Driving Mum and Dad Mad gets Really Premiere

Twofour's nerve-wrackingly funny documentary following two teenagers as the get behind the wheels for the first time premieres on Really on Wednesday 9 June at 10pm.

It's the pivotal moment in a teenager's life – time to fly the nest and get themselves their own set of wheels. But before they zoom off into the sunset, these teenagers have to learn to drive. And that's where parents find the opportunity to exercise one last bit of control and influence. We've all been there!

This hilarious documentary looks at the volatile relationship between 17-year-olds Verity Abrahams and Joe Pritchard and their parents as the two teenagers learn to drive.

To pile the pressure on even more, this is a competition – Verity and Joe have just three weeks to learn to drive, neither of them has ever sat behind the wheel of a car and they can only be taught by their mum and dad in their mum and dad's car.

At the end of these three weeks, Verity and Joe take their DVLA driving test. Whoever passes wins a perfect second-hand car which is taxed and insured for a year. If both pass, the one with the fewest faults wins. If both fail, there's no second chance and no one wins the car.
It's down to the teenagers and the parents to work together. What are the chances of that happening?
