Synopsis

Episode image for 07/06/2010

A woman whose husband died in a care home launches her own campaign to raise standards in the sector. One of her conclusions is that care workers should be able to speak good English. The online trader in court for secretly bidding to buy his own products in an attempt to push up prices. And why fine wine merchants are salivating over the forthcoming release of last year's Bordeaux vintage - what some are calling the greatest ever.
