fit, that.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01That is cool!
0:15:01 > 0:15:03The accessories, like the man jewellery,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06when we hear the word "jewellery" we sometimes think,
0:15:06 > 0:15:07women, diamonds, stuff like that.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10And this type of thing, is actually quite manly,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14and it's what people wear these days and it just finishes off your look.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's just getting used to it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Wow! He's well posh!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Thumbs up!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Yeah, fabulous, but where would you wear something like this?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30You won't be walking the dogs with this, if you were to wear that.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- I don't like it.- I do like this look.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It does look more casual than in the shirt, the tie.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Georgia, all we've done here is taken off the shirt and tie,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42thrown a little casual white t-shirt on underneath, so it takes
0:15:42 > 0:15:46your very formal suit and just makes it that little bit more casual.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Fabulous, yeah. - That's what we like to hear!
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I never thought my Uncle Mark would look like this.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55He looks like a completely changed person.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I probably will change the way I shop.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58I'll look and try more things on,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02rather than just walking past and just thinking, "That's OK."
0:16:02 > 0:16:04At long last, Georgia's picked her top three -
0:16:04 > 0:16:07the urban-cowboy look, yee-ha,
0:16:07 > 0:16:12the smart-but-oh-so-cool look, and the I'm-off-to-the-beach look.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15But which one will she pick for Mark's big day out?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17You'll have to wait and see.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20High five! Job well done.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26I've been wanting to change my Uncle Mark's clothes for a long time,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30and today we've done it, so hopefully I've picked
0:16:30 > 0:16:33the right outfit for my Uncle Mark.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Uncle Mark hasn't had a night out in months,
0:16:38 > 0:16:42but that's all about to change because his niece, Georgia,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45is about to take control of his life.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Out of three possible candidates, Georgia has narrowed it down to two,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Paula and Lucinda.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55And of course, there's always the third option, best friend Ste.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58# The club is alive with the sound... #
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Georgia loves the way JLS move,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03so we've invited their choreographer, Simeon Qsyea,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06to give Uncle Mark and the two candidates a street-dance lesson.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08# One, two, three, four
0:17:08 > 0:17:11# The club is a live with the... #
0:17:11 > 0:17:13And she'll be watching their every move
0:17:13 > 0:17:16from the Project Parent surveillance van.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Why have we decided to do street-dancing
0:17:18 > 0:17:20with the two girls and your Uncle Mark?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Because my Uncle Mark's always dancing, so like it will teach him
0:17:24 > 0:17:29how to dance and they can have a chat as well while they're doing it,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and a laugh with each other.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Break the ice?- Yeah.- It's a nice way to do that. OK, it will be fun.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Uncle Mark is rigged up to an earpiece
0:17:37 > 0:17:39connected directly to Georgia's mike.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Hello, Uncle, can you hear me?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44So she'll still be in control of things.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Hello.- Are you all right? - Hello.- I'm Mark.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Mark, I'm Paula.- Nice to meet you. - He's happy!
0:17:54 > 0:17:57You've got ten minutes to learn this piece of choreography
0:17:57 > 0:18:00and then you're going to have ten minutes afterwards
0:18:00 > 0:18:01to practice by yourselves.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- Are you ready?- Oh, yes! - Yep!- OK, cool.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07We're going to go round, one,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11cross to the back, two, six, seven, eight.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12This is one,
0:18:12 > 0:18:16two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18They're enjoying it!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Oh, other hand, other hand.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So I'm going to go, I'm going to leave you two.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Ten minutes is all you have to practice.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But it's not just their dance skills being judged,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35it's personality as well.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Georgia wants to find out how caring Paula is.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Pretend you've lost a contact lens.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Yes!- Oh...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I think I've lost one of my contacts.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Where is it?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59You could help him!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02You're not going to be able to see it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Even I can't see it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Her caring side hasn't impressed Georgia.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- You going to be all right?- Yeah.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12But will there be chemistry on the dance floor?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four,
0:19:15 > 0:19:16five, six, seven, eight.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yes!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- That was good, that!- Yeah!
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'm pleased with my performance.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Hopefully Georgia enjoyed it too
0:19:28 > 0:19:31and saw that I was having a laugh together with her uncle.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34And hopefully she saw, you know, that we could get on.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Next up, it's Lucinda.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Hi.- Hello!- Hi, I'm Mark.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Hello, Mark. I'm Lucinda. - Nice to meet you.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56And now you're going to have ten minutes. I'll leave you to it.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Right, come on.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- One, two.- Two, whoops...- Three.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03They're not talking as much, are they?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06He's too busy concentrating!
0:20:06 > 0:20:10What's needed is a bit of mischief to get the conversation flowing.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13On your last go, pull a muscle.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Aargh!
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Gee!
0:20:17 > 0:20:18I think it's a bit of cramp.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Oh, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- She's helping him! - Are you all right, my love?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Yeah, should be all right, yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- She's helping him more. - You're kind of worrying me now.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Yeah, I think it was just a bit of cramp.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32What do you think of Lucinda?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Not as chatty as the first one, but she did help him more.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41She might have been kind to Uncle Mark, but can she dance?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Sorry!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I hope Georgia does pick me, I hope I have done enough
0:20:51 > 0:20:54because it would be fun to go out and get to know Mark more.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55So, yes, I want to go.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59It's decision time. Georgia's got to pick between Paula,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Lucinda and best friend, Ste.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03What are your thoughts on each one?
