Do you know the title of this program?

It's a program that was on the BBC which was about comparing the life style of an affluent family with one that much less income. One person from each family lived with the other family for a few days and saw how the other family spent their money.

It was like Ch4 Wife's Swap but it was all about spending. They would see a breakdown of their spending and see what shops they spent their money.

I think the program was on about 1-2 years ago. I was hoping I could purchase it on the BBC Store.

Can you remember the name of this program?

Many thanks :beer:

    I think it may have been called Family Life Swap. Not the most catchy of titles!
    On BBC in 2014

    Are you thinking of 'Britain's Spending Secrets' presented by Anne Robinson? Watched this last year, very interesting series.

    I know the name of a few computer programs.

    But I do not know the name of the TV programme that you refer to.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    I don't know the name of the programme that you're referring to, but I believe the BBC shop is closing. They've had a massive sale on for a while now.

    Just a heads up.

    I watched the program you mean, but I can't think of the title. Will have a google and come back.

    eta - The one I'm thinking of was 'How The Other Half Live' which was on CH4

    BBC shop = online retail store

    BBC store = portal for downloading BBC shows
