This is definitely the programme to watch to lift your spirits and to re-instill the belief that there is good in everyone.
The programme matches a fortunate family with a less fortunate family, who are often in severe financial hardship. I won't spoil it for you but the main observation I have made is that regardless of financial circumstance children from all walks of life posess a spark and that shines through, and which with a little luck, or good fortune will help mould them into fine adults in the future....
Working at the start of my career in television in the mid eighties, I was sound recordist for a BBC2 programme called First Sight and then Friday Report. These programmes also looked at the social issues of the time, many of which don't seem to have differed, and I often wonder what happened to the children's lives we showed back then.
