It was a wartime aid to keep Britain's industrial wheels spinning merrily that became a national treasure. Bandleaders and orchestral conductors of the highest calibre led the daily live ritual of wall-to-wall dance music, and, from the 1940s to the late 60s its famous theme tune, Calling All Workers by Eric Coates , was as familiar as It was called Music While You Work. Yet the BBC had not one edition of this long-running classic in its archives, until a unique private collection of hundreds of hours of tapes turned up last year. Russell Davies investigates the phenomenon that was known to fans simply as MWYW.

In prosperous 16th-century Bristol, many successful exporters indulged in smuggling rather than paying the expensive export licences demanded by Henry VIII. As a result, many white-collar (or white-ruff) criminals established themselves as gentry families and rose to high public office in the city. Investigative historian Evan Jones reveals how he discovered that many of Bristol's most prestigious institutions were built on dirty money, and presenter/producer Jolyon Jenkins and retired chief customs investigator David Raynes compare the operations of smugglers and customs officers in the 16th century and today.
