First broadcast: on BBC One WalesLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales HD

Opportunities that don't always live to up to expectations are the focus of today's investigations by the redoubtable trio of Julia Somerville, Angela Rippon and Gloria Hunniford - who unravel the particularly shocking story of a man persuaded to spend his life savings on seemingly valuable pieces of art, but hasn't ended up with much to show for it. As his family try to understand exactly what's happened, can such investments ever be worthwhile? Also today, as a mum and daughter reveal how they've slashed the cost of their weekly shop, do the various apps and offers that suggest they'll leave you quids in really deliver on their promises? And there's a happy ending for an aspiring writer frustrated by the company he'd hoped would help him realise his lifetime's ambition. Show less
