- Synopsis:
With £25,000 in his pocket from the sale of his flat, Conor Woodman travels across four continents, trading in all kinds of products with the aim of doubling his money. Economist Conor Woodman was a high-flying City trader, now he has decided to test his negotiating skills, charm and eye for a bargain against some of the world's oldest and fiercest, trading cultures. Conor has sold his house to finance the trip across four continents and 13 countries, trading in any kind of product - animal, mineral and vegetable - with the aim of doubling his money. Whether trading teak or tea, surfboards or seafood, Conor tries to make money in every market he encounters along his route. Buying and selling on his wits and instincts and going head to head with the sharpest operators in the world. But can London's financial bear pit prepare him for a horde of vodka-fuelled horse traders on the plains of central Asia? And, does an intricate knowledge of corporate finance help when haggling with Chinese officials on the Mekong River? With surprises and tension all the way to the end, will Conor blow his £25,000 or can he succeed in doubling his cash? - Actors:
