Friday night, first thing, the tanning shop, a good nine-minute blaster!

Meet Shane, one of the low-paid generation that lives for the weekend while still living at home.
Come on the raz with him and his boys as he hits the town for all it's worth - tanned, buffed and blowing his wage packet: a weekend millionaire.
Tonight he's in charge, living it large. On Monday, it's back to the grind and he starts all over again.
At turns bitingly funny and heartbreaking, Raz takes you on an illuminating rollercoaster of a night out in modern Britain.

Shane is another thirty-year-old weekend millionaire, still living at home with his parents. Tonight, he's hitting the town. On Monday, he'll start again.
