The Complete Guide to Parenting is an ITV comedy drama, starring Peter Davison as George Huntley, Professor of Child Psychology at London University, best-selling author of Hey Mum & Dad, Get Your Act Together and LBC resident parenting guru. He finds his so-called parenting expertise put to the test, when his wife Phoebe takes a job based in Paris. George has to hold the fort and look after his 7-year-old son Jamie, for the very first time, whilst juggling the rest of his busy life. Whilst scenes are filmed at UCL, which is one of the universities that make up the University of London, it is unclear whether this show's 'London University' is meant to be the University of London. The series was created and written by Paul Smith.
Professor George Huntley prepares for his wife Phoebe's possible move to work in Paris during the week. While he is more than happy that their seven year old son Jamie continues to be educated at the local state primary school, Phoebe is not and is bending every rule she can in a desperate attempt to secure him a place at a top Catholic private school. This includes pretending to be Catholic by attending mass every Sunday. Meanwhile, George volunteers to take charge of his son's class after the teacher is taken ill and finds it is a hotbed of racism and bigotry. When he loses his temper with the worst pupil, mayhem results.
