Weather followed by The Making of a Saint
Joan of Arc was born about 1412, burnt as a heretic in 1431 and made a saint in 1920. Why did it take the Roman
Catholic Church 500 years to change its mind about her? Because of the detailed records kept at her trials, we know a great deal about
Joan's life and personality. But subsequent generations have ignored this information and turned her into one of the most potent myths of the 20th century. Editor BRUCE NORMAN

Make Money Make Money Making a Percentage
Governments have been issuing bonds for centuries - mainly to fund wars. But bonds, which give the investor a set percentage return year in year out, are now usually used to fund money-making ventures; like the New York Giant's Football Stadium in New Jersey.
In the third of four programmes Andrew Neil looks at what makes the bond market tick. In London and Chicago, BBC camera crews film simultaneously as a dealing day moves 4,000 miles around the globe and traders fight to keep ahead of the market.

Making a Million
'You've got to make the best of what's around you and if it's stones, well, try and make money out of stones'
The first million is the hardest. When you're out there on your own all you have to trade on is your own energy and your wits. Dave McCann and Dave Atkinson both work long and hard, selling highly individual products and services, but they view the Enterprise Culture very differently. Photography
