You and Yours

Available for over a year

Adults in Northern Ireland are to get £100 to spend in local shops. It's part of a £140m plan to help the local economy as it comes out of lockdown. We'll look at what it will do for businesses there. Sales of bikes have surged during the lockdown- so much so retailers are struggling to keep up with deliveries. Line of Duty's Steve Arnott is inspiring a surge in waistcoat sales. Menswear shops say they've seen more people buying them and searching for waistcoats online since the series started. And we look at how older people fare when trying to meet new partners on online dating sites. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Lydia Thomas
