Summary

The Hansen and Gittings families swap homes and budgets for the week - and although they both live in Bournemouth, their financial circumstances differ greatly. Yoko and Richard Hansen live in a five-bedroom house with their one child, take up to four overseas holidays a year and enjoy regular trips to see West End musicals. Their weekly budget is more than £1,300. Sarah and Greg Gittings, meanwhile, live in a two-bedroom flat, and get by on just £116 a week.
