Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over

Stacey sleeps over at the home of the Sediles, where Lillian, a mother of two, is a member of the growing community of ‘tradwives' – a group of women who have rejected career ambitions in favour of becoming the archetypal traditional housewife. Stacey joins Lillian and her husband Felipe, ‘the boss' of the household, as they celebrate 10 years of marriage and questions if this promise to obey their husbands makes these women as happy as they suggest.

Stacey spends the weekend with professional model Keisha and her seven-year-old daughter Dior, who is following in her mother's footsteps. She joins them for a weekend of modelling shoots and learns how the experience of black women in fashion has changed over two generations.

Stacey travels to the remote Hebridean island of Gometra to spend an off-grid weekend with aristocrat Roc Sandford and his two daughters Blue and Savannah. She learns how Roc raised a brood of eco-warriors; and how deeply he and his children are involved in the controversial Extinction Rebellion and HS2 campaigns.

Stacey heads to Nottingham to spend the weekend with Reece Oliver and his family. Reece brought a taste of the African savannah to Nottinghamshire when he moved two lions and a puma into his back garden near the picture-postcard village of Strelley. Stacey talks to Reece about the controversy surrounding keeping wild animals in cages, asks what drives him to keep wild animals as pets -- and looks at the effect his lifestyle has had on those around him.

Rabbi Mordechai and his American-born wife Blima are parents of nine children, aged between one and 16. As members of the Hasidic Jewish movement, Chabad, they live a strictly Orthodox Jewish lifestyle at home - adhering scrupulously to ancient rules covering everything from diet to marital relations. But theirs isn't an inward-looking or isolated life: Mordechai ministers to a congregation of 800 families across the community with various levels of observance.

Stacey learns about a different sort of parenting when she stays with Dom and Kellie Evans in Wales. Dom and Kellie's lives were upended when their two sons, Lucus and Alexander, were diagnosed with Down's Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy respectively. Stacey sees first-hand the joys and frustrations of raising children with disabilities and learns how their eldest daughter Isabella's sign-language communication with Lucus has turned the pair into an unlikely YouTube sensation.
