There are also many other international foreign versions (listed below) including an Australian version, a New Zealand version, and a German ([[German language]])-version titled "Die strengsten Eltern der Welt" (The Strictest Parents of the World). As well other locales to have locally produced adaptations include Scandinavia, Turkey, and Poland. The series won an [[International Emmy Award for best Non-Scripted Entertainment]]. Since 2013, the official YouTube channel has been uploading small snippet clips from many of the episodes, largely the UK, US and Australian broadcasts: however, these snippets, in some cases, were just whole episodes broken into smaller notable highlights of an episode. As of 2019, this has been extended to entire episodes, starting with the UK version and then moving to the Australian version. These episodes, in some cases, are not complete re-uploads of the broadcast: for example, the rundown of the teens at the beginning has been cut in some cases, depending on the teens who were broadcast in the episode. In addition, censorship has been done with profanity and surnames of certain people. The censorship has taken the form of either blurring the mouth during swearing and surname (if included) or profanity and names being [[Bleep censor|bleeped]] in the audio tracks. Alongside these edits, the ending credits sequence is not included. ==United Kingdom== Unruly British teenagers are sent to live with strict families in an experiment to try to change their behaviour. Generally they spend 10 days, later 7 days, with their host parents trying to live by the latter's rules. All series episodes were broadcast on a weekly basis. ===Series 1 (2008)=== Series 1, which was filmed in the summer of 2008, had six episodes and aired from 18 September 2008 to 23 October 2008 on [[BBC Three]]. {|class=wikitable !Episode!!First Aired!!Teenagers!!Family!!Notes!!BBC Episode Guide |- |1||18 September 2008||Naomi Fisher (16, [[Brighton]]) and Ross Torry (16, [[Southend]])||Mark and Lynn Garnett (A pharmaceutical company worker and part-time teacher) in [[Birmingham, Alabama]], [[USA]]||In the first episode, the teenagers, Ross and Naomi, are both the same age.
