Video The Money Programme: Get Your Life in Order and Elle: Super Business Model - XB009/DVD04
Two programmes form the popular BBC 2 series

Get Your Life in Order
Long working hours. Tiring commutes. Cheap migrant labour. More mothers returning to work. All these have led to a society where many of us are too tired - or too lazy - to do the cleaning. A society of cash-rich but time poor workers has fuelled the rising demand for domestic help within the home, and is the reason behind the rise of lifestyle management companies that not only cater for the high-flying executives and millionaires among us but also for the "ordinary" people. This social trend of outsourcing our private lives to "domestic professionals" has created an industry estimated to be worth £4 billion a year.

Elle: Super Business Model
Elle MacPherson stands out in our celebrity-obsessed culture. She is a model who has established a successful long-standing brand that transcends her fame. Her signature lingerie range has gone global, generating £40 million a year. Now Ms MacPherson is setting her sights on even bigger projects that could make her a corporate power player.
