Anyone watching? c4 now

Yes, Sole, quite open about it too.

Please, please don't think everyone from Scunthorpe is like this - they're the exception to the rule, honestly..........

Sorry, should clarify, the program generates the sentiment Don't give them jobs, don't live near them, don't speak to them.

Handmini that is known as a moral panic see here.

This is making me so sad....

These kids! Some of them have only got to be 7 or 8! Such a destructive cycle

I'm really disappointed that channel 4 would show this shite. It's just more ammo for people who want to bash benefit claimants.

Woah, I live near Rochdale, most depressing place in the UK. This programme is making it look good in comparison!

I'm not watching it now, is it worth watching on 4od?

The girl on the game made me v sad.

The young lads remind me of the book urban grimshaw and the shed crew

Yes. Badly named. And very sad.

Bteakouy! I couldn't quite make it out what she was doing, i thought selling drugs.

She looks quite old.

Does this program have an agenda to encourage the opinion that all those poor and on benefits are scum?

What is it hoping to achieve?

So sad and scary

I agree the title is terrible, their attitudes are a disgrace.
It's a cycle that will struggle to be broken, generations of the same behaviour...

Foslady are you a fellow sunny scunny ite? Agreed that most of us are not like that. I've heard rumours that at least some of the program was set up or staged. Don't know how true that is.

It isn't just Scunthorpe or so called 'deprived areas'. I did intensive youth work in Cambridge for 6 years and the scenes with the motorbike kids etc happened just the same..

Oh and now the dog... Stereotype anyone!?

The dog scenes terrify me....those animals look totally out of control.

Yes, DrCoconut - dad was on steelworks, moved to Ashby when I was 12 and moved in and out from the age of 21. Just looked on thisiscunthorpe - a comments says that many of the families relations have 'gone away' for a few days....too embarrassed....

Sorry, thought the first attempt had got lost.

And me handmini :(
