Show Me Your Money, Channel 4, review He started the ballcock rolling, declaring he took home a round million per year. And so it went on, from the staff in the garage, to the call centre, to the canteen to the plumbers (or the engineers as they're referred to), declaring what they earned. Also, at Mullins's request, the staff declared, on a slip, what they thought they were worth. Some of the high-earning plumbers, many of them earning £70-80,000 a year but some said to be on six figure salaries, were reluctant. One, called "Lurch," resolutely refused to disclose his salary and we can only hazard he was in the latter group as, on spying a blocked drain with barely concealed glee he declared: "I smell this and I think of pound notes." The adage "Where there's muck there's brass" could not have been more apt. Slowly but surely this engaging documentary teased out the humanity of the characters, with even Mullins relenting, saying he would match any contribution made by the high earners. Most heart-warming of all was the case of manager Carl, who, on a salary of £56,000 a year, had asked for a pay rise of £19,000 (a request that evoked a suitably fruity response from Mullins) and Tina from the canteen who earned an annual salary of £14,500 for a 45-hour week. Carl, who worked a day in the canteen to see what Tina's job was like, decided to donate £1,000 from his salary. There was also progress fromt he garage employees who took it upon themselves to find savings in their department to bring salary parity. Mullins could not believe his luck, and his plan was no pipe dream after all.
