This week: The Bankrupts
The business of going bust is booming. Bankruptcy figures are twice as many as 10 years ago. The sort of people most affected don't include the big business concerns - though they are doing badly enough, as Rolls-Royce and the Vehicle and General collapses show. It's mostly the small, individual businessman and the husband-and-wife teams. Their difficulties reflect the larger difficulties of the country as a whole. But when a family business goes bust what happens to the family itself? And to the creditors?

Harold Williamson and a Man Alive film team followed the cases of three bankrupts and found that it is not only easy to go bankrupt when you get into debt but it is almost as easy to get out of paying your debts by going bankrupt.
