Season 2
Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over returns to W for a brand-new series which follows the award-winning documentary maker as she spends 72-hours as a house guest, exploring more unseen areas of modern relationships and extraordinary family life in the UK.
This series features a wide variety of fascinating families, each with their own routines and rituals that make them so unique. These include, a Tradwife who has put her career ambitions to one side and opted for a more submissive role in her marriage, a strictly Orthodox Jewish couple who have nine children and adhere scrupulously to the ancient rules set out by their religion, and an eco-warrior family who live on a remote Hebridean island and regularly participate in XR protests.
From sharing family meals to attending important life-changing events, Stacey gets involved in all aspects of the families' lives to intimately explore their attitudes to love, relationships, religion, parenting and money. Honest and insightful, the series reveals the things that make us different but also the things that we all have in common.
Episodes
Tradwife
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.
Child Model
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.
Eco-Warriors
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.
The British Lion King
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.
Strictly Orthodox Jewish Family
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.
Living with Down's Syndrome
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.
