Transport Rebound; Telephone Switch-Off; Marketing Alcohol

You and Yours

Available for over a year

People are returning to public transport but not in the numbers transport bosses need to run their services. What will a decline in passengers and the daily commute mean for the recovery? The analogue telephone is 150 years old but technology is no respecter of age and in the next three years the network that once astounded the world like no other invention will be switched off. Why the sun and alcoholic drinks marketing were made for each other. The author of a book on marketing booze debates with a TV screen writer about how alcohol is and should be represented on screen. Has the high street re-bound been short-lived as we choose to spend our pent up cash in pubs and restaurants and on home entertaining instead of shops? And, how can a power company with terrible customer service still be top rated by consumer watch dogs? Presenter: Peter White Producer: Kevin Mousley
