Busy times

Declan Curry | 16:12 UK time, Wednesday, 8 October 2008

Naga is tempted to slap her hand over my mouth most days (if not every hour). But today I really wished she had, right at the end of the programme when I was talking too much - and more importantly for too long. Over-running your time slot is a cardinal sin in live TV. I've single-handedly made ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ2 late for the rest of the day. By 26 seconds.

But we did have a lot to talk about. The bank bail-out, the surprise cut in interest rates, and the extra protection for savers with the Icelandic bank Icesave made for a packed programme.

And for our inspiration, we turned to you. You sent an astonishing number of emails this morning, asking some very challenging questions about the bail-out. So Simon explained how the deal worked, and our banking expert tackled your questions - or as many as we could put to him.

And many of you are still concerned about those Icelandic banks. Rachel has been doing a sterling job over the last few days, taking your questions and trying to hunt down some answers. We dealt with many of them today - you can catch her report again on the Working Lunch website. We're going to come back to the issue again and again until we've told you all you need to know. Watch out for our savings special with Christine Ross on Friday's programme.

So thank you for your questions and comments. Please do keep them coming in. We hope you think the 30 minutes you spend with us is a wise investment.
