Ross Kemp: Living With... - Season 2

Season 2

"I've always believed that to understand a problem, you need to get as close to it as you possibly can. So I'm back meeting people who are living with some of the biggest issues facing Britain today. With almost a million people living with dementia, this is the first of two programmes where I'm meeting people battling with the disease." - Ross Kemp

Ross Kemp's award-winning Living With series returns with a two-part special exploring the real impact of dementia - Britain's biggest killer.

The special, filmed before and during lockdown, forms half of the four-part series which also explores those living with opioids - which are opium-derived drugs - and with being displaced from their homes, to try to gain a vivid insight into their situations.

In each of the programmes Ross immerses himself in situations to gain a first-hand taste of the issues contributors face, and to explore what is really going on in their lives.
