The Money Programme

on BBC Two England

With huge pay rises and lucrative share options for bosses in the former publically-owned utilities still making the news, the financial affairs programme investigates the privatised electricity industry. The "fat cats" criticised for striking money-spinning deals have justified them on the grounds of the big profits being generated for shareholders. But Richard Watson asks whether the spoils of privatisation have been distributed fairly.

And, in a feature postponed from 5 March, Steve Annett goes behind the scenes to look at what the future might hold for controversial entrepreneur Alan Sugar and his ailing Amstrad electronics empire.
Presented by Francine Stock.
