Title: All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace
Episode: Love and Power
Description: A series of films exploring the idea that we have been
colonised by the machines that we have built, seeing
everything in the world today through the eyes of computers.
This is the story of the dream that rose up in the 1990s
that computers could create a new type of stable world,
abolishing political power with a new kind of democracy via
the internet and delivering a new kind of global capitalism,
free of the boom and bust of the past. This story is told
through two perfect worlds - one conceived by a small group
of disciples around the novelist Ayn Rand in the 1950’s,
and the other of the global utopia envisaged by the digital
entrepeneurs of Silicon Valley in the 1990s. Both foresaw a
world where everyone could follow their own desires, but
which would be free of anarchy - but this dream of
stablitity would be torn apart by more dynamic human forces

Title: The Apprentice
Episode: Beauty Treatments
Description: Business-based reality show. Lord Sugar sets the candidates
their next task: to set-up beauty treatment businesses in
Birmingham. The British beauty industry is worth 14 billion
pounds annually, with the best margins in hands-on
treatments, so Lord Sugar demands both teams offer these and
sell cosmetic products off the back of them. Under the
watchful eye of Nick and Karren, the teams take their chosen
treatments to Birmingham. One team goes for the city centre,
while the other chooses an out-of-town mall. The race is on
to capture customers and get them into the treatment rooms.
Products turn out to be easier to shift than getting the
public to strip off, but in a desperate struggle to make
money, juggling jobs and slashing prices puts profits at
risk. In the boardroom, the battle to survive gets ugly and,
as ever, one candidate is fired by Lord Sugar before day’s
end
