Despite the worst public spending cuts for generations, it's business as usual for the banks. Mark Daly undergoes a transformation from investigative hack to city boy.

Exactly two years since the near collapse of Scotland's biggest banks, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scotland Investigates whether it's time to start trusting bankers again. This programme reveals that despite the worst public spending cuts for generations, it's business as usual for the banks - and the mega bonus is back.

Focusing on Scotland's bailed out institutions, HBoS and RBS, reporter Mark Daly speaks to a series of city bankers - many of them totally unrepentant - and asks the questions everybody wants answered. He also investigates the men in suits who despite failing catastrophically - are still in the money, and sometimes even in the same jobs.

And Daly goes on a personal journey through the beating heart of the UK's financial sector - the Square Mile. He secures entry into one of the most exclusive banker's parties of the year, and whilst uncovering what life is really like in the City, he undergoes a transformation from investigative hack - into City boy.
