PIERS MORGAN ON...

Three episodes of access-all-areas VIP tour on BBC Knowledge

Piers Morgan On... will run for three episodes from May 2 at 22h30 on BBC Knowledge (channel 251 on DStv) to continue every Sunday at the same time.

Piers Morgan gives viewers an access-all-areas VIP tour of some of the most glamorous locations in the world, offering a rare insight into the hotspots, people and extremes of the most desirable places on the planet. He heads to the iconic destination of Las Vegas to learn how the city is re-emerging from the impact of the credit crunch. There, he meets Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone and millionaire heiress Paris Hilton, and discovers the very real threat of water shortages in the area.

In the Spanish holiday resort of Marbella, Piers takes a look at the contrasting worlds that co-exist in the Spanish port: the stunning opulence of the ‘golden mile’ where exclusive restaurants sell Champagne for 30,000 Euros a bottle, and the less exclusive sea-front bars where robberies and violence are rife.

In Shanghai, he samples the climate of raw ambition driving the rapidly expanding economic powerhouse to the brink of global dominance. But the pace of progress does not promise improved fortunes for all, as Piers discovers when he meets a family who were made homeless to make room for expansion.
