About this season
People Like Us is a British reality documentary series broadcast on BBC Three. The programme tries to reflect the true lives of some of the residents of the Harpurhey district of the city of Manchester, which according to the programme has continually ranked as one of the most deprived in the UK. It has been critically panned both in Manchester as well as the wider UK for showing a very stereotypical view of the residents. Each episode lasts 60 minutes. The narrator of the programme is Natalie Casey.
