In the last part of the series, the Money Programme's Max Flint travels around the UK to hear the extraordinary stories of people bucking the trend by fighting back against the hardships of life in credit crash Britain.

There is no doubt the economic downturn has caused substantial hardship for many, but some people, through their own initiative and hard work have offset its worst effects. Among the people he meets is the estate agent who lost his job and is now working as a DJ, the family seeking new work by moving abroad and the couple trying to raise cash by organising an internet competition with their house as a prize.
