Dermot Murnaghan's Economic Cycle
20 February 2009
[tx: Monday 16 March to Wednesday 18 March]

As the UK bares the brunt of the credit crunch, the deputy governor of the Bank of England has called the economic downturn 'one the worst crises in human memory', but how is it affecting the British public?

Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan will set out on a personal mission to report the true stories of people hit hardest by rising debt and unemployment, a world away from the fat cat bonuses and million pound salaries of the city.

Travelling on his trusty push bike, Dermot will start his tour in Cornwall and finish in Bristol, stopping along the way to meet small business executives and everyday people facing economic uncertainty who reveal the true cost of the recession. Cameras attached to Dermot’s bike will allow Sky News viewers to watch his progress as he reports throughout the day on Sky News and on his blog at Sky.com/news.

Monday 16 March to Wednesday 18 March

Daily Economic Cycle reports at 08.45, 12.45, 14.45 and 17.45
