I have been enjoying Secret Millionaire on Channel 4. It just has a great feel good factor. Apparently in the latter shows people are starting to get savvy as the show has been on for a while. The concept is simple:
Each week a millionaire leaves his/her luxurious life behind, takes on a secret identity and lives undercover in a deprived area of the country for a week to ten days. Living on a limited budget with no modern conveniences they must forge their own way in the community – working and volunteering alongside the locals and finding individuals or projects whom they think deserve a cut of their fortune. On their final day, the millionaires come clean and reveal their true identity to the people they have chosen, surprising them with overwhelming gifts of thousands of pounds or dollars to improve their lives.
Another show I like at the moment is called Tower Block of Commons on Channel 4. Politicians swap their comfortable homes and move into council estates across the country, encountering first-hand the reality of residents' lives. It's nice to see them finally get a dose of reality.
Location Location Location is another great show on Channel 4. They basically help prospective home buyers find a house. It's interesting to see the current cost of property around the country. It gives me a nice reminder of how expensive it is to live in Britain.
Let me know if you have any recommendations.
