Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days six part series (Season 2) started tonight on More 4. I've been waiting for this to come out and I almost missed it :shocked: otherwise I would have posted a heads-up earlier (sorry!)

I'm sure everyone has heard of his movie "Supersize Me" and this is similar...

An unscripted, documentary-style program where an individual is inserted into a lifestyle that is completely different from his or her upbringing, beliefs, religion or profession for 30 days.

Here (http://www.amazon.com/30-Days-Season-Morgan-Spurlock/dp/B000EXDRZ8/sr=8-1/qid=1163644700/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-4564455-0314341?ie=UTF8&s=dvd) you can watch the Amazon Fishbowl video where Morgan explains more and talks about the new series.

Season one covered Minimum Wage, Anti-ageing, Muslims in America, Straight Man Living in a Gay World, Off the Grid and Binge drinking Mom, although the last one I obviously managed to miss :(

Tonight episode was Jail. Never one to shirk a challenge, the first film sees Morgan Spurlock swap his comfortable home, as well as his freedom, for a tiny 10 by 7 feet prison cell with up to three other inmates.

Next week he covers Immigration - we'll see the unlikely pairing of a border patrol guard with an illegal immigrant Mexican family in East Los Angeles.

I haven't yet watched one of these that hasn't moved or amazed me in some way - a really fantastic documentary. If you liked Supersize Me, then you have to see some of these!

More information as well as clips can be found on the More4 (http://www.channel4.com/more4/documentaries/doc-feature.jsp?id=7) website. :)

Instead of "Wife Swap", it's "Life Swap"!

Thanks for the heads up, as Kitten said we recorded it but not sure where it is :undecided: For some reason it appears Season 1 has started downloading on my machine :D

Want the episode you've missed when we've watched them?

Any chance of making me a copy and bringing it to Swansea? :D

All of them, if it's not too much trouble? :)

It would be great to have a copy without having to get them imported from the US.
