Air Date: 2017-11-21
A couple united in love and a shared heroin habit. Jo and Rich live and sleep in a multi-storey car park in central Bristol.

The programme witnesses the council and police joining forces to crack down on begging and rough sleeping. Police officer Mark and council worker Rich are armed with the power of arrest, along with access to the council's support services.

7. Going Country
Air Date: 2022-03-25
A gritty, multi-perspective look at the impact of illegal drugs in a rural community. Rather than focusing on big city drug dealing, this film tells the story of how a gang from the city establish a ‘county line’ and muscle their way into the drug economy of rural Devon. They take control of the supply of drugs by intimidating local dealers and enforcing their authority throughout the underworld. The gang deploys extremes of violence rarely seen before on the country lanes and small town streets of rural England.
