Babies in the office - Addison Lee TV Programme

[Sunflower]

Did anyone see this programme this week? It was about the taxi firm Addison Lee letting office workers bring babies into the office.

I missed it. Was it any good? It is worth watching on iplayer?

Sunflower, thanks for the reminder about this.  I saw quite a bit of it - the last one I believe, but had a phone call at the end so don't know the final result.  I found it absolutely fascinating!

[Sunflower]

Thanks Jackie - will check it out. Can't wait to see what happens when the babies cry and disturb the office peace - I'm guessing some very mixed reactions.

Sounds intriguing... you say this was televised?  Would be interested in seeing this myself.

countrigal - have a look at this link - not sure if it will work outside the UK:

[Jackie G]

Yes, this link is ok, but Sunflower and Countrigal, I don't think the BBC iplayer allows you to view programmes outside the UK - something to do with the licence!

[countrigal]

I can't view it from work, for sure.  Blocked site!  (security thing, ya know.  )  So will try from home.  We get some BBC broadcasting on my satelite, so I may watch for this and see if it ever gets televised.  Would really be interested in seeing how a real office integrates babies into the workplace, with all the difference responsibilities babies come with.

While I would have loved an on-site daycare, I don't really I would have been able to do my job with my children around all the time, even if I was assigned a "buddy".
