Data di messa in onda: Feb 15, 2010

The politicians stay with people who need their help. But while some of the MPs relish the chance to get involved, others are less keen to roll up their sleeves. In west London's racially-divided South Acton estate, Tory MP Nadine Dorries finds herself stuck in the middle as she tries to create harmony between residents and worshippers at a local mosque. Helping residents of the Goresbrook estate in Barking demand answers from the council about their crumbling tower blocks, Lib Dem Mark Oaten gets caught up as police vans swoop to break up a disturbance. In Hull, Labour veteran Austin Mitchell is asked to help find funding for a local youth project that works with hard-to-reach kids, some of whom are well-known to the police. Tory Tim Loughton's host Adrian, feels trapped inside his home through fear of the gangs on the Newtown estate in Birmingham. Tim suggests a football match to give local kids something to do and to keep them away from a life of gangs and drugs. Later on, Tim faces a late night meeting with gang members.
