So this week we're back into the history books to analyse a series of money making ventures; from the Dutch Tulip craze of the 1600s to the 'Black Gold' of the Rhondda Valley and we wind the clock back to the 2000s and the infamous dot-com bubble.

This week we're dipping back through time to spend some time with the Victorians; those in the working class eating jellied eels from dirty cups, the middle classes and all their lovely spare time and the upper classes who, frankly, are having a whale of a time.
