Video The Money Programme: The Real Big Brother and Teenage Tycoons - XB006/DVD02
XB006/DVD02 Two programmes from the popular BBC2 programme

The Real Big Brother
Increasingly we’re all being watched at work, at home, even out shopping. 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?

Teenage Tycoons
Ask a group of 18 to 25 years olds about the idea of becoming an entrepreneur and almost three quarters will say that it is a good career choice. So you probably should not be too surprised that youngsters are setting up businesses at an earlier and earlier age. 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. Just one thing - Sarah is aged 20, Oliver is 17 and Jake is 10. So how did they begin?
