GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM WON'T RETURN FOR SECOND SERIES ON CHANNEL 4

The controversial and timely immersive factual series won't be returning for a second series on Channel 4, the broadcast has confirmed.

The show takes an opinionated group of six Brits, from a variety of backgrounds across the UK., with views across the immigration argument, to the frontline reality of the perilous journeys refugees and migrants make to the UK. 

A Channel 4 spokesperson said (via The Sun): "“Go Back to Where You Came From was commissioned as a single series of event television, and we are immensely proud of what it achieved in creating national conversation about a hugely important issue. Any allusions to this programme being ‘cancelled’ are entirely false."

Dropped into contrasting, high-risk locations, the participants start their journey in Mogadishu in Somalia and Raqqa in Syria, two of the most dangerous cities on earth.  How will they cope with experiencing the threat of near-by missile strikes, witnessing mass overcrowding of camps, and being up close to those living in devastating poverty?

They then travel to countries on migrant routes through Africa, the Middle East and Europe into the UK, facing scenarios and experiences which continually challenge their views. They have to trek in the African desert, climb over border crossings through mountain ranges, and experience first-hand some of the terror of small boat crossings.

Go Back to Where you Came From takes an unflinching look at the truth of immigration, across the debate. Tackling the issue head on, the series will confront, educate, anger, shock and tug at the heartstrings of liberals, the right wing and everyone in-between.

Go Back to Where You Came From is available to stream now on Channel 4.
