UK Holidays, Wilko and Octopus buys Shell

You and Yours

Available for over a year

What's the latest with Wilko? A big deal to save the stores seems to have collapsed...so what happens next? Staying with the high street - shoppers still seem to be turning to discount stores - so is that good news for pound shops? Summer's the most important time of year for UK holiday destinations - so how did the sector cope with the cost of living crisis and July's rain? We'll get a view from two tourist hotspots. You might have seen social media posts advertising short-term sublets of people's rentals properties - we'll find out what's going on. Also on the programme - we ask Octopus what its acquisition of Shell Energy means for customers and find out how Chinese electric car companies are faring in the UK market. PRESENTER: RIMA AHMED PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
