The voucher website Groupon has stopped promoting a dental clinic, after customers complained they'd received nothing for their money or had been abandoned part way through treatment. The clinic offered teeth straightening treatments costing between £800 and £1000 but has become very difficult to contact. It's left some patients in pain with braces they can't afford to have removed. Last year was a bumper one for UK cinemas, with rising ticket sales. Winifred Robinson speaks to an industry insider about what the big cinema chains are doing to entice people away from their big televisions and back in to the cinema. New figures suggest around half of people aged 55+ would like to downsize their home, but many don't because they can't find a suitable property to move into. We ask what's preventing developers from building the kind of houses suitable for the "last time buyer". Producer: Alex Burton Presenter: Winifred Robinson.
