Rich House, Poor House

In rural Scotland, two families from opposite ends of the wealth spectrum exchange lives as part of a social experiment. Single mother Angie and her two daughters switch places with affluent business owners Monika and Clifford, experiencing each other's contrasting circumstances for a limited period.

The programme follows a social‑experiment premise set in rural Scotland, where two families from opposite ends of the economic spectrum agree to exchange lives. It pits a modest household against a prosperous one, using the stark contrast between their circumstances as the core of the narrative. In the swap, single mother Angie and her two daughters move into the world of affluent business owners Monika and Clifford. At the same time, Monika and Clifford step into Angie's everyday reality, taking on the responsibilities and routines that define her family’s life. The arrangement places each party in a setting that is completely unfamiliar, forcing them to adapt to new expectations and resources. The juxtaposition highlights how dramatically daily experience can differ when wealth is involved, while also showing how each family navigates the challenges presented by the other's environment. By living each other's lives, the participants gain a direct perspective on the advantages and constraints that come with their respective socioeconomic positions, all against the backdrop of the Scottish countryside.
