The Money Programme: The Spare Yen Spenders

on BBC Two England

Japan's fantastic economic boom has created a secondary explosion... organised leisure.
With millions of Japanese finding spare time on their hands and spare money in their pockets, their flirtation with the West has been intensified.
The Money Programme discovers a world where model girls have plastic surgery as a matter of course, where baseball is more of an obsession than in America... and unearths the Japanese equivalent of Bingo! All part of one of the world's fastest growing industries... leisure.
