The Money Programme: Fat Man Thin and The Fall of Conrad Black - XB009/DVD03Two programmes from the popular BBC 2 series
Fat Man Thin
Ready-meal junkie Nick Sykes has something in common with two thirds of British men. He is clinically overweight. Nick recognises that he is on a slippery slope. "If I don't do something about the way that I eat I will just turn into a big, fat middle-aged man," he says. Nick's trouble is that he has always seen dieting as a women's thing - and so have businesses.
The Fall of Conrad Black
The trial of Conrad Black - press baron, British peer, socialite and a man with a taste for the billionaire lifestyle - is due to start in Chicago. Among the charges he faces are fraud and racketeering.
Lord Black is one of Britain's best known businessmen, but if found guilty, he could spend the rest of his life in a US jail. In a Money Programme special, Jeff Randall, who's followed the career of the former owner of the Daily Telegraph for 20 years and even worked for him, uncovers an extraordinary story of ambition and downfall.
