Filthy Rich and Homeless - 22/05/2007

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. Clementine can't believe she's been dropped in the crack triangle of Soho, multimillionaire Ravi fails to fulfil his promise of making serious money on the streets, and one night in the cold has Darren breaking down and threatening to head home. With the contributors refusing to beg, where are they going to spend the night in sub-zero temperatures? And will living alongside the poorest members of society send Britain's rich and privileged scurrying back to their affluent lives? Advice comes from former American probation officer Rebecca Pettit and former homeless organization worker Craig Last.
