Billionaire John Caudwell is offering huge rewards in a competition inviting top young business talents to lead his mobile-phone firm into the future. As the hopefuls are whittled down to four "finalists", this film finds out what it takes to make it in this high-flying world.

Trouble at the Top 9.50pm BBC2
If you have ever been stuck in a railway carriage with a bunch of businessmen yapping loudly into their mobile phones, then this programme will give you a few glimpses into the origins of this arrogance.
It follows two ambitious young people as they are put through hoops in a scheme run by John Caudwell, whose mobile phone shops chain Phones4u has made him a billionaire. Caudwell wants to find Britain's best young business people to lead his company into the future. To this end, he launches a nationwide contest to find the right person.
What we see is a strange world, one where being called "manipulative" is taken as a compliment, and where to be "aggressive" and "ruthless" are desirable. All the contestants are eager to impress and there are some nail-chewing moments (for viewers) as the management-speak and the admissions of naked ambition tumble from their lips.
We also follow the fortunes of a previous winner, young Darren, who has been given 12 weeks to turn around the fortunes of the Glasgow Phones4u shop. "Whether I come across as rude or arrogant or nasty is not the issue" is just one rallying cry for staff members. Sadly, he's right.
Though this is not the most involving Trouble at the Top, it will give you lots of good reasons to resent even more businessmen on trains with mobile phones.
