Energy minister Greg Barker on the Green Deal take-up, Lee Hendrie on how he lost £10 million and went bankrupt, and how car fuel economy claims might not be what they seem.

The government reveals how much interest there's been in the Green Deal - it's big energy-saving scheme. Minister Greg Barker discusses the levels of take-up.

It's easy to live beyond your means, whatever your income. Lee Hendrie is a former England footballer who lost £10 million before going bankrupt. He tells Winifred how he lost it and what he learned.

And does your car give the fuel economy it was advertised with? No? Well it may not be your driving. New research is blaming the manufacturers.
