How to Open a Bank

In the first episode Dave learns about how banks operate. Almost everyone he meets in banking tells Dave to forget the idea. But the people of Burnley still support him and Dave presses ahead anyway. Together with help from local businesses and tradesmen Dave turns a tiny old flower shop into Burnley's very own 'bank' and has a grand opening. From a busker needing a loan for a new amplifier to a tropical fish store, Dave meets people in the community who until now have been unable to borrow money. The money begins pouring out of the 'bank' - and it starts to make a real difference to the town, but not much is coming in.

As things gather momentum, he gambles on the stock market, canvasses for wider support, takes his message to the Bank of England and meets Business Secretary Vince Cable, before returning to his home town to see what effect his loans have had and find out whether he has broken even in the first six months.

The day after Bank of Dave first aired, local people queued to put money into Dave's care and the world's press flocked to Burnley to see his 'bank' in action. Politicians from all sides were quick to jump on Dave's banking bus to show their support and praise his common sense. Hailed by many as the 'People's Banker', Dave received letters pleading for him to open a branch in other towns too. But not everyone was a fan - the FSA (Financial Services Authority), which regulates the banking industry, had its own nasty surprise in store...
