We Are England (2022 TV programme)

We Are England is a regional documentary programme shown on BBC One.[1][2] The programme replaced regional current affairs show Inside Out. A notable change is that episodes represent large new combinations of English regions, based in six main bases (Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, London, Newcastle and Norwich); each week is themed around a different subtitle, with the first being 'Mental Health.[3]

Broadcast

Aisling O'Connor, the head of TV Commissioning for BBC England, commissioned 120 episodes to be broadcast in 2022, with the first being shown on 26 January 2022 at 7:30pm.[4][5][6][7][8] In-addition to being shown on BBC One, select episodes are also repeated on BBC News.[9]

After the Farming England[10][11][12] episodes were shown on 16 February 2022, the series moved to its new regular timeslot of 8:30pm for its set of episodes based around the title Belonging. This move was due to the BBC's decision to schedule a new 'soap hour' over its two main channels with a regular timeslot for EastEnders on BBC One at 7.30pm.[13]

Episode list

In February 2022, two separate episodes were pulled from broadcast, at late notice, citing "editorial concerns".[14][15] The first one was Unfiltered a BBC Cambridgeshire and East documentary originally broadcast in that region on 26 January 2022, which featured 19 year old dancer Mia and had an appearance from TV personality Vicky Pattison,[16] and a Bossing It documentary about a cryptocurrency.[17][18]
