Just seen this on the news....looks like essential viewing.

I can smell the rich, luxurious aroma or freshly boiled wee from the more knee-jerky members of PH as I typebiggrin

Not sure about this. It didn't show the woman on housing benefits in a good light. The Afro-Caribbean woman was moaning about the council cutting the shopping service to her father when surely she could help him do the shopping at the weekend herself or use a Tesco delivery service for £5 a time.

If anything, I thought the programme was justifying the needs to cut costs and the difficult decisions that need to be made.
I agree, even though I have not seen the programme.
I saw the woman on the news, she certainly didn't do herself any favours, and as said, when it comes down to justifying yourself face to face with somone on the same level it cannot be done.
