Is anyone watching this series - I really liked him in his film "supersize me", I have only watched the first one about living on minimum wage in the US for a month - I was amazed that the minimum wage had not been increased in America for the last 7 years

During his 30 days of living on minimum wage both he and his girlfriend had to go to an ER - the bill was over $800 - made me eternally grateful fo the NHS even with all of its faults

Channel 4 this week 11.05pm

Just realised that tonights is the last - this is what it says in the Radio Times

Muslims and America

Series in which Morgan Spurlock invites volunteers to immerse themselves in new and alien lifestyles for 30-day periods. In this episode, a Christian husband and father from West Virginia travels to Michigan to live with a Muslim family. Here, he will immerse himself in the Muslim culture and community for a month.

I've been watching it on more4 over the last couple of months.

The one tonight about Islam is particularly interesting. I wish I had seen the one about the minimum wage again, as it really was shocking.

Two healthy, working adults with no dependants and they still couldn't live on it.

Morgan Spurlock is great, but he's only in one or two for the whole time, the rest of the time it's other people.

An episode list is here.

It's a very interesting series indeed.
