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.
