The System: Misconceptions

on BBC Two England

The documentary series exploring Britain's social security system.

For the first time, a television documentary team has been allowed inside the controversial Child Support Agency, set up to reduce the money the DSS spends on lone parents. This programme meets the fathers who refuse to pay, the mothers who need the money and the CSA staff who have to probe the intimate stories of Britain's divided families.
