At Home With Katherine Ryan - All Seasons
Season 1
Katherine Ryan: Parental Guidance offers a unique insight into unconventional parenting techniques and "alternative" lifestyles. From potty training at eight months to co-sleeping, some might consider Katherine's own parenting methods to be extreme - but that's nothing compared to the extreme parents she'll be meeting in this series. With special access to Katherine's family life, viewers will see how she juggles parenthood with the glamourous and often intense lifestyle of being a comedian at the top of her game.
With Katherine's unique brand of unfiltered, comedic honesty she will explore the universal issues facing children today - lifting the lid on her and her husband Bobby's different parenting styles in the process.
Season 2
In a new UKTV Original series, comedian Katherine Ryan once again opens the doors to her family home for At Home With Katherine Ryan (4x60') on U&W, Broadcast Digital's Entertainment Channel of the Year.
Katherine Ryan is back. On your screens, and in her pre-pregnancy jeans! Now that Fenna is 18 months old and Fred 3, the pressure to get back to work has won out, and Katherine's about to start a 10 month comedy tour of the UK and Europe. But that means leaving the family for a few days every week, and leaving husband Bobby in charge. How will he cope with her gone?
To help them to stay connected through this period of change, the couple seek out Marriage coaching from Adeaze Chiwoko, who helps them explore their relationship, and delves into their backgrounds and childhoods to help them understand why they are how they are. Surprisingly for perfect Katherine, there seem to be more problems with her than she expected!
Family life is getting bumpier this year too for the Ryan Kootstra clan, and 15 year old Violet is a force of nature - facing her looming GCSE's but preferring to doom scroll and munch on takeaways. Fred and Fenna are double trouble, running rings around their parents, causing Katherine to catastrophise all manner of dangers when she goes on the road. Katherine's trust in men is rock bottom making the tour a real test of her belief in her husband. Can he parent their children effectively, or will he be too drawn to the golf course?!
This year Katherine is navigating everything from teen social media addiction to how to trust your husband and fertility tests, while travelling the country touring and missing her family terribly. And as Bobby decides to turn the tables on Katherine for a very public roasting, who exactly will have the last laugh?
