Dan-Air was one of Britain's biggest airlines and took millions of people on their first package holidays.

So, why did such a successful business end up 'toast'?

The BBC Business journalist, Sean Farrington, and the entrepreneur, Sam White look into it.

They are joined by:

-Graham Simons - Dan-Air historian and author of the book 'The Spirit of Dan-Air'

-Jackie Stacey & James Hoffmeister - former Dan-Air cabin crew

Produced by Jon Douglas. Toast is a BBC Audio North production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.

You can email the programme at toast@bbc.co.uk

Feel free to suggest topics which could be covered in future episodes.

Sliced Bread returns for a new batch of investigations in December, where Greg Foot investigates so-called wonder products to find out whether they really are the best thing since sliced bread. In the meantime, Toast is available in the Sliced Bread feed on BBC Sounds
