Working Girls

BBC3, 1/4, series 1 Kaycie
Thursday 03 March 9:00pm - 10:00pm


As the Government pushes ahead with its welfare reforms, this timely series takes work-shy benefit scroungers and teams them with inspirational mentors who hope to show them the value of a good day's work. First up is pampered, preening 20-year-old Kaycie who reacts to the degradations of menial work by flouncing out of her first placement, then launching a foulmouthed tirade at her second mentor. You'll have to resist throwing a hefty book at the screen in frustration. Aside from the reality show trappings - the struggles; triumph over adversity; "the journey" - there is also social commentary about the fight for women's rights and a genealogy aspect in which Kaycie is shown that she comes from a line of independent, hard-working women.