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Well, Paula, she helped my Uncle Mark do the dance moves
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and, like, they were talkative,
0:21:10 > 0:21:15but she didn't really help him try to find his contact lens.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Lucinda, she was nice because she helped my Uncle Mark
0:21:19 > 0:21:23when he hurt his leg, but she didn't really talk to my Uncle Mark.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Now has this decision been easy for you?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- It's not been easy, no.- Why is that?
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Because like they're both wacky and they're both sort of caring, so...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- And wacky's good, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Because you want somebody who's fun and energetic.- Yeah, like my uncle.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Who's it going to be?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Um...
0:21:44 > 0:21:46definitely...that one.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54I felt really powerful because everything today was, like, me,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58I got to do everything - to be in charge, to be a boss.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02It's the last day, and finally,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05we're going to see if Georgia's hard work has paid off.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08She's chosen the outfit which is the absolutely perfect outfit
0:22:08 > 0:22:12for Uncle Mark. I've lined up some beauty treatments, just for men,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and I don't think he's going to know what hit him!
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Well, I think we should put the finishes touches
0:22:17 > 0:22:18to Project Uncle Mark.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25What have you got in mind? What do you want to do?
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Remove some of his facial hair because he's very hairy.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Like his hair, I want it this century not like ages ago.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Are you feeling a bit nervous?- Yes.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40OK, well, take one last look at yourself
0:22:40 > 0:22:45because it's the last time you shall see it before the big reveal.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I feel nervous. It feels like being in the dentist's chair,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57but I trust you, so we'll see what happens.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Yep, it's true, men can enjoy beauty treatments, too!
0:23:01 > 0:23:05My Uncle Mark's never had this stuff before.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08When it's all done, hopefully, it will be brilliant!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10We're going to send Mark
0:23:10 > 0:23:13on an exclusive VIP ride on the Manchester Wheel,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15but who will be joining him?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Georgia's got three possibilities lined up and waiting -
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Paula, Lucinda, and of course, Mark's best mate, Ste.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's time to put them out of their misery.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Hi, it's Georgia. I've chose you to go out with my Uncle Mark.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Dress to impress. See you, bye.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Job done.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- And breathe!- Yeah.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38THEY SIGH
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Georgia's invited friends and family
0:23:42 > 0:23:44to the luxury Project Parent suite
0:23:44 > 0:23:46where Mark will be revealing his new look.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I'm feeling quite nervous
0:23:49 > 0:23:52because I don't know how they're going to react.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53She won't tell me nothing.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56When I've asked her, she just won't say nothing at all.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Will he like what you've done, the clothes?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- I think he'll like 'em.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04The moment of truth has arrived,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08it's time to unveil Project Uncle Mark.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Georgia, he's ready.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Is everybody ready? EVERYBODY:- Yeah!
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Three, two, one, come in Uncle Mark!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Whoa!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Give us a twirl!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Whoa!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Well, what do you think?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Speechless!
0:24:40 > 0:24:42He looks like a completely changed person.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I've had a manicure,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I've had my eyebrows plucked...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Do you want to see yourself?- Why not!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Yes, OK, turn around here. OK.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Georgie, you're doing the reveal,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59so are we ready on the count of three?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01EVERYBODY: Three, two, one...
0:25:01 > 0:25:04APPLAUSE
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Fabulous or not fabulous?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Yeah, fabulous!- Yay!
0:25:12 > 0:25:15What's been the toughest part in this for you?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Not being able to see anything.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- And I'm sure letting Georgia have control?- Yeah, that's been really...
0:25:21 > 0:25:22That's been the best!
0:25:22 > 0:25:24That's been nerve-wracking.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Hug!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I'm still in shock, I think.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It's completely amazing.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I didn't expect for him to be so different.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The very close shave made him look a lot younger.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44He should keep up with his eyebrows being plucked now, definitely!
0:25:44 > 0:25:47A really big thank you. I can't believe what she's done...
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Thank you...for taking it on!
0:25:49 > 0:25:53So it's out with the old scruffy Uncle Mark
0:25:53 > 0:25:55and in with the new, smart version.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I've enjoyed the pampering sessions, the clothes shopping,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01seeing Georgia's reaction to the clothes I was wearing
0:26:01 > 0:26:03and just seeing my family and friends' reaction
0:26:03 > 0:26:05was absolutely amazing.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07But Georgia's not done yet.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Who has she picked to go out with Mark?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Hello!- Hi!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Hello.- Hi.- Hello, you OK?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- Yeah, great, fine!- Hello, Georgia. - You look really nice.- You OK?- Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Go on.- Thank you. - Have a good time!- Thank you!
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- Good choice?- Yeah, I'd say so!- Yeah!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42What have been your best bits?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Seeing my Uncle Mark look much younger
0:26:46 > 0:26:50and seeing him go in a limo with Paula.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52And do you think you made the right choice?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yeah, definitely!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Georgia's made the right decisions today, yeah,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I'm really glad that she's chosen everything she's chosen.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Got some chocolates, thank you.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Mark really scrubs up well.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13And he was funny! We've been constantly talking,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15quite a lot of laughter there.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16TOGETHER: Cheers.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18It's going fantastic,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20couldn't have asked for a better day out.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23And how do you think you and your Uncle Mark now
0:27:23 > 0:27:25will go forward from here?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I think we're going to be a bit more closer
0:27:27 > 0:27:31and like we'll probably go shopping together more now.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- And I think you've done a fantastic job.- Thank you.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40All I can say is, thank you, Georgia.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51Wow, what a transformation! Another successful Project Parent completed.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Moo!
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Thanks.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03"Dear Project Parent, my mum's stuck in an '80s time warp
0:28:03 > 0:28:05"and won't stop wearing legwarmers.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08"Please help". We can't hang about.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Another parent, another project.
