BBC: Blood, Sweat and T-shirts
Six young fashion addicts swap shopping on the high street with working in India’s cotton fields and clothes factories. Can they handle a sewing machine and meet the target of two garments a minute? And will their experience change their throwaway attitude to clothes shopping?
In this four-part series lunches Aprill 22nd, the six work in the mills of India’s cotton belt and stitch clothes in cramped back rooms, sleeping next to their sewing machine. See how it changes their attitudes to cut-price clothing.I'll try to dig up some youtube videos of the series.

Did anyone else notice the poor cattle tied up at the side of a grubby alleyway with no food or water, and what about the donkey that was tied up on the verge in the central reservation. It seems these people not only have no idea on how to look after themselves but cannot look after their poor animals.These so called clothes addicts were only concerned with the smell of the cow dung, did they not think of the welfare of the skinny cow tied up that was sitting on the concrete. Totally selfish.
You clearly have no idea buddy, and have without question never seen those conditions in reality. For if you did you would understand a few basic things such as bulls, cows & donkeys roam down the main high streets in India not just the back streets so the first hundred or so times the people in the program saw them they probably did mention it was cruel and appalling. But the fact of the matter is you only get to see an edited version of 1 hour of some 150 hours worth of footage that was shot for that first episode! An to call them selfish is about the stupidest narrow minded unthougt-out comment I've heard since that idiot former Boybander Lee Ryan declared "who cares about all the people that died in 9/11..what about all the whales that die everyday". They were, as probably most watching were more concerned about the welfare of the people living there than the animals! Perhaps in the future you will put alittle more thought in before making such hasty comments and remember you're not seeing the true picture just the one the BBC wants to show you! Oh and one last thing, the smell probably had more to do with the open street sewer systems than the Cow dung! At least pay attention next time if you're going to criticise it after.
