PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PEOPLE LIKE US (14 March 2013)
Motion Details
That this House congratulates and agrees with the thousands of residents of Harpurhey in North Manchester who have signed a petition condemning the series People Like Us made by Dragonfly Film and Television Productions Ltd for BBC3, as presenting a distorted and unbalanced view of life in Harpurhey which has damaged the image and economic prospects of the area; notes that participants in the series have accused Dragonfly of unethical behaviour by plying young women with drink and then asking them to perform to their cameras; and calls on the BBC not to waste licence fee payers' money on a second series.
