Whisky is a global success story. Sold in over two hundred countries, the business is worth more than four billion pounds every year. Ten thousand people owe their living to it. Douglas Fraser set out to discover how whisky became so successful: as a part of our culture, as a symbol of our national identity, and as a vital part of our economy. He asks whether Scotland is getting enough back from whisky, and hears how we could cash in more on this amazing business success.

With the NHS facing deep cuts across the board, just how much should we be spending on medicines to treat a few rare diseases? Kenneth Macdonald investigates the drugs industry where lifesaving medicines can cost as much as a quarter-of-a-million pounds per patient, per year. Are the pharmaceutical companies pricing their drugs fairly? And how much longer can the NHS afford to pay these prices?
