This is what a good a TV Channel is Four

Tonight (08 March 9pm) Britain's Channel Four TV presented yet another programme to demonstrate it knows what role TV can contribute to realising Lord Reith's objectives for the BBC to inform, educate and entertain. In the latest episode of Secret Millionnaires, Paul Ragan, a rich businessman, travelled to Derby to meet a number of carers, including Sophie, a young girl who looks after her mother suffering from Huntingdon's Disease and a woman who raises money through charity car washes for special moments for young children suffering from terminal illnesses.

In giving away thousands of pounds to Sophie and the other deserving cases, it showed that Paul benefitted as much from the experience as they had. He felt a better person and realised that one can have a rich life without necessarily being rich. Heart warming television at its best. This should be compulsory viewing in Goldman Sachs and other financial institutions which clearly need to know more about the real value of money. Meanwhile you can probably catch it on Channel 4 catch-up. Do.
