OMG I can not believe this programme I am watching! A man has 20 children, and lives with a handful of them and his new wife. They claim incapacity benefits because he is an alcoholic and cant work drunk! I could understand him getting support to kick the habit, but they are paying him to stay home and drink. There is no programme set up for him to help him with his condition! Then, he sat his little girl (maybe 3 or 4) on his knee and got her to sing this song with him (to the tune of Oh Mandy)...

'Oh Strongbow,

you came and you stopped me from shaking,

and I need you today, Oh Strongbow!'

I am sat here completely shocked! He then sent his 14 year old sone out on the streets to sell an item of theirs to make enough money for him to get some more alcohol as they werent due to be paid for some days. You just would not come on tv and broadcast this kind of parenting, or is that just me? I dont know what to say, Im so shocked!
