How the Other Half Live is a British documentary series, broadcast on Channel 4 by the creators of the similar social benefit programme The Secret Millionaire.
Every episode focuses on a new pair of families.
The children of the families swap DVDs and meet in person with their parents to explore their mutual lives and homes.
The richer family then provide social and economic support to improve the situation for all involved, which normally includes the families meeting in person multiple times, and educational improvements for the children, as well as housing and monetary assistance.
