What if you're living on the 'wrong side' of the Channel?

As the UK prepares to begin leaving the EU, what are the key deals to be done? Chris Morris hears from people who have made their lives across the channel.

How could things change for British expats and EU nationals in the UK after Brexit? Chris Morris meets a community worker who advises Poles living in Britain and takes part in a radio phone-in on a station which broadcasts to British expats in Europe. It seems that people on both sides of the channel share similar views. Some are worried about their pensions and healthcare while others think little will change. The experts appear to think a deal will be done to protect both the migrants and the expats but what of future generations who may want to live across the channel ? That's when things become even more unclear.
Producers: Chris Bowlby and Shabnam Grewal
Researcher: Dearbhail Starr.
