“Burnley and Pendle will feature a lot in the series whis is always a requirement of mine when I’m making television. The series will see the self-made millionaire, who made his fortune through his Colne-based minbus business, teach people the money-making skills that helped him.

The first episode sees Dave advise a council worker who wants to double her £1,000 savings by running food stalls in her spare time.
