what? i think that, you know, obviously this is a bbc format that has played around the world. it was actually the idea originated with one of the programmers in london. i think there was a moment, a moment of inspiration where he felt and he thought, what would a world be like without women? and let s take it from there. a lot of hilarious hijinx ensue. we have a clip from a dad trying to get his daughter ready for a pageant. behind the stage we had the real professionals moms and daughters like football coaches doing this 40 years for their teams. then you had a bunch of rookies like myself and other dads trying to draw from other people s experience. we looked like a bunch of sad amateurs in comparison. elli, can we have a keep it real moment between us? i m a father of two. my son is 4. my daughter is 3. my wife goes to london for work for a week. about three, four times a year.
okay? i want mommy! i want mommy! in the guest spot today is the doc s executive producer, elli hakami. she is the senior vice president of programming and production of bbc worldwide. the week the women went premieres tonight at 10:00 p.m. on lifetime. elli, welcome. thank you, nice to be here. what were you setting out to do here? was this meant to just be entertaining or is there some serious sociological project here? i think we were setting out, you know, in a very simple way. which is ambitious at the same time. remove all the women out of one american town to see what would happen. with that, that was the goal. what then happened was kind of, as you saw in the clip, was individual stories played out in their own kind of fantastic way. but why remove the women? is the premise here that women are sort of underappreciated and let s see what happens when men are left to their own devices or
impactful for them. i think that what happened with those two for the course of the week was probably the most surprising storyline for me. it s the week the women went. docu series on life time. thanks, elli. meet the banker turned social entrepreneur with an 80% return on investment in america s students.
