Sky One's sequel to their compulsively tasteless "Ibiza Uncovered" series, showing how the slightly more well-heeled British hooligan enjoys his/her annual hols. Non-stop sex, swapping and group sex, the brochure promises, and these decadent delinquents know no shame as they descend ever deeper into depraved debauchery. Disgusting.

The true story of Hossain Sabzian (playing himself), arrested and prosecuted for impersonating Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf (playing himself). A combination of dramatic re-enactment and real footage of all those involved, including the ensuing trial, 'Close Up' is the story of a man whose only crime is a passion for film, his guilt borne not of malice but beguiling naivety. Witty, touching, thoughtful and creative, this is a film that celebrates not just the individual but people's ability

Filip Remunda and Vit Klusak are film students who hit on the genius plan to create a fictitious hyper market that sells everything for a bargain, and in doing so outline peoples gullibility and predilection towards capitalist consumerism. What these two slightly naïve young men hadn't expected was the immense turn out for their non existent shop and the murderous wrath their ‘hoax' induced in the expectant consumer, a post communist people who'd embraced consumerism to their bosom like a long l

Yep you've got it, it's a casino, shares are a bit of paper whose value is whatever some other person'll give for it. Enron's 'chain letter' scheme blew bigger than any other bubble in corporate history, it involved salesmanship and false accounting, in co-operation with Arthur Andersen (who were the US's most prestigous accountants) creating huge and costly power blackouts in California, politically destroying the incumbent governor and Democrat presidential hopeful Gray Davis, in order to forc
