...the UK's addiction to credit.
- Written by Richard Povall

There's a first world debt crisis.
Rod and Joy are up against it. Rod's business selling sock suspenders is not doing as well as could be hoped, Joy is addicted to Marks and Spencers and they need a new dryer. Niether of them knows what the other is or isn't doing and soon things will get on top of them.
Joy's ageing Auntie in the cellar is like their money problems: always there, an embarassing and unspoken presence.
We now owe a trillion in personal debt in UK and money owed exceeds the country's GDP. When personal debt increases by a million every four minutes and 15% of 15-25 year olds think an ISA is an iPod accessory where are we heading?
Using the words of those affected by debt and the testament of those that work with them Mikron will make something entertaining and informative out of great trauma.
Through song, humour and a cracking story owing money was never such fun. Losing your home, inability to pay the bills and a sparse Christmas ahead - let's talk about the topic that prompts the most discomfort: MONEY.
