It's not 2 hours though, is it? They all know it's coming and have had ample time to try and sort something out.

I do have sympathy to a certain extent as it must be really horrible but they've had multiple warnings.
Its definitely not 2 hours. From the first official notice to enforcement turning up at your door is many months of notices, court action, judgments etc. The bailiffs actually book an appointment with the tenant so they know exactly what time they are coming.

There is zero chance that a Tenant does not know they have to leave.

You need to watch the programme. What happens is the housing office will tell them that they won't do anything until they are evicted and to come back with the date if eviction.

Landlord then punts it to high court, who evict much quicker and with no notice at all... Chaos then rules the day.

I think you might be thinking about the County Court bailiffs as opposed to HCEO. The CCB process is (IME) longer, as you describe. From the way my Solicitor described it the HCEO guys are quicker and don't mess about but cost £1000+ rather than a couple of £100.

Guy refuses to pay his rent yet drives away in a 14 plate car. The tenant even called the police just to basically use them as a free removal service. rolleyes
Exactly how can they afford to insure and run it but can't afford rent?
I guess it's a motability or such like car.

My mistake yes it was CCB in my case. That there has still been a court order to leave + the notice to quit etc.

The debt was £16k but they took the keys to all 5 coaches. Seems a bit over the top. The owner mentioned doing school runs, but some of those coaches were Continental long-distance jobs. On lease I suppose.

Glad to see the old guy was rehoused by the local authority. Even the landlord sympathised, but why was everybody misled for 2 years? Crossed wires, or somebody telling porkies?

I sympathise with you over the latter people, but some of them are just selfish con-artists, deliberately not paying their bills, and hoodwinking everyone.
