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

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...

Quote:

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 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 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

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

Kell_ee001 · 17-11-2006, 16:38

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.

Episode 2 of 30 Days starting now on More4 although I think it's also repeated at midnight
