Inside John Lewis BBC2, 9pm Eighty years after retailer John Spedan Lewis transformed his family's business into a working co-operative, rewarding its employees with a profit-sharing initiative, his response to the 'rampant capitalism' of his age still holds firm across the company's stores. But as cameras go behind the scenes of the high- street chain during the demanding year of 2009, there's a creeping feeling that Lewis's good-natured approach to money might be doomed, as the battle for s...

Too Poor For Posh School? Channel 4, 9pm Imagine all the white-knuckle drama of The Apprentice but concentrated into a single hour, with children competing instead of adults, and with much more important life results. That - in the simplest terms - is what's on view in this Cutting Edge documentary.

The Rise And Fall Of Detroit BBC2, 8pm 'Hitsville USA' boasts the sign outside the original home of Motown Records (above) in Detroit, and so it proved, as the city where General Motors built a major car factory went on to make a sound that sold as many units around the world. But both Detroit's industries are sadly in decline now, as detailed in this new documentary.

You Know It Makes Sense... ; Htc's Sense has the Charm and Speed to Give Iphone a Serious Kick Where It Hurts

The little things often swing it. I fell in love with HTC's Sense when I saw that the weather showed little raindrops falling on screen, and windscreen wipers squeaking across the time display. When it's cloudy, lovely translucent clouds drift across the screen - in fact, there's been so much time spent on the animations for everything from downpours to blizzards that it comes as a surprise to find out the thing is made in Taiwan, not Britain. HTC's Sense is a new front page for Google Androi...

A Tv to Make Your Eyes Go Square ; a Set That's so Stylish It Can Pass for a Work of Art - and with a Price Tag to Match

The BeoVision 10, Bang & Olufsen's new 40in widescreen TV is, surprisingly, square. Not because geeky is the new cool, but to slip in unnoticed among the other objets d'art mounted on your walls (well, hopefully not entirely unnoticed, as it does cost Pounds 6,000). There's also a good technical reason for its shape: the panel masks the audio system (four 10W speakers and one 50W subwoofer at the rear), which is covered by 'acoustically transparent' cloth available in a variety of colours, to...

Wake Up to the Digital World ; Live for Gadgets Finally Got Used to Having Chris Evans for Breakfast Every Morning? Time for a Clock Radio That Doesn't Just Tell You How Late You Are

Modern-day radio alarm clocks tend to offer you more entertainment than you actually need, so the trick when buying one is to ensure you're not paying for features you won't use. Internet radio, in particular, sounds like a great idea, but it's far more complicated than a lot of people imagine: it's really rather difficult to navigate 15,000 stations, and unless you're very, very tech-savvy you might want to steer clear of needing to do so. Functions such as Facebook and Twitter might also be...

Ten of the Greatest ; British Naval Victories Live for Lists

1 SLUYS FRANCE, 1340 The first naval battle of the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). The French king, Philip VI, was preparing to invade England from Flanders, but his fleet was surprised at dawn at Sluys (right). The English attacked from the east with the rising sun blinding the French crossbowmen, while illuminating their own ships perfectly for the English archers. Conservative estimates put the French losses at about 190 ships and 16-18,000 men, including both admirals. Such was the scale o...

How Will It All End? ; When You've Got to Go You've Got to Go... But Will It Be by Falling Off a Ladder, Falling Out of Bed - or Simply Walking Down the Street? Data Graphic

There's a lot of data circulating about the risks of death, and it can all seem pretty alarming, especially in isolation. I wanted to link all the odds so I could get an accurate picture of what, statistically, would most likely be the end of me. The result is this datagraphic. The figures used are lifetime odds mostly derived from Office for National Statistics (ONS) data. The ONS keeps an incredibly detailed list of all the deaths in the UK each year, caused by almost every kind of disease ...

Squaring the Circle with Nissan's Cube Ldn

How would you solve this giant Rubik's cube? Ridiculous question, I know, but I bet you there'll be some readers who could take one look at its messed-up sides and know how to twist them back into order in a matter of seconds. I've seen people do it on YouTube. One of them's only six years old. It certainly puts me to shame: my mum bought me one when I was ten - I fiddled with it for about five minutes, decided it was impossible and resorted to peeling the stickers off and putting them back i...
