Always someone comes up with the "scripted" comment on here
And your point is ? This is how I saw this programme, TwelveLegged put it much more eloquently than me.
I have yet to see a programme of this type where there isnt a huge element of feckless parenting. I've never see a programme where the children were poor but lived in a nice clean house without trashed filthy furniture and bedding...if there is bedding at all. And whats with all the grafitti and scribbling on walls and furniture
Obviously this is what the programme makers want to show as they think its good viewing but it does a big diservice to those who are genuinly struggling.
