Derek, Betty, Albert, Pauline, Doreen and Bob came from families
where every penny counted. Education meant sacrifice, and even
children had to help their family through illness, poverty and
disaster. Leaving school as young as thirteen, they went to work at
the Great British companies Boots, Players and Raleigh. Their new
lives took them from cigarette packing, sewing machine piecework
and selling rubber 'prophylactics' to places their parents could
not have dreamt of - selling lingerie, working on the Queen Mary
and even becoming a director at Boots. Following the loves and
losses of six young men and women, Money on't Table is the true
story of building new lives and a new Britain.
