Title:
Britain's New Banking Scandal - Panorama
Description: Panorama
lifts the lid on what could be Britain's biggest
financial mis-selling scandal - the hard sell of so-called
interest rate swaps. With thousands of businesses pushed
into
administration or struggling to stay afloat, Panorama
hears from bank insiders as well as from business owners and
employees who have lost their jobs and homes. As the new
financial regulator faces its first major test, reporter
Adam Shaw asks why the banks who broke
the rules are allowed
to
control the redress scheme for the victims. Has anything
really changed in the way our banks are regulated?

Archive on 4
Episode: The
World Turned Upside Down
Description:
Peter Day has now presented Radio 4's In Business programme
for
25 years, and he uses this wealth of archive to argue
that
during that time, the world of manufacture and trade
has
been turned upside down.
We've gone from mass production for mass markets, as started
by
the Ford assembly line 100 years ago, to a world of
customised trading for individuals. This has largely been
caused by the internet, which is revolutionising the world
of
manufacture and commerce in a way that's as profound as
that caused by the advent of printing
500 years ago.
As
the Silicon Valley executive Joe Kraus once told In
Business, instead of "dozens of markets of millions", we now
have
"millions of markets of dozens". Just think E-bay.
Companies have started to listen to mass-customisation guru
Joe
Pine, who spoke on the programme a few years ago and
said
that "consumers don't want choice, they just want
exactly what they want".
The
internet makes individualised trading possible, and
technology is increasingly making individualised
manufacturing
possible, too. Not just by companies, but
ultimately by consumers themselves: in a few years' time, we
may
be able to buy "smart sand", that can be digitally
programmed to shape itself into one tool, and when you're
done
with it, you dissolve it before re-assembling the
"sand" into another tool, as per your needs.

Title:
Selling British Luxury
Description: Why
do British luxury brands outperform other sectors in the
international market? Why are earnings from UK luxury good
set to
double to £12 billion by 2017? Laurence Llewelyn
Bowen reports on the appeal of British goods from Rolls
Royce cars to high fashion handbags, from fine cloth and
cashmere to jewellery and gentleman's accessories.
He
discovers that, while heritage and history play a part in
the
appeal of British Luxury brands, today's rich young
consumers want far more than this. He reports on the ways
British firms are bespoking their
goods, offering
re-assurance on authenticity and quality, investing in state
of
the art manufacture and reaching new customers through
innovative use of digital platforms.
Laurence talks to Deborah Meaden about her recent purchase
of a
woollen mill making luxury flannel and accessories and
asks
why so many British luxury firms are taken over by
foreign companies - and whether it
matters.
He
also discovers that, although British luxury firms cannot
rival the powerful conglomerates of France and Italy, it's
the
very niche status of British brands that makes them so
attractive to the new, discerning customer.

Analysis
Episode: What
Are Charities For?
Description:
Charities have been drawn into the world of outsourced
service provision, with the state as their biggest customer
and
payment made on a results basis. It is a trend which is
set
to accelerate with government plans to hand over to
charities much of the work currently done by the public
sector.
But
has the target driven world of providing such services
as
welfare to work support and rehabilitating offenders
destroyed
something of the traditional philanthropic nature
of
charities? Fran Abrams investigates.
