A series of ten programmes for everyone who spends money on goods or services.

Selling short weight is only one sort of sharp practice which the law forbids. Paul and Cathy meet an awful grocer who breaks the law five times in three minutes. Later they get confused over supermarket labelling.

Brian Redhead asks what do you do if you've been the victim of sharp practice, with legal interpretation from David Tench of Consumers' Association.
Sue Cook looks at getting value for money when doing the weekly shopping.

The Great Escape
Clear blue seas, sunny skies, unpolluted beaches and no taxes to pay. That is many people's impression of a tax haven. But what are they really like, and who uses them? In this 500th edition, past and present reporters of The Money Programme file stories from some of the world's greatest tax havens. William Davis reports from the Cayman Islands. Paul Griffiths looks at the difficulties of working in a tax haven from the South Pacific splendour of the New Hebrides. Brian Widlake talks with some of the people who have gone to the Caribbean tax haven, The Bahamas. And James Bel- lini reports from the oldest tax haven of all - Campione.

A series of eight contemporary documentaries. 2: The Orlov Defence
In April 1977 a long-distance call from Moscow was put through to a London barrister. In the 15 seconds before she was cut off by the KGB a Russian woman begged the lawyer to undertake the defence of her husband. His name was Professor Yuri Orlov , held incommunicado in Lefortovo Prison on unspecified charges.
John MacDonald , Qc, accepted the unique brief, and this film documentary is the story of how he, a British lawyer, unfamiliar with Russian and the Russian legal system, set out to defend a client he had never seen, and to whom the authorities would allow no access.
YURI ORLOV is a Russian dissident and champion of Human Rights. The story of his defence is told at a time when the USSR has just squashed all attempts to condemn her human rights record at the Belgrade Conference. Orlov - held in defiance of his country's own laws - now awaits the inevitable show-trial and punishment.
