    About this Episode

    The lack of affordable housing combined with high interest loans - often from illegal loan sharks - means many people on low incomes are struggling to survive in modern Britain.

    The latest leg of our series examining life around the UK takes us to Birkenhead, where we meet families who can't afford to heat their homes, and are too scared to answer the door.
