The Money Programme: The World According to Google and 50 Cent: Money Machine - XB005/DVD06Two episodes from the popular BBC2 series.
The World According to Google
Google has long established itself as the king of the internet. Now the company is attempting to expand into other areas such as publishing and video distribution. But Google is more than a story about one of the world's most successful businesses. This is one of the few companies that can genuinely boast of having changed the world. We talk to the many people who claim that Google has altered their lives, sometimes in surprising ways.
50 Cent: Money Machine
The big brands are desperate to tap into the youth market and that means getting close to some dangerous stars. Top of the pile at the moment is 50 Cent - rapper, cultural icon, very successful entrepreneur - and most famous for the number of times he's been shot at. Now he has his own video game, Bullet-Proof, and Reebok have signed him up, but their first advert with him was so violent it was banned. We look at the rap and hip hop route to sell to young people and the problems it's causing big name companies.
