Series 1, Episode 1 - Expectations

Tim Vincent presents light-hearted conversation about what it is like to be a father in modern Britain. In the first show, he and regular panellists Russell Kane and Mick Ferry reflect on their expectations of fatherhood, from pregnancy through to their kids' teenage years and adulthood. They are also joined by actor Chris Bisson and comedian Che Burnley.

Further details

Chris Bisson recalls approaching fatherhood like his acting roles: "This kid malarkey, I thought I'll just do a bit of research, learn my lines and I'll be able to deal with it. Of course, none of that is true and they throw the most unexpected things at you."

In a regular feature, the programme asks the children of one of The Likely Dads a series of questions to determine which of them knows their children better - and vice versa. Chris' four year old daughter Ella is asked how old her dad is, her response: "He's not very old, 800 maybe?"
