Title: Who’s Getting Rich on your Money? - Panorama
Description: As Government spending cuts bite, one group of businessmen
know they will keep making vast profits from our taxes while
getting us ever deeper into debt. Since 1997 almost every
new school and hospital in the UK has been built by private
companies who lease them back to the government. But
what’s in it for the taxpayer? John Ware investigates the
inflexible terms and conditions of what has become the
government’s flexible friend - the Private Finance
Initiative - a kind of ministerial credit card which racks
up huge public debts without showing on the nation’s
balance sheet. He uncovers evidence of how government claims
that PFI gives taxpayers value for money have been
manipulated. And asks why the coalition government signed so
many PFI deals when in opposition both the prime minister
and his deputy branded them as ’dodgy accounting’.

Title: Young Apprentice
Episode: Discount Buying
Description: With just two weeks to go before the final, the seven
remaining teenage candidates must work against the clock in
order to meet Lord Sugar’s next challenge. Called to one
of London’s top tourist attractions, Madame Tussauds, both
teams are given just ten hours to find ten items for ten
waxworks. Under strict instructions to find things that
’look the part but don’t cost the earth’, the
teenagers’ powers of negotiation are pushed to the limit.
In a chase across London, Nick and Karren watch on as the
candidates attempt to track down items fit for celebrities
like Justin Bieber, Elle MacPherson and Nelson Mandela, at
the lowest possible price. One particular item causes a lot
of head scratching and dead end leads for both teams, and
tensions rise as time ticks by. In the boardroom, missing or
incorrect items are subject to penalty fines, and the losing
team gets a grilling from Lord Sugar.

Title: America on a Plate: The Story of the Diner
Description: Writer and broadcaster Stephen Smith re-envisions the story
of 20th century American culture through its most iconic
institution - the diner. Whether Edward Hopper’s
Nighthawks or the encounter between Pacino and de Niro in
Heat, these gleaming, gawdy shacks are at the absolute heart
of the American vision. Stephen embarks on a road journey
that takes him to some of America’s most iconic diners. He
meets the film-makers and singers who have immortalised
them, and looks at the role diners have played not only in
America’s greatest paintings and movies, but also in the
fight against racial oppression and the chain restaurants’
global takeover. For Stephen, it’s because the diner is
the last vestige of a vital part of the American psyche -
the frontier. It’s a place where strangers are thrown
together, where normal rules are suspended and anything can
happen. And it’s this crackle of potentially violent and
sexual energy that have made it an engine room of 20th
century American culture
