Liz McClarnon visits the home of a mother and daughter, where the daughter is embarrassed by the way her mother dresses and acts and the mother thinks their daughter should dress more their age. McClarnon talks to the mother and daughter separately and asks them how they feel about each others looks and asks the mother if she feels she is hotter than her daughter. A lifesize fold-out picture of the two is shown to 5 Members of the 'Great British public', called 'Joe Jury' who consider whether the mother, daughter, or both of them should have a makeover, and the guilty party/ies are given a style overhaul by the Hotter Than My Daughter style team.
Occasionally, two people that are not mother and daughter feature in the show, such as sisters or friends, and this is also decided by a 'jury'. There is no need for a 'Jury' if it is already decided who needs the makeover and they are given the makeover. At the end of the show, the viewers are shown photographs to see if they kept their new look(s).[1]
Series 1 comprised six episodes. Series 2 began on 18 January 2011.
The show led Guardian columnist Lucy Mangan to challenge the BBC to explain how it conforms to that corporation's self-declared mission.[2]
