Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away! is a factual/reality documentary series on Channel 5. It follows the work of High Court Enforcement Officers (also known as Sheriff's Officers) as they execute High Court writs up and down the country, on those who have failed to make repayments on a debt or refuse to vacate a property. The series was first broadcast on 24 February 2014, and five series of the programme have been broadcast to date.
As of 3 July 2017, the first two series have been made available on Netflix UK.
The series has been broadcast Channel 5 since 24 February 2014. Their brief of the series says; "With exclusive access to some of the most experienced High Court enforcement bailiffs and repossession teams in the country, this series is an eye-opening insight into cash-strapped Britain from the perspectives of debtors, creditors and debt collectors. Produced by Brinkworth Films, the series and its various spin-offs reveal what it means to be a creditor who cannot get back what they are owed, what it is like to be saddled with debt that you are simply unable to repay and what it takes to be the kind of person who can pay but refuses to do so. Cameras capture the daily hassle of dealing with violent confrontations, tearful debtors, downright liars and genuine cases of hardship. Then there are the debtors, many of whom have some distressing tales to tell of how they got into the situation in the first place. No one wants their possessions confiscated, after all. The result is a unique insight into one of the biggest issues facing those who cannot afford to keep paying the bills".
The first series introduces five initial cast members: Paul Bohill, Steve Pinner, Mike Allonby, Terry Jones, and Steve Wood. The day after the broadcast of the first programme, Allonby died aged 47 at his home in Wales. Both Jones and Wood subsequently only appeared in the first series, with Bohill and Pinner the only two cast members who went on to appear in series two. The first three episodes became the most watched programme on the channel that week, with episodes four and five placing at second and third, respectively.
