Britain's Spending Secrets
Season 1 Episode 1 of 2
Anne Robinson embarks on a two-part investigation into how British people spend their money, meeting consumers from across the wealth spectrum to put their spending habits under the spotlight. The presenter's sample group ranges from billionaires to benefits claimants, all of whom she accompanies on spending sprees to discover whether there is any relationship between where and how people choose to part with their hard-won cash, and their personal values. Anne begins by introducing a single mother on benefits who has fallen into debt by spending beyond her means, a super-rich entrepreneur who only believes in handing over cash for things that will increase his wealth, a baroness with a passion for thriftiness and an eco-warrior who tries not to spend anything at all
