Undercover Boss

Kevan Collins runs London's Tower Hamlets council at a time when the new government is slashing public spending. Kevan faces a huge challenge, he has to make huge cuts, £50 million over the next three years. But what does he cut and what does he save?

In order to find out what the council's services are really like, Kevan has made an extraordinary decision: he is going undercover to work alongside his frontline staff without telling them he's their boss. He believes it's the best way for him to learn what works and what doesn't.

Kevan has never done anything like this before. He delivers meals to the old and vulnerable. He works at the housing and homeless office with its constant stream of clients.

Kevan takes to the streets with the community law enforcement officers. And he works alongside the pest controllers who face head-on the continuous battle against the borough's rats.

At the end of this time undercover where will he decide to make the cuts? And what will his fellow workers feel when they discover the `new trainee' is actually their boss?
