Cherry's Cash Dilemmas
BBC3, Monday 15 August
9:00pm - 10:00pm
This week Cherry Healey ponders modern women's thorny relationship with money. Esma forks out hundreds of pounds dolling herself up for a night out (fake tan and nails, hair extensions, enough makeup to sink a yacht) before prowling nightclubs in search of a flush footballer. Then there's the aristocrat who dated Kevin Costner and counted Liz Hurley among her bosom pals, but now lives in a council house; and a "freegan" who survives on less than a pound a day by scavenging for food in rubbish bins. These are obviously extreme examples and easy to gawp at, yet it's the answers to Healey's gentle questions that are truly compelling.
