Should I Worry About … Spending? Is a new programme I'm taking part in which is one of a new autumn series presented by Richard Hammond which investigates various headline issues.

The programme makers are looking for participants in a focus group at a top London Ad Agency to help creatives come up with a campaign to make us more savvy spenders.

This sequence comes at the end of the programme and will be a chance to contribute to a group discussion about our shopping, spending and debt habits - you might have good ones or bad ones as long as you are enthusiastic, you could join the group.

IMPORTANT NOTE - THE PROG IS NOW OVER AND THE FOCUS GROUP WAS DONE. MARTIN
