Oliver Hides takes your calls on the Huw Edwards TV drama, Christmas debt and David Bowie.

Will you be watching the Huw Edwards TV drama? Did you feel the pressure to overspend during Christmas? And your memories of David Bowie.

Doc Martin star Martin Clunes will portray disgraced newsreader Huw Edwards in a new drama for Channel 5. The two-part factual series, which has a working title of ‘Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards’, will recount the presenter's "double life" and how the scandal unfolded, featuring interviews from those who first reported the story. Are you ready to watch the drama? Or does it feel too soon?

We are on the Christmas comedown, and one of the most expensive times of year. The debt charity Step Change says 4,000 people visited its website on Christmas Day to seek advice on dealing with debt - as well as a further 15,000 over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. And, new research suggests that people in Wales will spend more on average at Christmas. Do you feel the pressure to overspend during the festive period? And are you paying the price for it now?

And tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary since David Bowie passed away, leaving a musical and performance legacy that spans the generations. How will you be remembering him?
