Gordon Wilkins covers the world of Whitsun motoring.

The Life of Billy Walker
At 8.30
Billy Walker - golden boy of British boxing, the blond bomber and the East End Hercules - is not just a pretty face. In six years of professional fighting Billy's fists have earned him nearly £110,000. Yet the incredible thing is he has never won a single professional boxing title.
In the world of business Billy and his big brother George have invested these earnings in garages, taxi fleets, night clubs, and restaurants, and there are plans for going into the holiday business. Between them the Walker brothers have amassed a
fortune reckoned now to be a quarter of a million pounds and next year the Walkers' Company is expected to be quoted on the Stock Exchange.
Just how did this 'overweight fish porter from Billingsgate,' as Billy describes himself, get into the financial big time? Tune in to The Money Programme to find out.
