Synopsis

Follow groups of three young people per episode as they are taken out of their existing lives and plunged into a week-long, 24/7 experience inside one of four extraordinary and revealing worlds – worlds with clear expectations of behaviour, exacting standards and a way of life radically different from their own.

Episodes

Episode 1

Three image-obsessed, brand-loving shopaholics step back in time to a 1960s-inspired, off-grid hippy commune that rejects all forms of consumerism and puts the planet first. With no phones and no social media, can they find a way to coexist? And will a society that places community before possessions show these conspicuous consumers that it isn’t all about bling?

Episode 2

A group of 18-year-olds who have turned their backs on education find themselves immersed in the disciplined environment of one of Britain’s most elite and traditional private boarding schools, which prides itself on delivering results. Will a lifelong allergy to lessons be tempered in a regime that rewards ambition and self-respect, balanced with strong discipline?

Episode 3

A group of larger-than-life party animals take their Holy Orders as they swap £800 boozy nights out for the calm of an ancient religious brotherhood, dedicated to simplicity, service, and devotion to the Lord. The results, which include ten-pin bowling for 80-year-old Friars on a Friday night out, are anything but predictable.
