Lyrics 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 Spencer's and they need a new dryer. Neither of them knows what the other is or isn't doing and soon things will get on top of them.

Joy's ageing Auntie is like their money problems: always there, an embarrassing and unspoken presence.

Prompting worldwide debate and discomfort, Money is Mikron's latest topic for a hard-hitting but entertaining show. Using the words of those affected by debt and the testament of those that work with them, Mikron intersperse song, humour and a cracking story to set alight a topic close to people's hearts and purse strings!

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?
