Money Programme, The: The Real Big Brother and Teenage Tycoons

Synopsis
Two programmes from the popular BBC 2 series. In THE REAL BIG BROTHER, The Money Programme investigates the new technology which allows businesses to track their goods, their workforce and their customers. What are the dangers in this all-knowing, all-seeing world? Could we all end up with implanted chips that help us run our lives from birth to death?

TEENAGE TYCOONS looks at young entrepreneurs. Sarah Green, Oliver Bridge and Jake Lunn all run their own companies: selling furniture, shoes and personalised napkins, and all of them are making real money. Sarah is aged 20, Oliver is 17 and Jake is 10. The programme looks at how they started their businesses and what makes them successful.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
