Episode summary[]
"Dr Stephen Brickley and Dr Ann Gormley both live in West London and have PhDs in neuroscience, but that doesn't mean that they're experts in another field - raising two sets of twins! Ann is feeling completely overwhelmed by her brood, who are running rings round her. But she's also finding it hard to let the children grow up. All four of them, including four-year-olds Aiden and Ella, still have a bottle before bedtime, while Louie and Ciaran only eat pureed food, despite coming up to their third birthday. Supernanny Jo immediately sees there is work to do. The naughty step and naughty seat get introduced, as does some downtime for Ann. Will this sort the family out?" - supernanny.co.uk
