There are more that one hundred and fifty thousand Filipinos living in London. We meet two of them who work as domestics - Suzi, who sends most of her earnings home to her four sons in the Philippines, and Juana who's been trying to keep her sick brother alive by sending home all her money, and now is heavily in debt. London also has a vibrant Roma immigrant community. Youth worker Zorba is organising a talent show as a celebration of Roma culture and history. (Signed Version)
20:00 BBC FOUR A Child of Our Time
Return of the series that follows a group of children growing up at the start of the 21st century. At 8 our children are struggling to make sense of gender roles. In the home they see their parents striving for equality. But increasingly they are looking to the outside world for their role models. So in a culture dominated by sex, celebrity and consumerism, what are they learning? And is the divide of the sexes growing? (First shown on BBC ONE)
