World in Action
World in Action was Granada Television’s flagship ITV current affairs series, running from 7 Jan 1963 to 7 Dec 1998, and built a reputation for film-led investigative reporting and a forceful editorial stance. Its journalism produced major public and political repercussions—including investigations associated with miscarriages of justice such as the Birmingham Six—and it also served as a platform for landmark documentary projects, including the first broadcast of “Seven Up!” as part of the strand in 1964.

Depicts England's street children. It is not only countries in distant parts of the world where children live their lives on the streets. Even in the Western world, there are young people who choose to leave their own families or foster homes to fend for themselves. They are short of money and many are lured into crime, prostitution and begging. Some use drugs as a temporary escape. This documentary portrays sisters Mandy and Debbie, two of London's homeless girls who live on the streets of London.
