I watched the first one of these on iPlayer and thought it was really well done. It is a documentary about teenagers living in poverty in the UK, and they seemed to do a very good job of offering up an honest portrayal without coming across as patronising. Bits of it were really fucking depressing though, and gave me a lot of perspective on how fortunate I am. It's worth watching I'd say, the people they follow are all pretty interesting in their own way, and there are some lessons to be learned here.

EP 2: Lads

The Economist seemed to like it too

Just watched the lads episode, don't think you can catch the girls one anymore. That was pretty interesting and pretty damn bleak.
