Title: Mary
Queen of the High Street
Description:
Retail expert Mary Portas fights for Britain’s failing
high
streets, coming up with a 28-point plan - the Portas
Review
- to help breathe new life into our shops. Here the
focus is on the seaside town of Margate, whose high street
has
suffered terribly in recent years with one in four shops
closing down. Mary decides to capitalise on the success of
the
nearby Turner Gallery, which attracts up to 10,000
visitors a week, by building an inland pier. Mary also
focuses her attention on local sweet shop owner Billy and
transforms his store into a souvenir
shop. Artist Tracy
Emin, who was brought up in the town, helps with some ideas
for
the shop’s new branding

Title:
Bankers: Risking It All
Description:
Documentary series telling the inside story of the banking
industry. With gripping first-hand accounts from banking
insiders, regulators and politicians, this film tells the
story of two recent multi-billion pound trading disasters
that
rocked the City. It shows that some bankers are still
taking reckless risks, five years after the crash that
brought the world’s economy to its knees.
Risk is the
engine of growth but reckless risk can have catastrophic
consequences, especially in volatile times like the
turbulent financial world of today. The film charts the
thirty-year effort to manage financial risk through
mathematical modelling and shows how this can encourage some
traders to behave as if they have mastered risk altogether.
With
Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, former JP Morgan
executive Bill Winters and regulator Martin Wheatley.

Title: The
Apprentice
Episode:
Flat-Pack
Description:
Business competition. The candidates receive a surprise
phone
call at the end of their day off; they are called to
the
home of the Design Council, where Lord Sugar informs
them
that their task is to come up with a unique piece of
flat-pack furniture, before producing prototypes and
pitching their products to retailers. The candidates get
creative; one team brings a folding chair to the table,
while the others set out to manufacture a multifunctional
cube.
But while the boys get their measurements mixed up,
the
girls start squabbling over market research. On sales
day,
half the teams hit the high street in search of orders
for
their products; but with the pressure on, some members
of
the street sales team come unstuck. The rest head for
appointments laid on by Lord Sugar with some of the
country’s biggest retailers - and under scrutiny one
presentation
goes bottoms up. In the boardroom, there is
high
praise for some people and low opinions of others, and
the
losing team come in for a total hammering before Lord
Sugar makes his decision and one person is told "You’re
fired!"
