Filthy Rich and Homeless

29/05/2007

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC ThreeLatest broadcast: on BBC Three

Social experiment, based on a real course that takes place in the United States, in which five wealthy Britons swap their expensive cars, designer clothes and luxury homes for ten days of living alongside homeless people. Charles, Clementine, Ravi, Thomas and Darren are sent back out on the streets in the freezing cold to spend another three nights outside, but this time with 'homeless buddies' who between them have endured years of serious drink and drug problems and spent time in prison.

Soon Ravi is in a fight with his 'buddy' about sleeping in the bushes, Darren is learning how to keep warm, and all the participants have to deal with a snow storm. Show less
