As an underweight 12-year-old, Buster McShane built a small gym in his home. Now, 30 years later, he owns one of the largest health clubs in Europe. Along the way he has been a shipyard apprentice, a British weightlifting record holder, an occasional cartoonist for the Daily Mirror, and an outstandingly successful athletics coach.

This week: The Cost of Innocence
You are innocent until proved guilty - the jury reaches a verdict, and if they acquit, you leave the court without a stain on your character. But sometimes you leave with a hole in your pocket. The innocent person is often ordered by the judge to pay his own legal costs - which can be very expensive. And there can be no appeal against the judge's decision about costs. Is this justice? Esther Rantzen talks to three people about crimes they did not commit - but for which they must now pay. In the studio, with Desmond Wilcox, lawyers and laymen look at the issues raised.

Starring Hayley Mills, Hywel Bennett, John Mills, Marjorie Rhodes
with Avril Angers, Liz Fraser, Wilfred Pickles, John Comer, Barry Foster, Murray Head

The wedding of Arthur and Jenny is a typical North of England family affair, but afterwards one disaster follows another. On their wedding night the bed (rigged by Arthur's boss) collapses, and next day so does their honeymoon in Majorca when they discover the travel agent has absconded with everybody's money.
