Who Will Save the Savers?
As the credit crunch pushes Britain's pensions and savings time-bomb to a new level, Panorama asks experts to help those facing an uncertain future.
As the credit crunch pushes Britain's long-running pensions and savings time-bomb to a critical new stage, Panorama takes the experts to those facing a very uncertain retirement to see if they can find a solution.
