Third of a four-part series unearthing the links between daily life and the machinations of the global economy.
Where's Our Money? Choreographers Jan and Ken Smith have poured their life savings into a pension fund, but like most us they have no idea where their money has gone, or what it is doing - good or bad. This programme redresses the Smith's situation, following an amazing trail of investment from London to the four corners of the world where their money, unbeknown to them, is being invested in a curious and sometimes contradictory range of enterprises.

The second of two documentaries exploring the science and psychology of shopping.
Selling It. Retailers and producers spend millions on store design and layout, smell, touch, brand image and old-fashioned salesmanship to persuade us to part with our money. This programme explores how these techniques work around the world, looking at experts including the consumer behaviourists who are paid to watch us shop, the designers of the biggest malls, the ad gurus who create brand desirability and the people who sell to the super-rich. Narrated by Arabella Weir.
