The World's Strictest Parents (or World's Strictest Parents) is a television series developed by TwentyTwenty Television, originally broadcast in Britain by the BBC. America's CMT (part of MTV Networks) and Australia's Channel Seven have both created localised versions of the programme, with the CMT episodes frequently rebroadcasting on MTV. There is also a German version called "Die strengsten Eltern der Welt" (The strictest Parents in the World).

The concept is that two so-called "unruly" teenagers are sent to live abroad with a strict host family for a week in an attempt to change their behaviour. During the week they receive an impact letter from their real parents with a list of issues they should try to fix.

United Kingdom

Unruly British teenagers are sent abroad to live with strict families in an experiment to find out the right way to bring up a child. Generally they spend 10 days with their adopted parents trying to live within their rules.
The first series was broadcast on a Thursday.

Unlike the original series, the teenagers remained within the United States, as the program was produced with a reduced cable network budget rather than that of a national broadcast network, and law and passport concerns as some episodes would likely feature subjects which would not meet passport regulations. Another difference was that their own parents came for them and evaluated the stay with the host family.

Unlike the original series, the teenagers don`t know they are going to different parents; they think it`s a holiday trip. The new family usually does not speak German and the teenagers likewise usually don't speak any other language then german so they can only talk through translators. Therefore they do not have long conversation or are given advice as in the original series.

Poland
