Except that if a family like that existed, they'd be booted out after three months if they couldn't find work....

Channel 5's 'documentaries' are sensationalist and shouldn't be used as evidence of anything ever. Their benefits programming is made just to bait people into getting mad by presenting to them the version of reality they want to see.
