... at 9.00 pm.
This is billed as a factual "exploration of financial meltdown to which all others are compared" - the Wall Street Crash of 1929.
The reviews I've read says that it does not point out any parallels to todays situation - but they are glaringly obvious ...
Could be interesting.

The really sad thing is that I have suddenly realised that this is Saturday night!
Am I going out on the town?
Have I booked a night out with my friends down the pub?
Am I looking forward to seeing the latest film at the local cinema?
Nope to all of these.
I am going to watch a documentary about the Wall Street Crash in 1929 - and I am really looking forward to it!!
Oh God, I am so doomed.....

Nope, you've realised that you've actually just become your parents......

All the music on Radio 1 sounds the same and just a bit of a "racket".
All the music you like is now being played by Radio 2.
When you do actually get the pub you say..."You know what, I actually just fancy a Tea/Coffee thanks".
It's a slippery slope I'm afraid.
