The programme will see a company director or chief executive spend time with one of their minimum wage workers followed by a week living on the same budget.

At the end of their time they'll have to decide if they think the minimum wage is an adequate salary to live on or whether they want to increase pay to the living wage.

Creators Nine Lives Media, said: “The programme is an entertaining way of looking at the whole minimum wage/living wage debate, but also tackles serious issues such as inflation, the cost of living and the ever increasing gap between the high paid and low paid workers. The bosses would need to have a real opinion on the way the economy is run, plus be media friendly. They would also have to employ people on the minimum wage.”
