The American satirist Joe Queenan meets the brains behind the ideas bucking the economic downturn.

The American satirist Joe Queenan is fascinated by anyone who can turn an idea into a revenue stream. So three years on from his series A Wonderful Way to Make a Living - in which he met the penetration testers, the naked yoga instructor, and the emergency shirt delivery guy - Joe is back to meet the brains behind the businesses bucking the economic downturn. This week he meets the company that rents out an extraordinary array of empty properties - including police stations and fire stations - to people in search of cheap rent. The only catch is that they have to guard the property too. The producer is Miles Warde.
