The final programme of the series looks at the uncertain future of the British steel industry.
At the Anglo Dutch company Corus an announcement is made that puts thousands of jobs at risk. The UK arm is operating at a loss, and the company must restructure to survive.
No-one knows which of the four plants across the UK will suffer, but on Teeside, where it's only two years since the last cuts were made, workers fear that once again they'll be the ones in the firing line.
Jenny Cuffe spends Seven Days watching the fallout from the Corus announcement.
As employees wait anxiously for news, the lobbying begins. Trade unions, civic leaders and local MPs all unite to bring pressure to bear on the company.
But how effective can they be in the face of global economic pressures?
