BBC Two - The Mighty Redcar, Series 1, Episode 2

Kaitlyn and her mum Kat are facing the prospect of having to move house again.

Real-life soap opera, filmed over a year in North Yorkshire. Kaitlyn is about to get her GCSE results whilst also facing the prospect of her and her mum having to move house again.

In episode two of this real life soap opera set in Redcar, North Yorkshire, we catch up with 19-year-old James, who is being mentored by local businessman Ray to help keep him out of trouble. When Ray discovers James has been arrested for a crime he is adamant he didn't commit and could ruin his chances of starting a new life, everyone is hoping James gets the verdict he needs. He has worked so hard to try to turn his life around and be a role model to his younger siblings, and Ray has organised a job interview for him. However, a conviction would mean the company can't give James a full time job.

Sixteen-year-old Kaitlyn has a big few days ahead of her - she is about to get her GCSE results but what is making it difficult is the prospect of her and her mum Kat having to move house again. Safy is 15 and has been identified as one England's rising netball talents, and her local club is trying to get her a scholarship at a leading private school that focuses on netball. It is a massive chance for Safy, but her mum Aicha knows that if Safy gets this chance it is going to put huge pressure on the rest of the family.
