Britain is feeling the squeeze. With inflation rising to its highest rate for 30 years and energy bills spiralling, households across the country are having to make do with less. So how are people coping?
We followed three families through the first part of 2022, as they try to cope with what is predicted to be the biggest fall in living standards since the 1950s.
"BBC One’s Panorama: Surviving The Cost Of Living Crisis aired last night (11 April) and is an important investigation into how price rises are affecting UK families...While the episode is a stark reminder of the reality of the cost of living crisis, it is a necessary watch...The emotional toll of the crisis is the most poignant thing about this Panorama episode and while statistics prove shocking, it’s the moments where we see Emma trying to compose herself before seeing her children that are the most striking."
