Max Flint: Tonight on the Money Programme: have you ever been a shareholder? If so, ruthless conmen are determined to trick you out of every penny you’ve got.

John: I think altogether I probably lost somewhere in the region of about 60 thousand pounds.

Jonathon: Everybody is vulnerable and we've seen some shocking amounts of money being lost.

Max: We’re going to lift the lid on a series of gigantic scams cleaning ordinary savers out of millions, and possibly adding up to Britain’s biggest ever theft.

Bob Wishart: We actually believe that figure could be potentially four, five hundred million dollars.

Max: Tonight, we go after international conspirators who’ve helped themselves to our savings. We expose the crooks behind ‘The Great British Shares Swindle’.

Libby Potter: Tonight on the Money Programme, are biofuels the best way to keep our cars on the road?

Man 1: Without biofuels today we’d struggle to keep all the cars and the trucks and the buses running on a global basis.

Libby: Rising petrol prices and concerns about global warming are forcing the demand for alternatives. The car industry thinks it’s the way forward.

Man 2: The more we develop it, the more we make it affordable for the customers, the more biofuel is going to play a role, also in the future.

Libby: But critics question if it’s right to use fuel grown from crops.

Man 3: You can put food in someone’s stomach, or you can put fuel in the tank of the car. It’s that kind of black and white.

Libby: Millions have been invested in developing biofuel technology, but is it money well spent? We investigate ‘The Great Green Fuel Gamble’.

Woman: I love writing emails. I find it a nice way of communicating with people. I love receiving them.

Ray Tomlinson: It was such a simple thing to do at the time, but it does, it has had ramifications through many people's lives.

Man using megaphone: Please make your way down the fence. Anywhere there’s staff…

Libby Potter: Tonight on the Money Programme, are you one of the thousands of passengers whose journey was spoilt because it started at Heathrow?

Passenger: Chaotic, they don’t seem to know what they are doing. One person gives me one piece of information and the other gives me different information. So I’ve had about 10 different information since I’ve been here since 9’o’clock this morning.

Libby: Terror scares, bad weather and endless queues. Even last week baggage delays hit thousands. It’s made Heathrow the airport we love to hate.

Simon Calder: If you’re going to have problems in aviation in Britain they will strike first and deepest at Heathrow.

Libby: Even British Airways thinks that the owner, BAA, is doing a poor job.

Willie Walsh: I don’t believe that people using Heathrow and using BAA airports have received value for money.

Libby: But BAA is fighting back, spending billions building Terminal Five.

Mark Bullock: T5 isn’t the end of the journey, it’s the beginning of a new transformed Heathrow.

Libby: We have exclusive behind-the-scenes access as the terminal prepares to open.

So can BAA finally turn the corner and make Heathrow ready for take-off?
