We Are England[1] is a regional current affairs documentary programme shown on BBC One.[2][3] The programme is made by six teams around England, based in Birmingham, London, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle and Norwich. The programme airs six original half-hour documentaries each week, with each week themed around a different topic; the first theme was Mental Health.[4] The programme replaced regional current affairs show Inside Out. A notable change was that each We Are England episode is a single half hour documentary, whereas Inside Out normally aired a collection of short-form pieces in its 30 minute slot. Another change is a cutback in the number of teams, from 11 regional hubs to six.
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.[5][6][7][8][9] In-addition to being shown on BBC One and BBC iPlayer select episodes are also repeated on BBC News.[10]
The first four episodes of We Are England aired on Wednesdays at 7:30pm. After the fourth Farming England,[11][12][13] the series moved to a timeslot of 8:30pm. 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.[14]
In May 2022, the BBC announced a raft of closures, restructures and cost-cutting measures.[15] One of these was the decision not to renew We Are England for a third series.[16]
In July 2022,[17] a number of documentaries from the We Are England strand (including ones featuring Bimini,[18][19] Jayde Adams[20][21] and Jassa Ahluwalia)[22][23] were repeated on BBC Three, alongside a number of similarly formatted 30 minute documentaries. However, rather than being grouped under the We Are England or Our Lives[24][25] brands, these new documentaries were now just being listed under one off titles such as Filthy Business[26][27] and Queen of Trucks[28][29] on the BBC iPlayer and in programme guides.
