First Broadcast: 10PM Thu 28 February 2013

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...

Has Dave managed to get the banking world to listen? Have the naysayers of the banking world eaten their words? Has the promised support of the politicians turned into real policy reform? And was Dave able to stand up to the regulator and keep his tiny local 'bank' open for business?
