The people, the stories and the action behind the one commodity no one can do without - money.
The Money Minder, our up-to-the-minute news feature on the Stock Market, explores and explains the world of bulls, bears and boomlets.

For a seafaring - and sea-loving - race, the British have taken a long time to discover how good the sea-angling in Scotland is.
All around the Scottish coast, fishing for cod, haddock, ling, skate and others is growing more popular each year.
Orkney has a remoteness peculiarly its own. It also has two other advantages - a remarkable variety of fishing, and the sheltered waters of Scapa Flow if the weather is too bad for the open sea.

Ken Campbell Meets Kirkby
What happens when you need a live theatre, live shows and there's nowhere to perform them? How can you provide entertainment for a community which has no theatres, concert halls or 'cultural centres'?
Kirkby New Town, seven miles from Liverpool, birthplace of Z Cars, population 66,000 (50 per cent under 21 years of age), exemplifies this problem. In November Ken Campbell was invited to take his new 'Road Show' to the people of Kirkby - to put on a show in the pubs, clubs, and neighbourhood community centres which are the town's only meeting places.
Four years ago Ken Campbell gave up acting to form a touring company to play comedy sketches in places where 'theatre' had never been heard of. His new show is a combination of music-hall routines, circus stunts, rude jokes and songs; his Company will be appearing 'Upstairs' at the Royal Court Theatre in London after Christmas - this week we see what kind of a reaction they got in Kirkby New Town.
