Money for Nothing

Examining the impact of the credit crunch. The Money Programme's Max Flint investigates how Britain's borrowing boom came to a swift and painful end. A decade of cheap borrowing, overseen by the Bank of England, is over and millions of us are now feeling the pinch. We chart how the global credit crunch is now having an impact on the streets of Britain. With contributions from people who are now in deep financial trouble, the programme asks what the future will be as the country gets used to life without easily available credit.
