A TV channel devoted to shoes
Consumer news with Julian Worricker. How to slash student housing costs. Do unpaid internships make work experience the preserve of the rich? And a TV channel devoted to shoes.
A new website offering to slash the cost of student accommodation when you choose a university away from your home town. Are unpaid internships exploitative or a great way for young people to get a foot in the door? Would you fancy working for free for ten months, with no job offer at the end of it? And - would you watch a TV channel totally dedicated to shoes? One UK retailer is betting that enough of you will tune in to make it millions.
Presented by Julian Worricker
Produced by Paul Waters.
