famous, rich and hungry for sport relief

Anybody watching ? I watched it last year realy hit a nerve with me.

Who is blond boy band type boy?

kilmuir harsh but true. If you choose to have children very young or without the security of marriage or without having built a career first then you are playing fast and loose with the very high chance you will live in poverty. If you then get into debt to buy " stuff" and smoke then well, there you are.

There IS enough benefit money for food it is thta peopel are making choices to spend it elsewhere.

If they refunded through credit unions it would help, but because credit unions don't go door to door the likes of legal loansharks target those who have bugger all

Apparently he's off TOWIE, Quangle. Never heard of him myself!

It's such bollocks. No money, going without food/letting their kids feel guilty for eating (which I think is pretty appalling), yet they've all still got pets. Or smoke.

I wonder how the moneylenders can sleep at night.

I wonder how parents who choose to buy fags over food for their children can sleep at night too.

I noticed they paid nearly £1.50 for 2 litres of milk - it's only £1 in Asda. It seems such a huge difference when you're working at those levels.

Fathers all absent?? What does that mean then?

He's from Made in Chelsea, not TOWIE.

I've seen him in rl, he's quite short, and v orange

But how easy is it to get to the big supermarkets - all ours are on the edge of town...

But this is the cruz of it all isn't it? Most wealthy people are so because of the choices they make - they often make sacrifces short term for long term gain. They delay having families until they are financially secure and married /permanent relationship.

To be honest I was very keen to donate after reading an article in Radio Times by David Tennent, just back from Africa where he visited children earning pennies sifting through rubbish dumps (one of which was the same age as dd1) and families affected by HIV. Stories like theirs are heartbreaking. I want my money to go to those families. Whilst I feel sad for the ones on this programme I just don't think the stories compare so I think I'll find a way to donate to charities that target those I want to help.

Quite easy in London, I'd hav ethought foslady.

Yes - where are all the fathers?

Got to love the TOWIE guy. "I just really miss the choice... the dips... the crisps... the elderflowers..."

What is shocking is that I don't know how much I pay - I just buy the milk I need.

Easy to be judgemental about the fags but don't you have something in your life that you use to get through? Wine, choc, mags, makeup. Everyone has something.

Sorry, Made in Chelsea. I don't know the difference, really!

Ah. Chap with collapsed lung is a very heavy smoker. LOok at his fingers.

One lady is widowed, and the other fathers - well it isn't the mothers' fault if they don't provide for their own children.

They're not showing him smoking now though and he only has a couple of quid left after he's paid his heating.

I don't get why Paul only gets £51 a week if he is on the sick. Surely he should get at least £90. And the mum Theo's staying with - why doesn't she get WTC?

I live in London, nowhere near a big supermarket. Ours are all locals. Nearest is a bus ride away so cost involved in getting there.

whineaholic - people can make choices like having children later in life, but if you get sick or you're made redundant, those choices don't add up to much.

Yes quangle but I don't then go on a TV programme to complain I can't then feed my own children nor do I access food banks to take food donated by kind hearted peopel who are probably struggling themselves.

It is paying off debts that is causing so many of the problems. How can they afford to keep dogs and cats but not feed their kids?
