Evicted Evicted is back with an Evicted Revisited programme to be aired on BBC One at 10.35pm on Wednesday 28th November 2007. Last year's Evicted was an emotional film from BAFTA award-winning director Brian Woods. It was a damning indictment of the failure of the government to adequately address the problem of homelessness in 21st century Britain. It followed three young girls and their families into the nightmare of homelessness and their search for a home. Watch the trailer and our additional, exclusive online documentary featuring Tara and her four girls. Evicted trailer
