Title: Britain’s Banks: Too Big to Save?
Description: More than two years since the giant banks were bailed out
with billions of pounds of tax-payers’ money, little has
been done to reform or regulate these vast institutions. The
BBC’s business editor Robert Peston looks at how the
international regulators, a little-known and secretive
committee that sits in the Swiss city of Basel, have
consistently failed to curb the excesses of the giant banks
and how new proposals fall short of the root-and-branch
reform promised after the crash. With the fate of Ireland,
brought to its knees by the excesses of its banking
industry, fresh in our minds, Peston asks whether Britain
would be in any position to bail out our huge banks should
there be another crisis. Are the banks, once thought to be
too big to fail, now actually too big to save? The film
contains the first interviews with the government’s new
Banking Commission, as well as contributions from Business
Secretary Vince Cable, new RBS chairman Sir Philip Hampton
and the Bank of England

trainees to understand the importance of serving people at
life’s special occasions. They travel to the affluent
Cheshire countryside, to a top-notch brasserie. Here regular
diners come to celebrate their birthdays or anniversaries.
The trainees have the tasks of serving a private lunch and a
wedding, and then running service for the whole brasserie
