    I too thought the first family were really in need and so very grateful. Personally i didn't think the last episodes parents seemed totally grateful but thats just my opinion, if my hubby was offered a job etc like that and the opportunities i'd been screeching with joy! I have just watched the second one, cannot believe the mother, the selfishness and that they class them as poverty as they get a month more than what we live on, and we don't get any help. It must be purely down to bad management as we are able to have our house, 2 cars and are careful but get by on normally less than they get! Anyway if they ever make another series it would be good to see some really needy families helped, those who really have to struggle even to fill their cupboards. I think the wealth families have been great and the second lot in particular. Going to bed now all wound up over that mum!
