Title: Come Fly with Me (The Story of Pan Am)
Description: Documentary telling the story of how Pan American World
Airways kickstarted the Jet Age and shrank the globe.
Real-life ’Pan Am girls’ recall a high-life of luxury
and glamour; rubbing shoulders with celebrity passengers,
international romances and having to wear the now infamous
girdle. Stars of the Jet Age such as Robert Vaughn and Mary
Quant remember the food, fashion and girls that made them
regular Pan Am passengers. Pan Am’s success was largely
due to its visionary founder Juan Trippe, who transformed a
small mail carrier into a global airline, pioneered flights
for the masses and helped create the Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
Honor Blackman narrates the story of how Pan Am conquered
the skies and left a legacy of affordable travel and a much
smaller world

Title: Young Apprentice
Episode: The Over 50s Market
Description: This episode sees a battle of the generations take place, as
Lord Sugar sets the nine remaining candidates the
deceptively simple task of selling to the over fifties
market. Both teams must select two products that they think
will most appeal to their grandparent’s generation and
sell them direct to the public at a major exhibition. With a
range of innovative products to choose from, the generation
gap soon becomes the least of their problems. First, one
team struggles to agree which products to choose, and then
both teams select the same thing. At the exhibition, under
the watchful gaze of Nick and Karren, the teenagers find
their elderly customers are no easy pushover. On the hunt
for bargains, they don’t fall for soft sales patter,
making the candidates work hard for every penny. It’s an
age old problem for both teams, and an early retirement for
one candidate as Lord Sugar says "You’re fired!"

Title: Too Big To Fail
Focusing on the US banking crisis of 2008, the film stars Oscar winner William Hurt, Oscar-nominated actors James Woods and Paul Giamatti and Emmy Award winner Cynthia Nixon.
Opening with real-life footage of former presidents deregulating the American banking system during their times in office, we then take a look inside the boardrooms of Wall Street’s all-powerful financial institutions as the ‘mortgage meltdown’ took hold.
Riveting in its examination of the mutually-dependent relationship between Wall Street and Washington, the film follows Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s (Hurt) fight to stabilise the economy in the face of a multi-billion dollar black hole caused by the exposure of the banks to toxic assets.Replaying the actions of Wall Street’s top bankers are James Woods as Lehman Brother’s long-time CEO Richard Fuld; Bill Pullman as chairman and CEO of JP Morgan Chase, Jamie Dimon; Matthew Modine as chairman of Merrill Lynch and Michael O’Keefe as the chairman and CEO of JC Flowers & co.
As a reflection of its quality, Too Big To Fail has received 11 Emmy® nominations including Lead Actor In a Miniseries or Movie (William Hurt). Described by Entertainment Weekly as “extravagantly entertaining”, Curtis Hanson’s film is a gripping and fast-paced examination of one of the biggest crisis to hit Wall Street since crash of 1929
