Title: Dispatches: How the Banks Won
Description: Flagship current affairs programme. Will Hutton investigates
the banks and discovers that while ordinary taxpayers take
the pain of the financial crisis, for the banks it's largely
business as usual. Hutton analyses the banks' accounts and
shows how they are using government-guaranteed funds to
gamble with derivatives as they did before the crash. He
also reveals how the banks are still paying vast salaries
and bonuses
Broadcast: 14 Jun 2010, 20:00 (60 mins)

Title: Mary, Queen of Shops
Episode: Clealls
Description: Retail guru Mary Portas is back to help the nation's
independent retailers. She tackles Chris and Juliet, a
London couple who bought a beautiful Dorset village shop a
year earlier but are now losing almost 6000 pounds a month.
The shop is more mini-mart than country store, but the
shopkeepers don't care about food and hide away from locals
who view them as outsiders. Can Mary teach the couple about
taste, incorporate them into village life and redefine
'country convenience'?
Director: Kim Maddever

Title: Three in a Bed
Description: Series in which bed-and-breakfast owners compete to have

Blackpool, an 18th century Dorset country house and an
eco-friendly farmhouse in Somerset compete for the honours
here

Title: Analysis: Economistocracy
Description: A new Office for Budget Responsibility will advise on the
way politicians tackle our budget deficit. Frances
Cairncross investigates how the deficit could change
politics. Will the deficit crisis mean politicians lose some
of their historic power over spending and taxing? Is there
public demand for watchdogs like this to 'keep the
politicians honest', or is it a threat to democracy? And how
does the British plan compare with other countries' attempts
to police government spending? Interviewees include Rachel
Lomax, a former top civil servant and deputy governor of the
Bank of England
