A company boss on why bosses get paid too much. And a Greek who's sorry, but not really.

How much is your boss worth? The issue of executive pay through the eyes of one executive who feels they all get far too much. Plus a Greek who says he's sorry, he says. But what's he sorry for?

How much is your boss worth? We examine the thorny issue of executive pay through the eyes of Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben and Jerry's. It's a global, billion dollar ice cream business, but he reckons that US bosses like him get paid far too much. 

Plus we speak to Greek actor Lakis Lazopoulos. He's touring Europe with a show, Sorry I'm Greek. But what's he sorry for?
