Continuing the series in which financial expert Alvin Hall helps people to regain control over their finances.
Tonight's monetary makeover involves Sam and Alison Bennett from Felixstowe who have two-year-old triplets and all the financial worries that can accompany a multiple birth. During the past two years, the couple have repeatedly been in and out of debt and have only managed to keep afloat thanks to the generosity of their parents.
The Bennetts complain that they cannot afford to buy a house but have spent money on computer games, DVDs and new sofas, while L200 a month goes on cigarettes.
Hall helps them to reorganise their spending, but are Sam and Alison willing to listen to his advice?
