Channel 5 prog on vice police

[sparkus]

This was about 10 years ago, mainly focused on East London (in particular Leyton/stone) and involved clubs and vice head Kevin Hyland (I think) doorstepping maids and the odd punter being interviewed on camera, then some swooping on Romford Road using undercover bait and end credits walk of shame from the magistrates.

Does anyone remember what it was called or if there's any clips?

I can't for the life of me find what it was called, largely as Channel 5 have made so many prostitution programmes since.

What was interesting was that it was centered on East London, so the targets were all the usual suspects - the one next to Draper's Field in Leyton (when a sour Chinese maid known only to the WGs as 'Aunty' ran it), Peaches (which the police were stunned to find such old English WGs working at, the owners actually shut up shop for good after the collar felt) and a host of humdrum Rom/Brazilian joints in Ilford/Barking (at which one security pretended he was there as a client and had paid the WGs for eight hours to chill with them!)

I think that was one of them at the time and certainly covered the same territory (and I may be mixing elements of the two) but the one with Romford Road in it I am sure was Channel 5 as it had commercial breaks.
