Title: Das
Auto: The Germans, Their Cars and Us
Description: Documentary
examining Germany's economic power and the
automobile industry at the heart of it. Across the world,
the
badges of Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Mercedes inspire
immediate awe.
Even
in Britain, where memories of Second World War run
deep, we can't resist the appeal of a German car. By
contrast, our own industry is a shadow of its former self.
Historian
Dominic Sandbrook asks what it is we got wrong,
and
what the Germans got so right.

Stephen Fry discovers the hidden mysteries of the
extraordinarily rich and powerful square mile that is the

Exchange and the terrors of Dead Man's Walk at the Old

connections between obesity and weight loss, and confronts

Alex

Title: How
You Pay for the City
Description: Five
years after the crash, City pay is still soaring.
In
this four-part series, David Grossman investigates how we
as savers,
investors and consumers pay the salaries and
bonuses of bankers and investment managers and asks whether
they're worth it.
It
may seem as if the City creates money out of thin air
through the skill of some of the
brightest people working in
the
economy. But all the money that goes into the Square
Mile
and beyond has to come from the wider economy: from our
pensions and investments, from the interest rates we're
charged, from the cheap money that we as taxpayers have
provided to the banks since 2008 and even from the
additional but hidden costs that we pay for consumables like
food
and fuel.
The series begins with an investigation into
the companies
that
manage our investments. David talks to the campaigners
trying to force the industry to be more transparent about
the
true cost of investing and hears from critics who claim
the
industry has grown to be so large and complex, it's more
geared to serving itself than its customers. And he assesses
whether there's any evidence that most
fund managers are
worth the high fees they charge.
