Ladette to Lady is a reality based series that first aired in the United Kingdom on ITV in June 2005. The series was produced by UK-based RDF Media. The second series of Ladette to Lady was aired in the United Kingdom in October 2006 on ITV. The show had viewing figures of 4.45 million to 5.41 million, winning its timeslot each week. A third series followed in 2008, although it was originally planned to air in 2007. Ladette to Lady was cancelled by ITV on 11 April 2008, but returned in June 2009, featuring Australian, rather than British, ladettes. The series featured the original staff and school. Ladette to Lady returned for a new series that started at 10.35pm on 20 July 2010 that will bring another 6 episodes to ITV. The series saw the return of the familiar staff. However, instead of Eggleston Hall, where all the other series have been featured, this series is based in Hereford Hall. The series has been parodied on The Charlotte Church Show as Lady to Ladette, in which, conversely, prim and proper girls are taught by Charlotte and some of her raucous friends to behave in a more ladette-like manner.

Annawilliams247 I really cannot understand why people watch this programme. My mum likes to watch it and when its on I can't leave the room quick enough!It follows a bunch of spoiled,nasty vile creatures the type of people you would try to avoid in real life, otherwise known as the ladettes.See this is where I feel lies the first problem, the main subject of the programme ( the ladettes) are so horrific and thoroughly annoying that I don't wanna waste any time watching their antics. Its kinda like being at a party and there's always one douchebag show off person and because they are so desperate for attention and irratiting, you try your best to avoid them the whole night. The second problem is if we as viewers are instead supposed to take the stance of disliking the ladettes then presumably we are supposed to like the teachers, well they too are unlikeable.They all come across as a self important and pretentious. Another thing (maybe its just me , i don't know) is that the episodes when there is a ball or dinner going on and the ladettes have to impress the gentlemen, i find those episodes really awkward and idea of it quite disrespectful. I know that the teachers are trying to turn the ladettes into ladies but the teachers make sure the ladettes do everything perfect to impress the men , it seems slightly sexist to me. At some points in these episodes the men aren't even on their best behaviour and they hardly even try to be gentlemen like. Its like one rule for one type and a different rule for another. Sometimes the ladettes get upset/cry during the dinner/ball episodes and it's probably because the teachers have tried to change the ladettes so much, even though i dislike the ladettes its not exactly the most light entertaining spectacle to watch. I also dislike how the teachers make sure all the ladettes are wearing perfect lady like clothing with not a piece out of place, just all this effort so the ladette can impress some snooty rich type who lives off his daddys money. It feels like the ladettes are made into just objects who stand and try and look pretty. Thinly veiled sexism is what i see. But that might just be my take on it. But overall this programme will only infuriate you,make you feel uncomfortable or result in a loss of I.Q, don't bother watching it.
Imnozy I ignored the first few episodes of this series - mainly put off by the strange title! When I accidentally clicked on to the pay TV channel it is run on, I started watching out of curiosity - and was hooked. What a motley crew of girls these people have chosen for the show! I have the impression that very few of them have any wish to improve themselves one iota - and are just in it for what they can get. Regardless of this, it is compulsive viewing - I will stay with it to the end in the hope that at least one of them shows some improvement in appearance and behaviour. Having said that, I wouldn't wish to change it - there is a lot of humour and a fair bit of insight into human behaviour in the show. Probably the most interesting is to see the impossible goals set by the ladies who run the "finishing school" - they obviously are living in another era - and seem determined to transform the girls into some sort of throwback to the 1950s. I look forward to finding how it all turned out
IridescentTranquility In spite of the criticism about this series, I've actually quite enjoyed it. I don't think it's that the teachers are patronising so much as that they and the girls are from completely different backgrounds. If they weren't, there would be no tension and therefore no point in the series.I don't know if the series was inspired by the musical My Fair Lady, but I'm tempted to compare it. The difference here, however, is that the girls can't just switch to ladylike perfection in the space of five minutes because they are real people, taking part in a real experiment. Following that logic, it makes sense, as they're at the school, to put them in situations (parties, holidays etc) that they are used to, in order to assess whether they're putting their new social skills to good use or not.At university, I often come up against people whose social behaviour would certainly shock the teachers at Eggleston Hall, and sometimes I think that this sort of finishing school experience is exactly the thing some people need. I'm only twenty-two, but sometimes I'm actually shocked by people in my own generation (male and female). I think I might be atypical of girls in my age range, but I've never fitted into the stereotype of the hard-drinking, partying teenager, so I actually wish I could do something like this for myself (for the experience as much as social improvement) and I don't often think that about much that I see on television. I'll definitely be watching the series until the end.
Chris Gaskin As I write this review, ITV have just axed two new reality shows, Fat Families and The Real Good Life. At the same time, we get a further new one, this rubbish, Ladette To Lady.This one is about a group of loud, foul mouthed and unpleasant women who spend most of their time getting drunk and they have to do a variety of challenges to make them more ladylike and attractive to the men. These challenges include cooking meals and learn how to be more polite to others. One of them gets axed after each episode.How you can call this entertainment is beyond me and the language in this is awful. All these women can do most of the time is shout and swear. Also, where have ITV picked up the word ladette and what is a ladette supposed to be? It doesn't seem to be in the dictionary or on the computer spell checker.ITV bosses still haven't got the message that viewers are fed up with shows like this. What a load of rubbish.
