Title: This World: Michael Portillo’s Great Euro Crisis
Description: Self-confessed Eurosceptic Michael Portillo is on his way to
debt-stricken Greece. He believes that the euro crisis must
have shaken the Greeks’ faith in Europe’s single
currency and wonders if there’ll be a desire to revert to
the free-floating drachma. In Athens he meets everyone from
a destitute young family to the former finance minister and
the outgoing Prime Minister, and is surprised by some of
their answers. Meanwhile in Germany, Europe’s economic
powerhouse, Michael encounters the taxpayers who are paying
most towards Greece’s mammoth financial bailout while
having to watch angry Athenians burning the German flag.
With tensions rising in the Eurozone, is this the moment it
becomes more united, or will it be pulled apart?

Title: The Apprentice
Episode: Street Art
Description: The eighth task in this series of the business-based
competition starts with an early morning trip to Waterloo
Station, but the teams are not going anywhere; underneath
the railway arches is a big screen with a message from Lord
Sugar. He tells the teams to take a look around; they are
surrounded by graffiti, and this is what they will be
selling next. The teams each have one day to meet and
convince up-and-coming urban artists that they are the right
team to represent them in a one-off gallery sale. As the
candidates meet an edgy bunch of artists, two different
schmoozing techniques emerge. When both teams clash over the
same artist, a project manager goes into meltdown and ends
up taking a big risk. When the galleries open,
modestly-priced graffiti and monster pictures with even
bigger price tags prove hard to shift. But some art does
appeal and, when prints and paintings begin to fly off the
walls, some surprising top sellers emerge

restaurant that has lost its sparkle. When Iggy Campos
opened his fine-dining Spanish restaurant in Edinburgh in
1989 it was the talk of the town. But twenty years on,
Iggy’s dream is a distant memory and the dated restaurant
is haemorrhaging cash. The Restaurant Inspector, Fernando
Peire, attempts to drag Iggy out of the 80s and
re-invigorate his passion in an attempt to salvage the
business. His masterplan is to get managers Leigh and Marco
to take on more significant roles. But can Fernando persuade
the restaurateur to let go of his past?
