About this episode

The episode discusses the final part of the trilogy on the Reichmanns, focusing on the collapse of their megaproject at Canary Wharf and its aftermath.

The final part of our special trilogy on the Reichmanns traces how the mother of all megaprojects became a siren song for Olympia & York. Everything that had brought them to these heights – the creative financing, the cinematic self-belief, the ability to convince others and themselves they could pull it all off – worked against them at London's Canary Wharf , and we talk through the aftermath of the collapse and the legacy they left behind. Featuring all-time characters like Kentucky hustler G. Ware Travelstead , Canadian pirate Robert Campeau and the Iron Lady herself , this is the climax of one of the most epic journeys in all business.
