Question Peston

Credit crunch special

In a special 5 Live programme, BBC Business Editor Robert Peston will analyse the causes of the current financial crisis and what it means for ordinary people. Peter and Robert will look at what's happened in the last week or two, and explain why it has happened. And there'll be a look at what this means now, and over the coming months for everyone.


Tommorrow night on BBC Radio5, you can send in questions now:

    I think the Daily Star :eek: or even the Daily Sport :eek: :eek: would be a better source of intelligent and accurate information on this subject, rather than the 'idiot boy' Peston !!!!!!!

    My 11 year old certainly has a better idea of what is happening than he does anyway :T
