    I watched it again. I dont know why, maybe in the hope she will come up with something original.

    Having watched the first programme, only to see the subject later exposed as a publicity seeking fraud, I have put this series in my 'delete' folder.
    There have been some excellent programmes, recently, focusing on debt and, more importantly, the consequences, often disastrous, of debt.
    To see channel 4 'trivialise' the whole subject, purely to win audiences, and, therefore, advertising revenue is, to say the least, disappointing.
    I fail to see any advantage to the public in presenting 'debt' so flippantly.
    Mind you - I can be a miserable s0d - I have only watched one of the programmes and, if my views were not substantiated by the majority of posters here, I could be totally wrong.
    Reality TV? Now Coronation Street :rolleyes:
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
