Axolotl CyberTool Academy UK - S01E01: Episode 1 Originally aired: January 10, 2011 on E4
In the very first episode of the UK’s Tool Academy, we meet the men who’ve been secretly enrolled by their frustrated partners in this intense relationship boot camp. These unsuspecting "Tools" believe they’re competing in a contest to prove their manliness, but they’ll soon find out they’re here to transform their reckless behaviour and prove they’re capable of being committed partners.
Among the group is "Temper Tool", a guy with a short fuse who struggles to control his anger; "Stoner Tool", whose love for weed is driving a wedge between him and his girlfriend; and "Randy Tool", who takes things too far by cheating on his girlfriend during the show—sneaking off with another woman into the club toilets.
As the guys face the reality of their toxic behaviour, the question is, will they rise to the challenge and start changing for the better, or will they remain the same Tools that brought them here?
