The current series of The Money Programme (Sunday, 5.30 p.m., BBC 2) goes out on a high note with a lecture from US conductor Roger Nierenberg backed up by the BBC Concert Orchestra and in front of an audience of leading business people.
Mr Nierenberg equates a conductor's relationship with an orchestra to that of any business leader with their organisation. Get it right and you produce harmony. Get it wrong and effectiveness is undermined by the discordant notes.
We Need Money (Sunday, 8.00 p.m., BBC 2) is the cry from St Paul's Cathedral as the Dean and Chapter instigate plans to increase the marketing potential of the cathedral.

The changing tides in energy production around Europe are explored in Engine Earth (Wednesday, 8.30 p.m., RTE 1) presented by Duncan Stewart.

It visits Europe-wide examples of hydro, wind, solar and biomass projects.
