The Risk Business

on BBC One London

A series of 6 programmes
Is Britain prepared to risk a whole year's revenue from the North Sea oil bonanza melting away on one industry?
3:British Steel
The British Steel Corporation is currently seeking a further government investment loan over the next five years of at least E5,000 million. Michael Rodd visits steel plants of all shapes and sizes in Britain and Europe to ask whether we can hope to compete with the rest of the world in all branches of steel-making.
Andrew Neil talks to Sir Charles Villiers , Chairman of the British Steel Corporation, and to Select Committee member Michael Thomas , mp, about the risks of making this massive new investment in the steel business.
With William Woollard , The Risk Business team follows the breath-taking booms and slumps of a nationalised industry where rewards might be magnificent, but where mistakes now will cost billions of pounds.
