A Money Programme film that investigates if it is safe for Britons to work abroad, illustrated by the case of three British telecommunications workers and a New Zealander who were murdered in 1998 after going to work in Chechnya.
Lou Petschi, who has spent the years since trying to find out the truth about her husband Rudi's death, journeys through Britain and eastern Europe as she tries to establish if the companies who sent Rudi to the war-ravaged republic provided proper security and who, ultimately, carried out murders for which no one has stood trial.

The team are called in to bring their expertise to bear on a semi-detached house in Kent owned by Andy and Julie that is halfway through major building work. Nothing has to be knocked down, so Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen sets to work, transforming angularity into circularity indoors and imposing a colour scheme of lime green and royal blue. Outside, Diarmuid Gavin tackles the problem of a surfeit of sheds, designing a series of curved walls and raised beds clad with 5,000 shimmering steel tiles.
