Episode 1

In this episode we head north to meet two families where the unfair division of labour at home forces both wives into taking drastic action. Gaynor runs a hair salon and is married to Paul, a property developer. They live in a beautiful house in Bolton and are parents to sixteen-year-old twin boys. It's a pretty perfect snapshot of family life, so what's not to like? The issue is Gaynor does "75%" of the household chores and thinks the twins are old enough to start putting in a shift too. Dad Paul has different ideas and doesn't want their abode to become a workhouse.

Down the road in Oldham, we meet Sarah and David and their 16-year-old son. Sarah, a part-time dog groomer, feels she's somehow morphed into a maid at home and is not happy about it. She does everything in the house including a lot of cleaning up after their bulldog and she wants more out of life. For husband David, an operations manager, the old-fashioned status quo is working. He's the bread winner but unwilling to ever make toast. He hasn't got time for chores (or dates for that matter) and can't let anything get in the way of his beloved Man City.

Both wives revolt, make their demands and bond over the menopause, becoming "HRT Sisters". Their husbands' immediately "rude" responses do not go down well. Paul pushes back on Gaynor's plans to enlist their kids' help and David and his son can't get their heads around an omelette, let alone the mess resulting from their bulldog's dinner.

The wives do not give up and neither do their friends, even when things get frosty. Can David seize love with a homemade salad? Can Paul talk to the boys about women's issues?
