The BAFTA award-winning series, Blood On The Carpet (Tuesday, 9.50 p.m., BBC2) returns with more tales of drama and corporate bloodshed in the world of big business.
They include one of British sport's most acrimonious feuds; blood-letting at BBC Radio 1; whistle blowers in the field of cancer research; cleavers at dawn in the gourmet sausage industry; and a music festival to commemorate the magic era of happy hippiedom which ended in arson and riot.
Kicking off the series is the story of how one of the greatest partnerships between a clothing corporation guru and his advertising Svengali ended after a $20 million (€21.3 million) advertising campaign had provoked lawsuits, pickets and protests across the US.
Benjamin Pell, a 36-year-old loner from Hendon built a career on rifling through the bins of the rich and famous and in the process made money and headlines everywhere.
From Elton John to Jonathan Aitken, Mr Pell's alchemy - turning rubbish into gold - landed him in courts on many occasions as Bin Man: Scandal in the Bins (Thursday, 10 p.m., Channel 4) reports.
No bookshop today is complete without hundreds of shelves straining under the weight of self-help books. If we cannot feng shui our way to enlightenment, then we can take 10 steps to fulfilment. But do they work? Living By The Book (Wednesday, 9 p.m., Channel 4) asks can we just read ourselves happy, healthy, wealthy and wise? Or are they all a load of old marketing baloney guaranteed to make their writers and publishers a fast buck?
