BBC3. Now.
(Not the Roy Mallard series...)

Dammit, I forgot all about this. At least there's iPlayer.

I am watching this, some of it is profoundly depressing.

I like the laundrette family, with the shitting in bins and the Bono-portrait stealing, but the scenes with the young mum and her Lambrini-drinking step-dad made me feel pretty glum.

Indeed, and I was sorry that so few of the characters from the first episode had a proper presence in the second. I feel really bad for watching it because it's basically removing Jeremy Kyle participants from that zoo and watching them in their own habitat, with all the nasty 'see, THIS is what your benefits are paying for!' undercurrent that it implies.

This exactly. I really felt for the young mum, her step father made me very uncomfortable and her mum was just vile to her. Pidge and his landlord was a strange combination too but not as creepy at least. I've read the subjects of the show are not happy with their portrayal (no surprise there then) and want the BBC to can the other 3 shows.
