Man Alive: The Personal Touch

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A weekly programme which focuses on people and the situations which shape their lives.
Reporters: Angela Huth, Jeremy James, John Percival, Trevor Philpott, Desmond Wilcox

This week: The Personal Touch
They are the men on our doorsteps perhaps even with a foot in our door -salesmen; earning a living by persuading us to pay for something we may not even have known we wanted. In exhibitions, market places, suburban streets, car show rooms, and £100-a-day hotel suites they practise their skills and take our money. But what is in it for them - apart from the commission? Why do people get more than just a living out of selling? And who are the top men, who may make a million pounds out of a single deal?
