I'm going to watch it shortly. To be honest, I think this time around on this programme C4 have not been entirely ethical with their film making. They frequently feature vulnerable people in situations that had they been in a clear frame of mind they probably wouldn't have wanted to be filmed.

For instance last week with Margarita who OD'd, and then afterwards argued with her partner and had an abortion. She talked very candidly about her problems, and she came across as an extremely vulnerable person who probably does not understand the consequences of what she was doing by being on the documentary.

And if they show a person self harming they will obviously be in considerable distress and not in a place where they can consent to being filmed and understand the consequences.
