BBC Three Announces Two New Commissions

News Image
BBC Three will follow different groups of people taking on huge challenges, shining a light on the lives and experiences of young people today.

In one series five mums step back in time to live as 21 year-olds once more, while in the other 19 year-old Jack Sullivan steps up as the Managing Director of West Ham United women’s team.

Britain's Youngest Football Boss follows top flight football club West Ham United women’s team and their 19 year-old Managing Director Jack Sullivan in his first full-time job since leaving school at 16. As women's football explodes, the team makes its debut in the professional Women’s Super League, and Jack's dad David Sullivan - one of the richest men in Britain and the Chairman of West Ham United - has tasked him with transforming the club’s fortunes. With exclusive behind the scenes access, this is a revealing and intimate look at what it takes to be a professional female footballer in today’s game, and whether a loveable but inexperienced teenager can change the face of women’s football. Filmed and released across the season, the first two episodes will be released on BBC Three on Wednesday 5th December.

In four-part series 21 Again, five mums aged 35-45 will undergo an age-defying make-under to roll back the years, before attempting to seamlessly slot back into 20s life without being discovered. Armed with a new look, a new wardrobe and a crash course in Gen Z culture, the mums will live in a brand new city with their daughters, who will challenge them to experience the highs, the lows and the daily struggles they face today. What does it mean to be 21 today and will walking a mile in their daughters' shoes ultimately bring these mums closer to their kids?
