We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.

"And there's more!"
| |
"But Wait... There's More!"
In Business starts a new series with an investigation of the wonderful world of infomercials, those compelling sales pitches disguised as television shows on fringe TV stations across America… and increasingly, in Europe, too.
Peter Day hears from the pioneers who invented the industry 20 years ago, and from some of the famous names such as Jake (Body by JakeTM) who have made fortunes out of TV selling.
The perky Geordie John Parkin is a famous face all across America, little known in Britain despite his mansion in Country Durham; he explains how a chance phone call lured him from being a British department store basement pitchman into TV selling with sales now totalling $800-million dollars, and still on the rise.
"But wait, there's more," is the promise of the infomercials pitcher, and it's the title of the first In Business of the autumn series.
