Episode notes

Richard branson was in his late twenties, courting a lovely lady wh is now my wife. He had been away from the virgin islands for about three weeks when he decided to set up an air line. The registry office thought it was rude and they couldn't actually register it. In the end, i wrote them a letter having looked at the dictionary and said that virgin means pure, untouched, unblemished.

In this week's Business Weekly, Samira Ahmed speaks to business mogul Sir Richard Branson about becoming a serial entrepreneur developing the Virgin brand, signing some of the biggest names in music and the next frontiers of space travel.
