, are scrapped when things get back to normal though - perhaps because of my own experience of dating an alcoholic.
And I will admit to a certain amount of 'I may not be perfect, but I'm not THAT bad' while watching it too .
I find it especially touching when two families really seem to gel, and make friends over the conference table at the end .
Wife Swap is on Channel 4 on sundays at 8PM. Or, you can watch it at www.4od.com, where they have many episodes stored ,
