After huge success with Dubai, Piers’ next stop is the world’s most expensive place to live, Monaco. Piers scratches beneath the surface of this mesmerising place and meets some of its wealthiest residents, the celebrities who have settled there and even manages to buttonhole the current ruler, Prince Albert. He also works out how much money he would need to buy the best yacht, apartment, car and accessories on offer. He also meets some of Monaco’s less wealthy residents to find out what it’s like living alongside incomprehensible affluence, including Easyjet’s Stelios and British High Street king Sir Phillip Green, who along with other tycoons, were lured to Monaco because residents don’t have to pay tax.

What is the nature of human uniqueness? Where did "The Human Spark" ignite, and when? And perhaps most tantalizingly, why? In this three-part series, Alan Alda takes these questions personally, visiting with dozens of scientists on three continents, and participating directly in many experiments -- including the detailed examination of his own brain. Bringing his trademark humor and curiosity to face-to-face conversations with leading researchers, he seeks "The Human Spark" -- from archaeologists finding clues in the fossilized bones and tools of our ancestors; to primatologists studying our nearest living relatives to explore what we have in common and what sets us apart; to neuroscientists peering into his mind with the latest brain scanning technologies.
