Wiped Out
In the last four years the Lloyd's of London insurance market has lost £6.6 billion - more than in the whole of its 300-year history. This loss has had to be borne by Names - private individuals who agreed to be liable for everything, down to the last penny they own. For many this has been literally true and tonight's programme meets a few of those who feel they have lost more than they ever imagined possible. See today's choices.

Crime comedy starring Colin Friels, John Hargreaves

Malcolm gives the impression of being dim-witted, but he is a genius when it comes to constructing anything mechanical - be it a personal tramcar or a robot that can rob a bank. His technical expertise goes unnoticed until a new lodger with a more down-to-earth outlook on life moves in.
