Mum's on Strike was a daytime programme on ITV.
Each programme features two families. The mother of the house heads off in a limo for a weekend of pampering, leaving father in charge. The mum will remove the one item from the house she reckons stops him pulling his weight in the first place.
The mums leave a list of chores that need doing, and so the dad will really appreciate her work load she won't have stocked up on food over the last week, or done the laundry.
On day two, the dad has to face a task their partner reckons he's always avoided in the past. It might be taking all three youngsters shopping for school shoes, or preparing a picnic and taking them out for an activity day.
Meanwhile, back at the health spa, the mums are able to watch film of their partners' efforts.
After the two days are up, the mums go back home to their partners and children. Then, one family out of the two wins a prize.

The show was presented by Jeni Barnett, and the judges were chefs Gino D'Acampo, Richard Phillips and Alex Mackay. All three of the chefs have excellent credentials and aren’t afraid to speak their minds.
The problems for the kitchen wannabes – or chefettes as presenter Jeni calls them – is that they have the pressure of time to contend with, an unfamiliar environment and a professional chefs tongue for tasting – or lashing!
The show started with four teams of two people and each team had to cook a starter in ten minutes, a main course in twenty minutes and a pudding in ten minutes. They were given the title of the dish and some key ingre
