I had a look but couldn’t see one but sorry if I missed it.
Essential viewing imo if you’ve got an opinion on asylum seekers.
4 staunch “anti” immigration (all for valid personal reasons) visit the “homeland “ of the immigrants and then experience the journey to the uk.
Every episode upset me but I feel more educated on the subject now.

We've got them recorded and very interested in seeing this.

I know someone in the waste management business who was dispatched to one of the refugee camps in Turkey close to the Syrian border. He was a fully paid-up member Reform / Daily Mail / pull-up-the-drawbridge brigade. The experience completely and utterly changed him to the extent that he now volunteers with refugee charities in the UK.

I basically agree with broad points like that. Though one woman's reaction to kids in a hospital along the lines of "at least they havent had limbs blown off" was a bit unsympathetic.

The actual "journey" was complete Bear Grylls bullst. Cameras, the inevitable outboard breakdown, the "oh st I'm so scared" business. Spin the camera round 180 degrees and show us the support boat, blankets, and 20 yard paddle to shore. I've had more dangerous turds.

You either believe It's up to people who live in poor and backward societies to work hard and improve their country or just up sticks, travel to a nicer country and exploit their benevolence.

Or you think it's a bit more complicated than simply deciding between those two things?

Amusing to watch racists out themselves. I'll give the chef guy some due for being a oddly humorous chap.

i couldn't care less what's happened to them or where they come from, absolute garbage hoping to pull at peoples sympathy strings.

I bet there is fakery in the programme.

The best stuff so far is when it's not about changing people's minds from one side to the other but when people see the grey areas. Like the big Barnsley guy speaking to the young Syrian fella that wants to be a nurse in Sweden.

I've just got the bit where they are walking together through the mountains .....

"Lefties, there's something wrong with them all!"

[Terminator X]

Illegal immigration is a red herring imho given the numbers are so very small; legal immigration at 1M a year is a catastrophe either waiting to happen or already happening. It doesn't matter that those coming in may "deserve their place" as the programme seems to show.

ah yes resort to name calling when you realise I'm correct

[Kamov]

Personally i don't see why we don't take control of the movement of illegal immigrants.
So we could go to the source ship them over on safer bigger boats, thus destroying the smugglers over night, in return for giving these people a better life, or a chance at one, we could then get them to work in similar places they would find themselves, farming, labouring etc etc.

Surely the virtuous wouldn't see any problem with that....
Not stop the boats, but start the boats....

several times it stated there was 24/7 security and that the boat trip was staged (although the participants weren’t aware of this) guess you missed this?

Yep clearly I did. To be fair I had a couple of kids doing homework in the room so when the northerners got a bit sweary I would mute it for a bit.
