Larry Lamb (famous for playing villain Archie Mitchell in EastEnders and also starring in Gavin and Stacey) is leaving EastEnders and due to star in a new BBC television documentary on unemployed designed to rival Channel 4′s attempt (Benefit Busters).
The documentary is designed to follow probes into how the unemployed are treated – and intended to be more in depth than the “weak” Channel 4 investigation.
The BBC have now decided to look into the lives of job seekers and the issues they face in several locations across the UK. Recent figures showed that the Teesside town of Hartlepool was one of the highest places in the country for unemployment with a high rate of people on the Jobseekers Allowance benefit scheme.
The ATV network earlier in the year went undercover into A4e Gateshead and was sincerely shocked by the poor facilities and lack of anything constituting data protection. A4e have refused to comment on the undercover experience at A4e Gateshead – and responded to ATV with “no comment”.
It seems A4e have been left speechless by the trauma the ATV was left with after seeing undercover evidence of their courses. A4e and Emma Harrison have solicitors and PR teams that should have been able to provide a brief statement contradicting such claims but it seems the hard evidence acquired has rendered any such attempts as useless.
DWP and Jobcentre Plus has not made a comment about *yet again* A4e’s poor facilities being exposed and it seems likely their Flexible New Deal contracts will be left unharmed.
The BBC has made no comment about the unemployment programme they intend to show soon.

Does anyone have any further information. I am curios as to whether or not they took on the fact of the lack of facilities for the disabled.
