Well, I'm surprised anyone expects an 8 or 9 year old to know how to cook, never mind use a washing machine. They're CHILDREN and not even teenagers.

I agree joust - the 8-year-old girls definitely are the sensible ones.
The boys - ah, more crying done by the boys than the girls

dignity is overrated
I liked it when the voiceover man said
'the boys have drafted up a list of rules for the house, the majority of which are about waterfighting'

I've got to watch this. It sounds ace.

I used to gnaw on raw spaghetti as a child

I don't think anyone's going to deny that boys tend to be less mature than girls at that age, particularly because their parents tend to reinforce boys' play routines and greater domesticity in girls.
On the counterside the girls do seem markedly better at being bitchy, forming subgroups and holding grudges.

If I were one of the girls there, I'd move into the boys' house

The lack of co-operation these kids show is worrying. School, while a social environment, doesn't provide kids with much of a concept of mutual aid it would seem. If these kids could figure out that their lives will better if they all help each other out a bit then perhaps the ganging up, bullying and the microscopic class system they've created would be less of an issue. You'd think this environment would be fertile ground for an egalitarian society what with everyone starting off in the same position and with the same resources available to them*, but perhaps the kids have already learnt too much from adults about competition and infighting 
*Except for skills and knowledge of course, and as we all know division of labour is the first stage in the development of hierarchy. If only one kid can cook, that kid suddenly becomes very powerful...

You know where you are with violence, but I can't stand backstabbing and plotting

not saying i'm suprised, just interesting how effortlessly and quickly they stepped in to a pecking order - especially the girls.
I reall like the bit when the boys tried to enforce a law and one of them was wielding a rake. I was just looking at thinking, some ones going to get hurt. The scene ended just as the camera man shouted woah

Exactly, being anywhere with that many females would scare the shit out of me
As for the lads, that mother should have made her son stay.
That young one from Peckham has a bit of a wild streak and swears a bit as well

I wouldn't inflict this kind of crap on my children -- it's bloody obvious it's all going to go wrong, that's the whole point isn't it?

Was that kid eating uncooked spaghetti?
I used to munch uncooked spaghetti all the time as a kid... yummy

That doesnt suprise me actually. My boy is much softer than my girls, no matter how he appears on the outside

Pleasant and unpatronising
Finding it an intriguing concept and almost wish 'Elf and Safety/modern sensibilities would have allowed for a proper Lord of the Flies experiment - C4 have even found their Piggy. That's def what this idea is angling at.
Would have liked to know if the idea of having rules (on day 2) came to both the boys and the girls themselves or whether it was introduced, I think almost certainly the latter.
Parental motivation is also fascinating.

No dialogue. Just plot.
