Coming up on Watchdog
We can't believe it's the last show in the current series on Monday 18 May. We'll bring you the latest on some of the year's biggest stories. We return to Bulgaria to track down the man whose failed property developments have cost Brits hundreds of thousands of pounds. Also, we lay out the law for a clamping company, unearth more bizarre errors by the DVLA and reveal once and for all whether the energy companies really are ripping us off.

Watch the programme on Monday at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Equality at work
Why is it that men still dominate the top jobs? And what - if anything - is holding women back? Sophie Raworth and Justin Rowlatt explore why so few women get top jobs in two new programmes on BBC Two next week. Why can't a Woman Succeed Like a Man? and The Trouble with Working Women.

Have you ever asked for a pay rise? Take the gender pay test to see if you think more like a woman or man.

Choosing holidays

You may be wondering what's the best way to take currency on your trip overseas. One of the cheapest ways used to be to have a Nationwide account, but since 6 May even it has started to charge customers for transactions outside of Europe.

If you have a question about holiday finance, what currency to take, and what insurance to take out, you can send it to a panel of experts on Wednesday's Money Box Live. Vincent Duggleby will be joined by The Independent travel editor Simon Calder, travel editor, Frances Tuke, from the Association of British Travel Agents, and Jonathan Buttery from Voyager Insurance.

You can call Money Box when lines open on Wednesday at 1.30pm. The number to call is 03700 100 444. Or you can send your question using the form on the Money Box website.
