THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE RETURNS TO CHANNEL 4
Channel 4’s most successful new series in the 9pm slot last year, the Rose d’Or-winning The Secret Millionaire , returns with six brand new episodes. In each programme a millionaire goes undercover and assumes a new identity to enable them to live anonymously as part of the community before revealing who they really are. At the end of their ten-day visit, the millionaires reveal their true identity to the individuals and groups they have met during their stay and who they feel are the most deserving of their own hard-earned cash. Tonight’s millionaire is Gill Fielding who goes undercover in London’s East End.

Hi
I have just watched the secert millionaire and was in tears. Myself and a friend set up and run a charity for adults with learnig difficulties and it’s been a continious battle to keep our profile high and the money coming in to stay a float. I worked for nothing full time for 4years and my friend parttime for 4 years with a great band of volunteers until we sucessfilly gained Lottery funding which then brings its own problems paid but still needing to work more than the average hours to stay afloat. When the chap who run the youth centre spoke about his funding and the cost of running the place, that also hit home with me and it was so great to hear that the young millionaire recorgnised that passion and emotions for others become more important than money for yourself and that there are lots of us out there doing this type of work every day. fighting for others to have a better opportunity to have a little automany and happiness.
This programme is great for educating the wealthy why not try the celbs.

I have enjoyed the secret millionaire on channel 4 but last night I was horrfied with the proggrame on Terry George. Who does the rearch for the proggrame!! In penzance there is a charity running a day centre for the homeless and vunerably housed it it well regarded and used but struggles constanly with funding A care home is a business they do not need charity the owner make money why else would they run this home. The single mother yes she most probably needs the money but that is accepting poor money management it d does not teach budgeting skills life skills to maintain a home it is a rescue package which I feel is wholly inapprioate thier are large numbers of single mothers struggling everyday and yes certainly some I can smpathiaze with e.g the woeman who has fled domestic violence lost everything and trying to rebulid her life with extensive trauma. The elderly couple yes great send them on holiday but with her poor health it made a mockery she could not travel. All the other proggrames have been very thought provaking/challlenging and well planned but this one was an obscene sadness. Cornamll has the highest number of ex serviceman rough sleeping other than london due to property difficulties. They have one of the highest migrate workforces living in very poor conditions we wanted to see the real cormall not the beauty but the core people who maintain a county with extreme challenges.

i would just like to say,i work at bonare care home,and the work everyone does there is very hard work,and obviously,funds are always welcomed to help improve the home for the people living here,to buy expensive equipment,etc.it was very nice that terry george recognised this,as care workers often do get forgotten for all the hard work they do,very often for low wages.we now have a lovely vehicle for taking out residents,some are going out xmas shopping today,which would have been a lot harder to arrange had we not had the money to buy this.as for the so-called “single mother” who got £8000,i can say she no longer works at bonaer,she left after receiving the money(she apparently guessed who he was and used this to her avantage-and conned terry out of this money)!!!!you always get one! why would she go to tesco 3 times a week,with 3 kids,when you have a partner who could stay at home and look after them,and also you have a large co=op store and lidls 5 minutes away!!!

I have just watched one of the secret millionnaire programmes. I must admit that the original Liverpool one got me, particularly when the protagonist realised his ignorance and bigotry to support a local immigrant organisation. However, watching this last one (05/12/07) I have felt conned, yet again, by CH4, into believing that your focus is on equal representation etc etc etc. This programme was a blatant example of the benefits of a plutocracy and in no way redressed the balance of a failing society to provide for its most needy. Those who ‘benifitted’ didn’t do what they did for the cash of a benificiary, rather, they are the people keeping alive the idea of community in spite of propaganda to the contrary. This programme sullies that tradition and gives kudos to the very people who have prevented it happening in the areas in which they ‘work’.

Hello Mo
It is good to see that help is there for the under privaledge. I watch the show frequently and that you have helped alot of people, Mo i hope that you can help me with my health problem, as i have exhausted all the avenues that i have access to.
I am a single mum with a 19yr old son who is in college,and in no way sympathetic to my problem and shows no respect, but expects me to provide for him.
It seems like i have come to the end of a brick wall, and noone seems to beable to help me. I cannot work to support myself because of my health condition. I have a spinal problem that has gradually deteriorated over the past 4yrs now. I am not able to do the simplist things like bending over the basin to wash my face, or bending my head or turning it from side to side. I an unable to even stand at the stove to prepare a meal for myself, or simple house hold chores. I would like to be independent again, as i feel my life is at a stand still,always depressed cause of my condition every day in pain. I have on many occasions contemplated suicide as i feel this is the only way out. No more pain. Please help, i would be most grateful if you would help me or direct me to someone who will be able to help me with my health condition so that i can be independent active and live a normal life again.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
yours truly
celestine
