News Image
A new programme – Taxi of Mum & Dad – has been commissioned by Channel 4.

The 1x60' episode will use a fixed car rig to look at parenting in the family vehicle and explore the relationships between families.

The show has been commissioned by Channel 4 Education commissioning editor Emily Jones. Anna Blue and Will Spokes are the Executive Producers at Princess Productions, part of Endemol Shine Group, who will produce the programme.

Emily Jones said: "Taxi of Mum and Dad is a simple premise that captures those precious moments between teens and their parents when they're not sure you're looking. It's a warm funny parenting programme that says: you may not know what you're doing, but neither do they."

Emma Hardy, Managing Director, Princess Productions, added: "We are delighted that Channel 4 has commissioned Princess to produce such an insightful programme that looks at modern parenting and British family life."
