In the Second Life economy, more than $600,000(usd) changes hands every day. Now the virtual world is about to play host to a BBC show about that economy and how people have made substantial money from it.

The possibility of making real money from virtual creations is the subject of the latest episode of the BBC show The Money Programme, which is scheduled for broadcast on Friday.

The episode features reporter Max Flint, who explores moneymaking options in a variety of online worlds--including Second Life and Lord of the Rings Online. The show will also be the first by the BBC to be broadcast simultaneously on traditional TV and within Second Life itself.
