Sister Rita to the Rescue - Season 2

Season 2

Sister Rita Lee is back with a vengeance as she hatches more ambitious plans than ever to improve the lives of the people of Collyhurst - and beyond.

Known to some as Attila the Nun, and others as The Formidable Sister Rita, the no-nonsense nun is a unique troubleshooter, running a drop-in centre and food bank in one of the poorest parts of Manchester.

Stripped across a week, this observational series follows Sister Rita and her team as they try to help people struggling with a range of difficulties including debt, managing on benefits, and lacking the most basic possessions. Often they're the final port of call for those in the community with nowhere else to turn. But despite the odds, the support and advice the series captures them giving is genuinely life-changing.

This series begins with an insight into Sister Rita's softer side as she's surprised and touched by the huge response from the previous series.

Not one to rest on her laurels, she is soon back to business, coming to the aid of a young single mum who needs some basic furniture for her home, and helping a woman desperate to get a job after a two year search.

But this time, on top of her everyday work helping individuals, Sister Rita has an even bigger project in mind. She's set her sights on establishing a way of supplying the Lalley Centre's food bank with a continuous supply of fresh fruit and vegetables, setting up an allotment she hopes will get the community eating more healthily. But it's not easy rallying enough volunteers to get the project up and running.
