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.

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
