The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street The Bank of England has been in business ever since 1694. It is the Government's bank, and the bankers' bank. The Old Lady prints money, controls international financial business, and advises the Government on its financial affairs. In The Money Programme James Bellini and Bill Kerr Elliott take a close look at how well the Old Lady does her job.
