We're delving into the take-away sector. The end of the pandemic has driven a slump in takeaway orders and last week Just Eat just sold for £3.4 billion having been valued at £14 billion in 2021. So have we fallen out of love with our Friday night take-aways? Shari Vahl talks to analyst Giles Thorne to find out more plus we hear about the rise of 'fake-aways' as more people seek to cut costs by recreating their favourite meals at home. We're buying more own-label products than ever before - so have we stopped seeing them as the cheap alternative? Ananda Roy from Circana talks to Shari Vahl about how own label products have upped their game. Plus the rise of 'location vocations' as new figures show that more people are booking a holiday after watching a TV show, whether BBC Race Across the World or HBO Hit The White Lotus. PRESENTER - SHARI VAHL PRODUCER - CATHERINE EARLAM
