Filthy Rich and Homeless

In Britain today, the rich are getting even richer. They live a life of privilege, comfort and security that only a few of us will ever achieve, and that many of us can barely even dream about. So what do you give somebody who has everything? Nothing. In Filthy Rich and Homeless, five of Britain's wealthiest people take part in one of TV's most hard-hitting and controversial experiments ever – living the life of the homeless on the streets of London. For ten days, they will give up their luxury homes and lives to live alongside homeless people.

Having surrendered their possessions, each participant is given a crash course in street survival – how to keep warm, where to bed down, what to eat and how to find it, and how to maintain good hygiene living on the streets – then dropped off in a different area to live rough for three nights.

"Filthy Rich and Famous" and "Famous, Rich and Homeless" are two BBC series about rich and famous people who experience what it is like to live on the streets of London accompanied by someone who has done it for several years.
